Coir is a natural fiber extracted from the husk of coconut and used in a wide range of domestic products including floor mats, door mats, brushes and mattress filling. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of this renewable resource as a horticulture growing medium.
Soil is not a good medium in which to grow plants. It is either too wet (and thus does not provide adequate aeration) or else it is too dry (with good aeration), but insufficient water for optimum plant growth.
In the field there is little that can be done economically to overcome these problems, but in intensive greenhouse production (controlled environment agriculture), improving the root environment not only becomes feasible but necessary.
For some 50 years, greenhouse crop producers in developed countries have sought an economic, disease-free medium in which to grow their plants. Until the late 50s, soil was the standard medium in which plants were grown with the exception being plants in pots which were grown in a specially concocted 'potting medium'. In the late 19th Century, this was a confidential formulation held tightly by the chief propagator, but in the 1950s, the John Inns Institute in the UK developed a number of standardized loam + peat + sand-based media, while the University of California developed a series of standardized growing media based primarily on peat and sand (the UC System).
Nevertheless, the majority of crops (such as tomatoes) were still grown in soil in the greenhouse. The soil structure might be improved by the addition of farmyard manure, and in the case of cucumbers, by the construction of a raised bed consisting primarily of turfy loam and rotted horse manure. However, growing the same crops in the same soil year after year lead to the inevitable build-up of soil borne diseases (such a verticilium) and pests (such as nematodes) and necessitated the expensive (but essential) development of soil sterilization (actually pasteurization) by steam or fumigation by chemicals such as methyl bromide or chloropicrin.
Over this period, the only products to gain general acceptance have been Rockwool and peat. Perlite and pumice and even vermiculite have been and are still used in some situations, but most greenhouse crops are grown in the soil, or in Rockwool, or in peat at this present time. Weight of the medium and its disposal after use now all play an important role in determining the suitability of a growing medium.
Peat is now considered to be a limited resource, and there are strong environmental pressures to reduce its use in horticulture, while the production of Rockwool (an artificial medium produced by melting granite rock, and spinning it into a candy floss-like slabs) is energy demanding. Also, a major problem with Rockwool is disposal after use. In many countries it is now a requirement that the used material is returned to the manufacturer for melting down into briquettes-a further expense.
In recent years, there has been a steadily increasing interest in the use of coir dust (or coco peat) as a growing medium. Some 20 years ago, I was invited by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to write a project proposal to develop coco peat for horticultural purposes. This proposal was rejected by the Indian Government, because they advised that they already knew how to use coco peat in horticulture. History has proved them wrong; because we still do not fully understand how to use this medium for best results, but this is now all water under the bridge.
Coir dust is a product from the coconut palm tree (Cocos nucifera), which grows throughout the tropics. The coconut palm is frequently described as the tree of life, because of the large number of useful products that can be derived from it. These include wood products from the trunk, copra and a variety of drinks from the fruit, fiber and coir dust from the husk, charcoal products from the fruit shell, roofing material from the leaves and even dye from the roots. Commercially, the main product from the coconut palm has been copra, and more recently considerable interest has been shown in the potential for coconut water as a health drink for athletes. Coconut water comes from immature nuts before the coconut 'meat' has developed.
Some 50 million tons of coconuts are harvested worldwide every year. The major producing countries are the Philippines, Indonesia and India, which produce between them some 90% of the world's coconuts. About 25% of this weight is the mesocarp or husk (coir). Coir comprises of fiber and coir dust in a ratio of approximately 1/3:2/3. In those countries where coir fiber is produced, the coir dust is (or has been in the past) a waste product, and huge heaps of it exist. Coir dust consists of a mixture of short fibers and cork-like particles ranging in size from granules to fine dust. It is also known as coco peat.
Traditionally, coir fiber was obtained by retting the husks in water for up to 10 months, after which the fiber was separated from the coir dust by beating with wooden mallets. For white coir, the retting was in slightly saline water, and for brown coir the retting was in fresh water. The coir fibers were then dried, cleaned, and the white fibers spun into yarn to make rugs and rope, while the brown fibers were used in mattresses. The coir dust was considered to be a waste product, and for many years dumped in piles, which provided a source of pollution and also a health risk from disease carrying mosquitoes, breeding in the stagnant pools of water caused by the heaps of coir dust. It is only in the past 25 years that a market been developed for coir dust as a horticultural growing medium.
When coir dust (coco peat) first appeared in the early 1990s, the largest stockpiles were the first to be exploited and these were the oldest. Some of these coir dumps were reputedly over 100 years old. Now that this old material is becoming scarce, only freshly processed coir is now available. Many of the early efforts to develop the horticultural use of coco peat as a growing medium foundered, because it was found that some coir dust contained excessively high levels of sodium chloride. Why this should occur is unclear. It may be that the coir dust had been obtained from coir, which had been retted with saline water, or it may be that the coir dust had been obtained from coconuts grown near the sea, which had absorbed high levels of sodium. Whatever the reason, it resulted in coir dust as a horticultural growing medium getting very poor press.
To overcome this, buffered coir dust was introduced. This is 'manufactured' by using a calcium nitrate solution to leach out any sodium from the coir dust, and then leaching out excess calcium nitrate with fresh water. At the same time, this will also remove any excess potassium.
If all the world's coir was used to produce coir fiber, then there would be approximately eight million tons of coir dust produced annually. In fact, much of the coir is not processed at the present time.
About 23t of coir medium is required for every hectare of greenhouse use, which means that the current world supply of coconuts could provide the equivalent of 350,000ha of greenhouses. The world greenhouse industry (controlled environmental agriculture) is about 500,000ha, so there is still plenty of coir to go round. Not everyone will use it, and it is sometimes used to grow two or three crops before being discarded, so currently there is plenty available; in any case, only a small amount of husk is converted into fiber, and the rest disposed of in other ways, such as fuel etc.
As stated earlier, coir dust (coco peat) is obtained from the husk of the coconut, and is essentially a waste product. To obtain the coir fiber (which finds a ready use for making ropes and for stuffing mattresses etc) requires decorticating machinery to break up the husk, and then to separate the fiber from the dust. The coir dust is initially sieved to remove any lumps and fiber, and then left for up to six months to 'mature' outside in large heaps, exposed to the weather. After drying, the coir fiber is then used for manufacturing rope, or for filling mattresses.
Coco peat is then usually (but not always) treated with calcium nitrate solution to buffer it and remove sodium. This is done by applying a standard quantity of calcium nitrate solution to a fixed volume of coco peat, and then after a few days, applying water to wash out any excess calcium nitrate. It is now necessary to dry the coco peat prior to compressing it. This is usually carried out by the sun on large concrete pads in areas of low rainfall; but where rains can occur, it requires artificial methods. Even in arid climates, the occasional rainfall can prove a problem, as coco peat readily absorbs moisture. Under these circumstances the coco peat is rapidly heaped up, so that only the top gets wet, and when the rain stops, it is spread out again on the concrete drying pads.
In fact, there is only one published account of the physical characteristic of coir from different sites, and this is virtually of no value, as it does not compare coir of similar particle sizes.
The figures also point to the difficulty of comparing the performance of coir dust with other media, without defining the specific physical characteristics of the medium. This huge variation in physical attributes must question the value of any such comparisons.
Rockwool is still very much the 'gold' standard as a growing medium, but rockwool has to be treated with a chemical during manufacturing to make it hydrophilic, because industrial (insulation) Rockwool is hydrophobic (water repellent). Of course, it is possible to manufacture Rockwool to precise standards, but in the final analysis it is a completely inert material, which does not absorb nutrients or water, unlike both peat and coir, which absorb both water and nutrients, and thus provide an important buffering capacity. Rockwool's buffering capacity is limited solely to the quantity of nutrients and water held within the pore space of the medium.
There are some important differences between peat and coir, which must be emphasized. Firstly, coir is hydrophilic (that is, it absorbs water easily, even when dry), whereas peat is hydrophobic (that is, when it is dry it very is difficult to re-wet). Secondly, once peat dries it tends to shrink, and when wet tends to slump; whereas, coir tends to retain its basic structure when wet or dry. This is important in that when peat slumps, it does not recover its air-filled porosity.
Another important difference between coir and peat is that peat has a superior water release curve-although coir is capable of holding large quantities of water, much of this water is held very tightly by the coir and is not easily available to the plant; whereas, much of the water held in peat is easily available to the plant. When compared with Rockwool, most of the water is also easily available to the plant.
Coir products, however, have the potential to provide a range of different water-holding and air-filled space by mixing different particle sizes and ratios together. Another important factor in its favor, is that after use it can be disposed of by being incorporated into the field as an organic amendment, and thus improve soil structure etc.
Within Australia there are some 1665 producers of greenhouse crops on 1341ha. Many of these growers still use soil, old greenhouses and old technology. This is going to change (Smith, 2005).
In New Zealand, there are 2000 producers of greenhouse crops on 905ha (Ivicevich, 2004). The majority of these growers use hydroponics. Individual properties have increased rapidly in size, and the number of growers has fallen over the past five years and is continuing to do so.
In New Zealand, coir is replacing Rockwool and pumice as a medium for the hydroponic production of tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums. In Japan, there are some 53,000ha of protective cultivation, but only 1348ha in soilless culture, and few of these use coir.
There are currently some 200,000ha of greenhouses in the Mediterranean region (Baudoin, 1999), and PR China has been reported to have a similar area.
Although much of these are low-tech soil-base systems, eventually and inevitably high-tech hydroponic systems will become established, and coir is likely to become the preferred medium.
Greenhouse vegetable crops growing in hydroponic media (Rockwool, pumice, perlite, peat, coir) generate two tons per hectare of 'waste' media per year (Stanghellini et al., 2003). Assuming only 10% of the greenhouse industry uses coir, then the requirements will be in excess of 100,000 t/year worldwide.
Much of the greenhouse production worldwide is still undertaken in soil, and with improvements in the control of the aerial environment there will be a need to improve the root environment in order to take full advantage of the potential of an improved aerial environment.

