Back in the day, Shaq’s first impulse when he made some serious money was to buy was a couple of Bentleys. He entered the Rolls-Royce dealership dressed up in flip-flops. The salesman asked O’Neal if he could afford the rides in the store and it led to buyer’s remorse as the big fellow purchased not one, not two but three Bentleys. In the blink of an eye he had spent a million dollars, but little did he know that was only the beginning. He would only add to the collection in the upcoming years. As you’ll see in this article not all of his buys are worth the hefty price tags.
O’Neal loves to customize his rides and we’ll provide examples of the good and bad. Stretching out a Lamborghini and Ferrari to fit his massive frame is something worth acknowledging and is in truth a justifiable purchase. However we can’t say the same for some horrific modifications, whether it be creating a Terminator themed truck or transforming a 2001 Chevrolet Van into something that a toddler might draw up in art class. We feature the ups and downs from Shaq’s extensive garage. We also include motorcycles, three-wheelers and Slingshots. Yes he is in fact a man that loves variety inside of the garage. Again, for better or worse, we’ll let you decide that.
Enjoy the article folks and like always be sure to share it with a friend. Without further ado here are ten cars in Shaq’s garage worth every dollar and ten that just aren’t worth it. We begin with a stunning 1999 Ferrari that has a certain twist. Let’s get started!
19 Worth Every Dollar: Extended Ferrari 355 Spider
A guy the size of Shaq has no business fitting into a sports car let alone the sleek and slender Ferrari. However this particular purchase of the 1999 355 Spider is one that is well worth the dollar bills. Shaq got the car customized to fit a big man. He still towers in the car but the fact that he can drive it with ease is truly something else. O’Neal talked about the car during an episode of MTV Cribs; “Most 7-footers can’t fit into sports cars. But I can. Over here you have the 355 convertible Spider. It’s a forever convertible because for me to fit, I had to cut the top off forever.” After Shaq sold the car, it led to some controversy as a part of a bust by authorities. The licence plate still read "Shaq F1." However he had no link to the situation.
18 Waste: Customized 2001 Chevrolet G1500
A theme you’ll see quite often in this article is Shaq and his love for customizing cars. For the most part it doesn’t turn out well. Take this van for example. It has no business getting customized in the first place but hey, the guy has money to burn.
He likely showed buyer's regret in the purchase, putting the car up for sale shortly after.
A Louis Vuitton theme interior along with Superman logos throughout the van, it isn’t a car for everyone. The ride also features 20-inch wheels that have no business being on such a van. The air ride suspension makes the car look as though it is driving on the ground. For only $45,000 this van can be yours!
17 Worth Every Dollar: Customized Chopper Trike
Along with fast cars and massive trucks, Shaq also loves his motorcycles. The crush began way back in 2001 when West Coast Choppers created a Laker themed bike for the NBA legend. It is known as "El Diablo." The bike was created to fit Shaq’s mammoth size. It was another item up for bid selling at just under $45,000. The ride wasn’t bad, but nothing compared to this 3-wheel beast purchased in 2014. Purchased at the Underground Garage Motorcycle Shop, the customized ride was extended from 10 feet to 14 feet! It might not be his fastest ride but man is it ever something to look at.
16 Waste: Cadillac Escalade With Modified Doors
There is nothing wrong with Shaq buying an Escalade. It’s the customization job on the car that really hurt the value. From the Superman logo on the front grille to the bizarre Lamborghini inspired doors, such features make you forget that it’s an Escalade. Instead it looks like a toy designed by Shaq for his own personal fun.
The modifications didn’t come cheap either.
The Cadillac includes 26 inch chrome rims, a custom burgundy exterior (which looks awful), Lamborghini front doors, a suede headliner and top of the line sound system. With the mod money alone you can buy a much better ride... Sorry Shaq.
15 Worth Every Dollar: Dodge Challenger Hellcat
Nicknamed the “Shaqcat”, there is nothing to laugh about when looking at this magnificent ride. The car is an absolute beast on the inside with a V8 engine that produces 707 horsepower. Unlike Shaq’s other rides which are very expensive, this car starts at a relatively modest price tag of $63,000. Most would agree that the muscle car is worth every dollar both visually and in terms of the driving experience. The car initially launched back in 1959 with the unveiling of a sleek Coronet Silver Challenger. The first generation of the car would come out in the 1970s. It remains a popular muscle car option to this day.
14 Waste: Vanderhall Venice 3 Wheel Roadster
With a net worth of $400 million and a passion for cars, Shaq isn’t afraid to open up his wallet and make a risky purchase, even if it means some of us laughing at his expense. We’re seeing lots of examples in this article and the 3-wheel Roadster is yet another one.
There's nothing particularly wrong with the small ride.
Just that for someone like O’Neal it seems to be a complete waste of a purchase. He confirmed the buy via Instagram, taking it for a ride around the block and parking it back in his garage next to his massive F-650. The car doesn’t have an absurd value starting at a little bit under $30,000. Despite the added legroom and 18 inch wheels, we still consider it a flop and a ride not worthy of Shaq's garage.
13 Worth Every Dollar: Customized Polaris Slingshot 4-Seater
If you thought Shaq in a Roadster is hilarious he has also spent some serious money on Slingshots in the past. The purchase has gone two ways; this is the positive of the two. Customized by Underground Auto out of the Florida area the sick ride is customized to fit four. It is Shaq’s newest purchase, posting the Polaris to his Instagram account just days ago. It is a unique ride and one guaranteed to make you look twice. The red and black theme is truly something else especially with those sick customized rims. We applaud Shaq for this unique purchase however we can’t say the same for his other Polaris Slingshot buy from the past.
12 Waste: Super-Sized Polaris Slingshot
A ride modified by West Coast Customs let’s just say Shaq would have been fine without the recent purchase. Nicknamed the “Slingshaq”, the ride is altered in order to fit his massive seven foot frame. The result makes the two-seater look a bit like a Roadster. The ride visually still looks too small. The return of those Superman themed seats really doesn’t help things along all that much either. To his credit Shaq was all smiles and shocked when the West Coast Customs team unveiled the sick new extended ride. That’s really all that counts right? He might have brushed it aside these days with his most recent purchase of the four seated Polaris.
11 Worth Every Dollar: Customized Tour Bus
Shaq put his dream home up for sale most recently. As of the end of May his mansion was selling at a whopping $28 million. Seriously speaking O’Neal doesn’t even need to buy another home. He’ll be more than okay in this dream sized tour bus. Shaq posted a photo of the new ride a couple of months back writing in the caption, “Road trip time honk if you see me, I might pull over.” Oh we see you Shaq.
The ride is an absolute beast.
From a truck to a tour bus, the ride is stunning on the outside with the massive Shaq Superman sign along with an homage to his various NBA teams. The front reads “Big Hoffa”, a well suited name for the ride. Who needs a home when you have Big Hoffa by your side?
