Campaigners have accused town hall chiefs of “throwing away taxpayers money” ahead of their planned protest outside tonight’s full council meeting.
Rainford Action Group say St Helens Council’s Local Plan, which would see homes built on green belt land, goes against Government policy.
Groups opposed to wide-scale development on St Helens’ green belt say Theresa May’s comments in the House of Commons last week indicate that proposals in the St Helens Local Plan would be rejected if put before an independent planning inspector.
The group intends to take hundreds of protestors to Victoria Square where they will stage a “noisy” demonstration while councillors hold their monthly full council meeting.
James Wright, chair of the Rainford Action Group, said: “The Prime Minister’s comments and the huge number of responses to the consultation show the St Helens Local Plan should be radically rewritten and the proposals for building on the borough’s green belt removed.
“We’ve said all along the population growth predictions, housing need estimates and employment figures in the Local Plan are unproven and do not justify concreting the countryside of St Helens.
“As councillors consider how they should save money to cope with the financial shortfall the council faces, one way would be to review their Local Plan. To take it forward any further in its current form would be throwing away taxpayers’ money and a gross waste of the council’s limited resources.”
Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions in the House of Commons last week, Theresa May confirmed the government’s stance that green belt land should only be built on as a last resort. That commitment followed the recent housing white paper published by the government that stated the green belt could only be developed in “exceptional circumstances”.
The full council meeting will take place tonight at 6.15pm, with the protest starting at 5.30pm.

Why Capital Smart City is better than others?
Capital Smart City is a buzzword right now in Real Estate Market of Pakistan. It is a real place around the globe that incorporates the cutting-edge technology in to daily aspect of people’s life. Using Information Communication Technology (ICT), it has make daily life much convenient for residents. In short, Capital Smart City is international standard project containing fully desired living package.
You may wonder why invest in Capital Smart City and not in other neighboring societies. Thus, this blog will inform you why Capital Smart City is better than several others. Without further ado, let’s discuss the main aspects that proves Capital Smart City as a smart choice.
Capital Smart City is biggest Eco-friendly city of Pakistan. No other project in a lane can claim it. Capital Smart City has reserved 32% of total land area for the Natural Resources. Keeping in view the air-quality of urban spaces, it has keen concern for atmosphere. Thus, the strong team of developers pledged to do not disturb the natural circle to any extent.
You can find plenty of natural assets here. Crystal Lake features clear water. The major attraction is 18-hole signature Golf Club. It is designed by Harradine Golf that is international firm. Furthermore, Panda Reserve is another mega development. It serves to provide natural environment for animals.
Smart Waste Management Idea
CSCI introduces the smart ideas for smart management. For that reason, it has bring International firm ESA. It solely works to handle all waste issues. ESA adopts the waste collection system according to needs of environment. It provides solutions centered upon urban regeneration, encouragement of separate collection, and economic savings.
Meanwhile, this smart waste management idea only implemented in Capital Smart City. No any other housing society features it.
Capital Smart City ensures citizens convenience at maximum. Usually people feel frustrated because of poorly managed transportation system. It used tech-savy signals that work automatically. Further, these traffic signals operate depending upon the intensity of traffic. Meanwhile, every vehicle has Fleet Tracker installed. So in case of car theft or any such case, you can trace the vehicle with the help of trackers.
Furthermore, there is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) integrated in whole project. 2 BRTs routes proposed. Firstly, the main route run along the main boulevard while the second route has immediate access to different districts. Thus, it will ultimately make the mobility across the project more comfortable and easy.
Capital Smart City is known as Smart City because of novel Smart Amenities provision. First of all, it is introducing Smart Homes that are never seen before. These smart homes gives you freedom to operate every single thing in your house remotely. Further, for absolute security and surveillance there are indoor and outdoor security cameras which gives you instant monitoring of your inner space on mobile device.
Along with that, it offers you theme parks that are present in every single neighborhood. Financial Square, Fashion Boulevard, The moon of Pakistan, and several other such centers introduced for the ultimate leisure. Also, Freij International will feature global standard Riding Park.
These are some of the salient features that make CSCI stand tall from other societies. Its prime location, legal status, profit margins and certain other votes only in favor of this futuristic project.

However, some people also want moles removed for cosmetic reasons. Moles can be disfiguring — especially on the face. If they’re on your cheek, they distort your profile. Plus, they’re distracting (to you and others). Sometimes others stare at your mole instead of looking in your eyes during a conversation. Or maybe you see it out of the corner of your eye. If it starts to block your vision, it becomes a medical concern.
Congenital nevi are moles that are present at birth. Congenital nevi occur in about one in 100 people. These moles are slightly more likely to develop into melanoma (cancer) than are moles that appear after birth. A mole or freckle should be checked if it has a diameter of more than a pencil eraser or any characteristics of the ABCDEs of melanoma (see below).
I had moles all over my body since I was a kid. I had no idea that there was a solution to reduce the appearance of them until I found your website. I immediately ordered your product after browsing the reviews and reading all the information. The fact that it is a natural product was the deciding factor for me and I could see that your company is credible and has been in business for many years. I have been applying for 3 weeks and I can see a huge difference in the appearance of my moles and I am happy. I was hoping for quicker and a little more substantial results but I guess I may have been looking for a miracle. Overall, pretty satisfied and I feel the product is worth at least 4 stars. * - Ryan
After using H-Moles for only 1 week, I am starting to see results in a very sensitive area of my body. No ill side effects. I am reordering to clear up this long-standing, persistent problem -- I hope -- once and for all. It has been affecting my overall general health for many years, and I wasn't aware of that until I started using H-Moles and started feeling better. Thank you for an effective, affordable and safe product. * - Bernadette
Make an appointment with a dermatologist. Going about mole removal the safe way is a decision you won't regret. It's extremely important to have your mole examined by a professional rather than trying to remove it yourself, even if you just want it removed for cosmetic reasons. When you see a physician, he or she will be able to tell whether the mole is potentially cancerous. If it is, professional removal is the only safe method, since other methods won't adequately deal with the cancer cells.
Someone should have told me all this and urged me to get my blood sugar checked immediately. A standard physical a few years later (I wasn’t doing them regularly like I should have been; I was young and stupid) in fact revealed that my fasting blood sugar levels were high. The skin tags could have been a clue. A study published in March 2017 in the journal Dermatology Review found that nearly 42 percent of patients with skin tags fulfilled the criteria for metabolic disease. About 37 percent of the participants had abnormally high glucose tolerance tests.

