||Mount Tabor Park Reservoirs Historic District
The reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park were nominated and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in January, 2004. Volunteers of the Friends of the Reservoirs with assistance from other members of the public, prepared the nominations not only for the three Mount Tabor Park reservoirs but also the two located in Washington Park. The names of the nominations are: Mount Tabor Park Reservoirs Historic District and the Washington Park Reservoirs Historic District. The National Register of Historic Places is administered by the National Park Service. They may be reached at: http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/index.htm
In lieu of a local process, the City of Portland uses a listing in the National Register of Historic Places to identify those resources eligible for a Type III land use review, the most in-depth review, when certain changes are being considered. A Type III review requires a public hearing and the Neighborhood Association must be contacted. For more information on the City of Portland's Historic Design Review, see the Bureau of Developmental Services (BDS) at:
http://www.portlandonline.com/bds/index.cfm?a=74223&c=37424. Properties on the National Register should be marked with a dot "." on zoning maps, although the historic reservoir districts have not been marked to date.
Historical Significance of the Reservoirs
Portland's reservoirs were created to be more than utilities and were constructed as park amenities in both Mount Tabor Park and Washington Park (formerly City Park). Both sites were chosen for the reservoirs due to their geographical significance with elevations suitable for supplying gravity fed water to the City. Although the section of City Park where the reservoirs reside predated the construction of the Washington Park reservoirs, Mount Tabor Park's development was strongly influenced by the siting of the reservoirs.
The south and demolished reservoir in Mount Tabor Park, along with the two in Washington Park, were constructed in 1894 as receptacles for Bull Run watershed mountain drinking water. The Bull Run area was one of the first federally protected regions in the country. This water was delivered solely by gravity to the reservoirs that were designed to also work with gravity. The creation of this first municipal service heralded Portland's place as a major West Coast city and allowed for rapid growth to occur. The system was modeled after earlier systems in Boston and New York.
Portland's visionary engineers designed lovely reservoirs and gatehouses complete with finely crafted wrought iron fencing and electric light features (with electricity to be delivered via hydroelectric generated by the drop between reservoirs) and unique romantic Romanesque concrete gatehouses. Concrete construction was rare in that time. The oldest, oval gatehouses bear the patent of a famous concrete craftsman and are examples of some of the earliest reinforced concrete buildings in the nation. They are also graced with a pain-staking, hand-embellished finish to give them the appearance of natural, rough hewn rock. The deep basins provide the parks with grand vista areas, and give Mount Tabor Park views now preserved in the City's Scenic Resource Protection Plan. Water sounds are provided at the inlets without the use of electricity. The reservoirs achieved the goal of the City Beautiful movement's precepts of their era: to embody beauty with utility, providing grand interfaces between high quality mountain water with the citizens it served. The reservoirs, still provide some of the best water in the nation and the quality of their craftsmanship and design stand as a testimony to the potential of civic vision coupled with good engineering.
Out of over 5,000 sites reviewed in the last inventory (1980's) of the City's historic resources, the reservoirs at both Mount Tabor and Washington Park comprised 6 of the 52 resources given a Rank One, the highest possible rating. Resources with this ranking were expected to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places but the City did not follow through on the National Register process. In the 1990's, one of the reservoirs at S.E. 60th and Division was demolished and sold to a private enterprise. As a mitigation, the gatehouse was placed on the National Register and was sold separately as a private residence.
The Future of the Reservoirs
Community objection to the Reservoir Replacement Project (2002), including a City appointed review panel, derailed a large project that would have had not only an adverse effect on the reservoirs but on a large portion of Mount Tabor Park, including a new access road for heavy construction machinery. The Reservoir Replacement Project, with cost estimates nearing $100 million, would have demolished the reservoirs at Mount Tabor. Plans called for replacing them with giant tanks buried 2-3 feet under ground, and would have placed synthetic floating covers on the Washington Park reservoirs until their eventual demolition. The project contract with the engineering firm was terminated by City Council in July, 2004.
The chief costs of the reservoirs, at this time, is the fee paid by the Water Bureau to the Bureau of Environmental Services (sewage treatment) for dumping the water from the reservoirs when they are cleaned. This seems an unsustainable way to dispose of this water but is apparently required due to the residual chlorine compounds that may not flow directly into the river. The reservoirs, like many other components of the water system, are in need of maintenance that has been long deferred. Because the reservoirs are listed in the National Register of Historic Places and are public resources, some maintenance may be eligible for grant money.
Despite the fact that the reservoirs have been classified in good condition by recent evaluations, as well as providing low cost water storage and delivery via gravity, the City would like to move forward on demolition and replacement of the reservoirs. This would dovetail into other construction projects at various sites, such as a large 5-acre membrane filtration plant, and an U.V. radiation treatment facility. Costs would exceed $300 million significantly increasing water rates and impart debt to the City. Because of Portland's protected water shed, the City's water meets or exceeds all regulatory parameters without these projects.
The community remains on alert over high-priced, controversial changes to Portland's water system. If new regulations for water quality are promulgated, Portland can join in the national conversation to choose protection of source water over expensive engineering projects based on, what could appear to be, industry-led research.

Pakistani skipper Babar Azam achieves yet another milestone in his career
LAHORE – Skipper Babar Azam on Saturday achieved another milestone as he became the highest T20I scorer from Pakistan, surpassing Mohammad Hafeez who earlier held the title with 2,514 runs from 108 innings.
The 27-year-old star batter has scored 2515 runs from just 64 innings. He bagged the feat while playing against Bangladesh in second T20I match when he could only score 1 run that was enough to make him highest scorer from Pakistan.
Pakistan beat Bangladesh by eight wickets to clinch the three-match T20I series in Dhaka.
The No 1 T20I batter achieved the milestone with an average of 47.43 and a strike rate of 129.78. He has smashed one century and 24 half-centuries.
Babar Azam has scored 834 runs in 22 innings in the running calendar year.