Trueblue Inc v. DeRuby
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER denying 6 Partial Motion to Dismiss, except to the extent the breach of fiduciary duty claim is based on the misappropriation of a trade secret. (Ordered by Chief Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn on 4/13/2018) (zkc)
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
Civil Action No. 3:18-cv-0192-M
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant’s Rule 12(b)(6) Partial Motion to Dismiss for Failure to
State a Claim. (ECF No. 6). For the reasons stated below, the Motion is DENIED.
Factual and Procedural Background
From approximately December 31, 2008 to March 9, 2017, Defendant was employed by
CLP Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Plaintiff. (Compl. ¶¶ 5-6, ECF No. 1).
Plaintiff alleges that while employed by CLP, Defendant began working for True Talent, a
competing corporation which Defendant has an ownership stake. (Id. ¶¶ 13-14). Plaintiff also
alleges that Defendant misappropriated trade secrets, made use of company resources in support
of a competing corporation, solicited at least one existing CLP customer on behalf of a
competing corporation, induced a CLP Branch Manager to violate his non-compete to work on
behalf of a competing corporation, and took confidential information. (Id. ¶¶ 15-37).
On January 25, 2018, Plaintiff filed this action for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary
duty, tortious interference with prospective relations, and violation of the Texas Uniform Trades
Secrets Act (“TUTSA”). (ECF No. 1). On February 26, 2018, Defendant filed a Partial Motion
to Dismiss claiming that Plaintiff’s breach of fiduciary duty claim is preempted by the TUTSA.
(ECF No. 6).
a. Rule 12(b)(6)
A pleading must contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the
pleader is entitled to relief.” FED. R. CIV. P. 8(a)(2). The pleading standard Rule 8 announces
does not require “detailed factual allegations,” but it does demand more than an unadorned
accusation devoid of factual support. Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting Bell
Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). To survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint
must contain sufficient factual matter to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face.
Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570. The court must accept all of the plaintiff's factual allegations as true,
but it is not bound to accept as true “a legal conclusion couched as a factual
allegation.” Id. at
555. Where the facts do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of
misconduct, the complaint has stopped short of showing that the pleader is plausibly entitled to
relief. Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678.
The Texas Uniform Trade Secrets Act generally “displaces conflicting tort, restitutionary,
and other law of this state providing civil remedies for misappropriation of a trade secret.” TEX.
CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 134A.007(a). Courts interpreting the nearly identical provision
of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act have uniformly held that a claim is not preempted if the
plaintiff is able to show the claim is based on facts unrelated to the misappropriation of the trade
secret. See, e.g., Coulter Corp. v. Leinert, 869 F. Supp. 732 (E.D. Mo. 1994); Smithfield Ham
and Prods. Co., Inc. v. Portion Pac, Inc., 905 F. Supp. 346, 348 (E.D. Va. 1995); Micro Display
Sys., Inc. v. Axtel, Inc., 699 F. Supp. 202, 205 (D. Minn. 1988). As stated in Smithfield, “[t]he
plain language of the preemption provision indicates that the law was intended to prevent
inconsistent theories of relief for the same underlying harm by eliminating alternative theories of
common law recovery which are premised on the misappropriation of a trade secret.” 905 F.
Supp. at 348.
Plaintiff’s breach of fiduciary duty claim depends in part on Defendant’s alleged
misappropriation of trade secrets. However, there are sufficient facts to support a breach of
fiduciary duty claim on other grounds. Under Texas law, an employee may prepare to go into
competition with his employer before resigning without breaching fiduciary duty, but may not
act for the employee’s future interest at the expense of the employer by a course of conduct
designed to hurt the employer. Johnson v. Brewer & Pritchard, P.C, 73 S.W.3d 193, 199 (Tex.
2002). Plaintiff here alleges that Defendant worked on behalf of a competitor while still
employed by Plaintiff, made use of company resources, and solicited Plaintiff’s customers and
staff, all at the expense of his employer. (Id. ¶¶ 15-37); see also 360 Mortg. Grp., LLC v.
Homebridge Fin. Servs., Inc., 2016 WL 900577, at *7 (W.D. Tex. Mar. 2, 2016) (holding that
although the breach of fiduciary duty claim relied in part on the misappropriation of a trade
secret, the facts surrounding plaintiff’s dual employment were sufficient to withstand a TUTSA
preemption claim). Contrary to Defendant’s argument, this case is unlike Embarcadero Techs.,
Inc. v. Redgate Software, Inc., 2018 WL 315753, at *5 (W.D. Tex. Jan. 5, 2018), and Super Starr
Int’l, LLC v. Fresh Tex. Produce, LLC, 531 S.W.3d 829, 843 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi 2017,
no pet. h.), in which the breach of fiduciary duty claims were premised only on the
misappropriation of a trade secret.
Therefore, the TUTSA does not preempt Plaintiff’s breach of fiduciary duty claim
regarding Defendant’s dual employment.
For the reasons stated above, Plaintiff has pleaded a sufficient factual matter to state a
claim for breach of fiduciary duty. Therefore, Defendant’s Rule 12(b)(6) Partial Motion to
Dismiss is DENIED, except to the extent the breach of fiduciary duty claim is based on the
misappropriation of a trade secret.