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. You know how it is in the summer when you are out of school, you just want to hang out and relax…no homework…no science projects…no papers to write…
Veronica says we should get ready for the school year, though, so I thought, “What better way to get back in practice writing than to write in my diary?!” So, Diary, let me tell you about my fantastic spring and early summer. (I had so many adventures I will probably need to take several diary entries to share them all with you.) Here is the first of my latest adventures.
In May, I returned to one of my regular haunts, Fort Hawkins in Macon. I know you will remember, Diary, that this is the cool fort on one of the tallest hills in Macon. In fact, I think I told you about Fort Hawkins twice, so I won’t repeat myself except to describe my latest visit there.
The archaeologists with The LAMAR Institute returned to the fort for some quick, but important work. They were hoping to find evidence for where the northwestern blockhouse of the fort once stood. I wondered why they chose the spot they did to excavate, because there sure wasn’t ANYTHING there above ground. Clearly, there was no building now standing where they were excavating, between the fence and the road.
Then I heard Real Dan and Veronica talking about how they hoped to find the blockhouse because they would be digging in an area aligned with the palisade, that is, with the ditch that held the fence that encompassed the entire fort. I was still a bit confused until I heard them and the other archaeologists get all excited a few days later. Apparently, the soil that the blockhouse once stood on had been removed when the road was built. The archaeologists figured out where the building stood; however, because they found the end of the palisade ditch where it would have stopped next to the blockhouse wall. How exciting!
Of course, there is a lot more to archaeology than just making exciting discoveries. The archaeologists have to make extremely accurate maps showing where everything (like the blockhouse and the palisade) is located and where they excavated. To do this, they use a laser transit like the one in the picture. Joneszie (the guy on the right) is a really good archaeologist who, unlike many archaeologists, can also wield a mean transit! Here he does a little public outreach (another thing archaeologists do a lot) and explains what the archaeologists are doing at the site.
Another transit person on the site while we were there was a REAL surveyor (not just an archaeologist using survey equipment!) He worked very hard and helped the archaeologists by putting permanent markers in the ground so that they can always find their site grid. He also gave them some important pointers about their transit.
Speaking of visitors and public outreach….well, not to be boastful or anything, but that is what I, the ArchaeoBus, do best! I mean, I didn’t just go to Fort Hawkins to park and look pretty all day. I was there to work! In the gallery below are a few of my work photos.
And speaking of friends… who turned up to help but my old friend, David Farrier. And speaking of old friends, here’re to two of my three BFHF (Best Fort Hawkins Friends), with their backs to the camera, of course!!

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that is recognised and regulated by law in Australia, and around 40 other countries globally, as well as being established and recognised under general law in many other countries. The practice of chiropractic allows for a wide range of different styles, techniques and approaches, as well as offering a host of post graduate qualifications in select areas of practice. At the simplest level of understanding, chiropractic practice recognises and respects that integration and co-ordination of the central nervous system (CNS) with the rest of the physical body is a necessary requirement for the expression of health and wellbeing in BOTH the physical body AND the CNS. Chiropractors endeavour to ensure that this relationship between your CNS and your body is operating at its best and seeks to identify and restore disturbances to this connection, then promote appropriate lifestyle choices based on understanding to help maintain this relationship. Dysfunction of your spine is the main culprit of ‘brain to body and body to brain dysfunction’. Your spine IS the home of your spinal cord, it IS the doorway for the majority of your peripheral nerves entering and exiting your CNS, it IS the centrepiece of your core, and it IS sadly one of the most commonly injured parts of your body!
At Benz Chiropractic clinics, we emphasise elucidating the underlying dysfunction that eventually leads to the annoying pain/symptom that you usually present to our clinics with. In the addressing of this under-pinning problem, as well as the source of your pain, we’ll alleviate your suffering and improve your health. We also collaborate with many other healthcare professionals that we have engendered professional relationships with, across the full spectrum of healthcare, so that you benefit for our extensive experience within the ‘healthcare system’.
Chiropractic care can be applied to every age group, every ethnicity, every nationality, every religion/belief system, and in conjunction with every other health profession. It has been shown to be safer, and more effective in addressing many common health complaints than many other ‘conventional’ ways.
Chiropractic care is ‘green’, it is ‘environmentally sustainable’, it is in-expensive, it is ‘low tech’, its ‘carbon foot-print’ is nil and it engenders a high degree of patient satisfaction