We’re coming to the end of what has been a very exciting set of elections – with the Police and Commissioner results wrapping up today.
This is the third election for PCC positions, which were created in 2012 after the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition promised to “make the police more accountable through oversight by a directly elected individual, who will be subject to strict checks and balances by locally elected representatives.”
The BBC reports that the salaries of PCCs are between £70,000 and £85,000, with those looking after the Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and West Midlands receiving £100,000 – so it’s clearly quite an attractive position (although there has been some debate about how much use the PCCs have been in recent years).
Without further ado, here are some of the results so far – with some conclusions at the bottom.
Avon and Somerset
- Mark Shelford, the Conservative candidate and deputy leader of Bath and North East Somerset Council, was elected as the region’s police and crime commissioner.
- He received 34.4 per cent of first preference votes, and was elected after second preference votes were counted.
- In total he secured 161,319 first and second preference votes. Kerry Barker, the Labour candidate, secured 146,293.
- Turnout was 30.7 per cent – up from 26 per cent in 2016.
- He has taken over from Sue Mountstevens, an Independent politician who served from 2012 before standing down.
- A Green Party candidate came third.
- John Dwyer, the Conservative candidate, regained this seat (five years after losing the role).
- Second preference votes helped him beat David Keane, the incumbent Labour PCC.
- Dwyer received 111,962 votes compared to Keane’s 99,463.
- Turnout was up across Cheshire at 27 per cent in total compared to 23.85 per cent as the last PCC elections in 2016.
- Angelique Foster, the Conservative candidate, gained 149,749 votes – compared to 117,564 for Hardyal Singh Dhindsa of Labour.
- The turnout for the election was 35.74 per cent. In 2016 it was 23.93 per cent – when Dhindsa took over from Alan Charles, a Labour PCC.
Devon & Cornwall
- Counting resumed at 9.30am – Alison Hernandez, the incumbent Conservative candidate, is being challenged for the seat.
- Last time she won with 51.1 per cent of the vote in the second round compared to the Labour candidate’s 48.9 per cent, so this could be a tough competition.
Updates from the count for Devon and Cornwall's PCC election count can be found here. Will Alison Hernandez remain in charge or will a new PCC be elected?

- David Sidwick, the Conservative candidate, was elected with 70,353 votes compared to independent candidate Dan Hardy (with 43,427 votes).
- Sidwick takes over from Martyn Underhill, who served for nine years as an independent before standing down.
- The Labour and Co-operative Party, Liberal Democrats and Green Party were eliminated after the first round of voting.
- The turnout was 25.52 per cent.

- The turnout was 31.8 per cent.
- The position has been held by Clive Grunshaw of Labour since it was created in 2012.
- He secured 44 per cent of the vote to the then Conservative candidate’s 23 per cent in 2016’s last election.

- Marc Jones, the Convervative candidate, was re-elected. He won the first round of counting with 102,813 votes from a 31 per cent turnout.
- Rosanne Kirk of Labour came second with 34,310 votes.
- Emily Spurrell, the Labour candidate, was elected as the commissioner with a landslide 178,875 (57 per cent) of the votes. The Conservative candidate took 23 per cent of the votes.
- Jane Kennedy, the area’s previous PCC, left the Labour Party after saying it had failed to deal with anti-Semitism.
- Stephen Mold, the Conservative candidate, is awaiting to see if he’s been re-elected after becoming the commissioner in 2016.
- Philip Allott, the Conservative candidate, has won with 83,737 first and second preference votes, over 30,000 more than Alison Hume, his rival from Labour.
- The turnout was the highest since the PCC post was created in 2012.
- He will take over from Julia Mulligan, a Conservative, who decided to step down from the role at the end of her term.
- Alun Michael of Welsh Labour has been re-elected for the third time.
- He has held the post since its inception in 2012.
- Before that he was the Labour MP for Cardiff South and Penarth for 25 years from 1987.

- Tracey Brabin, the Labour MP for Batley and Spen, has been elected as the first West Yorkshire mayor.
- The role will include PCC powers.
The structure of the West Yorkshire mayoralty was tweaked earlier this year to include police and crime commissioner roles. Therefore Brabin can’t remain an MP.
Brabin confirmed she will stand down from parliament immediately if she wins the mayoralty.https://t.co/OxlIDe83G9

- In one of the most dramatic turn of events, Jonathan Seed, who was standing for the Conservative PPC, has been withdrawn as a candidate on the eve of counting – after it was discovered that he had a 30-year-old conviction for drink driving.
- Counting resumes today, but there will need to be another election if Seed comes first.
- Seed said he had declared the offence to his party and was “bitterly disappointed” to have withdrawn.
Some quick thoughts about the results:
- The Conservatives have done well in the PCC elections (19 out of 27 PCCs elected nationally are Tory).
- The turnout for the elections has gone up in many areas, but you could put this down to the fact that many elections are taking place (if someone is voting for a new mayor, they may as well tick off the form for their PCC too – rather than being particularly interested in the PCC role).
- Furthermore, the turnout for PCC votes only ever seems around 20-30 per cent territory.
- It’s interesting to note the number of PCCs who are standing down. Why is this the case? And will these current PCCS last any longer? (Matthews, the winner in Leicestershire, said he felt tired after the campaign was extended a year by Covid.)
- Quite a few of the candidates got through on second preference votes – hardly the biggest electoral compliment.
- Alun Michael has lasted perhaps the longest – so it’s worth pondering the difference between how long he’s stayed in the role compared to the PCCs standing down in England.