10 Waste: Terminator Themed F-650
His agent calls him a mix of Bambi and the Terminator. Yes that’s truly odd, but perhaps this is the motive behind this beast of a truck. Have you ever bought something and said why did I just buy this? It’s called buyer’s remorse and to the casual person that happens with an impulse buy like a t-shirt or pair of pants. However for Shaq that takes place with expensive modified cars as you see in the photo above. The truck is truly a beast and one you can say also pays homage to his days with the Miami Heat. However after driving it a couple of times would it lose value? Yes. This truck is huge, but doesn't look like it's designed to do much heavy work.
9 Worth Every Dollar: Customized Sprinter Mercedes Van
This is another jaw dropping ride Shaq can call home. The interior of the car is truly something else with customized wooden floors. The modifications came from a company called Sprinter Vans Of America. They specialize in modifying vans both inside and out. The breathtaking van was on full display during the NASCAR event at the Texas Motor Speedway. Again the true hero is the interior featuring a massive flat screen television, iPad, mini bar and of course top of the line sound system that meets the Shaq necessities. He loves to ride with music and this car is no slouch in that department.
8 Waste: Ford Bronco II
Going back to his first ever ride, Shaq claims the Bronco II was his first truck. When asked why the car he stated that the Bronco song was the main reason for the buy. Although it seems odd for a guy to buy a car because of a song that’s Shaq for you. According to his interview with Rolling Stones his favorite part of getting a truck is just blasting some music and cruising down the street;
“When I’m stressed out, I get into my truck and pump up the volume,” Shaq says. “I get the boom going —1,900 watts — and I go riding around, just thinking, wondering what I want to do. When I get into a good beat,” he adds, “I get a smile, and then I get to laughing, and once I’m laughing, I’m OK. Rap and R&B are what saves me. It’s always been my stress reliever.”
7 Worth Every Dollar: Convertible Dodge Challenger
Like Floyd Mayweather Shaq is another athlete that loves to spoil himself come bday time. Last April was no exception as he unveiled this beast of a ride, a customized Convertible Challenger. If you’re a fan of muscle cars clean up that drool rolling down the side of your mouth! Shaq thanked Jeff Moran for the ride via Instagram with this post; “Thanks to my main man Jeff Moran@droptop_customs for building my convertible challenger for my birthday#summertime is near.” We can safely say that both the Challengers in Shaq’s garage are well worth the affordable (compared to his other rides) price tags.
6 Waste: Mercedes Smart Car
At the very least we can applaud Shaq for buying an environmentally friendly car and one he can save some gas money with. According to Ecorazzi, O’Neal spends a whopping price tag of $23,000 per month on fuel alone! That might sound outrageous but think about his massive trucks for a second and how much they cost to fill up. Yea such a cost is very possible. He could buy the Smart Car with the price of gas per month alone! Although a great car for the environment, Shaq has no business making such a purchase and the very thought of him in the car is ludicrous. It is unknown if he kept the ride though it seems unlikely.
5 Worth Every Dollar: Rolls Royce Phantom
Shaq knows a thing or two about a Rolls Royce Phantom. Not only does he own one but he also bought the ride for both LeBron James and the President of the United States. Shaq is among a long list of athletes that have purchased the Rolls Royce. Floyd Mayweather has a garage filled with the luxury car.
It isn’t all positive when it comes to Rolls-Royce. Shaq recalls his first impulse buy at the dealership during an interview with Vanity Fair; “I was playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, and there’s a Rolls-Royce dealership in Beverly Hills. I always used to ride by it,” he began. “But one day I just went in. Mike Tyson was in there buying a couple of Bentleys. I had on some shorts and a tank top and flip-flops, and I said to the salesman, ‘Sir, how much does this one cost?’ He said, ‘Can you afford it, sonny boy?’ I was so upset that I bought three Bentleys right there on the spot. A million dollars gone in 10 minutes,” he added, quite disapprovingly.”
4 Waste: Buick LaCrosse
Give Buick some credit for signing some major names in the sporting world. Shaq isn’t the only high profile athlete to appear in a commercial for the car. Tiger Woods is another popular face that served as an ambassador in the past. Looking for a new start, Shaq promoted the car trying to sell both luxury and well, plenty of moving space inside of the vehicle. The commercial had quite the impact and helped the new direction of the brand. However in comparison to his other rides the car just isn’t worth it, new direction or not. Most would agree that a Dodge Charger is a favourable choice compared to the Buick.
3 Worth Every Dollar: Stretched Lamborghini Gallardo
Shaq being able to fit in a customized Lambo is just another reason as to why adding those types of doors to his past Escalades makes no sense at all but hey. Customized by Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, the Lambo was specifically modified to fit Shaq’s massive frame. It’s a stretched out Lambo but that takes nothing away from the beauty of the car.
The Gallardo was extended on the roof, doors and windows. According to Motor Authority, the creator George Gaffoglio did his very best to maintain the authentic Lambo look; “We relied on our aerospace and coachworks divisions to make sure Shaq could fit in the car, but the naked eye could not detect any differences from the original Gallardo.”
2 Waste: Customized F-650 Pickup
Just last year Shaq purchased his daily driver that resembles a truck out of a futuristic film more than the average F-650. The truck has a 6.7 liter power stoke V-8 along with 330 horsepower. Yes it is no joke. The truck was initially worth just over $65,000. However following the massive list of modifications that car worth nearly doubled tipping the $124,000 scale. At the base price the car would have been worth it but given all the ridiculous modifications most would argue that it hurt the value of the car more than anything else. Sorry Shaq but your every day rider seems to be a bit of a waste.
1 Worth Every Dollar: Customized Two Door Vaydor
Just a year ago Shaq purchased this magnificent ride and one most can argue is his best car hiding in the O’Neal garage. Customized by Supercraft Custom Crafted Cars the automobile is an absolute joy to look at. Of course the seats, leg room, pedals and lower dash are all modified in order to cater for the big man’s needs.
The blacked out mags and red interior make this convertible Vaydor one worth every single penny.
Although it isn’t necessarily a big man’s car it is still worth every dollar nonetheless. In terms of his favourite rides this one is up there among the top.

Monitoring helps reduce water-quality impacts in flood-irrigated pasture
Northern California has extensive areas of irrigated pasture, which provide critical summer forage for livestock. In many of these systems, water is diverted directly from a stream into ditches or pipes and transported to individual pastures, where it is applied as flood surface irrigation. Our case study of discharges from irrigated pastures on Willow and Lassen creeks in Modoc County illustrates an assessment and monitoring approach for land managers and natural-resources professionals working to resolve water-quality impairments related to agricultural discharges from similar systems. We report correlations between four indicator variables measured in the field and the variables determined in the laboratory, to evaluate the potential for employing a strategic combination of the two.
Northern California has extensive areas of irrigated pasture, which provide critical summer forage for livestock. The irrigation season on these pastures can last from April through September, depending upon factors such as elevation, annual precipitation and site-specific water rights. In many of these irrigated-pasture systems, water is diverted directly from a stream into ditches or pipes and transported to individual pastures, where it is applied as flood surface irrigation. Irrigation frequency varies from continuous to regularly scheduled applications.