Carlisle Hospitals trust has reacted strongly to a report by opponents of the private finance initiative that claims its well-advanced project has 'worsened the trust's financial situation'.
Trust chief executive Brian Waite said it was ready to provide a 'comprehensive response' to the 'frankly flawed' Unison report by David Price, Declan Gaffney and Allyson Pollock of University College London .
Trust managers admitted last month that they had identified only£2m of the£3.2m savings needed to finance the new hospital's running costs, with a large part of the shortfall resulting from unexpectedly high business rates for the£67m development.
It also needed£7m to cover double-running costs, tower block demolition at Cumberland Infirmary and variations to the PFI scheme.
Mr Waite said last week that talks with North Cumbria health authority and Northern and Yorkshire regional office had now resolved all these issues.
Of the Unison report, he said: 'This is trying to make this all PFI, whereas most of these things happen under any scheme.
'We are not saying everything is hunky-dory, but we will open ahead of time and on budget - and that can't be bad.'
The hospital is due to open on 1 April, more than a month ahead of schedule, with some facilities released to the trust in February.
The trust has previously argued that the PFI hospital is£5.9m cheaper than its public sector equivalent, an idea derided in the Unison report.
It says the trust's figures are out by£11m because£7.5m of clinical and litigation risk supposedly transferred to the private sector have not been transferred, and the risk of building over-run has been exaggerated by£3.5m.
It also rehearses a long-running argument about the 'political assumptions' trusts are told to make about interest rates when making comparisons between private and publicly funded developments.
The report says that if rates were adjusted by as little as 0.5 per cent, a publicly funded scheme would have appeared better value for money in Carlisle.
Mr Waite said that while 'playing around' with the risk assessment figures could produce different results, he remained confident that the PFI option 'stacks up'.
The report claims the trust will be paying£3.5m a year more than it is paying for its current facilities, partly because the higher cost of borrowing for the private sector will be passed on in higher capital charges.
It says the hospital will open with 25 per cent fewer beds than the trust operated in 1996 and with at least 87 fewer trained staff.
The trust says:
its workforce plan is still being finalised;
bed numbers have been reduced from 520 in 1996 to 444 in the new hospital, but this is 'a composite of changes in service delivery and the need for all trusts to make efficiency savings year on year';
direct patient care services will be reduced, but this is an effect of site rationalisation not the funding mechanism for it.
The Unison report concludes that 'more people will have to go private' or be 'denied care', a claim described as 'quite frankly a ludicrous statement' by Mr Waite.

Imaging Supplies Warehouse (ISW) announces a new, modernized logo to represent its position better while demonstrating its focus on technology and innovation within the digital decoration industry. In addition to an updated logo, ISW is implementing the use of the tagline “Led by technology… anchored by commitment.”
“ISW uses a technology-based approach in our operations to execute our ability to pick, pack, and ship in one hour. Something that’s unprecedented in our industry. The time has come to align ISW’s logo to better reflect this approach, as well as the reputation we have for our commitment to service. With the addition of new OEM products and diversified product lines, an updated logo will better represent our focus on technology and innovation,” explains Jim Tenholder, president of ISW.
ISW is a master and general distributor for various digital imaging and customization products through a dedicated network of resellers.
In addition to its rebrand, ISW announces a partnership with Polyprint USA, a subsidiary of Polyprint, a manufacturer of direct-to-garment (DTG) equipment headquartered in Greece. Through the partnership, ISW serves as a distributor for Polyprint’s TexJet DTG printers and pretreat applicators in the United States.
“We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Polyprint. The cutting-edge DTG technology coupled with their premium support will elevate the buying experience for our dealer network and their customers,” states Tenholder. “Their low maintenance, cost-effective printing solutions will truly empower garment decorators to create and be successful at a sustainable level.”


The plan will see mothers given sturdy cardboard boxes with clothes, toys, nappies and a built-in mattress to turn the containers into cots.
They are based on a scheme from Finland and have already been hailed as a potential breakthrough in the fight against cot death. Parents are encouraged to let babies sleep on their backs in the converted boxes in the same room as them.
An extra 500 health visitors will also be pledged to give tots a health check at 30 months.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “The baby box is such a simple idea but has been proven to have a real impact, reducing child mortality and helping families at the start of a child’s life.
“By providing every newborn with a baby box we can help child health – and by providing greater support to new families we will also help tackle child poverty and improve the chances of some of our most deprived children.”
The SNP manifesto being launched this week will also sway that the Scottish Parliament should be able to stage a second independence referendum if there is “clear and sustained” evidence that most Scots want to leave the UK.
Although there is no explicit commitment to a second independence vote, Ms Sturgeon made it clear she could move on the issue despite previous claims the 2014 referendum on independence was a “once in a generation” event.