The bump from £529 to £539 on the 5900X literally happened in the last hour though, it's clearly an increase in the last minute. Although I wouldn't be completely surprised if it changed again to £549 at 2pm tomorrow.

Cambridge City host Dunstable Town tomorrow as the Lilywhites go looking for their first home league win since 10 November.
Despite a lack of 3 points at home, the indications are that City are beginning to turn the long awaited corner following a bad run of results during November and December. Last week, City secured a comfortable 4-0 win at Yaxley which came off the back of a 0-0 draw against Barton Rovers in their last home match a fortnight ago.
Tomorrow, City will be without Lewis Whitehead who this week joined Newmarket Town on dual registration. Meanwhile, Josh Oyinsan will be looking to carry on from where he left off last week. The tall striker got a hat-trick at Yaxley and will be looking to continue his goal scoring touch. Joel Gyasi looks set to make his home debut after signing from Bedford Town last week.
The visitors arrive two places above the relegation zone, but seven points clear. Despite their position, they will be full of confidence after inflicting defeat on high flying Bromsgrove Sporting last weekend. A 3-2 win certainly sent shock waves through the division and opened the title race.
DUNSTABLE TOWN: Last six
H BROMSGROVE SPORTING W 3-2
A BERKAMSTED L 3-0
H SUTTON COLDFIELD TOWN L 1-0
A WELWYN GARDEN CITY W 1-0
H NORTH LEIGH W 4-0
A AFC DUNSTABLE L 4-2
"It was good to finally get a win last weekend. We played some really good stuff and dominated the game from start to finish. Dunstable Town will be another test for us. They have some good players and come off the back of an excellent win last week. I will be happy with a point so I am going for a 1-1 draw".
"I was really impressed last week at Yaxley. Our spirits should be lifted and we should be full of confidence. Josh is firing at the moment for us up front and I think the boys will be up for it, so I am going for a 2-0 win"
"We played some really good football last week. Admittedly, the pitch suited us and when we play on a decent surface we look really good. If the pitch is good for Saturday, then I predict we will continue with our excellent passing game so I am going for a 2-0 City win".
The match tomorrow is being sponsored by Coversure Insurance and guests of the Football in the Community programme are Swavesey Spartans Under 14ís Girls.
Kick-off at Bridge Road tomorrow is at 3:00pm.