text: It took a week after a Washington cow tested positive for mad cow disease in December for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to announce new safeguards. Tighter controls on the meat supply came first. (Item No. 1: no more "downer animals" that can\u2019t walk.) Next up: an IT system to identify and track more than two dozen species of animals, including the nation\u2019s estimated 96 million cattle.The mad cow incident has made developing the underlying technology for the US Animal Identification Plan (USAIP)?in development since October 2002?an urgent priority for USDA CIO Scott Charbo, says Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman.The animal ID plan\u2019s goal is to track the movements of more than two dozen species of mammals, birds and fish and be able to locate infected animals within 48 hours of a disease outbreak. Each animal?or, for animals such as fish, each lot of animals?would be tagged with a unique identification number. Organizers are endorsing radio frequency identification (RFID) tags; cattle would be fitted with ear tags containing an RFID chip storing each animal\u2019s ID number.Forty-eight hours is faster than what occurs now with cattle. It took the government several days to confirm the infected cow\u2019s age and origin. The work to locate other cattle shipped with the infected cow from Alberta, Canada, to the United States is ongoing. At press time, 27 of 80 had been located. (Investigators also traced one of the infected cow\u2019s offspring to a second farm in Washington. Because authorities couldn\u2019t identify the exact animal, the entire herd of 450 was euthanized.)Before this mad cow case, the USDA had set July 2005 as the first deadline for ID tracking of interstate cattle movements. Progress for the project had stalled, however, as policy-makers and players from the livestock industry grappled with the program\u2019s complexity and cost (estimated to be $600 million). Along with finding the money to foot the bill, officials need to finalize data structures, database architectures and location technologies.Frustration at the slow speed of the USAIP\u2019s development led five agricultural data service companies in October 2003 to set up the Beef Information Exchange to create data-sharing standards and lay the framework for a nationwide beef cattle tracking system. "We don\u2019t want to replace the USAIP. We just can\u2019t wait a couple years for it," says Tim Niedecken, information products director for eMerge Interactive, a software and services vendor to the beef industry.Niedecken, who is on an IT subcommittee for the USAIP project, says its wide scope slows progress. For beef producers, adopting tracking tools can reassure nervous retailers and consumers. Denver-based Maverick Ranch recently has been testing a biometric ID system from Optibrand."Our customers want to know where the animal was raised, what we fed it, and where it was born, so I have to have a process in place to help bring some of that information together," says Rex Moore, Maverick\u2019s president. While the USDA is leaning toward an RFID-enabled system with ear tags, Moore says he prefers Optibrand\u2019s retinal scanning technology. Ear tags can be lost or tampered with, while eyes can\u2019t. It costs $2,000 for an Optibrand reader and less than $1 per scan. During the lifetime of an animal, it would cost about $3 in imaging charges (shared by rancher, feed lot and slaughterhouse).The expense is necessary, Moore adds. "The industry really does need it as a herd health tool," he says.

While the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is often maligned, it remains one of the biggest government successes throughout the western world.
At its best, a fully functional NHS is the envy of the world, while many of its recent issues have been caused by increased demand (due to Covid-19 and an aging population) and a significant lack of funding in real terms.
Due to the unique pressures it has faced of late, the NHS has also been hit with mounting medical negligence claims, further adding to its huge administrative and financial burden.
But how does the actual delivery of free healthcare through the NHS compare to the US’s private insurance system, and the UK’s partners in the EU?
The US system does not provide even emergency healthcare for free at the point of service, with every kind of treatment billable by private organisations.
Because of this and the fact that the healthcare market is governed entirely by free market factors (in this instance including endless demand and a limited, controlled supply of services), the cost of healthcare in the US is also remarkably high.
For example, the USA is the most expensive country in the world in which to treat a broken leg (by the sole measure of treatment costs, at least), with this estimated to be in the region of £25,550. This is some 7.5x higher than the average cost of £3,363 in the UK, which is why so many US citizens have to take our private medical insurance to access healthcare.
For individuals in low-income jobs or are unemployed, it’s often impossible to take out suitable healthcare policies, creating a scenario where many have no viable access at all to even basic healthcare.
Most countries in Europe also operate a private medical insurance system, although some combine this with the provision of free emergency care at the point of service.
Interestingly, one of the most advanced private insurance systems in Europe is operated in Switzerland, where patients pay £4,956 to healthcare coverage on average every single year.
This equates to 69% of the total cost of healthcare, with this percentage markedly higher than any other country around the world.
Spain also operates a largely private healthcare system, with the average cost of treating a broken leg here thought to be as high as £15,000. This also creates significant potential issues for patients, particularly for those who don’t have access to the requisite medical coverage through their insurer.
Obviously, healthcare systems are even more disparate around the world, with nations like Singapore offering a private delivery mechanism that requires patients to leverage medical insurance in most instances (it costs around £10,396 to treat a broken leg here).
Developing countries like India provide a far less organised healthcare system, of course, with this often hamstrung by an underlying lack of structure and a huge population. Interestingly, Indian citizens currently pay the highest rate of out-of-pocket health costs, with a staggering 63% of healthcare expenditure here covered by out-of-pocket costs.
This equates to an average cost of £33 to the patient, while serving as a timely reminder of why we need to protect and nurture our unique NHS going forward.

SAN MATEO (BCN) -- Peninsula Clean Energy, San Mateo County's official electricity provider, announced Tuesday it is expanding its used electric vehicle rebate program.
Eligible county residents could receive up to $4,000 in rebates to purchase a used electric vehicle.
The amount of the rebate depends on a resident's income level and whether the vehicle is a hybrid or fully electric.
All county residents could receive rebates starting at $700 for a plug-in hybrid and up to $1,000 for a fully electric vehicle.
Income-qualified residents, such as those participating in CalFresh, Clipper START or other assistance programs, can receive rebates of up to $3,700 for plug-in hybrids or $4,000 for fully electric vehicles.
The rebate only applies to used electric vehicles, which must be eight years old or newer and which cost no more than $25,000 before the rebates.
Income-qualified residents in San Mateo County can combine Peninsula Clean Energy rebates with other regional and state programs.
The used electric vehicle rebate program is a partnership with GRID Alternatives Bay Area, a nonprofit that provides clean energy programs.
To be eligible for a rebate, residents must pre-apply online before purchasing a used electric vehicle. The pre-application is available at https://peninsulacleanenergy.formstack.com/forms/usedevinterest.
Once the application is approved, qualifying residents can purchase vehicles at a participating local car dealership. A list of participating dealerships is available online.
Redwood City resident Victor Bianco, who purchased a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle in 2020, recommended the program as he said it was simple to apply to, saves money and is environmentally friendly.
"Had it not been for this program, I would have never even considered buying an electric vehicle, due to it being financially out of my reach," Bianco said in a statement.
More information on the program is available online at https://www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/usedev/.