First published in 1996, Robert Ferguson's controversial Henrik Ibsen: A New Biography is perhaps the most irreverent and critical of all the Ibsen biographies. Ferguson provides insight into Ibsen's personal life, his creative work, and the world in which he lived. He paints the portrait of a complex, emotionally tormented artist - not one who is necessarily likable, but one whom we can understand and appreciate.
Using previously unavailable material, including a letter in which Ibsen admits paternity of his illegitimate son, Ferguson chips through the hard enamel of Ibsen's public reputation. He details many of Ibsen's private traumas, such as how his inability to pay for the child's support very nearly landed him in jail, and shows the real impact of these experiences on Ibsen's growth, both as a man and as a playwright. The book clearly demonstrates that Ibsen was one of the great therapeutic artists.
Henrik Ibsen: A New Biography is a deeply researched, wide-ranging account of the man often called the founder of modern drama. At the time of its publication it polarised the critics and stirred up a great deal of debate. Essential reading for anyone interested in Ibsen and in the development of the modern theatre.
Robert Ferguson was born in Blackpool in 1948. After completing Norwegian studies at University College in London, he took up a state scholarship in Norway in1983, and has since then lived in Oslo.
Ferguson is an award-winning dramatist and has translated and adapted several of Ibsen's plays for the BBC. Apart from Henrik Ibsen: A New Biography he is also the author of two other highly acclaimed biographies, Enigma: The Life of Knut Hamsun and Henry Miller: A Life.

It’s been little more than a month that a new entertainment channel, Sony Pal was launched. While it is still to be seen how the channel performs, it has managed to get some of the most reputed producers on-board, the recent one being small screen’s czarina, Ekta Kapoor.
Kapoor’s Yeh Dil Sun Raha Hai is one of the first shows from the Balaji Telefilms’ banner that is set in a small town milieu. Set in Patna, the show charts the journey of Poorvi (Aparna Dixit), the daughter of a senior government employee, and Arjun (Navi Bhangu), the spoilt son of the local coal mafia, and their star-crossed love story.
Interestingly, the show captures life in a small town, and how women there are discriminated and oppressed. Kapoor wants to ensure that the “Decadence that exists in our society is explored, represented and then questioned.”
Being one of the most well-known TV production houses of the country, shows from the Balaji camp usually acquired the prime time slot, but this time around it has gone for with a 7 pm slot. Kapoor says that she has realised that the prime time is changing. “Also, I wanted to tap the small town audience where there’s eagerness to watch television early. While in big cities, the audience switch on the TVs only after 8.30,” she remarked.
Kapoor, who hasn’t experienced living in a small town, even went to meet people to conjure a better concept for this show.

Survey unveils the true cost of in-flight Wi-Fi
A recent survey has revealed the most expensive in-flight Wi-Fi services, allowing customers to see whether surfing the net at 30,000ft really is worth the cost.
The survey was collated by cheapflights.co.uk and analysed the cost of 20 different airlines to create a comprehensive list that unveils the true cost of internet surfing.
While yearly travel insurance packages from Avanti mean that you are able to explore the world with complete peace of mind, the survey found that just one airline offers complimentary Wi-Fi access while on board – that sole provider being Turkish Airlines.
The lowest cost for those that command a price can be found with Monarch Airlines, with passengers looking for internet access being asked to pay £3.99 per flight. Providers that also offered in-flight Wi-Fi include Emirates, Etihad and Singapore Airlines, charging £1.70, £3.10, and £7.45 per hour respectively.
Aer Lingus, Air France and KLM top the scale
The survey also revealed that those flying with Aer Lingus, Air France and KLM would be paying the highest premium for the privilege. Both Aer Lingus and Air France charge £8.65 per hour, while KLM offer the service for one penny cheaper every hour.
While a recent survey of over 1,000 people found that 70 per cent would prefer to have an internet connection as a means to pass time, the extortionate prices mean that some are being priced out of the service. It shows the importance of doing your homework and checking the prices before you start surfing the net at high altitude.
Fortunately, the low prices available on over 60s travel insurance cover from Avanti mean that people are still able to get all the necessaries from their holidays at the lowest cost possible.

Rajoy will “never” accept questioning of Spain’s unity and does not recognise a ‘de facto’ referendum in Catalonia
In the annual Debate on the State of the Union in the Spanish Parliament, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy repeated that he will “never” accept putting Spain’s unity in question. He said that the next Catalan Parliament elections, scheduled for 27 September, are not a ‘de facto’ referendum on independence, as pro-independence parties are claiming. However, Rajoy said he is willing to talk but only if “the law is always respected”. The Spokesperson of the centre-right pro-Catalan State coalition CiU, Josep Antoni Duran i Lleida, emphasised that “not making any proposal” to address Catalonia’s claims is “political negligence”. Furthermore, he regretted that the Spanish Government is not respecting the law when it is recentralising powers and not respecting Catalonia’s self-rule. The Spokesperson for the left-wing Catalan independence party ERC, Alfred Bosch, told Rajoy that “the sooner he acknowledges” that there is an independence referendum in September, “the sooner we will find solutions”.

She is known for her ethnic Indian designs and now celebrated designer Ritu Kumar wants to popularise hand-woven textiles in vogue through her Panchvastra collection. She says this will clear the notion that people have lost interest in such fabrics.
She unveiled the collection Thursday at a show also called Panchvastra, which revolved around five main characters - Ganga, Draupadi, Kunti, Amba and Gandhari - who represent five different moods.
"The whole idea was conceptualised by my son Amrish Kumar and Vidyun Singh. The main idea was to recreate vintage clothing with a modern twist to keep alive the essence of the hand-weaving technique," Kumar said.
Portrayed through the central characters of the Ramayana, the show mixed textiles, theatre and film to bring alive how they are relevant across ages and cultures," she added.
Dancer Anita Ratnam represented Ganga, Dia walked the ramp as Draupadi, Kirron Kher was Kunti, Seema Biswas was Amba and Sushmita Sen portrayed Gandhari.
The collection was a mix of lehangas, kurtis, suits and saris in chanderi, cotton and tie & dye.
"It was delicate and feminine, with a vibrant colour palate comprising strong hues and bright, bold shades. The use of mirror work, along with gota and zardosi embroidery lent a regal look to the ensemble."
Kumar presented five moods in different colours -- purity in hues of white and peach; seduction with bold and rich colours; illusion by the exquisite use of Swarovski crystals, embellishments as well as extravagant garments; exile through a melange of colour -- orange, gold and fuschia; and darkness by beautiful dramatic pieces in black, gold and indigo.
Though Kumar is known for her fascination for hand-woven textiles, she says other designers do not use it by choice.
"I think it's a very personal choice that designers don't want to go for hand-woven textiles. For them, synthetic is very important to cater to the modern world but my ideologies are different and I never promote such fabrics," she explained. Text: IANS.