When it comes to drawing and sketching, you need the right tools. If you are an artist, chances are that you have tried a few different types of pencils for your craft. The majority of people begin where anyone would, by using an everyday pencil.
While no rule says that you can’t use a typical #2 pencil, for true artists, there are better options. The kind of pencil that you use can drastically influence how you end up working. It is for this reason that we brought together a quick breakdown of the different types of drawing pencils.
When it comes to drawing, everyone is different. What one person likes, another person might hate. It is important to keep this in mind as you explore this craft. You might find that a different kind of pencil can drastically improve your overall process. Our advice is to experiment with the different types of drawing pencils until you find your favorite. You might even learn that you like different options for different projects!
Graphite Drawing Pencils
—Graphite drawing pencils are easily the most common type of drawing pencil used. These pencils come in a wide range of options, with each variation being assigned a different grade. People tend to like these pencils because they are not only great to use, but they vary enough to allow for different art styles. This makes it easier for people to find something that works for them. In a sense, they are one of the more traditional types of pencils.
As a source, graphite is perfect for drawing and sketching. It is the neutral color that you would expect, and you can easily choose an option that is right for you. Many artists find that this is their go-to pencil option across the board.
In addition to that, many artists go with Prismacolor’s graphite pencils because they are highly-rated and you can easily get them on Amazon.
When it comes to creating a more basic project, this is the exact kind of tool that you will want. However, graphite pencils can also be used in a variety of ways that make it easy for you to use it for any kind of project. Some people find that they exclusively rely on this kind of pencil for their work.
A graphite pencil will be assigned a grade, and this is how you will determine how it can be used. It comes in several variations. First, it will be assigned a letter. H pencils are known for their resistance when it comes to drawing. Instead of putting down a lot of graphite, they are more reserved. B pencils are known for countering this.
They leave more graphite on the page as you draw. There is also an F option for a fine point. You will find that this pencil option has more precision. There is also a number applied to each grade. The number indicates how much will be left on the page for that kind of pencil. The larger the number is, the less it will leave behind.
Charcoal Drawing Pencils
—When it comes to types of pencils, charcoal pencils are a bit divisive for the community. They tend to be the kind of tool that people either love or hate. While other types of pencils are more about preference, charcoal pencils are about the craft. Drawing with a charcoal pencil is simply a completely different artistic process. Some people love it and others would rather draw with a Crayola crayon instead. It is a matter of how the artist likes to work.
The primary reason that charcoal drawing pencils get such a bad reputation is because they can be messy. While they are more controlled than other charcoal options, they can still make quite a mess. The majority of artists who work with these pencils find that the charcoal has a way of sticking around.
It is much easier to smear or smudge these types of pencils than other tools. For this reason, some people simply can’t stand working with charcoal pencils. They don’t like controlling it on the page or having it all over them after the fact.
The real area where charcoal pencils shine is drawing under the right hand. For those who know how to use charcoal pencils effectively, absolute masterpieces can be made. If you are looking for a chance to create something truly amazing, charcoal pencils can get you there.
They allow you to more effectively manipulate your work as you go. These types of pencils are great for helping you to smudge your way to greatness. For those who commit, there is simply nothing better.
Colored Drawing Pencils
—The funny thing about colored pencils for drawing is the fact that so many people forget them. To the general public, colored pencils are usually affiliated with coloring books. However, these are tools that are perfect in the hands of the right artist. While you might not want to make every single thing you draw a special color, these are still tools and not toys. The right kind pencil in the right hand can work wonders when it comes to making great art.
Colored pencils are one of the best types of pencils for drawing because they allow you to add so much more to an image. You can enjoy working on a variety of projects with almost no limit with this kind of tool. Being able to manipulate color simply allows you to do so much more with a work of art.
While you can make amazing works of art using an ordinary pencil, colored pencils breathe life into an image. This is why the people who lean on these consistently love them so much.
The real power of colored pencils is that it adds a certain degree of depth to any image. Whether you use two colors or ten, your image is going to pop. A proper set of colored pencils is an invaluable asset in the hands of a good artist. This makes it easy for you to create compelling works of art that people will love to look at.
As a bonus, you can change how you interact with your art by how hard you push. Pressure variation works wonders when it comes to managing the color on the page. If you’re looking to get some drawing tools to help bring some more life into your drawings then Crayola offers a great set of color pencils on Amazon.
Carbon Drawing Pencils
—If you are looking for a proper middle ground between charcoal and graphite pencils, look no further. Most people are not even aware that carbon drawing pencils are a real thing. If you were to ask the majority of people what to use a carbon pencil for, they would likely assume something technical.
However, these tools are amazing when it comes to drawing and sketching. In truth, these are some of the best tools that are commonly overlooked by artists. These types of pencils are not well known, so we want to encourage you to give them a shot.
Carbon drawing pencils are a perfect balance between the perks of graphite and charcoal pencils. The biggest selling point for them is that these types of drawing pencils tend to be darker. They allow you to create darker strokes on the page, which can be used to make some truly amazing effects.
In addition to providing more color, these pencils are also very smooth. You will love how they can glide across the page almost as much as you will love what you can make with them.
When shopping for carbon pencils, you will want to do your research. Companies tend to mix other elements into carbon pencils, which can change your experience.
It is common for companies to add graphite or charcoal when it comes to making these pencils. While there is nothing wrong with that, understanding what is in the pencil is important. It can change the way that these types of drawing pencils work.
Mechanical Drawing Pencils
—Though this is not the most common approach for artists, plenty of artists do use mechanical pencils. Finding the right mechanical pencil can be a bit of a process, but when you find one that works for you, that’s it. Mechanical pencils come in a variety of options depending on your needs.
This can give you some control over your experience that other pencils might lack. Mechanical pencils come in various weights, grips, and types. This makes it easy for you to find a custom experience. However, finding the right lead option to avoid any snapping while drawing is important.
I love using mechanical pencils to draw or sketch. I can easily add different colored leads in the pencil to create different kinds of images.
—Some artists prefer to toe the line between mediums. For those who love drawing almost as much as they love painting, watercolor pencils provide an amazing middle ground. You can enjoy a complete drawing experience with the additional perks of experimenting with paint options as well.
These tools are not only incredibly easy to use, but they can be pretty addicting. You will be amazed by just how much fun you can have with them. More importantly, these offer a great way to help you try a variation on your existing skills.

Stylus Drawing Pencils
—In this day and age, drawing is getting a completely new face. Many artists are switching from pencils and paper to the use of digital platforms. With this sudden shift in interest, companies are clamoring to create digital pencils that can be used with the major digital drawing platforms available.
These tools are created in so many different ways, so finding one that suits your preferences is important. They can vary widely when it comes to price, so it can be best to start small and invest as you grow.
A digital drawing pencil can be judged in a lot of ways. You will want to consider the pressure sensitivity of the device, as well as its responsiveness to tilt. The technology in some of these devices, particularly ones like the Apple Pencil, is truly amazing. You can enjoy a completely responsive experience that perfectly mirrors a real pencil. As a bonus, they can be used for other digital mediums like painting and writing.
Every artist has their preferences regarding what they want. Depending on how you like to draw, what you like to draw, and your physical needs, your preference change. Finding the right types of pencils to get your art made is a careful process that involves experimenting.

Diagnostics of flarе plasma from X-ray and EUV observations: mechanisms of energy release and radiation
The estimates of the emission measure and temperature of coronal flare plasma derived from GOES, RHESSI, and SDO/AIA observations are compared. We found that the magnitude of plasma parameters can vary significantly (up to an order of magnitude) depending on the instrument, namely, a method of measurements and data processing. The advantages and disadvantages of these approaches are discussed. As a case study the November 9, 2013 flare was chosen. We found that electrons accelerated at a flaring loop’s top cannot maintain the observed hard X-ray fluxes at the loop footpoints. This might indicate that charged particles are additionally accelerated in the chromosphere.