It is common for a significant amount of runoff to be generated from pastures during flood irrigation. In previous research, 40% to 70% of irrigation water applied to pastures in the Sierra Nevada foothills became runoff (Bedard-Haughn et al. 2004; Tate et al. 2001). Irrigation runoff can transport non-point-source pollutants such as nutrients, sediment and pathogens into downstream waters as well as increase stream temperatures.
Irrigated pasture provides critical summer forage for California livestock, but the environmental impacts on fish of diverting streams to pastures are coming under increasing regulatory scrutiny. Above, Shannon Cler, UC Davis postgraduate researcher, measures dissolved oxygen in a delivery ditch in lower Lassen Creek.
In the past, such agricultural discharges within the boundaries of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB) were allowed under a conditional waiver granted by the CVRWQCB (2005). The CVRWQCB includes the Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems and tributaries, as well as terminal basins such as the Tulare Basin in the southern Central Valley and Goose Lake in extreme northeastern California. Recent review of this waiver by CVRWQCB — following a petition by concerned stakeholder groups to rescind the waiver — has resulted in a new compliance process for coalitions of agricultural operators, as well as individual operators who discharge irrigation runoff into water bodies within the boundaries of CVRWQCB.
This compliance process has increased the need for efficient methods by which irrigators can (1) assess the quality of irrigation water discharged from their fields, (2) improve the quality of discharges that degrade downstream waters, and (3) monitor to ensure that downstream water-quality degradation is eliminated. Agricultural operators are concerned about the potential costs and management constraints associated with this compliance process. We present the results of an irrigated-pasture case study to illustrate an assessment and monitoring approach for land managers and natural-resources professionals working to resolve water-quality impairments related to agricultural discharges from similar systems.
Modoc County study site
This study was conducted on the lower reaches of Lassen and Willow creeks in northeastern Modoc County (in the northeastern-most corner of California). Stream flow in both streams is generated by snowmelt in the higher elevations of each watershed, with flows peaking in early spring (April until mid-May) and diminishing significantly by the end of July. Stream flow from both creeks is diverted into open irrigation delivery ditches starting in May and ending in June or July, depending upon annual snowpack and stream-flow levels.
A self-cleaning fish screen at a stream-flow diversion on lower Lassen Creek prevents fish from entering irrigation delivery ditches and becoming stranded.
During the 2003 irrigation season, when we conducted our study, flow was diverted through July from Lassen Creek and through June from Willow Creek. Diverted water is applied as flood irrigation continuously to pastures grazed by beef cattle, and during June and the first week of July to hay meadows. A substantial volume of this irrigation water returns to the creek it originally came from both as surface runoff in ditches and shallow swales, and as subsurface flow. There are four pastures in the Lassen and Willow creek systems ranging from 34 to 95 acres, with irrigation application rates (cubic feet per second [cfs] per acre) varying between and within pastures from 0.01 to 0.13 cfs per acre. Total applied water (acre-feet per irrigation event or season) is quite variable, with some pastures receiving 2 to 3 daylong irrigation events and others irrigated continuously.
In late May 2003, 30 permanent sampling locations were established across the Lassen (n = 15) and Willow (n = 15) creek irrigation systems. Sample locations were selected to provide water-quality and flow-volume data from (1) each creek above the irrigation diversion, (2) along all irrigation-water delivery ditches, (3) all pasture surface-runoff ditches and swales immediately above the return of pasture runoff to the natural stream channel, and (4) each creek below all pasture runoff (fig. 1). We did not attempt to sample or measure subsurface return flow, and each site was monitored in June and July.
Flow volume (cfs), electrical conductivity (deciSiemens per meter [dS/m]), turbidity (nephelometric turbidity units [ntu]) and dissolved oxygen (milligrams per liter [mg/L]) were measured weekly at each sampling location using standard field-sampling equipment. In addition, approximately half of all the water samples were analyzed for total suspended solids (TSS), nitrate (NO3), ammonium (NH4), phosphate (PO4), sulfate (SO4), potassium (K) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) using standard laboratory techniques. Water temperature was monitored every half hour at each sampling location in June and July using commercially available automatic recorders.
This sampling strategy allowed us to: (1) examine above and below in-stream water-quality changes due to irrigation; (2) examine changes in water quality as irrigation water passed through delivery ditches and across pastures; (3) account for differences in flow volume for each water source (in-stream/ above, delivery ditch, pasture runoff and in-stream/below); and (4) account for changes in water quality and flow over the course of the 2-month irrigation season. Due to the availability of relatively inexpensive and accurate field meters, four water-quality variables (electrical conductivity, turbidity, water temperature and dissolved oxygen) can serve as “indicators,” which can be monitored frequently in the field with appropriate training and quality-control procedures. In contrast, laboratory-based water-quality analysis (such as of nitrate and phosphate) is relatively expensive and time-sensitive, while sample analysis for other water-quality constituents (such as ammonium or bacteria) must be done within 24 hours of collection.
Delivery ditches transport water from stream diversions and deliver it to irrigated pastures. The authors collected water-quality data from streams above and below such pastures, as well as from pasture runoff and delivery ditches.
Irrigators need field-based, rapid, inexpensive and defensible monitoring tools to use across many acres of pasture, providing real-time data to facilitate daily operational decisions and adaptive management to minimize water-quality impairment. We report correlations between the four indicator variables measured in the field and the variables determined in the laboratory, to evaluate the potential for employing a strategic combination of the two.
Impact on in-stream flow volume
Excessive irrigation diversion can reduce in-stream flow levels, which in turn can result in the reduction of available aquatic habitat, elevated stream temperatures ( see pages 153 and 161 ) and increased pollutant concentrations. Managers can determine the impacts that irrigation practices are having on stream flow by measuring the diversion volume and in-stream flow volumes above and below the system.
Our pasture-runoff estimates are only for surface runoff, because we had no means to estimate subsurface returns to either creek. Stream-flow volumes were lower in Willow Creek than in Lassen Creek (fig. 2). A larger percentage of Willow Creek was diverted for irrigation, with a peak of 78% on July 1, and during the next week irrigation diversion ceased due to dropping water levels. A lower percentage of Lassen Creek was diverted for irrigation, with a peak of about 68% on July 9, and after this, less water was diverted because irrigation was discontinued on about half of the adjacent pasture area due to dropping water levels.
TABLE 1. Statistics for laboratory-determined water-quality variables across Lassen and Willow creek study sites, June-July 2003 irrigation season
This data reveals that the diversion of water to irrigate pastures adjacent to these streams is reducing in-stream flow by 0.5 to 6.0 cfs over the course of the summer, and that stream-flow reductions are more pronounced on Willow Creek than on Lassen Creek. This implies that water quality is more likely to be degraded in Willow Creek due to greater in-stream flow reductions and its reduced ability to buffer against contaminants in return flow.
To assess the cumulative impact of runoff and reduced stream flows on water quality, above and below in-stream monitoring is also needed. Measuring these indicator water-quality variables in the field can provide managers with realtime information on the potential impacts of their irrigation practices (fig. 3).