Premier Phumulo Masualle
MEC for Roads and Public Works Ms Thandiswa Marawu
MEC for Transport, Ms Weziwe Tikana
Member of the SANRAL Board, Mr Matete Matete
Acting Director General, Chris Hlabisa
SANRAL CEO, Sikhumbuzo Macozoma
Senior Management of the all spheres of government present
Members of the media
Ladies and gentlemen
Today I met with the Eastern Cape Premier Mr Phumulo Masualle, MEC for Roads and Public Works Ms Thandiswa Marawu and MEC for Transport Weziwe Tikana to give them an update about the N2 Wild Coast Project.
As you may know the N2 is a strategic route that traverses four provinces, namely, Western Cape, Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and Mpumalanga. As government we are aware that an investment in this road can have major socio economic benefits for these provinces.
Today, we are here to talk to you about the N2 as it relates to the Eastern Cape. Known as the N2 Wild Coast Project, this is one of the eighteen (18) Strategic Integrated Project (SIP 3) that was approved by Cabinet.
In the Eastern Cape, the N2 Wild Coast stretch from East London to the Eastern Cape boarder. Of the total length, some 112 km would be on a new “greenfields” alignment between the Ndwalane (near Port St Johns) and the Mtamvuna River (near Port Edward).
The road will include two (2) mega-bridge structures on the Msikaba and Mtentu Rivers, Seven (7) additional major river bridges and five (5) interchange bridges.
The remainder of the project comprises the upgrading of the existing roads, mainly the R61 already underway and the future construction of ring roads at Mthatha, Idutwya and Butterworth.
Once complete the route will be approximately 85 km shorter than the current N2 alignment from Mthatha to Port Shepstone and will be up to three (3) hours faster, particularly for heavy freight vehicles.
Ladies and gentlemen, we see the N2 Wild Coast as not only a road project but catalyst for other developments.
Economically, the project will result in significantly faster delivery times and lower transportation costs in terms of freight. It will improve mobility and connectivity between provinces and towns within and between provinces.
The Wild Coast has a lot of tourism potential and this project will improve access, mobility and attractiveness for tourists. Also, it will open up the provinces agricultural potential by improving access to markets through an improved road.
In terms of Local Economic Development, the project will yield significant Local SMME/business opportunities, both directly and indirectly.
SANRAL will ensure that local SMMEs have a significant involvement in the project through the following measures:
1. Upfront training of local SMMEs (already underway);
2. A minimum 30% CPG goal for all road infrastructure projects including sub allocations for various levels of contractors linked to local target areas as well as local suppliers of goods and services;
3. Unbundling of a minimum of 14 grade 4-7 CE and GB contracts for relocation of affected households and the construction of local access roads;
4. Training and development of SMMEs and labour during construction;
5. The development of local hard rock quarries and sand mines;
6. The implementation of various community development projects; and;
7. The use of Targeted Enterprises for 20%-30% of the consultants design work + additional opportunities for local professionals
The positive economic impact will be felt by places such as Port St Johns, Lusikisiki and Mzamba, as well as towns such as Flagstaff, Bizana and Holy Cross. The mandate given to SANRAL is to ensure that locals benefit from both jobs and business opportunities.
Ladies and gentlemen, a road is not just a road. It links communities to other social services provided by government and this road will certainly improve access to health care, education and other social services.
The budget for the upgrading of the existing N2 and R61 portions of the N2 Wild Coast project has since 2011 been funded from the SANRAL non-toll budget.
The total budget required for the N2 Wild Coast Road greenfields portion is approximately R8.5 – 9.0 billion.
Funding for the two bridges has already been made available through the Department of Transport.
The Ministry will be making an announcement as soon as I have completed my interaction with the SANRAL Board in this regard.
In conclusion, I take this opportunity to thank the Premier, the Eastern Cape Provincial Government, the PICC, Political Oversight Committee, Mayors and affected Districts and Municipalities, Traditional Leaders, Business Chambers and the affected Communities for the support and enthusiasm that they have shown for this project thus far.
As we roll it out, we are hopeful that the same spirit of collaboration and cooperation will continue.
I thank you.

Official information here (pdf).
This is the follow on to Question 1 which I blogged about on Saturday. There are two possible initiatives to choose from. If Question 1 passes, then the winner in Question 2 will appear on the ballot.
Boiled down, the first option "Initiative 26" makes a number of local offices that have been partisan offices into non-partisan offices. The second option "Council-Proposed Alternative" does the same thing, but also provides for candidates to still identify their party preference on the ballot. (Although such identification would not imply the endorsement of the party.)
The argument is that it is better to be open about a preference which will exist anyway than to hide it, and that putting the party preference on the ballot gives the voters more information in order to make a educated choice.
I frankly think that is bullshit, and is just an attempt to essentially keep the positions partisan, even while calling them non-partisan. It is an effort to maintain the status quo while pretending to do otherwise.
I generally am displeased with political parties and think that any effort to disrupt the influence of such organizations, and rather have people make decisions based not on party identification, but rather by evaluating the individuals involved and their specific views, is a positive development.
If candidates want to make known a party preference, then they can put it on their websites, they can talk about it, people can discuss it. But it should not be on the ballot. (Frankly, I think all elections should be that way.)
And honestly, I think that if an office is truly a non-partisan office, then close identification with any political party should be a major negative for any candidate. If it is a non-partisan office, then people running for those positions, or elected to those positions, should make a significant effort to NOT be tied to beholden to any political party.
In any case, as I'm sure is obvious by this point, my vote is for:

Environmental Injustice and Public Health Crisis
In 2016 Flint Michigan made national headlines when organizations, including local parents, advocated for children who were exposed to lead through remaining service lines. 2.4 % of children in Flint had elevated levels of lead in their blood.
In another rust belt city, Milwaukee Wisconsin, 10.8% of children tested in 2016 had elevated lead blood levels, nearly four times higher than Flint Michigan.
Of the children who tested positive for elevated lead levels half were Black, and yet according to the 2021 Census only 7 % of WI residents are Black.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin is known as one of the most segregated cities in the U.S largely because of historic red-lining. The city of Milwaukee dictates when it is required to replace lead service lines otherwise the cost of replacing public and private pipes and hiring a required licensed contractor falls onto the property owner.
How does historic red-lining and current demographics compare with the presence of lead pipes the city has decided aren’t required to be replaced?