The Nigerian government has extended the deadline for the ongoing National Identification Number (NIN) and subscriber identity module (SIM) linkage from May 6th, 2021, to June 30th.
Read more about Tech
The directive for the extension was made by Dr Isa Pantami, the Nigerian Minister of communications and digital economy following a virtual meeting with the Chairman of the Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), Adeolu Akande, the executive vice president of the NCC, Umar Garba Dambatta, and the director-general of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Aliyu Azeez.
This information was made public through a joint statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs at the NCC, Ikechukwu Adinde, and the NIMC’s Head of Corporate Communications, Kayode Adegoke.
The statement disclosed that so far, close to 54 million Nigerians with an estimated 190 million mobile numbers have gotten their NIN.
Sign up to the Connect Nigeria daily newsletter
Part of the statement reads:
‘The postponement of the deadline was also based on the request by stakeholders for an extension till 30th of June in order to make it easier for all citizens and legal residents to register. Significant progress has been made in the NIN-SIM verification process. For example, almost 54 million people have obtained their NIN and this can translate to up to 190 million mobile numbers, since empirical evidence suggests that each unique NIN maps to 3 to 4 phone lines.’
Further, the statement revealed that in a bid to make the process easier, telecommunication providers and enrolment agents have opened numerous centres across the nation as the government is making efforts to ensure that eligible citizens and residents obtain their NINs.
‘Furthermore, the telecom providers and other enrolment agents have also opened several centres across the country to make it easier for eligible citizens and residents to obtain and link their NINs. The Federal Government has approved the extension as part of its effort to make it easier for its citizens and residents to obtain the NIN and it is important to take advantage of the extension.’

The Notre Dame Workshop on Ancient Philosophy and the History of Philosophy Forum are excited to welcome visiting scholar Alexander Long from the University of St. Andrews. Please join us for his talk, entitled "Is the Timaeus Plato's On Nature?" which will be followed by a Q&A session. An abstract is included below.
We hope to see you there!
Is the Timaeus Plato's On Nature?
In antiquity the Timaeus acquired a second title: Peri phuseôs (On Nature). But in Plato what is said to be ‘in phusis’, or to be or have a ‘phusis’, is not coextensive with the cosmos, its living inhabitants, and its elemental constituents. Calling the Timaeus Plato’s ‘natural’ philosophy, or his On Nature, fits its engagement with previous Greek philosophy, but it is also misleading, inasmuch as it suggests that the items in Timaeus’ speech belong to one and the same field of inquiry by virtue of having naturalness in common. The broadly Aristotelian uses of ‘nature’ and ‘natural’ in recent scholarship on the dialogue do not match Plato’s uses of the Greek word, and I consider how this affects our understanding of the dialogue and its place in the history of philosophy.

Lesson 41: “God goes with me everywhere I go.”
This means that there is nothing to worry about. We typically run around with lots of wondering how we will get through our day. Lots of us wonder how we will manage various stressors. Life is filled with them, even if you have the best life out there. Being human alone is stressful because people are always growing and evolving. Even when we think growth only happens in childhood, the reality is that our growth never stops. It may look different on the outside than when our bones are getting bigger. But our bodies are always changing and our minds and hearts are always changing. Even if we never expressly attempt to change, life circumstances always involve at least some amount of change over time. This is stressful. Even if we are very happy about changes- like getting married. It all has a degree of difficulty because changing something in our system involves organizing around the change from the old circumstance to the new one, even if we are not aware of it.
This is a constant in life.
Change is inevitable. But change is also a gift when we do it with God. The Course says that God is never away from us. God is always riding in the driver’s seat of our car. And God is an automatic GPS. God never, never, never gives us the wrong directions. This feels so incredible when we can sit down in the passenger’s seat and relax. We can and will trust that God is going to get us exactly where we need to go.
Sometimes we can feel like a victim in the life in the world. We feel like a victim because the ego tells us that we can’t avoid an unpleasant scenario. Then we can feel terrible about being there. We feel like a victim so often when we think we should have gone the other direction. Our ego shames us blames us and tells us how bad we are. This is the start of a whole emotional roller coaster. This is unfortunate always when we feel like we are to blame. When we blame ourselves then we are faced with frustration and self-hatred and a huge dose of guilt over it all. This is terrible shame when we get lost in our inner struggle about how to proceed in life. When we make it our problem and think we ended up in a wrong place this the way to perpetuate our nightmare.
We just need to sit and realize deeply that God loves us and is perfectly happy to provide us with any amount of guidance and support we think we might need. God is always with us. We just need to remember this is so and then our trip into self hatred will end instantly because we realize God is the primary player of our team. All we have to do is rely on Him and remember He is always there for the helping Hand we need and desire.

Jablotron JA-83K control panel
The Jablotron JA-83K control panel is a modular unit. The heart of the unit is the JA-83K main board with 10 wired inputs (up to 30 using three JA-82C modules).
The JA-83K is a supercharged version of the JA-82K with a much larger housing, and the possibility of expanding the number of wired inputs from 10 up to 30 using JA-82C expander units. Adding a JA-82R module allows you to wirelessly connect up to 50 detectors and other devices. The bigger housing can accommodate a huge backup battery up to a capacity of 18 Ah. The JA-83K main board provides building-block-like modularity which allows functional extensions to be made by simply plugging-in the required modules.
The following additional modules can be plugged into this board:
* JA-82R – a radio module which makes it possible to enrol up to 50 wireless devices of the JA-8x and RC-8x range to the control panel (detectors, remote controls, keypads, sirens or thermostats).
* JA-82C – an extension module which provides 10 additional wired inputs, thus extending the total capacity to 20 (or 30 as the case may be) wired inputs. One or two modules can be used.
A communicator can also be used with the control panel:
* JA-8xY – a GSM communicator which the control panel uses for transmitting alarm reports to the user and which communicates with the ARC (alarm receiving centre) via the GSM band. It also enables remote access via a phone keypad or system administration via the GSMLink website.
* JA-80V – a LAN (Ethernet) computer network communicator combined with a phone-line communicator. It allows communication with the ARC via LAN and transmission of reports via a telephone line. It also enables system administration via the GSMLink application.
* JA-80X – a phone-line communicator which is able to communicate with an ARC and which allows voice-reporting to the user pursuant to the type of alarm. This module can be used in combination with a JA-80Y – a GSM phone-line backup.
* JA-80Q – in the case of using a PIR detector with a camera. The JA-68 outputs module can also be used with the control panel – e.g. to provide a link to the transmitter for communication with the surveillance centre.
By assigning connected devices to the A, B or C sections the system can be configured for partial setting or it can be split for use by two independent neighbours. The control panel provides 2 programmable outputs. Code/card operation allows up to 50 codes/cards to be recognised. To connect a hard-wired keypad or a computer, the control panel is equipped with a digital bus provided by terminals and RJ connectors. The system is mains-powered and can be backed up by a battery with a capacity up to 18 Ah (not included). The event memory stores the last 255 events. The internal clock provides an automatic summer time offset. The JA-82R radio module makes it possible for up to 50 wireless devices to be enrolled (detectors, remote controls, keypads, sirens or thermostats). The PG outputs are not only available as physical control-panel terminals, but also as radio signals for the control of UC and AC receiver outputs. Using the JA-83K modularity, any of the JA 80X, JA-80Y or JA-80V communicators can be plugged in as optional modules.
* The JA-68 outputs module can also be used with the control panel – e.g. to provide a link to the transmitter for communication with the surveillance centre.
* External power source: 230V / 50Hz, max 0.1A, CLASS PROTECTION II;
* Power supply: type A (EN 50131-6);
* Backup-battery:12V, 7 to 18Ah, typical battery lifetime approx. 5 years;
* Maximum recharge time:72 hours;
* Backup power output (+U terminal): maximum continuous load 1.1A (when an 18Ah backup battery is used);
* Backup power output (+L terminal): maximum continuous load 0.2A power outputs +U +L have electronic fuse;
* Number of wireless device addresses: 50 (requires a JA-82R module);
* Communications frequency (JA-82R): 868 MHz ISM band;
* Number of hard-wired inputs: 10 (up to 30 if two JA-82C are plugged in)
double balanced inputs, with triggering and tamper functions
(each wireless detector blocks the hard-wired input to which it is assigned);
* External warning output EW: switching to GND, max. 0.5A;
* Internal warning output IW: switching to GND, max. 0.5A;
* Programmable outputs: PGX, PGY max. 0.1 A, switching to GND;
* Event memory: 255 latest events, including date and time stamping;
* Intruder alarm signal or message: after 1 or 2 events (adjustable);
* Tamper signal or message: after 1 event;
* Wrong authorisation code alarm signal or message: after 10 events;
* Fault signal or message: after 1 event;
* Security grade: 2 according to EN 50131-1, EN 50131-6, and EN 50131-5-3;
* Environmental: class II. indoor-general (-10 to +40°C) compliant with EN 50131-1;