Electrical conductivity and dissolved nutrients
Electrical conductivity is a measure of the ability of water to conduct electricity (dS/m). It can serve as an inexpensive surrogate for laboratory-based chemical analysis. This is because the electrical conductivity of the water generally increases as the levels of dissolved pollutants (such as nitrate, ammonium, phosphate, sulfate and potassium) increases.
However, laboratory-based chemical analysis on a subset of samples is also necessary to appropriately interpret conductivity data from individual systems. Stream-flow diversions can increase conductivity by concentrating the existing dissolved pollutants within the stream and transporting new pollutants from pastures in runoff. In-stream conductivity was significantly higher (P = 0.005) below the irrigation systems on both Lassen and Willow creeks, indicating that at least some dissolved constituent concentrations did increase as a result of irrigation diversion and return (fig. 3).
Laboratory analysis indicated that the increase in electrical conductivity observed below the irrigation systems was at least in part due to increases in the concentrations of potassium and sulfate (tables 1 and 2). While these increases do not represent a significant water-quality problem, they indicate the loss of important plant nutrients from the pastures (table 1). In addition, mineral nitrogen levels appeared to be low in these streams and pastures, with nitrate and ammonium levels only slightly above detection limits (0.001 ppm), and well below those of water-quality concern (for example: the nitrate drinking-water standard is 10 ppm, and mineral nitrogen [nitrate plus ammonium] stream-eutrophication levels of concern are greater than 0.1 ppm) (table 1). While phosphate concentrations in pasture runoff were above levels of concern for stream eutrophication (> 0.01 ppm), they did not appear to increase below the irrigation system.
When considering water-quality parameters such as nutrients and sediments, it is important to examine both concentration and load (concentration times flow volume). For instance, given that flow volume is reduced below the irrigation system, there is no likely increase in the phosphate load due to this particular irrigation system. In addition, it is also prudent to examine total nitrogen and phosphorus levels in runoff in a complete evaluation for water-quality impacts.
Turbidity, total suspended solids and dissolved organic carbon
Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness or opaqueness of a water sample, and it increases with the level of suspended solids (such as particulate organic matter and sediments ≫ 0.45 micrometer [μm] in size) and dissolved solids (such as dissolved organic carbon < 0.45 μm in size)(table 1). The transport of organic matter and sediment in pasture runoff can increase in-stream turbidity levels; however, well-vegetated pastures can also serve as sinks, or filters, for suspended solids. Furthermore, when stream water used for municipal drinking water has high levels of certain types of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), the chlorination process can generate carcinogenic byproducts (Krasner et al. 1989).

Fig. 3. Indicator water-quality levels in (A) Lassen and (B) Willow creek irrigated-pasture systems, June and July 2003.
The levels of turbidity and total suspended solids were not significantly higher below than above the irrigation systems on Lassen and Willow creeks (P = 0.35)(fig. 3, table 1). However, during the first 3 weeks of irrigation on Lassen Creek, the turbidity of the runoff was elevated. This is likely due to an initial flushing of suspended and dissolved solids from the pastures (Tate et al. 2001). The turbidity of irrigation water increases as it travels through delivery ditches, which are bare earth and add suspended solids via erosion (table 1). As the irrigation water travels across these well-vegetated pastures, total suspended solids and turbidity are reduced due to filtration, as demonstrated by the relatively low levels in pasture runoff. However, as water moves through the system, DOC increases slowly but steadily and is slightly higher in the creeks below the pastures.
Dissolved oxygen and temperature
Dissolved oxygen and stream temperature are critical variables in determining habitat quality for cold-water fisheries and stream mac-roinvertebrates. The concern is that irrigation systems can reduce dissolved oxygen below critical levels (4 to 6 mg/L) and raise stream temperatures to levels suboptimal (67°F to 76°F) and lethal (> 77°F) for cold-water fisheries. Dissolved oxygen in a stream has a natural diurnal pattern: levels are highest in mid- to late afternoon due to oxygen production by photosynthe-sizing aquatic plants, and are lowest before dawn due to the plants' nighttime respiration (oxygen consumption). Dissolved oxygen can be decreased by adding nutrients (which can stimulate aquatic plant growth and so oxygen consumption due to respiration), by reduced stream flow (which decreases water mixing and, in turn, reoxygenation) and by increased stream temperature. Water temperature can be increased by reduced stream flow and as well as by flow in shallow sheets across pastures ( see page 161 ). In some instances, water temperatures are lower in irrigation discharge that returns to streams beneath the soil surface (Stringham et al. 1998); however, these subsurface water returns often also have low dissolved-oxygen levels.
Minimum and mean dissolved-oxygen levels were reduced in pasture runoff from Willow and Lassen creeks, but within a significantly variable range (fig. 3). This variability was due to the amount of turbulence (mixing) in each runoff ditch and swale sampled, with turbulent pasture runoff having the highest dissolved-oxygen levels. Since dissolved oxygen is dependent upon the time of day, a direct comparison of readings from different times is difficult. All of our reported readings were made between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Linear regression analysis indicated that there was no significant effect of time of reading on dissolved-oxygen levels under our sample strategy (P > 0.1). If dissolved-oxygen levels are of significant concern, managers should take readings at predawn or dawn, when levels are at their lowest.
The effect of these irrigation systems on daily maximum stream temperature varied (fig. 3). In Willow Creek, stream temperatures were increased as much as 5°F below the pastures. This could be due to the observed warming of pasture runoff, in-stream flow reductions, or most likely a combination of both processes. In contrast, in Lassen Creek, stream temperatures were the same above and below the pastures. Pasture runoff was actually cooler by several degrees than the original stream temperature. Additional monitoring and observation are needed to determine why return flows are cooler in Lassen Creek, but identifying the reason could lead to the development of management strategies to reduce the temperature of agricultural discharges from these systems.

It is important to note that stream temperatures in Willow Creek are inherently 5°F to 10°F warmer than in Lassen Creek ( see page 161 ). In addition, the percentage of stream flow diverted from Willow Creek is much greater (30% to 40%) than from Lassen Creek (fig. 2), resulting in lower remaining in-stream flow levels, which we have shown can increase stream temperatures ( see page 161 ). Moreover, pasture-surface runoff volumes are approximately the same in the two creek systems, but pasture runoff is a larger component of in-stream flow below the pastures on Willow Creek. Thus, the temperature of pasture runoff is more likely to influence in-stream temperatures on Willow Creek. It is possible that there is more subsurface return of pasture runoff on Lassen Creek, which could be cooler than surface returns (Stringham et al. 1998). Cooler surface return flows from Lassen Creek could be the result of the re-emergence of infiltrated water at the bottom of fields.
Managers can use site-specific information to alter variables such as irrigation timing and frequency, in order to mitigate water-quality impacts. Don Lancaster, UCCE Modoc County natural resources advisor, monitors the delivery ditch in an irrigated pasture.