text: Dengue trojan (DENV) may be the most significant individual arboviral pathogen and causes 400 mil infections in human beings every year. against DENV1 because it cross-reacts with DENV1, while 3H5 represents a nonspecific antibody for DENV1, enabling us to measure the impact of IgG cross-reactivity to vascular leakage in vivo. Vascular permeability was assessed using hematocrit beliefs obtained from bloodstream at the ultimate endpoint (Amount 2C). We discovered that mice pre-sensitized with 4G2 ahead of DENV1 an infection acquired higher hematocrit beliefs in comparison to those sensitized with control antibody, while 3H5 created no enhancing impact during DENV1 an infection (Amount 2C). We previously optimized a method for calculating vascular leakage because of DENV in the WT mouse model, regarding shot of Evan’s blue dye (EBD) 30 min ahead of euthanasia, accompanied by perfusion from the mouse vasculature with TAK-960 saline before tissues observation and harvest (St John et al., 2013b). This allowed the dimension from the EBD leakage in to the liver organ by identifying the OD-600 in the supernatants of homogenized liver organ tissues. Using this system as a second solution to assess vascular leakage quantitatively, we noticed that while DENV1 by itself elevated vascular leakage over control beliefs, the leakage was considerably enhanced in the current presence of antibody 4G2 (Amount 2D). Again, as opposed to the DENV1C4 cross-reactive antibody 4G2, DENV2-particular 3H5 acquired no influence on vascular leakage when implemented in front of you DENV1 problem (Amount 2D). These quantitative outcomes had been also backed aesthetically, as proven in Amount 2E, when mouse livers had been imaged when i.v. EBD perfusion and shot from the circulatory program with saline. DENV1 an infection by itself (without antibody pre-treatment) seems to boost vascular leakage in the liver organ tissues over control, in order that bruising continues to be on the liver organ even following the bloodstream has been removed in the vasculature (Amount 2E). This vascular leakage isn’t obvious over the livers of uninfected control pets (Amount 2E). On the other hand, the most aesthetically stunning vascular leakage happened in pets pre-treated with 4G2 ahead of DENV1 an infection (Amount 2E). These results support which the improved vascular leakage DENV induces in the current presence of antibodies would depend on antibody specificity towards the infecting DENV-serotype. The function of MCs in IgG-enhanced vascular leakage Having noticed which the DENV2-particular antibodies promote elevated MC degranulation and vascular leakage in contaminated WT mice, we wished to check out the contribution of MCs towards the elevated vascular pathology in the current presence of a DENV-specific antibody. To recognize the function of MCs, we likened vascular leakage between DENV-infected WT mice and MC-deficient mice (Sash) in the current presence of 3H5 antibody. As before, mice had been injected with 3H5 antibody 24 hr to an infection with DENV2 prior, and hematocrit amounts were assessed at 24 hr post-infection. Hematocrit evaluation backed MC-dependent antibody-enhanced vascular leakage since WT mice acquired significantly higher hematocrit beliefs during DENV2 an infection in the current presence of DENV2-particular TAK-960 antibodies, while MC-deficient Sash mice demonstrated no adjustments in hematocrit over baseline handles for either DENV2 treatment by itself or treatment with 3H5 and DENV2 (Amount 3A). These outcomes were also backed using the supplementary approach to quantitating vascular leakage into tissue by calculating EBD leakage into tissue Rabbit Polyclonal to CKI-epsilon. (Amount TAK-960 3A). While DENV2 induced elevated vascular leakage considerably, the DENV2-particular antibody 3H5 additional elevated vascular leakage in comparison to both baseline and DENV2 an infection alone (Amount 3A). We’ve reported that during DENV an infection in outrageous type previously, immunocompetent mice, vascular perfusion with saline was necessary to imagine EBD and plasma leakage into extremely vascularized tissues like the liver organ and kidney (St John et al., 2013b). Amazingly, when improving antibodies had been implemented 24 hr to an infection with DENV prior, the causing experimental final result was strong more than enough that we could actually observe overt leakage of EBD over the gut post-infection during necropsy. On the other hand, this overt upsurge in vascular leakage had not been obvious in Sash.

CRIA contends that well-informed state and non-state stakeholders can strengthen and accelerate implementation of regional and continental integration policies. Policy dialogues and sensitisation forums that foster inclusive and participatory discussions encourage proactive engagement. Towards this end, the Centre has established two interface platforms:
a) The Regional Integration Issues Forum (RIIF); and the
b) Integrate Africa Seminar Series on Trade and Continental Integration.
CRIA’s Integrate Africa Seminar Series on Trade and Continental Integration is a platform of conversational presentations by very experienced development practitioners and experts engaged in Africa’s trade and continental integration processes. The Seminar Series offers a platform for academics, policy makers and multi-sector stakeholders to critically engage in policy discussions on African trade; market integration; production integration; infrastructural integration; movement of people goods and services; gender, youth & trade, financial systems and monetary union; etc. The Seminar also provides the Centre an opportunity to explore areas for research, capacity building and/or advocacy to boost intra-African trade and to accelerate continental integration.