A 4-year-old male is brought by his mother to the emergency department for 2 days of left elbow pain following a fall. The elbow initially did not appear badly injured so the boy’s parents elected to wait until the following day before obtaining care. Today the arm looked somewhat swollen and the child was still complaining of pain and was not using the arm.
Vital signs were normal. Physical examination was normal except for guarding and tenderness of the left elbow as well as decreased ability to fully supinate or extend the elbow. No deformity is observed beyond mild swelling. X-ray image is shown below.

Generally plastic has at all times been utilized to create products using molds. There are many distinct varieties of metal which can be used to produce molds.
When someone wishes to use a mold to create a metal product they will normally talk to a mold manufacturer. Mold makers will create a mold using a specific design. Engineers generally create these designs with the objective of getting them made in molds. The mold is going to be a reverse version of the initial design. When the material has set and cooled, it’s going to have been formed into the specific layout.
Metal injection molding is used to create an assortment of unique products. Using metal in the mold makes sure that the last product will be very powerful and resilient. Precision Injection mold There are lots of tiny products that are made using metal injection molding. Often these small products are components that are used in machines. Metal mold injection produces very strong parts that may not be made using plastic. That’s the fantastic advantage that metal injection into molds has within the plastic collection. Injection mold techniques may be used to create some large items as well.
Plastic has traditionally been utilized when making products using injection molding. On the other hand, using metals in molds is increasing in popularity. People are searching for stronger products that can only be made using steel. It’s not great for use in many industrial applications. If you’re wanting to mass produce a product that is going to find some heavy usage you should use a metal injection mold process.
There are many distinct metals which may be utilised within an injection mold process. Carbon can be utilized. Metal alloys can be used. Stainless steel is often utilized to create molds. This is a metal that creates a powerful and sturdy item. Titanium is also become popular for use in molds. It’s seen a lot of use from the application of creating medical devices. These need to be made using powerful metal and exact techniques.
For 25 years now the industry of metal injection molds has be increasing at a steady pace. Metal mold injecting is used today for a variety of products. Generally plastic has always been used to create products using molds. There are many distinct varieties of metal that can be used to produce molds.
Metal was used for a while now in the process of using injection molds. This may then harden and create a final product which is powerful and durable. There are several different products made using metal injection molds.

Breeding Great Danes Is complicated by the fact that the breed Standard condones only five colours – fawn, brindle, black, blue and harlequin – though when standardised as a recognisable breed in Germany about 100 years ago Danes appeared in many and various colours. Colour was not considered important by early breeders and a great deal of white was often present in the coat colour of fawns and brindles. The extension of white was so common that eventually German breeders disallowed the breeding of harlequins – dogs with a predorninance of white – to fawns or brindles. It’s also true to say that early Danes were often referred to as being ‘smokey’ In colour, evidence of the recessive blue colouration being widespread. So there we have the background to the generally accepted colour Code of Ethics of today. The basic rules of breeding only fawn to fawn or brindle, brindle to brindle or fawn, black to black or blue or harlequin, blue to blue or black, harlequin to harlequin or harlequin derivates or black. By so doing, the five colours were established and stabilised. However, such matters get more complex. Without going Into all the facts of colour breeding, I would like to make the following observations.
1) One must breed for type as well as colour. As a basic rule of thumb, type in Danes has traditionally permeated basically from the fawns and brindles. Therefore, even In Germany, occassional ‘cross colour’ breedings between fawn or brindle and the other colours have been sanctioned in the interests of type.
2. Even the most ardent supporters of the breeders’ colour Code of Ethics cannot deny the fact that some excellent Danes have resulted from cross-colour breedings. Undoubtedly great progress has been made in blacks as a result of breeding to lawn. Danes from the American breeders of Honey Hollow, Jacopa and Jecamo kennels come to mind in this regard. I would ven- ture to add that it has not only been the blacks which have benefited, and the history of Ch Honey Hollow Stormi Rudi must be a classic example of an excellent fawn (multi BIS winner) who resulted from a cross-colour breeding. Furthermore, modern scientific research into colour breeding as quoted in Nancy Carroll Draper’s book, ‘The Great Dane – Dogdom’s Apollo’. In the chapter by Kenneth A Doeg PhD, he reports the fact that rusty coated blacks have not resulted from fawn/black cross-colour breeding In Danes.
3. The colour blue would seem to present particular problems in that it may be safely bred blue to blue, or blue to black, the black to be bred black to black or possibly harlequin. The dangers of breeding blue to other colours is the possible undesirable result of blue fawns and blue brindles, and blue would also seem an undesirable element in harlequin breeding with its possible contribution to merle and blue patches on harlequins. I am not a harlequin breeder, but would think that the preceding reasons account for the fact that blue harlequins (white dogs with blue rather than black patches, as recognised by the English Standard and its followers, Australia and New Zealand); are not accepted in other Standards. These inherent problems mean that blues have a smaller gene pool than other colours and are difficult to breed. The pigmentation that goes with blues makes it difficult to maintain dark eyes and a pleasing expression. Therefore the darker the blue the better, as the better will be the chance of dark pigmentation. Breeding to blacks can help.
4. The commonly held belief that cross-colour breeding (black to fawn) can result In smutty blacks and rusty blacks has not proved to be the case in our experience. In fact some of the cleanest fawns have resulted from black/fawn matings, whereas smutty colour on fawns and brindles is another genetic factor often inherent in conventionally bred lines. Rusty blacks have been no more of a problem than in blacks bred any other way. Bear in mind that blacks and blues can turn revolting hues when changing coat.
5. Chocolates, occasionally encountered (very rarely), can eventuate from even the best colour bred pedigrees and are not exclusively a byproduct of cross-colour breeding. Like the smutty colour encountered in some fawns and brindles, this is a separate problem.
6. All Great Dane pedigrees should be colour marked, to show the colour of each animal, and there should be a climate in the breed that will facilitate honest colour marking of pedigrees.
7. I do not advocate cross-colour breeding just for its own sake. But in a small country like NZ, breeding choices are very limited. First choice for colour should be along conventional lines always, but breeders have many factors to consider when making decisions about their breeding programme. Breeders should be knowledgeable about colour genetics. For example, a very basic principle is fawn to fawn will only produce fawn. A black ancestor will not vary that fact. This is a ‘controversial subject, and one on which a Dane breeder’s outlook seems to be shaped very much by their own involvement in the various colours. Having started in blues and blacks, our outlook can differ greatly from those of breeders who have only ever had fawns and brindles, and therefore would not usually have to concern themselves with even considering cross-colour breeding. However, Great Danes should conform to their breed Standard and display the same type regardless of their colour. If never the twain had met between the various colours in Great Danes, the uniformity of type achieved thus far in the breed would not have been reached.