TenPoint is releasing two brand new crossbows this year in TenPoint’s Wicked Ridge line; the Wicked Ridge NXT 400 and the Blackhawk 360. We have already reviewed the Blackhawk 360 and now we have finally gotten our hands on the Wicked Ridge NXT 400.
The Ready-to-Hunt Package package includes the Wicked Ridge NXT 400 with ACUdraw, 3x Pro-View Scope, 3-arrow Instant Detach Quiver, 3 Pro Elite 400 carbon arrows with practice points.
Table of Contents
Wicked Ridge NXT 400 Crossbow Specs
Size and Weight
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 is an ultra-compact crossbow measuring a total length of 33inches (without stirrup), and a width of 11.3 inches (axle-to-axle). TenPoint’s Narrow Crossbow Technology (NXT) bow assembly is responsible for the ultra-narrow 6 inches wide when cocked. Making the NXT 400 the narrowest Wicked Ridge crossbow TenPoint developed thus far. Such a compact 400 fps crossbow in this price range is very impressive.
The NXT 400 is ultra-compact and highly maneuverable, making it an ideal crossbow for use in tight spaces such as hunting blinds or tree stands. If you want to check out a crossbow that is even more compact then I would recommend checking out our review of the Ravin R26, which has an axle-to-axle width of 5.75 inches once cocked. The Ravin R26 is also more than twice the price of that of the Wicked Ridge NXT.
TenPoint also designed the Wicked Ridge NXT400 to be as lightweight as possible by using lightweight materials. The Riser and the TRI-LOCK limb pocket system are made from aircraft-grade CNC-machined 7075-T6 aluminum.
The barrel is also made from aluminum and the buttstock has cutouts to further reduce weight. The bullpup stock is molded from PolyOne OnForce, which is also a lightweight material. The Wicked Ridge NXT tips our scales at only 7.4 pounds without accessories.
Design and Construction
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 is a forward draw crossbow that looks very similar to TenPoint’s Stealth NXT, which is of course also built with Narrow Crossbow Technology (NXT).
The bow assembly of the NXT 400 consists of an aluminum riser, TenPoint’s TRI-LOCK limb pocket system, and two 200 pound durable DUAL FLEX limbs powered by a maximum rotation cam system with high-quality XR6-Cams.
The Vector-Quad cable system utilizes four cables instead of the traditional two for increased strength and stability, this reduces cam lean and cable stretch and enhances downrange accuracy.
The NXT 400 features a bullpup (FSB) stock, which is made from PolyOne OnForce. These long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene composites provide a high strength-to-weight ratio. The stock is built with optimal comb-height and length-of-pull.
Sound and Vibration
TenPoint made sure that the NXT 400 is as silent as possible. They installed a string stop system on the crossbow into the end of the barrel. The flight rail is fitted with a string stop system and the CNC-machined aluminum barrel also helps to reduce noise and vibration.
TenPoint decided to accompany the Wicked Ridge NXT 400 with a 3x Pro-View scope. This lightweight aluminum scope is 8.5-inch long and features fully-coated 3x optics. The scope has 3 crosshairs and four dots that are calibrated for 20-, 30-, 40-, and 50-yards. The fourth dot is free-standing, just below the 40-yard crosshair.
You can use this scope with black dots (in a non-illuminated state) or you can turn the illumination on – and the dots illuminate in either a red or green color, with varying degrees of intensity. Just remember to turn the light OFF each time you use it.
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 is built with TenPoint’s 3.5-pound T5 trigger assembly housed in a lightweight machined aluminum trigger box. The auto-engaging trigger features a smooth pull with a crisp, consistent break. The trigger system gives more control over the trigger resulting in better arrow groupings.
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 comes with all the safety features you would want a crossbow to have. The T5 trigger assembly has a dry fire inhibitor, which prevents the crossbow from dry-firing if an arrow is not loaded properly.
The T5 trigger system also has an auto-engaging safety mechanism. It automatically places the trigger mechanism in the “SAFE” position after the string is cocked.
The Weaver-style dovetail is fitted with a nylon-filament arrow retention brush that improves arrow grip and alignment.
The flight deck has safety wings that prevent your hand or fingers from entering the release path of the bowstring. They also helo to reduce noise and vibration.
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 comes with a built-in ACUdraw cocking mechanism that is fully integrated into the stock. This cocking system is one of the safest and user-friendly cocking systems on the market. The cocking mechanism reduces draw weight to 5 pounds when operated manually and draws the bow accurately every time. It can effortlessly be cocked by anyone and all ages.
Arrows and Quiver
TenPoint’s Pro Elite 400 crossbow arrows are made of carbon and fletched slightly offset with 3.5-inch Bohning X Vanes. They are 20 inches long and weigh 400-grain. Pro Elite 400 arrows are fitted with an aluminum insert, feature 3.5-inch Bohning X Vanes, and come with TenPoint’s Alpha-Nock.
The shafts have a straightness to within 0.003-inches and are sorted for weight tolerance to within 2-grains per dozen.
The 3-Arrow Instant Detach Quiver is lightweight and durable. The quiver holds a total of 3 arrows.
Speed and Accuracy
The Wicked Ridge NXT 400 shoots Pro Elite 400 carbon arrows at 400 feet-per-second with 142 FP KE. That’s a lot of power for such a compact crossbow.
We range tested the Wicked Ridge XRT 400 with two different arrows; the Pro Elite 400 Carbon Arrows (400-grains) and Wicked Ridge XX75 Aluminum Arrow (435-grains).
With the Pro Elite 400 arrows we measured a top speed of 401.2 feet-per-second, 389 fps being the average.
With the Wicked Ridge XX75 arrows, we measured a top speed of 382.4 feet-per-second, 373.2 being the average.
The Wicked Ridge XRT 400 is exceptionally accurate. Accurate enough to shoot a 3-inch (or less) group at -70 yards. I shot three groups of three arrows each with the last three being dead center in the bullseye. I used different bulls’ eye’s to avoid damaging arrows. The 20, 40, and 50 yard dots of the 3x Pro View Scope were dead on.
Even for beginners, the NXT 400 crossbow is easy to assemble and disassemble. It features a 1-bolt assembly design, which means you only need one bolt to mount the riser to the stock.
- VECTOR QUAD CABLE TECHNOLOGY: Eliminates cam lean - ensuring straight arrow flight and producing match-grade down-range accuracy
- PRO-VIEW SCOPE: Featuring multi-coated glass for optimal light gathering, this scope includes lighted aiming points for precision accuracy
- T5 TRIGGER: Delivers a smooth, crisp 3.5 pound trigger pull for increased accuracy
- ACUDRAW COCKING DEVICE: Built-in cocking device draws your crossbow accurately with only 5-pounds of effort
- ULTRA-NARROW- 6-inch width while still producing 400 fps and weighing 7.4 pounds
Arrows & Broadheads
We recommend the Pro Elite 400 Carbon Arrows. With these arrows, you’ll reach the advertised top speed of the Wicked Ridge NXT 400.
If you prefer aluminum arrows then I’d recommend the Wicked Ridge XX75 arrows. They are also 20 inches long and are fletched slightly offset.
We recommend TenPoint’s EVO-X CenterPunch broadheads. This 2-blade broadhead weighs a total of 100 grain and creates a massive cut of 1.875 inches. TenPoint doesn’t offer any replacement blades for them.
The Rage Crossbow X is another fine option. They’re cheaper than the EVO-X CenterPunch Broadheads. Rage offers replacement blades. Rage Crossbow X broadheads are available in either 100 grain or 200 grain weight and feature a 2-inch cutting diameter.
Storage and Transportation
There is no crossbow case included in the package. If you want a crossbow case that fits the Wicked Ridge NXT 400 then I’d recommend the Wicked Ridge soft crossbow case.
This lightweight case is made from nylon and polyester. It fits the NXT 400 nicely and it has an exterior zippered pocket for storage for the quiver, arrows, broadheads, etc.
There no crossbow sling included in the package. If you want a crossbow sling to accompany the Wicked Ridge NXT 400 to comfortably carry the crossbow then I’d recommend buying a Wicked Ridge Neoprene crossbow sling.
This crossbow sling has a non-slip design and features an extra-strong 1.25-inch shoulder strap and a thumb loop for added shoulder security. It comes with custom swivels and a heavy-duty adjustable strap.
Our Rating of the Wicked Ridge NXT 400
The NXT 400 is the narrowest crossbow from TenPoint’s Wicked Ridge line. This ultra-narrow crossbow offers high maneuverability and delivers speeds at 400 feet-per-second.
The NXT 400 is also deadly accurate. It is in fact the most accurate Wicked Ridge crossbow TenPoint ever designed, having match-grade downrange accuracy.
The crossbow is also easy and safe to cock with ACUdraw and features a one bolt assembly design.
- Ultra-narrow 6″ when cocked
- Easy to handle and highly maneuverable
- 400 feet-per-second with same-hole down-range accuracy
- Arrows in the package reach the advertised speed rating
- Durable construction
- There is no crossbow case and no crossbow sling included in the package