Irrigation rates and water quality
Site-specific information on how irrigation decisions affect agricultural discharge and stream water quality is of particular value to managers, who control practices such as the application rate and frequency of irrigation. If runoff water quality is a problem, opportunities to reduce those impacts via alternative irrigation practices should always be investigated. While the graphical analysis shown allows one to observe and evaluate pollutant levels in discharge above and below the management system, this approach provides limited guidance on opportunities to improve discharge quality. If variables (such as irrigation-water application rate, irrigation frequency and fertilization levels) are monitored and quantified simultaneously with the water-quality and flow data, all the data can be analyzed to identify the relationships between management decisions and resulting water quality.
To illustrate, we examined this data set for relationships between irrigation-water application rate (cfs/acre), flow volume (cfs) and water source (in-stream/above, delivery ditch, pasture runoff and in-stream/below), electrical conductivity, turbidity and dissolved oxygen. We used a linear mixed-effects analysis. The fixed effects were irrigation application rate, flow volume and water source. Day (June 1 = 1, July 31 = 61) was included as a fixed effect to account for seasonal trends in variables such as stream flow. Sample location was treated as a group effect to account for codependence due to repeated measurements (Pinheiro and Bates 2000). Electrical conductivity and turbidity data were natural log transformed to normalize residuals. This analysis provides a robust determination of differences in water quality above and below the pasture systems, with statistical control of flow-volume differences (fig. 4)( see page 161 ). The full results of this analysis are not shown, rather plots depicting significant (P ≪ 0.05) relationships between irrigation management and water quality in delivery ditches, pasture runoff and in-stream/below are presented and discussed; the full analysis is available upon request from the lead author.
Electrical conductivity for delivery ditch, pasture runoff and in-stream/below increased significantly as irrigation application rate increased, responding to the potential for increasing pollutant transport. Conductivity was also positively correlated to day, indicating that levels increased as the season progressed (fig. 3).
A significant, negative, irrigation-rate-by-day interaction indicates that the increase in electrical conductivity realized with increased irrigation application rate became less pronounced as the season progressed, due to the flushing and loss of available soluble pollutants for transport from the pasture. It is possible that this conductivity increase became less pronounced over time because the longer a pasture is irrigated, the fewer available soluble pollutants remain to be flushed out and transported from the pasture. This tapering conductivity increase may also be due to the uptake of available soluble nutrients by pasture grasses as plant growth rates increase in the summer. A significant negative relationship between flow volume and electrical conductivity accounts for the potential dilution of additional volume, given a relatively limited soluble pollutant supply. This further illustrates the importance of measuring flow simultaneously when collecting water-quality samples. Reductions in irrigation application rates will result in lowered levels of dissolved pollutant transport from pastures and higher downstream flow volumes, which can dilute solutes returned as pasture runoff.
Water-quality variables such as dissolved oxygen and stream temperature are dependent upon factors such as stream flow and shade. Lassen Creek flows through a meadow reach with a naturally low vegetative canopy.
There was a positive, significant relationship between irrigation rate and turbidity, reflecting an increasing flushing and transportation potential for total suspended solids with increasing irrigation application rate. However, there was a significant irrigation-rate-by-water-source interaction, indicating that the positive relationship was only valid for in-stream/below and delivery ditches (fig. 4B). Pasture runoff turbidity was not dependent upon irrigation rate, indicating the capacity of the pasture to act as a filter and remove suspended solids contributed by source water and bare delivery ditches. As with electrical conductivity, there was a negative interaction between irrigation rate and day, indicating that the increase in turbidity realized with increased irrigation application rate becomes less pronounced as the season progresses.
Fig. 5. Relationship between dissolved oxygen and flow volume developed from linear mixed-effects analysis of data collected from Willow and Lassen creeks, June and July 2003.
These results indicate that, as with soluble nutrients, reductions in irrigation application rate will reduce turbidity levels in pasture runoff. These pastures appear to have the capacity to serve as sinks for solids (sediment and particulate organic matter) in source water and contributed by delivery ditches, but when the irrigation rate exceeds about 0.09 cfs per acre (in this instance, given these pasture sizes), this filtering capacity is exceeded and in-stream turbidity levels below the pasture become higher than above.
Dissolved-oxygen levels in delivery ditches, pasture run-off and in-stream/below were directly related to flow volume (fig. 5). In this system, flow volume in delivery ditches, pasture return and in-stream/below were determined by irrigation application rate, so that dissolved oxygen was indeed affected by irrigation management. Flow velocity and turbulence increased as flow volume increased, resulting in greater oxygenation and thus dissolved-oxygen levels at higher flow volumes. Pasture return had the greatest correlation to flow volume, indicating that low dissolved-oxygen levels in return flow were offset at high runoff volumes. In-stream/below dissolved-oxygen levels were also positively related to flow volumne.
These results indicate that maintaining in-stream flow volumes by reducing diversion volumes will reduce the impact that these irrigated-pasture systems have on in-stream dissolved-oxygen levels. In addition, increasing pasture runoff volume will increase dissolved-oxygen levels in return flow. However, this will also increase the potential for the transport of pollutants from pastures (fig. 5). Water managers should identify and implement opportunities to reduce return flow volume, but also allow for the mixing of return flow, such as weirs, plunge-pools and cobbled return ditches.
While some water-quality variables in the studied streams were impaired by stream diversions and flood irrigation, the impacts were relatively low and measures to mitigate them are available. Irrigated pasture on Willow Creek provides forage to livestock and sometimes pronghorn antelope.
Management and monitoring
Compliance with water-quality standards and targets will continue to be a major challenge for California agriculturalists who discharge water from irrigated fields and pastures. This case study is an example of how to employ water-quality monitoring techniques and logic to address specific information needs to aid or facilitate compliance with water-quality standards. The information gathered under this approach indicates that while some water-quality impairment is associated with stream diversion and flood irrigation on these particular streams, these impacts are relatively small and there are clear measures available to mitigate them. Similar techniques and logic can be applied to other agricultural systems to address similar concerns (such as pesticides and pathogens) and to provide management solutions.
Indicator water-quality variables such as electrical conductivity, turbidity, water temperature and dissolved oxygen should be considered to supplement laboratory-based water-quality analyses. Electrical conductivity can be a valuable real-time indicator of increased dissolved pollutant concentrations in runoff or receiving bodies of water. Some conductivity and dissolved pollutant data must be collected simultaneously to establish site-specific correlations and to ensure the proper interpretation of the conductivity data.
Critical components of waterquality compliance include farm-scale assessments of agricultural discharges, potential water-resource impairments, and the implementation of management measures and effectiveness monitoring. In developing such on-farm programs, agriculturalists should establish specific monitoring objectives as well as a framework of sample-site location and collection frequency that is synchronous with agricultural discharge patterns. Farm-scale monitoring programs should target the specific pollutants of concern in receiving waters (such as a stream with high nitrogen levels) and on-site agricultural practices that could generate the pollutant (such as nitrogen fertilization of a pasture). For instance, we would have included indicator bacteria (such as fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli) in our monitoring if Lassen and Willow creeks were sources of municipal drinking-water supplies. Opportunities to use monitoring data to quantify relationships between specific agricultural management practices and resulting water quality should be capitalized upon to increase both site-specific knowledge and the return on financial investments in monitoring.