Blohm and Voss Bv P.207 Single-Seat, Single-Engine Fighter Proposal
The Blohm and Voss P.207 was to feature a four-cannon battery in the nose and a pusher-type propeller unit at the tail.
Authored By Staff Writer; Content ©www.MilitaryFactory.com
Blohm & Voss made its mark for World War 2 Germany as a large flying boat maker. However, its engineers were hard at work in selling the Luftwaffe on various cutting edge - if sometime unorthodox - designs. The P.207 was one of the submissions passed on to the Air Ministry for consideration and was developed against the concept of a single-seat, conventionally-powered fighter.
The P.207 was given a stout, deep fuselage with the single-seat cockpit aft of a rounded nosecone assembly and under a lightly-framed canopy. The fuselage (showcasing a trapezoidal appearance from the forward profile) was well-tapered at both ends with a cruciform-style tailplane used at rear. The nose assembly would house the four-cannon armament comprising 2 x 30mm MK 103 seated over 2 x 20mm MG 151/20 weapons. This was made possible by the rear placement of the propeller unit, arranged as a "pusher", positioned aft of the tailplanes. The engine itself was installed aft of the cockpit and a drive shaft used help to deliver power to the propeller. An air intake was set aft of the chin running under the cockpit floor. The wing mainplanes were installed low at midships and were straight in their general appearance with a slight rounding of the tips. The mainplanes were to exhibit some dihedral. A wheeled tricycle undercarriage completed the list of features and gave the P.207 a rather tall stance when ground-running.
Power was to come from either a Junkers Jumo 213 series engine of 1,800 horsepower or an Argus As 413 engine of possible 4,000 horsepower output. The As 413 was to be based on the earlier As 412 which was prototyped as a 24-cylinder H-block engine but the As 413 itself was never built. On the other hand, the Jumo 213 saw some 9,000 production units built during its run and powered such types as the Junkers Ju 188 fast reconnaissance platform and the class Focke-Wulf Fw 190 fighter (both detailed elsewhere on this site). It was developed from the successful Jumo 211 V-12 series which saw nearly 70,000 units made.
As no test subjects of the P.207 were completed, there are no specifications available. Its wingspan is estimated to be around 39.5 feet. Drawings indicate a seemingly adequate fighter save for the rear placement of the propeller unit competing with the ventral rudder fin. This would have posed an issue during take-off and landing actions. The raised dorsal spine behind the cockpit would also have limited views to the rear.
A revision of the core P.207 (P.207.02) design was the P.207.03. The single-seat, single-engine (pusher) arrangement remained but a bubble canopy was added and the tail planes reworked (the dorsal fin was deleted and the ventral appendage made larger). The wing mainplanes were now tapered toward the tips and the chin airscoop moved much further aft in the design. Wingspan was 32.6 feet with an overall length of 32 feet. Power was to come from a Daimler-Benz DB603G series engine of 2,000 horsepower. Proposed armament was 4 x 30mm MK 108 cannons.

What is the maximum size of an outbuilding without planning permission?
Outbuildings and garages to be single storey with maximum eaves height of 2.5 metres and maximum overall height of four metres with a dual pitched roof or three metres for any other roof..
What is the 4 year rule?
‘THE 4 YEAR RULE’ applies to building, engineering or other works which have taken place without the benefit of planning permission, and that have remained unchallenged by enforcement action for 4 years or more. … Therefore you may have a perfectly adequate building but no lawful use for it.
Can I build a shed against my fence?
Any shed must be built at least 2.5m away from the main house. … Butting your shed right against a garden fence doesn’t allow the shed room to ‘breathe’ and is an invitation for damp to set in. You also need all-round access for painting and any future repair. Don’t use a shed side as a replacement fence side.
Can I paint my fence on my neighbor’s side?
In general, you own the left side of your fence. So, if the right side is new, looking shabby and needs a thorough good paint or stain, then you should speak with your neighbour before you start. In most cases, the neighbour should agree just as long as it is not a drastic colour or stain!
How big can I build a shed UK?
Garden sheds and outbuildings must be one story, and eave heights cannot exceed 2.5 metres. Overall height cannot exceed 4 metres if a dual pitched roof is present or 3 metres with any other type of roof. If a garden shed will be situated within 2 metres of a dwelling house boundary, the maximum height is 2.5 metres.
How close can a shed be to a Neighbour’s fence?
As a result, experts recommend leaving at least 24 inches (2 feet) of space around the perimeter of your garden shed. With 2 feet to spare, it’ll be easy to make any changes or do anything with the shed in the future.
What happens if you build without planning permission?
If you build without planning permission, you may not be breaking any rules. However, if there is a planning breach, you may have to submit a retrospective application or even appeal against an enforcement notice.
What can you build in your garden without planning permission?
Buildings that can be erected without planning (subject to planning regs) are; non-habitable garden houses – max 25 sq meters (270 sq ft) and extensions to buildings not previously extended – max 40 square meters (430 sq ft). All bigger permanent dwellings need planning permission.
Can I attach a shed to my house?
When you build a storage shed, you need to make sure that the area that your home is located doesn’t have any kind of restrictions or regulations of any kind. You may need a building permit, especially if you’re thinking about attaching a shed to your home.
How high should a shed be off the ground?
It will be easier to paint if there is enough room to comfortably walk around it. The bottom of the shed should be at least 4 inches off the ground.
How big can a shed be without a permit UK?
If your shed is less than 2m from your property’s boundary, the whole building should not be more than 2.5m high. To avoid planning permission, sheds should be single storey with a maximum eaves height of 2.5m for flat roofs, 4m for dual pitched roofs or 3m in any other case.
Can I build a shed next to my Neighbours fence?
Garden sheds are “permitted development”, which means that there is no need to get a permit to build the structure. Hence, you can build a shed next to a neighbor’s fence, as long as there are no other rules broken. The best option is to contact the local authority and get your planning permission approved.
How big can a summer house be without planning permission?
You can build a summerhouse — referred to in permitted development legislation as an outbuilding — with a twin pitched roof up to four metres in height that’s no more than 2.5 metres to the eaves, or of 2.5 metres with a flat roof, without planning permission.
How close to the fence line can I build?
The side boundary setback (existing boundaries with adjoining properties only), except for a wall built to the boundary, is a minimum of: 1.5m for a wall up to 4.5m high. 2m for a wall up to 7.5m high. 2m plus 0.5m for every 3m (or part of 3m) over 7.5m height for a wall over 7.5m high.
Can I put a shed on the side of my house?
You must apply for householder planning permission to erect a garden building, greenhouse or shed if: the total area of ground covered will be greater than 50 per cent of the total land around the house. … it will be at the side of a house which is in a conservation area.
Can you sleep in a garden room?
To sleep in a shed or garden room, it must comply with Building Regulations. These control the quality of the building’s structure and ensure it is safe for sleeping in. The same rules apply to converting a garage or small brick building into an annexe. Seek the advice of your local planning authority before you begin.

