6. Final reflections
The Scottish Government is committed to reviewing the modernisation of crofting law within this Parliamentary session. This consultation sought views on the type of new legislation that may be required and priorities for crofting.
As highlighted throughout this report, the comments submitted by the 122 respondents to this consultation were diverse, making it challenging to identify any clear themes. This is perhaps typified by responses to whether or not respondents agreed with Scottish Government crofting policy, where views were almost evenly divided. In this instance, closer analysis showed that most of the responses focused on specific aspects of wording of the policy, rather than calling for a fundamental change.
There were also parts of the consultation where the views expressed by respondents were, at times, in opposition to each other. For example, the issue of Absenteeism, Misuse and Neglect was one where increased sanctions and enforcement were desired by some respondents, whilst others argued for flexibility and support. Tightly defined duties and vigorously applied sanctions for breaches are not likely to be compatible with a flexible approach.
In terms of best approach for any future legislation, by some margin the strongest support was for Option 4, a Bill setting out ‘new’ crofting law. However, this was favoured by less than half of the overall total number of respondents, with a significant proportion (almost a quarter) favouring Option 2, a Bill amending existing legislation/pre-consolidation Bill.
Other than there being a reasonable body of opinion behind Option 4, a Bill setting out new crofting law, there was little else to emerge in terms of clear consensus that points to any individual option being the favoured approach. For example, although a degree of priority was placed on Absenteeism, Misuse and Neglect and Crofting Commission Regulatory Functions, other legislative priorities also received support. Overall, the differences across the legislative priorities were not significant, making it harder to identify the way forward with any clarity.
This range of opinion was reflected in the comments on each of the specific priorities where suggestions for changes were sometimes pulling in opposite directions. For example, some respondents favoured a stronger role locally for Grazings Committees, whilst others thought they should be abolished. In other parts of the consultation respondents focused their attention more on policy or administrative changes, for example in relation to the functions and processes of the Crofting Commission. Whilst undoubtedly useful, these do not give any clear steer for future legislation.
The consultation paper noted that the views submitted to this public consultation exercise would be used to help shape any new Crofting Bill to be brought before Scottish Parliament. Overall, as illustrated above, there was little in way of clear consensus to suggest what should be contained within any Bill, albeit the largest proportion of respondents did think that Bill should be setting out new crofting legislation.

The polar response of a multi-pattern double diaphragm condenser microphone is controlled by an electrical circuit. We study the acoustical circuit which is build up between both diaphragms. To our knowledge, our results are new: the capillary tubes, which connect the cavities behind both diaphragms, not only act as acoustical resistances, but also as shunt compliances (proportional to the volume of capillaries and isothermal compressibility). Applications of the results to microphones design are proposed.

Osteochondral autografting (OCG) is a surgery to repair damaged articular cartilage that lines the ends of bones in a joint. An osteochondral autograft is a piece of tissue taken from a healthy section of the joint and transplanted to replace the chondral defects in the joint. There are two techniques used in osteochondral autografting: mosaicplasty and osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS).
The articulating surfaces of all the joints in the body are lined by a soft tissue called articular cartilage, which cushions the ends of the bones. This allows easy gliding of the bones during movement of the joint. Injury and wear-and-tear can damage the cartilage, making it rough and sometimes exposing the underlying bone. This leads to painful rubbing of the bones of the joint and disability.
Osteochondral autografting is most commonly carried out to treat chondral defects of the knee. It is indicated for:
- Small areas of damage, within 1 to 2cm2
- Having symptoms of pain, swelling and catching
- Localized, full-thickness injury
- Patients under 50 years of age
- Active patients with high physical demand
The implantation of osteochondral autograft is performed arthroscopically, under general or spinal anesthesia. Small incisions are made and an arthroscope, a narrow lighted tube with a camera, is inserted to give your surgeon a clear view of the surgical site.
First, the cartilage defect is prepared to receive the graft, by removing all the damaged tissue. Depending on the extent of damage or size of the lesion, your surgeon will decide on performing either mosaicplasty or OATS.
A portion of the non-weight bearing part of the joint is selected and exposed. Mosaicplasty involves the removal of multiple plugs of cartilage and underlying bone. Tunnels may be drilled to accept the individual graft plugs. The graft plugs are individually press-fit into the defect. Once all the grafts are implanted, the defect appears as a mosaic pattern.
The procedure for OATS is similar to mosaicplasty, except that in OATS, only one or two larger plugs are removed to fill the cartilage defect.
Once the implantation is completed, the incisions are closed and covered with a dressing.
Following the surgery, a brace may be applied and you will be instructed to use crutches and limit bearing weight for the first 2 weeks. Your surgeon will prescribe medication to reduce pain. Early movement is encouraged, and you will be gradually introduced to physical therapy, which will be continued for 8 to 12 weeks. Your brace will be removed in about 6 to 8 weeks.
Advantages & disadvantages
As the graft is taken from your own body, there is a higher chance of successful donor graft incorporation and less risk of immune-mediated graft rejection. The disadvantage of this procedure is the technical difficulty involved and limited donor site areas.
Risks and complications
As will all surgical procedures, the transplantation of osteochondral autografts may be associated with certain complications such as
- Graft fracture
- Avascular necrosis or tissue death in case of multiple graft harvesting
- Loose bodies