Henry said the case is a good reminder that while COVID-19 is generally less severe in children, no age group is immune from suffering serious illness caused by the novel coronavirus.
MIS-C is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs.
So far, it's understood that MIS-C can lead to a prolonged fever, while patients also have two of the following symptoms: abdominal pain, vomiting or diarrhea, and a rash on both sides of the body. While it is unknown exactly what causes the condition, many children with MIS-C had the virus that causes COVID-19 or had been around someone with COVID-19. We offer our condolences to everyone who has lost their loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I just came across some dating advice, that, for the lack of a better word, I found dismaying. BroBible.com (I know, it’s like the blind leading the blind…) was giving advice to men about 5 times you need to call the girl . Besides some of these things being blatantly obvious, like calling on holidays… the tone of this article is creepy. It’s almost an article for guys that are dating their f*** buddy, and need to make the obligatory call to keep her on the line.
If you HATE picking up the phone to call someone you’re dating, then why in the hell are you dating her? You should be with someone you love to talk to. If you replace all communication with a girl with texting… then why even bother?
I really don’t like this attitude from men I see in the media that women are these bothersome, annoying, emotional, crazy things that men can’t stand to talk to. Let me put it to you this way, if you think the girl you’re dating is crazy and can’t stand her you could be:
1) Totally right, she’s bonkers, she has tattoos on her eyebrows and refers to herself in the third person while talking with her imaginary pony. She’s certifiably crazy.
2) You’re having trouble relating to girls and would rather label her “crazy” than to learn how girls are. Instead of trying to understand her point of view, you rather only see everything from your perspective and put her down.
Women KNOW how men are. Through media, movies, EVERYTHING out there teaches women what men are like. But there is barely any representation of what women are like besides being the Lois or Meg of Family Guy (oh, I’m finally going there). Lois is the woman you want to marry, the partner, the sex kitten of your dreams. Meg is the sister. The girl you’re not attracted to at all, and you know what that means? If you’re not attracted to her and she isn’t a man, you have no interest at all in caring who she is, so you make fun of her and treat her less than human, because if she isn’t a man and isn’t attractive, why is she here?
What I’m trying to get at, is that, yes guys, you need to try a little harder to UNDERSTAND women. And what I’m also trying to say is if you assume all girls are crazy and you can’t date anyone sane, then you have to treat her like a thing to keep her “interested” until you’re ready to let her go… why are you bothering at all?
Like, seriously, just wait for the right person to come by that is totally amazing and gets you than to settle with crazy girl that you don’t even like talking on the phone with.
So, what it all comes down to is this, if you don’t like the girl you’re dating enough to call her JUST BECAUSE, then it’s time you start dating someone else, because honey, you’re settling and you’ll never be happy. You’ll be a lot happier finding another girl you like calling. So, don’t waste her time sticking around and don’t waste your time just because you want a bedfellow.
Life is too short to play those stupid games. And besides, every moment you waste with “crazy girl you don’t even like” is another minute wasted where you could be finding “the most amazing girl ever”.

Summary of Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights is a famous novel written by Emily Brontë. First published in 1847, it tells the story of Heathcliff, an orphan boy who is taken in by the Earnshaw family and grows up with their children, Catherine and Hindley. Catherine and Heathcliff develop a deep and intense bond, but when Catherine decides to marry Edgar Linton, Heathcliff is devastated and runs away.
Years later, Heathcliff returns to Wuthering Heights as a wealthy and powerful man. He seeks revenge on those who wronged him and sets his sights on Catherine’s daughter, Cathy. Cathy is drawn to Heathcliff, but her love for Edgar Linton ultimately leads her down a tragic path.
The novel is framed as a series of narratives, with the story being told by different characters. The first narrator is Lockwood, a tenant who rents Thrushcross Grange, the nearby property owned by the Linton family. Lockwood is curious about the area’s history and becomes fascinated with the story of Heathcliff and the Earnshaws.
The different narrators give the reader a glimpse into the complex and often violent relationships between the characters. Heathcliff is a deeply troubled individual consumed by his desire for revenge. Catherine, meanwhile, is torn between her love for Heathcliff and her desire for social status and wealth.
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is a classic novel that has captured the imagination of readers for over 170 years. Set in the rugged Yorkshire moors, it tells the story of Heathcliff, an orphan boy who is taken in by the wealthy Earnshaw family and falls in love with their daughter, Catherine. But their love is doomed, as Catherine chooses to marry someone else, and his desire for revenge consumes Heathcliff.
One of the most striking aspects of Wuthering Heights is the intense and complex characters. Heathcliff, in particular, is a character who has fascinated readers for generations. He is both villain and victim, cruel and sympathetic, and his motivations are often shrouded in mystery. Some readers have interpreted him as a symbol of nature’s dark, brooding power. In contrast, others see him as a critique of Victorian society’s social norms and conventions.
Catherine, too, is a fascinating character, torn between her love for Heathcliff and her desire for social status and security. Her decision to marry Edgar Linton, a man she does not love, is a pivotal moment in the novel and sets the tragic events that follow in motion.
Another notable aspect of Wuthering Heights is its structure. The novel is framed as a series of nested narratives, with the story being told by different characters at different times. This technique allows Brontë to explore the same events from multiple perspectives, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.
At its core, Wuthering Heights is a novel about love, revenge, and the destructive power of obsession. Brontë does not shy away from depicting the darker aspects of human nature, and the novel is full of violence, cruelty, and manipulation. But it is also a novel that celebrates the power of nature, the enduring bonds of love, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Major Themes in the Novel
Several themes run through the novel, some of which are discussed below.
- Love and Revenge: One of the novel’s primary themes is love and revenge. The novel explores the destructive nature of revenge and the power of love. Heathcliff embodies this theme as he seeks revenge on those who have wronged him while obsessing over Catherine, his true love. The love between Catherine and Heathcliff is intense, but their passion is destructive and ultimately leads to their tragic end.
- Class and Society: Another central theme of Wuthering Heights is class and society. The novel portrays the rigid class system of Victorian England and how it affects the characters’ lives. The Earnshaws are of a lower class, while the Lintons are of a higher social class. This difference in status is a significant barrier between Catherine and Heathcliff’s relationship. It also drives Heathcliff to seek revenge on those who have looked down upon him and his social status.
- Nature and the Supernatural: The moors play a significant role in the novel, and the natural world is an essential theme. The harsh and rugged landscape of the moors represents the wildness and unpredictability of human emotions. The supernatural is also present in the novel, with the ghost of Catherine haunting Heathcliff and the possibility of a supernatural connection between Catherine and Heathcliff.
- Identity and Self-Destruction: The theme of identity and self-destruction is present in Wuthering Heights, particularly in the character of Heathcliff. Heathcliff’s identity is shaped by his past and experiences, ultimately leading to his self-destructive behavior. His desire for revenge and obsessive love for Catherine leads to his downfall and destruction.