The hits just keep coming for an east Texas bridge. We're talking about the Green Street overpass bridge in Longview.
As KLTV 7's LaKecia Shockley shows you, it's an overpass that some east Texas drivers just can't seem to get under.
It's the lowest 80 year old overpass in Longview.
"That thing is lit up like the Empire State Building!"
But still some drivers just don't see it.
"They still hit the bridge...I'm flabbergasted," said mayor Jay Dean.
Garbage trucks, vans, and even buses try to cross under the 10 foot bridge, and they all get stuck.
It's puzzled Longview mayor Jay Dean so much, he's thinking about writing a book.
"It's going to be called 'Driving under the Green Street Bridge for Dummies'. I mean, what else can you do?"
"That's the overpass that eats cars, trucks, and u-hauls," says Lee Guice.
Engineer Lee Guice owns the building right next to the bridge and has seen his share of incidents.
"We've seen a truck load of caskets get spilled in the road. Luckily, the caskets were empty. There were no people in them," said Guice.
"We've seen people have to go out and let all the air out of their tires to get un-jammed. That's not infrequent at all."
With flashing lights, bright yellow striped plastic pipes, and clear warning signs it's hard to believe some truck drivers still attempt to drive under the bridge. So why do they do it? the city says drivers simply don't pay attention.
"It like a Christmas tree. I mean they got ornaments hanging everywhere. I mean how can that not get your attention?"
The city's says they've done all they can to warn drivers, and to raise the bridge would cost millions.
"If you can't see the hanging dowels, the flashing lights, the signs - I just don't know what to do for people."
Mayor Jay Dean says he's looking into fining drivers who hit the bridge because they are not paying attention.

Roblox has recently updated its TOS and I’m wondering if these things are allowed:
Coinflip where 2 people bet in-game cash and the winner is decided randomly;
Blackjack (1 player vs an npc dealer, without chips, betting with in-game cash) (Arcane Lineage - Roblox This game has blackjack);
Note: in-game cash cannot be bought with Robux
By the way, you can edit a topic’s category by clicking on the Pencil icon on the topic’s title!
As it states that the exchanging of in-experience items of value isn’t allowed, as long as these in-game items aren’t purchasable with Robux, they therefore don’t have value, thus being allowed.
alright, then it’s mainly about painkillers
Since painkillers are a drug, they’re therefore not allowed then.
Just had this same question myself. From my understanding, if you make a blackjack/21s game where you’re just playing it per round, no chips are used whatsoever and you don’t get anything but satisfaction for winning, I can’t see how it is any different from other card games like go fish or whatever.
Cards in themselves are not inherently gambling related, nor is the blackjack game, obviously things like poker rely on chips/gambling so they should not be made.
As for coinflips where two people bet in-game cash, I think it’s unlikely that would be allowed anymore because it uses in-game currency (even if it can’t be bought) in a gambling sense. Saying that, just having a coin flip and having it maybe decide who goes first or whatever isn’t gambling related so would be allowed.

Extracivist Development Methods Being Questioned
"The 2009-2010 Report: State of the Environment in South America finds persistent deterioration of biodiversity and a lack of environmental protection measures in the region. The report finds the region must take urgent measures to develop alternatives to the current extractivist mode of development that generates high environmental impacts and social conflict. Faced with this challenge, the region's Ministers of Environment have presented a Regional Plan of Action 2010-2011, which prioritizes environmental issues."
"Extractivist" refers specifically to the extraction of high-demand resources as fast as possible in a forest region. However, the term carries a lot of weight across the globe in regions suffering from high rates of resource extraction.
All developing countries from Nigeria to the Democratic Republic of Congo, to Brazil that suffer from high rates of exploitive resource extraction should take heed of this report.
Although indigenous populations directly affected by extractivist and extraction development measures have been fighting for environmental justice for a long time, convincing governments to take a longer term view in wealth accumulation is harder. The above mentioned (awaiting confirmation and link) is from the United Nations. If larger organizations like the UN can start putting pressure on governments we may see more progress in this area in the future.