Aktun Chen Natural Park, we are located in the heart of the Riviera Maya just 20 km North of Tulum ruins. For the most part, it is a 400 acre rainforest preserved in its primeval virginity, with no traces of human interference. We use less than 10% of the extension trying to emphasize the importance of protecting endangered species of Yucatan flora and fauna. In our park, you can still find such animals as the whitetail deer, spider monkey and lowland paca. We hope our ecological initiative will help increase reproduction of rare species in the region.

Fancy Schmancy Jello Shots
We had a little party on New Years Eve. I made some treats that I will be sharing with you this week but these were by far the coolest.
Jello shots are always fun at a party, but those flimsy Dixie cups can be such an eye sore. Try this instead!
(One orange makes 4 shots so buy accordingly) We made about 50 shots with two boxes of jello. Cut the orange in half and scoop out the insides. Then make your jello and vodka mix. 1 packet of jello, any flavor, gets 1 cup of water and 1 cup of vodka. (Follow the instructions on the jello box. They call for two cups of water and use your liquor of choice instead for one cup) Fill your orange halves with the mixture and then place them in the fridge until they are very firm. When they are ready carefully cut the halves into quarters and voila!
We used cherry because we already had it in the pantry but think of all the delicious and pretty combination’s you can come up with. Imagine lime peels with lemon and tequila jello! Or lemon peels with pink lemonade and vodka jello!
Check out more interesting jello shot recipes here (these kids really put some effort in this).

Life&Style writer Polly Watton reflects on how crochet is making a comeback – from the health benefits to how you can utilise it to disrupt fast fashion
When visiting my friend at Uni of Sheffield last month, I did not quite expect to be sitting outside in the sun crocheting for two days – but it was the most relaxing two days I have had in a while. I had bought my crochet project to do on the bus up to Sheffield, without any knowledge that she had also gotten into the relaxing and sustainable hobby of crocheting. So, after we had gotten over the joy of the fact that we were both crocheting jumpers, we sat together for many hours in the sun, double crochet stitching and enjoying nature.
Crocheting is becoming increasingly popular amongst young people, coming at a time of an arguable ‘craft renaissance.’ TikTok creator @bumblingbaggins stated in her video, ‘Just a reminder that all ‘old lady crafts’ were once lifetime crafts until they stopped teaching us.’ She further explained in the caption, ‘it’s only an old lady craft now because marketing taught them to value store bought over homemade and they stopped sharing skills that have been passed for generations. Now we have to pick them back up the hard way.’ As this creator recognises, young people are picking up skills that their parents and grandparents learnt by default as young children. Crocheting is the skill that I have seen most commonly, but knitting and embroidering are also making a comeback.
I got into crochet a few months back, and it has been one of my favourite hobbies that I have learnt. Although at first, it is certainly frustrating to get the hang of – once you get into the flow it is actually quite relaxing. Not only does crocheting reduce cortisol levels and lowers blood pressure, which in turn reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, but it actually also reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s by 30 to 50 percent, by building and strengthening neural pathways in the brain. Health benefits aside, crocheting is extremely rewarding.
While fast fashion consumption becomes more and more worrying, seeing young people designing and making their own garments is inspiring and optimistic. Cheap crochet pieces from fast fashion stores are particularly worrying, as crochet cannot be made by a machine and requires someone to hand make it; this means if it is sold cheaply, then the worker would get paid a small amount in comparison to their meticulous attention to detail and long hours spent on the item. So, making your own crochet items is not only a beneficial past-time and rewarding, but it is an extremely sustainable option.
Although fast fashion can sometimes be temptingly cheap, it definitely works out cheaper to crochet some staple pieces. You can splash out on more expensive wool; however, I have found wool from places like ‘The Works’ and other independent stores in and around Birmingham to be just fine, working out at around £2-£3 a ball. Considering a jumper takes around 3 balls of wool to make, it would end up costing around £10. And crochet pieces do not have to be boring either; I am currently making a lilac tote bag and a green flower jumper, but the possibilities are endless, and you can get as creative as you want. Some popular TikTok creators who have impressed me are @mrsmoonheaven for quick projects, and @henripurnell and @studio.lieselottie for more long-term projects.
If you decide to take up crochet, and perhaps become a master at it – you can also consider selling your garments. With the cost-of-living crisis getting increasingly worse, not only does making your own crochet clothes save money, but it can also make money. There is a reason that crocheting and other similar crafts have been an integral part of people’s lives for centuries. So, if you have some free time, why not get started?