Thus, Wuthering Heights is a complex novel with several themes that explore the human condition. Love, revenge, class, society, nature, the supernatural, identity, and self-destruction are just a few of the themes that make Wuthering Heights a classic piece of literature that continues to captivate readers today.

It was right after bringing some of our artists to the Cosmo Hunks go-see. They didn’t eat the whole day so they were understandably starving.
One of our really talented actors, Lucho Ayala, was the one who recommended for us to go to Frankie’s. Since we were in Pasig, he suggested for us to have dinner at Frankie’s in City Golf Plaza, Pasig.
We had a dozen of their Classic Buffalo Wings, which I really liked coz they were tangy and spicy. We also got half a dozen of their Hickory BBQ Wings, which I also loved coz they’re really tasty (it’s coz they don’t skimp on the sauce). I asked for a cup of rice, but didn’t finish it coz I ate a lot of the wings.
It was love at first bite. What’s not to love? The wings are big and as I mentioned earlier, they don’t skimp on ingredients. And they’re pretty affordable. P188 for six pieces of wings (half are those anorexic wings, and half are the meatier, bigger ones) – not bad.
Recently, I got to taste some of the other flavors.
The Cheesy Bacon Wings are swimming in yummy cheese sauce and generously topped with bacon bits. As in there’s enough cheese sauce for all six pieces if you get the half dozen.
The Honey Garlic Wings are another favorite of mine. It is drenched in a honey sauce that is sweet but not THAT sweet. I love it so much and I thought Sadako would like them, too, so I had a box of half a dozen wings for take-out.
And then they have the Salted Egg Wings. Not hating on them for jumping on the bandwagon coz their offering is pretty good. I like that they’re slightly spicy. And while my officemate thought they’re a little too salty, I thought they’re just okay especially when you eat them with rice na.
Not gonna lie, I am a big fan of Frankie’s. In fact, I can’t wait to check out the other flavors (I still haven’t tasted Salt and Pepper, Garlic Parmesan, Caribbean Jerk, Nagoya Tebasaki, Smokey BBQ, Honey Mustard, Adobo, Korean, and what they call Kevin’s Bacon Wings.

Memories of Madagascar and Slavery in the Black Atlantic is a brave attempt to analyze the historical documentation relating to the movement of Malagasy slaves to Virginia and the recollections passed down among descendants of those captives. The specific focus is recondite to an extent, because the flow of slaves covered in the book was relatively small in scale and is not usually associated with histories of Virginia. Madagascar, as one might suppose from its location, mainly supplied slaves to the Indian Ocean world. However, between 1670 and 1698, an unknown number of Malagasy slaves were dispatched to New York, and between 1716 and 1721, around 1,500 Malagasy captives were shipped to Virginia and sold there. This latter cohort forms the basis of this book’s analysis regarding memories of the Malagasy slaves’ presence in Virginian society. The book later broadens its remit to discuss the possible Malagasy impact on the...

- Since the news broke that President Donald Trump contracted COVID-19, accurate information about his illness has been hard to come by.
- White House officials and the president’s doctors have not been straightforward about the Trump’s condition and the timeline of his diagnosis.
- Here is a breakdown of their contradictions so far.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
News broke that President Donald Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus with a tweet he posted at 12:54 a.m. ET on Friday. In the days since, statements from the White House and Trump’s own physician have muddied the waters, and the public is still largely in the dark about the state of the president’s health.
Here is a breakdown of the contradictions and cover-ups surrounding Trump’s illness.
- In an interview with Fox News on Thursday night, Trump told host Sean Hannity he had just learned that his adviser, Hope Hicks, tested positive for the virus. The White House has now acknowledged that at the time he spoke to Hannity, Trump had already tested positive himself on a rapid test and was awaiting results from a second test.
- Trump was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday afternoon, “out of an abundance of caution,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said at the time. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows later painted a dimmer picture of Trump’s health on Friday when he was hospitalized. “He had a fever and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly,” he told Fox News on Saturday evening.
- On Saturday, White House physician Sean Conley told reporters that “yesterday and today” Trump had not been treated with supplemental oxygen. On Sunday, however, Conley disclosed that the president was indeed given oxygen: “I didn’t want to give any information that might steer the course

A civil society grouping called National Advocacy Platform (NAP) is demanding swift action in addressing the pastoral letter concerns.
The Catholic Bishops under the Episcopal Conference of Malawi (ECM) released the letter on Sunday titled the ‘Sad Story for Malawi’.
The letter criticized President Lazarus Chakwera’s leadership, describing it as greedy and lacking seriousness in tackling corruption.
The bishop’s fear that serious socioeconomic challenges will persists, saying the Chakwera leadership disregards advice from the clergy.
NAP chairperson Benedicto Kondowe said: “The government should consciously reflect on issues which various stakeholders have raised, one of them being the Catholic Bishops through the pastoral letter.”
He further urged the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) led administration to fulfil their promise of being a servant government.
In a recent interview with www.capitalradiomalawi.com, government responded to the pastoral letter through their spokesperson Moses Kunkuyu saying they acknowledged issues raised in the pastoral letter.


HMS Argyll navy torpedo fired into Devonport wharf
A Royal Navy warship torpedo was accidentally fired into a dockyard wharf, it has emerged.
HMS Argyll was on a "training exercise" at Devonport dockyard in Plymouth when the torpedo "unexpectedly jettisoned onto the wharf", said the Royal Navy.
It said the Test Variant Torpedo was a dummy weapon with no explosive content, but it did cause minor damage.
There were no casualties involved in the incident on Wednesday, but training has been suspended.
'Avoid any repeat'
The navy said the torpedo flew "a couple of metres" through the air before becoming caught in fencing on the wharf.
No-one was on the jetty at the time of firing, the navy confirmed.
"The torpedo caused minor damage to an adjacent security fence inside the naval base where it landed," it said in a statement.
"The result of the investigation will determine what actions will be necessary to avoid any repeat of this incident in the future."
Plymouth-based HMS Argyll, which was built in the late 1980s, is the longest-serving Type 23 frigate in the Royal Navy.
The navy's website states that following a £20m refit it is "one of the most up-to-date and capable frigates in the fleet".
Last year, it was involved in anti-drugs operations in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Its commanding officer, Paul Hammond, has served with the navy since 1991.

Tourism is back and thriving |
Kerrville tourism is back and thriving.
Julie Davis, president of the Kerrville Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, hosted Kerrville town officials at an annual update luncheon last week, offering positive details from Dean Runyan Associates’ 2021 report, showing a dramatic increase of local tourism that even obscures pre-COVID numbers.
According to Davis, Kerrville’s travel-related jobs are back to 2020 levels at 1,040, while earnings from those same jobs are up 9% to a total of $31.4 million.
“The really good number is that sales tax revenue is $3.4 million here locally, which is a 34% increase from 2020, but a 22% increase from 2019, c is so exciting,” Davis said. “It clearly shows that the improving trend in our economy is there.”
She said direct travel expenditures amounted to $89.9 million, an increase of 34% from 2020 and 17% from 2019.