Every Friday, I scour the internet for new music releases. The weekly Friday Awards will highlight my favorite discovery each week, with a special emphasis on artists that are new, new-ish, or new to me.
This was an interesting release — more interesting for the talk around it than the music itself. The music on Marigold is precisely on par with what Pinegrove fans (“Pinenuts,” as they’re sometimes referred to) have come to expect from 2018’s Skylight or 2016’s debut Cardinal, although some of the magical spark of that debut has gone missing. The charming, somewhat-unique mixture of emo and americana that frontman Evan Stephens Hall specializes in will still work its way into your memory and your heart within one or two full listens of the album. That is, if you choose to even give this album a chance.
Many non-fans and ex-fans won’t give Marigold a moment of their time or a cent of support, following the allegations of sexual coercion that came out against Hall in 2017 (which resulted in a hiatus and a delayed album release for Skylight). Prior to listening to Marigold, I decided to do some digging, and the results were fascinating. Depending on which news sources you read, or which ones you believe, Hall has possibly met the terms for retribution set forth by his accuser; you might also read that Hall’s rehabilitation was fictional and that his accuser doesn’t think justice has been done at all. Some reports of Hall’s behavior sound legitimately criminal, while others make the “sexual coercion” sound slight and unworthy of such attention and discourse. Basically, if you want to listen to Pinegrove, there is enough “evidence” to support that you are still right to be supporting them; meanwhile, if you think that Hall’s creative ventures should receive no more support, there’s “evidence” for that, too. Either way, the internet is filled with people talking past each other, asserting what’s actually true and what’s actually right.
I don’t intend to put forth my personal view or take on the situation; at the very least, I know that I’m too far removed from it all to truly know what happened. Either way, I do my best to listen to music with an “art-artist separation” — which can be hard in moments where Hall’s heart-on-sleeve lyrics seem to directly be dealing with his life in the aftermath of the accusations. Yet, in those moments where the music is able to sweep you away, Hall’s signature “literature arts rock” is as effective as ever.
Still, it seems that everyone is this day and age needs to be reminded, as Hall reminds himself on the opening track “Dotted Line”: “May no fantasy hold my head up / Nor may no memory fold my head in.” Now, whether you can accept this reminder from Hall himself, or whether you need to hear it from someone else, is up to you.
Author’s Note: The reason I created this website and write these articles stems from my belief that artists should support other artists, in the same way that art inspires art. My debut album Unfall is out now, and I’d love for you to hear it.

“Christmas in Christendom” is the 1967 essay by the late University of Dallas professor Frederick Wilhelmsen with which William Buckley closed his anthology Did You Ever See a Dream Walking? American Conservative Thought in the Twentieth Century. The essay was dropped from Keeping The Tablets: Modern American Conservative Thought, the later, more focused edition of the anthology produced by Buckley and Charles Kesler in 1988.
It struck me when I read it in college as a particularly eloquent expression of Catholic faith. Over the past few years I’ve unsuccessfully looked around for it on the Internet so that I might bring it to the attention of our readers celebrating Christmas. This year I find that it has just been posted by the California Political Review and is thus available for the first time in many years. Here is how Buckley introduced the essay in his anthology:
Frederick Wilhelmsen, professor of philosophy and author of The Metaphysics of Love, closes this volume with an essay, one part poetry, one part an act of devotion, which I reproduce here believing that no volume on conservatism in America should omit an example of felt Christianity, an example of how it feels to believe those ancient religious axioms which are, for so many, the intellectual and spiritual basis of conservatism. Wilhelmsen is not satisfied to praise religion. He sees it as Chesterton did, and he is the only American writing today who combines Chesterton’s power of historical discrimination and religious animation — the mystic enthusiasm of the religion of joy, despising the accretions of puritanical dourness, straining to adore: and succeeding.

MANUFACTURER: 1st Corps
RANGE: ACW –Equipment / Characters (Pack codes ACA10 and ACA11)
SCALE: 28mm (1/56 true scale)
SIZE: Approx. 26mm foot-to-eye
These two packs are designed to represent John Brown, members of his family and some of his supporters who attacked Harper’s Ferry in 1859 without any real success. All of these figures are brimming with character. The figures of John, Oliver, Owen and Watson Brown are remarkably good likenesses but, equally, the Armed Civilians have some useful poses and a sense of characterisation.
PROS: All the figures are well sculpted, and have varied poses. There is a sense of a desire to create individuals rather than ‘stock’ figures.
CONS: Most of the figures are in their ‘Sunday best’ or ‘well-to-do clothing, making them less useful for those wanting to portray less affluent people.
SCOPE: These figures would work for those trying to portray townspeople under attack on either side in the ACW or any other game requiring early to mid-19th Century armed civilians.

LOCATE can be simplified to work for a single warehouse only processing a few orders a day, or a fast-paced business with multiple warehouse sites processing hundreds of orders to their distributors, as well as retail customers, online and in stores. As your business grows your database grows, and your inventory solution should grow with it. There are no limitations to the amount of data you pick up along the way.
An issue with current inventory/accounting integrations is that for every order there are credit(s) & debit(s) sent to accounting, as well as a shipping record. This can fill up an accounting databases within a year or two depending on how many orders a company is processing on a daily basis. Now, with LOCATE you can have all of your accounting information totaled and summarized on a daily basis, rather than an order basis.
Inventory + Workflow
Accurate inventory levels are crucial for running your business. But in order to make your operation efficient, your inventory management software needs to drive your workflow. With LOCATE, you leverage the power of inventory data, order prioritization, work assignments and a powerful rules engine that generates the best workflow plans for your current pipeline. No need to constantly run reports to figure out what your team can work on for the day – LOCATE has them efficiently processing orders from the moment they log in.
Dynamic Pick Plans
Picking capabilities in LOCATE are incredibly powerful and customizable. Picking can be done in waves by order, part, customer, or even line item. Pick plans are automatically generated to ensure oldest stock is picked first.
Robust Mobile Functionality
When a shipment arrives, your receiving department can quickly start scanning inventory into the system without ever needing to make their way to a keyboard. The same goes for your when orders are flowing in; items are picked *beep*, placed into a box *beep* and out the door without a trip to the computer.
A SaaS based solution is only as good as its ability to integrate with other software. For this reason LOCATE was written entirely as an API. This allows easy and robust integrations to all functions of the software and the ability to write custom user interfaces.

While many of their Constellation labelmates concerned themselves more with ambience, Do Make Say Think was a bit more traditional, but only a bit. In fact, the band owes as much to dub and early Kraftwerk as it does to psychedelic space rock. On each of the album's (mostly) lengthy tracks, the band takes its time getting from A to B. Yawnsville, if you're looking for a rock album, but a great way to mellow out if you're in no particular hurry. As with other Constellation releases, the packaging is of special interest, with a cutout in the front of the sleeve and multiple cards you can insert, for a different album each time.