Uplands Station will be a new station located east of Uplands Drive adjacent to the EY Centre. The station will have one fare paid entrance serving the EY Centre and future development north of the alignment. The plaza and site will be designed to accommodate EY Centre event patrons. The access road will be realigned directly in front of the EY Centre and the existing parking will be reconfigured to allow for direct sightlines and access to the station from the EY Centre entrance.
Elevated station, with two platforms, that will permit trains operating on the Airport Link to pass one another between South Keys and the Airport. Construction here is advancing very well and progress is very constant and impressive.
Concrete pouring and formation continue to take place at Uplands. The elevated track alignment is getting closer to completion and potentially ready for track installation once concrete pouring will be done for the station frame. Fencing is being installed alongside the future trackway. The rail-over-road overpass at Upland and Airport Parkway are practically complete with their approaches being completed and smoothed down.

It's easy to picture the Puddle of Mudd of a decade ago. Frontman Wes Scantlin's Cobainesque hair flowed out of a backward-fitted baseball cap, the guys were signed to Fred Durst's Flawless Records, and their breakthrough album, Come Clean, birthed four songs that got massive play locally on 93 Rock and PlayStations alike. Scantlin's locks are still boss, but a lot has changed since then.
Amid many lineup changes and friction with Durst, the group broke free from Flawless officially this year for the release of the appropriately and confusingly titled covers album, Re:(disc)overed. Now before any grunge-by-numbers considerations come out, know that this is a surprisingly fun record. Far from nü-metal versions of the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Elton John, these recordings make Puddle of Mudd sound like the best bar band in the world.
Now, you may ask yourself: Self, why would I want to hear that? First, there's no annoying Auto-Tune, no drum machines, and no weird experimental key signatures. They took their favorite songs and played them note for note — damned near perfectly. Lead guitarist and cool-ass dude Paul Phillips took the words right out of our mouths by saying, "It's a '70s rock album recorded with modern gear.
"We took about six months off, we got ready to start touring, and didn't have anything written," he continues. "One thing led to another, and we compiled 30 covers. Thirty became 15, and 15 became the 11 for the album."
To catch the vibe of these classic songs, they convened at Stone Temple Pilots' drummer Eric Kretz's Los Angeles studio/loft. Instead of stacking the guitars to create that chunky, muddy sound our ears were used to for the past 20 years, they went for old-school stereo separation. Plus, Joe Walsh's piano player, Bill Appleberry, played on a few cuts.
The songs that didn't make the cut were "Cocaine" by Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker's version of "With a Little Help From My Friends," "Run to You" by Bryan Adams, and Cheap Trick's "Surrender." Phillips adds, "Sometimes the ones you don't expect end up being the gems and the ones you think are a no-brainer end up sucking."
A lot of the ones that made the record were a bit of a challenge. The guitarist admits they had some heavy shoes to fill, especially for Scantlin, on their high-voltage cover of AC/DC's "TNT." "[Wes] was miserable the whole time," he says. "On our records, we tune down a half step. On this record, I wanted to keep them true to how they were originally recorded." Hitting Bon Scott's stratospheric notes without sounding like a cartoon imitation of him has got to be a hard trick to do. Scantlin pulled it off, but not without cursing the whole time.
Give Puddle of Mudd a big chest bump for not doing any ironic covers on this collection. No one needs to hear a jacked-up version of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" or Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." (We're talking to you, Alien Ant Farm.) "A lot of bands go and do a cheesy song and make it rock so they have a hit pop song on the radio," Phillips says. "We wanted to tackle bands we were fans of or [that] meant something to us."
Admittedly, Puddle of Mudd faced past criticisms pegging the group as a Xerox of a carbon copy of a Nirvana bootleg. Re:(disc)overed, however, is a refreshing stretch out of their comfort zone and captures strictly well-loved songs and five bros having a rocking good time.
"It was more of a challenge to do them correctly than to go in and do the 'Puddle' thing on them," he says. "I don't wanna do that to the Stones; I don't wanna do that to Zeppelin. We can't hold a candle to those guys; they've already written the perfect song."
Still, it begged the question why they didn't tackle their heroes, Nirvana, on this album. "We've done 'Breed' live before, and that's what people might expect from us," Phillips says. "But they're still being played on modern rock radio. It would be, like, here's Nirvana with 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' followed by Puddle of Mudd doing 'Come as You Are.' I mean, come on, no way!"
It can't be said enough, but this is a highly likable Puddle of Mudd record. Don't let your cool-as-heck friends tell you otherwise. As Phillips says, "They're great songs already, so there's not much room to improve."

Leaders are commissioned to see people they lead reach their full potential. This means that the greatest compliment we can ever have is when the people we are leading become greater than us.
If we believe that we are leading because we are the most qualified, then we will subconsciously work to undermine other people’s advancements.
In order to lead, one first needs to serve.

Powerless people are revealed by powerless language i.e. I can’t. The driving force behind such people is anxiety where they react to whatever is taking place around them. Powerless people approach a relationship as a consumer. They look for other people who have resources of happiness and joy to share with them. This person will consume whatever another person will offer. When presented with challenges they shift blame and do not take responsibility.
A strong leader / powerful person displays the following qualities:
- Takes responsibility for their life and choices.
- They choose who they want to be with, what they are going to pursue in life and how they will achieve it.
A strong leader does not dominate or control others but does the exact opposite.
A strong leader does not try to get people to respect them but rather creates a respectful environment by showing respect. They deliberately set a standard for how they expect to be treated by the way they treat others.
As they consistently act in a honourable way to others it becomes clear that the only people who can get close to them are those who demonstrate the same qualities.
A strong leader can be who they say they are on a consistent basis and because they know how to be themselves, they invite those around them to be themselves creating a safe place free from condemnation.
In closing, choosing to walk in honour ( respecting, valuing and loving others ) is the most powerful choice you could ever make and is more rewarding than you could ever imagine !