Hospitality business tax recoveries exceeded $1.6 million. This number is directly related to hotel and motel stays and is a tax collected at the time of stay. This number has also increased dramatically over the previous two years, reaching 36% in 2020 and 13% before the COVID-19 pandemic.
HOT collections are important because this money goes directly into the coffers of the town of Kerrville and is reinvested in the community.
“So far this year in May, we’re up 14% for 2022,” Davis said.
Davis said the increase can be directly attributed to marketing and planning efforts by CVB’s staff and board.
She said that in 2021, the Kerrville CVB completed a two-year strategic plan, created virtual tours for digital marketing, produced an “Explore Kerrville Guide”, developed and launched four new Explore Kerrville videos and updated photography for CVB advertising, brochures and website. .
Davis said local attractions were highlighted in video tours and marketed on CVB’s website and social media.
“We are in the final stages of production on our Explore Kerrville guide, which is very exciting,” Davis said. “This is a brand new visitor guide for Kerrville. I hope to have it in my hands within the next 30 days and start sharing it with everyone.
Looking to the future, Davis said CVB’s board has implemented a strategic plan to capitalize on successes and find areas to improve Kerrville’s outreach.
“Our board has met three times with an animator from Austin,” Davis said. “There have been a lot of conversations about the things we can change…what works and what doesn’t. The facilitator also interviewed 10 community members and stakeholders. »
Davis said community members interviewed included government officials, private industry leaders and representatives of area attractions.
“We took all of this information and aggregated it and set our goals for the next two years on what we want to improve and change,” Davis said.
She said the exercise led to the decision to improve brand awareness by creating rich media banners, videos and print ads; educate consumers about the brand and drive traffic to the CVB website through native stories and social media; and generate conversions on Internet search engines.
Through all the research and information gathering, Davis said specific details of Kerrville visitors had been obtained, saying CVB staff could identify who was currently coming, how long they were staying and where from. they came.
According to Davis data, 85% of tourists travel to Kerrville from elsewhere in Texas, while 56% of those visitors return to the area from 150 miles away.
Visitors to Kerrville are generally between the ages of 45 and 64, and each visit lasts an average of three days.
She said of the tourists who visited last year from out of state, they came primarily from California, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona and Louisiana.
Davis said the proposed budget for CVB is $1,075,000, of which 22% is for staff, 10% for the physical visitor center and the bulk of funds for promotion and advertising sales at $732,925.
She said the proposed budget includes an increase that is attributed to inflation and costs associated with additional promotion.

Plastic waste is a significant issue in Southeast Asia, causing problems such as food chain contamination, adverse health effects from microplastics, and pollution of land, water, and air. This environmental problem arises from factors like inadequate solid waste management systems, unsustainable plastic production and consumption patterns, urbanisation, and economic growth.
In response to this challenge, Access Partnership collaborated with Food Industry Asia (FIA) in 2020 and 2022 to assess the understanding of plastic waste issues in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam – countries that significantly contribute to marine plastic pollution. This study aimed to comprehend the attitudes of businesses and consumers towards plastic waste, their current efforts in addressing the issue, and perspectives on the best approaches to tackle these problems. The study also tracks changes in perspectives from 2020 to 2022, overlapping with events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key findings of this study include:
- Although consumers express concern about plastic waste, their habits are not changing. While 88% of consumers are concerned about plastic waste issues, only approximately half of them are willing to switch to products made from recycled materials. This finding is consistent with the 2020 results.
- While consumers are currently committed to reducing their environmental impact, they are keen to broaden their efforts to tackle plastic waste and take further 3R actions in the future. For instance, while only 33% of consumers currently abstain from buying products with non-recyclable packaging, a significant 55% express interest in doing so in the future.
- Businesses recognise that their current efforts are insufficient. Although 85% of businesses express concern about plastic waste issues, only 53% believe that their current actions are sufficient.
- Business targets related to plastic waste need to be strengthened. While 88% of businesses have targets to address plastic waste, the majority (72%) only communicate these targets internally.
- Many businesses have yet to engage in industry collaborations to address plastic waste issues. Over half of businesses (54 percent) in the five countries are not engaged in any group tackling plastic waste issues. In Malaysia and Vietnam, participation in such groups has increased by over ten percentage points compared to 2020. However, this figure has decreased by 20 percentage points in Indonesia and Thailand.
- Both consumers and businesses want and expect further action by governments. Consumers and businesses recognise that governments are concerned with plastic waste. Key actions by government considered most critical include enhancing waste collection systems, mandating waste segregation, providing more financial incentives on recycling, and developing labels for sustainable packaging.

Joined-up thinking, working with partners and training more construction professionals would help solve our housing crisis, writes Iain Whyte
We must end homelessness. We have a housing crisis. We must build more homes and make them cheaper to rent.
We all agree with these aims for the council. But if you want to do something about it you need to have a workable strategy. Regrettably, our council is much better at the bold vision than it is with the delivery of better outcomes.
The vision says we will “Deliver a programme to build at least 10,000 social and affordable homes over the next five years, with a plan to build 20,000 by 2027.” But it doesn’t say how this will be achieved and the strategy that backs it up talks of “challenges” in finding both land and funding. It’s optimistic projection doesn’t quite reach the 10,000 “affordable” housing completions needed to meet the pledge by 2022.
The truth is that Edinburgh has never seen more than 680 council and housing association homes completed in any year of the last 22 and the average is just 376. But more worryingly for this plan is building capacity, with peak completions of new homes across all tenure types at 3588 in 2004/5. Even with the private sector building to peak market demand there are only five years in the last 22 when more than 2000 new homes were completed in the city.
The call to build more council housing is, itself, fraught with danger. I have no difficulty with providing social housing but I remember the bad old days of the 1980s and 1990s when council housing was the political plaything of the left in Scottish politics.
We would swing from vote buying rent freezes pre-election to huge increases the year after to make up money. Standards dropped and repairs were poor as tenants became the political plaything of councillors seeking an electoral fiefdom and happy trade unions. This was a thing of the past with the move to social housing being provided by housing associations but it seems the SNP have forgotten about the bad old days as they insist that new housing is built to be administered by councils.
But most worrying of all are the contradictions of this council administration’s wider policies and their slavish adherence to their allies in the Green Party.
We have even had the spectacle of councillors suggesting refusing planning permission for sizeable developments of new homes because they are unhappy with the amount of bike parking.
And private developers are often made to feel like pariahs with some of the planning committee naturally disposed against them. How does that solve a “housing crisis”?
They also find it impossible to balance the “community aspirations” they whip up with the realities of the need for more housing land supply and greater housing density in a constrained city. And even their tram line doesn’t go to Granton where the biggest new housing site has been identified.
It is time to sit down and revisit this taking a strategic approach. First and foremost, our various transport, planning and housing policies should link in a coherent way. Second, we need to find new ways to train more construction professionals if we are ever going to accelerate housebuilding. And finally, we need to work much better with partners like private developers and housing associations as the most obvious lesson is that the council can’t succeed on housing on its own.
Cllr Iain Whyte is the Conservative group leader at Edinburgh City Council