In 2019 there were 105,000 hit-and-run accidents in the state. Troopers say, even if you are scared or not sure what you may have hit, it is imperative you always pull over instead of leaving the scene.
Lieutenant Greg Bueno with Florida Highway Patrol says Wednesday’s “Stay at the Scene” presentation is all about educating drivers on the penalties that come with leaving the scene of an incident without confirming it is ok to do so.
Bueno also stressed how important witnesses are in those accidents.
An example of that is when 21-year-old Austin Manke was killed on the Cape Coral Bridge, a tipster reported seeing a person checking out some damage on their car and called it in. That led to an arrest of the hit-and-run suspect.
We spoke with the father of one victim. Someone hit his son, Patrick Santiago, 37, as he was walking near Beau Drive and Hancock Bridge Parkway On Feb. 24, 2019. Instead of staying at the scene, that person took off and is still out on our streets.
Not a day goes by that Freddie Santiago doesn’t think about his son.
“I see him everywhere,” he said. “I see his gestures, he was my mini-me, and my family is devastated.”
All that’s left are the memories etched in his mind.
“Five minutes of time just for a phone call will possibly save a person’s life,” Santiago said.
“This problem is epidemic in our community to stop,” said FHP Trooper George Smyrnios.
Now, in an effort to stop this growing problem, FHP, LCSO and Crime Stoppers unveiled the “Stay at the Scene” program.
“They could’ve made the choice to stay on the scene, call 911, try to render help like a decent human being should do, but in every one of these cases, they left like cowards,” said Trish Routte with Crime Stoppers.
Like Rosalia Tejeda Diaz, who is accused of hitting and killing Kate Johnson and her dog, Diva, on McGregor Boulevard last month.
FHP says more than 3,000 of those 105,000 hit-and-runs in Florida were in Lee County—four of them deadly.
“Stay on scene and render aid, make a phone call, do something. Don’t run,” said Phish Ross with Lee County.
Don’t run; it can be the difference between life and death for the victim.
A person involved in a hit-and-run that leads to death gets a mandatory minimum of four years in prison.

This line-up of stories will help you discover the latest happenings around the tech world, today.
1. Facebook unveils audio push to rival clubhouse
Social media giant Facebook has unveiled its podcast offering and “live audio rooms” in a push to get people talking and take on the fast-growing audio-based app Clubhouse.
According to Facebook, with quotations from the Facebook app chief Fidji Simo, the company has seen revelations how audio alongside texts and video can increase social interaction.
The company made this comment in its recent blog post on the company website, describing the new experience as a digital magic.
The statement reads: “We think a lot of magic happens at the intersection of audio formats, as well as at the confluence of text, audio and video.”
Analysts have speculated that Facebook’s plan to weave audio offerings into the social network comes as it works to prevent losing users to Clubhouse.
2. Zoom to invest $100m fund in apps promoting its product
Zoom Video Communications Inc has announced setting aside a $100 million fund with the intention to invest in startup software companies that build apps using its technology.
Zoom, which become a household name during the pandemic as businesses and schools shifted to its platform, continues to grow its venture, rivaling platforms such as Skype, Microsoft Corp’s Teams and Cisco Systems Inc’s Webex.
Speaking on the development, Zoom Chief Financial Officer Kelly Steckelberg explained that the fund will make investments of between $250,000 and $2.5 million into companies building “Zoom Apps” that plug into the company’s video conferencing software to add new features to it
According to Steckelberg, the company will run the fund “from Zoom’s balance sheet, rather than as a standalone venture capital entity, and will not seek to take board seats in the companies it invests in.”
“This will really help invest in developers at early stages and get early market traction,” she added.
The lab, which is a co-creation space and incubator, engages young startups in the development of innovative, open-source, market-driven products and solutions that address complex problems.
According to Unicef, over 200 applications were received from across Ghana, from which 22 promising social impact start-ups were selected to participate in a six-month business and product development programme.
Further commenting on the development, Unicef Deputy Representative, Fiachra McAsey, noted that the selected startups exhibited potentials that were capable to scale their business ideas.
She said: “Unicef is excited to welcome this new cohort of 22 start-ups from across Ghana to the Unicef StartUp Lab for 2021.
“Each of the start-ups was already marketing impactful products and services that, if brought to scale, can positively influence and accelerate results for children, young people, and communities.”
“With the right support, we believe several of the solutions being worked on by these businesses could eventually have a global impact. From our perspective, the start-ups not only represent the best of Ghana’s young entrepreneurial talent, but they can also provide inspiration for other impact-focused businesses across the Ghanaian economy.”