Australian Bishops defend gay priests
Ordained Catholic priests who are gay but celibate are not affected by the Vatican's new edict banning gay seminarians, according to the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference.
The Age reports that the controversial Vatican edict released last week bars priests who are homosexually active, those who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies and those who support "gay culture". It says they cannot relate properly to men or women.
Last week, the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference welcomed "clarification that the church does not see (men in those categories) as fit candidates for priestly ordination".
In a statement, the bishops said the document did not question the validity of the ordination or situation of priests in whom homosexual tendencies emerged before or after ordination, but made clear all priests were called to chastity.
Canberra Archbishop Francis Carroll, the president of the bishops' conference, said at the weekend that the bishops are concerned that priests living a proper lifestyle "should not feel threatened or put down".
He agreed that many Australian priests were gay, though he said claims were exaggerated.
He said some very good Australian priests might not have been ordained under these guidelines, which would be regretted. But this was outweighed by the unsuitable priests who would be excluded.
Archbishop Carroll said the ordination of any new homosexual priests would still be valid though unlawful (that is, against the instruction).
The instruction should have little effect in Australia because seminary processes here already mirrored it closely, he said.

An Experimental Study on Brazing of Diamonds onto Thin Steel Wires
An experimental investigation was carried out to braze diamond abrasives onto thin steel wires, in which case the brazing was conducted in the vacuum and under high temperatures by using a nickel-based powder as brazing alloy. The morphologies and microstructures of the brazed wires were observed and the comprehensive mechanical properties of the brazed wires were tested. The brazed wires were also used to cut such brittle materials as ceramics, glass, and natural stone. It is shown that a typical phenomenon of brazing alloy’s climbing around the diamond grains was observed in brazing the wires. Through observing the cross-section of brazed wires, it is observed that there is a good bonding between the brazing alloy and the body of steel wires. The crystal grains of the steel wires grew significantly after brazing. Through observing the morphologies of the diamond wires and the surfaces of four workpiece materials, few diamond pull-outs were found on the wires and the kerfs on the workpiece materials were basically flat.

the North to the extent of rendering a service to the South in its
struggle for independence.
The chief service of this volume is to give point and direction
to the palpable inconsistencies of an impetuous and erratic editor.
Through a judicious use of the Greeley manuscripts, Professor
Fahrney discloses a fairly consistent policy modified at times to
meet changing public sentiment. Despite the fearless aggressive-
ness often attributed to Greeley, the author emphasizes the fact
that the Tribune, sensitive to public opinion, to a large extent
reflected the alternating hope and despair that swept over the
North during the long, disheartening struggle.
The reader turns in vain to discover some comprehensive induc-
tions to permit him a clear perception of the hopes and fears,
struggles and disappointments of this eccentric editor who was
the Tribune. Well documented and adequately indexed, this volume
must be added to the growing list of new and unpartisan accounts
to untangle a confused era.

The Confederate Ironclad "Virginia" ("Merrimac"). By Harri-
son A. Trexler. (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press,
1938. Pp. viii, 95. Price $2.00.)
Professor Trexler has intelligently used a mass of published
documents and secondary works, supplemented by the Charles
Ellet manuscripts, to present a straightforward and interesting
account of the famous Confederate ironclad Virginia.
The steam frigate Merrimac, officially christened the Merrimaclk,
was built by the Federal Government in 1856. In 1861, when
Virginia seized the Gosport Navy Yard, she was burned to the
water line and sunk to avoid capture. The Confederate Govern-
ment raised the hull of the vessel, converted her into an ironclad,
and renamed her the Virginia. The engines and steering gear had
been seriously injured by the salt water, so that the vessel had
little speed and was incapable of accurate manoeuvering. On March
8, 1862, the Virginia steamed into Hampton Roads to achieve a
momentous victory over the Union fleet. In less than two hours
she sank the men-of-war Cumberland and Congress, a transport

A major development bordering Barrie’s north-east end will not be getting the support of the city for a ministerial zoning order (MZO), and the city has now asked Oro-Medonte Township and the County of Simcoe to reconsider their support as well.
During city council’s general committee meeting on Monday night, council was presented with final technical comments from city staff on the McLean Park project.
In her report to council, Andrea Miller, the city's general manager of infrastructure and growth management, wrote that little detailed technical work has been presented to city staff by the McLean family in regards to the development, and that the McLean family had agreed to meet with staff over the summer to provide additional clarifying information.
“A few meetings took place between the McLean team and city staff. However, before any additional/clarifying information was provided by the McLean team, staff were advised that the McLeans had decided not to continue discussions at this point. No further discussions took place after early July 2020,” wrote Miller.
Miller wrote that the planning policy, wastewater, municipal drinking water, source-water protection and transportation-planning concerns outlined in the staff memo considered by council at the end of June remain unanswered and there are still legitimate concerns for development of this size on the border of the city.
“It is the city’s expectation that these technical comments will be fully addressed before a final decision on the principle of development is made with respect to this property,” wrote Miller.
The McLean family is in the midst of preparing a MZO request to submit to the province, for a proposed development on their family’s property at 121 Penetanguishene Rd., dubbed McLean Park.
The project has received letters of support from Oro-Medonte Township and the County of Simcoe.
The land is currently designated 'restricted rural' in the township's Official Plan.
The proposed development would consist of multi-unit apartment buildings, rear-lane and back-to-back townhouses, senior-focused one-storey dwellings, a mix of commercial, office and retail uses, future institutional (long-term care home) and recreational uses, parkland, stormwater management facilities, an infrastructure block and wastewater treatment facility, as well as local minor collector and arterial roads.
An MZO would, in effect, bypass the need for a county Official Plan amendment, an Oro-Medonte Official Plan amendment and a zoning-bylaw amendment for the project.
Barrie city council ratified their decision during their regular council meeting following the general committee meeting.
The McLean family has now set up a website for the development where questions and comments can be sent directly to the proponents. To access the website, click here.