We have a proposed Southwest Light Rail Transit line, a high frequency train that would connect downtown Minneapolis to my town of Eden Prairie. funding for capital costs will come from four sources: the transit sales tax in the metro area (30 percent), the County (10 percent), the State (10 percent), and the Federal Transit Administration (up 50 percent). Every month there's a new cost added to the currently estimated $1.25 billion project.
Ridership is projected to be 24,000 to 30,000 rides per day by year 2030, which would be a large increase from the 2000 rides a day generated via the buses that run from Eden Prairie to downtown. Currently, very cushy buses with large comfortable seats carry a handful of people downtown all day on each trip. Revenue, meanwhile, is falling, reflect low demand. Riders pay an average of $2.5 per trip, even though it costs $8 to cover marginal costs. The proposed project has many stops as planners hate express routes that travel nonstop node-to-node because this just encourages riders to live outside the city! The wishful thinking is basically designed to fail, not that anyone cares because they are all spending not just someone else's money, but each agency feels like the other agencies are subsidizing them, as if it doesn't all come from taxpayers in the end.
Spending money on such boondoggles to create jobs relies on a faith in the fiscal multiplier, and the magic of spending to reduce debt. Bush II spent like a drunken sailor (wars, medicare) and this ended with a disaster even though it should have been no worse than the alien invasion expenditures suggested by Keynesian economists. It should be remembered that after independence India focused on jobs and the poor, as opposed to free trade and property rights, and they stagnated for decades. If governments could boost the economy spending on big top-down projects, countries like India would have done much better than countries that were less hands-on in their management.

Having seen Bodo/Glimt’s exploits over the past few seasons, Mikel Arteta has been left in doubt that Thursday night’s encounter will be a tough one.
Despite being a relative newcomer on the European football scene, Bodo made many take notice last term when they thrashed Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference League group stage - the first time a Jose Mourinho-managed side had conceded that amount in one game.
They went on to reach the quarter-finals of that competition and have made an unbeaten start to their Europa League campaign, drawing 1-1 against PSV in Eindhoven before beating FC Zurich at home.
Kjetil Knutson has also guided the team to back-to-back Norwegian league titles, so an incredibly-impressed Arteta is taking nothing for granted when the team from the Arctic Circle make the trip to north London.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, he said: “We’ve done our homework. We have made the players aware of the team that we are facing tomorrow, the history and what they’ve done in the last few years.
“There are a few really good players and it’s a really good coach as well, and they have a clear identity with how they play. You can see straight away what they are trying to do and again I’ve been impressed with them.”
The boss also admitted that he sought the opinion of his skipper Martin Odegaard, who could face his fellow countrymen tomorrow night, and who has been stressing the importance of avoiding any complacency ahead of the first of two encounters with Bodo over the next week.
“We have Martin in the squad who knows them really well,” Mikel added. “He’s done his homework in the dressing room to [ensure the squad] understands that tomorrow is going to be a tough game.
“We just spoke about what I saw. I will do the same with the staff, and he was really clear. He said exactly the same opinion and that tomorrow will be a really tough match.”
A win on Thursday will see us leapfrog our opponents into top spot, and with the group winners automatically proceeding into the round of 16, Arteta is keen to win as many early group games as possible to give his side the best opportunity to progress deep into the tournament.
“It’s a competition that is really important for us,” he said. “We know how important it is to be on top of that group. We have tough competition, and the home advantage so we have to use it. That’s why tomorrow’s game is really important for us.”

For thirty years Bob Scott's Lacrosse has been the ultimate guide to the "fastest game on two feet," explaining the men's game at its highest level and promoting the Johns Hopkins philosophy, which has become synonymous with lacrosse excellence. In this long-awaited updated edition, Coach Dave Pietramala, whose Blue Jays won the 2007 and 2005 NCAA men's lacrosse championships, and Neil Grauer, a Hopkins graduate and veteran writer on lacrosse, among other subjects, have reworked every chapter, modernizing sections on rules, equipment, preparation, and tactics. They revisit topics such as drills and skills for specific positions, game strategy, clearing tactics, and the history of the game itself—including a section on the Johns Hopkins contributions to lacrosse. New diagrams and images help to clarify concepts and instructions in the text. Action and instructional photos by Hopkins photographer James Van Rensselaer capture some of the drama from the 2005 championship year and accompany the teaching chapters. Like the Bob Scott book on which it builds, this edition will soon become familiar to every serious student of the sport.

A few days ago, my next-door-neighbor who loves cooking made five big rhubarb, blackberry and blackcurrant crumbles, with the last of the harvest from my garden “food forest.”
She then gave them to other folks who live close by. You just can’t beat home cooking!
And you can’t get better food than organic home-grown food, straight from the garden and prepared right away. This food forest idea is one that’s taking off big-style.
It’s an idea that’s part of the whole permaculture revolution and it’s really a wonderful idea. What you do is just plant stuff in a forest type manner, and let nature take care of it, for the most part. Continue reading “Rhubarb crumble and forests of food”

In a to some degree novel approach to stand out as truly newsworthy, JetBlue is putting forth people the chance to fly free for an entire year. Is there a catch? Obviously there is. This isn’t so much an advancement as it is a challenge, and if individuals need an opportunity to win individuals should erase each and every one of their Instagram photographs. To put it plainly, if individuals care progressively about heading out back and forth on another person’s dime than individuals do about their social media presence, this is unquestionably a challenge people’ll need to remember.
Word of the challenge — which is called All You Can Jet — first came up by means of Instagram a week ago. With respect to the points of interest, JetBlue will choose three fortunate victors who will basically have the capacity to travel cost-free across North America, Central America, and select areas in the Caribbean. The main costs the victors will acquire will be the expenses and charges related with the flights. So while not 100% free, it’s still a remarkable opportunity for anybody hoping to escape.
In the event that individuals need to enter, the initial step is to erase the majority of their Instagram pictures. Sound startling? Maybe, yet as JetBlue guilefully reminds all on their site: “Don’t worry, if you win you’ll be able to post pics from everywhere we fly.”
When individuals do that, the next step is to upload a customized picture — JetBlue has a template here — to their recently vacant Instagram page with a #Allyoucanjetsweepstakes hashtag. Following that, the waiting game starts, with JetBlue ready to advise the victors not long after the challenge shuts down at 11:59 EST this coming Friday.