Pfizer Statement on U.S. Presidential Election
As President Bush prepares for his second term, Pfizer offers our best wishes and highest hopes for the future. The coming days are sure to be full of challenges and, for the sake of all Americans, we wish the President nothing but success.
?We look forward to working with President Bush and his Administration on our common objective: improved health for all Americans,? said Pfizer Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Hank McKinnell.
?Pfizer pledges to work hard to help build a bipartisan consensus to address health reform in a way that expands coverage, addresses affordability and improves quality.
?In 2005 and beyond, we will continue to be a constructive partner with the Administration, both parties in Congress, patients, physicians, the health care and business communities and the many others groups involved in health reform.
?By working together, we are confident that we can find ways to meet the challenge of advancing American health reform through: an understanding of patient needs; respect for the patient-physician relationship; a focus on prevention and wellness; and continuing medical innovation and progress.?
As Senator Kerry returns to the Senate, Pfizer thanks him for his continuing service to our nation. Even though the American people have returned President Bush to the White House, Senator John Kerry will play an important role in Congress and Pfizer looks forward to continuing to work with him.

Peter Schiff writes:
In theory, Fannie and Freddie were originally created to help provide affordable housing. In reality, like all government programs, they achieved the opposite. Rather than making houses more affordable, they merely enabled buyers to overpay for them.
In the end, the benefits are limited to those who benefit from inflated home prices. This includes realtors, who earn higher commissions, governments that collect higher property taxes…
Which was the goal. The government’s solution to the mess they created? More inflation.

Huskers cruise by Indiana 67-38
Posted By: Sports
Rachel Theriot scored a career-high 14 points and dished out six assists, while Jordan Hooper and Emily Cady added double-doubles to lead Nebraska to a 67-38 win at Indiana on Thursday night.
With the victory, Nebraska improved to 12-4 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten, while Indiana slipped to 10-6 and 1-2 in the conference.
Theriot, a 6-0 guard from Middleburg Heights, Ohio, hit 7-of-9 shots from the field, including 5-of-5 in the first half to produce the best game of her career.
Hooper, a 6-2 junior forward from Alliance, Neb., added 11 points and 11 rebounds in just 23 minutes for her seventh double-double of the season and 24th of her career. Cady, a 6-2 sophomore forward from Seward, Neb., pitched in 11 points and 10 boards for her second double-double of the year.
Sophomore guard Tear'a Laudermill also came off the bench to ignite a suffocating Husker defense. Laudermill repeatedly prevented the Hoosiers from initiating their offense during a 24-3 surge for the Huskers that spanned the halves. Laudermill also matched her career high with 14 points to go along with two steals.
Fellow sophomore Katie Simon added eight points off the bench for the Huskers in Nebraska's most complete game of the season, building a 62-24 lead with more than seven minutes left.
Nebraska hit 42.9 percent (27-63) of its shots from the field, including 4-of-15 threes, while hitting 9-of-11 free throws. The Huskers outworked the Hoosiers from end to end, dominating the boards, 50-27. NU also grabbed 17 offensive boards.
The Huskers held Indiana to just 15-of-53 shooting from the field, including 3-of-15 from long range. The Hoosiers also hit just 5-of-10 free throws. Aulani Sinclair led Indiana with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Simone Deloach added 14 points off the bench. Jasmine McGhee (7) and Andrea Newbauer (2) were the only other Hoosiers to score in the game.
Nebraska worked its way to a 9-1 lead out of the gate by holding the home-standing Hoosiers without a field goal for the game's first 8:25. The Huskers maintained a nine-point lead with 2:30 left in the half, before erupting on an 11-0 run to close the period.
Laudermill scored five points during the closing run, including a three-pointer, while Theriot capped the first-half scoring with a backdoor layup with three seconds left. The shot wrapped up a 5-for-5 shooting half for Theriot, who finished with 10 first-half points to go along with four assists and a steal.
Laudermill added seven points on 3-of-4 shooting, while Cady pitched in seven points by hitting both of her field goal attempts and both of her free throws. Simon and Meghin Williams also combined for six first-half points on perfect shooting to help the Huskers hit 55.6 percent (15-27) of their field goal attempts. NU was also 5-of-6 at the free throw line, while going 2-of-7 from three-point range.
The Huskers opened the game just 5-of-14 from the field, but hit 10-of-13 shots to end the half. Nebraska led by 20 points despite Lindsey Moore and Hooper combining for just five points on 2-of-9 shooting.
Nebraska's defense also shut down the Hoosiers. Indiana went just 7-of-24 from the field (29.2 percent), including 2-of-9 from long range. The Hoosiers were also 1-of-2 at the line. NU outrebounded Indiana, 19-9 in the half, and won the turnover battle 7-6.
The Huskers put the game away with a 17-3 surge to open the second half and never looked back.
The Huskers continue their two-game Big Ten road swing when they travel to University Park, Pa., to take on No. 8 Penn State on Sunday. Tip-off between Nebraska and the Lady Lions is set for 1 p.m. (CT), with live national television coverage on ESPN2.

“Monday Message” – 09.05.23
The Coronation reaches back to 973 and Edgar, the great grandson of Alfred the Great. The order of service drew from even further back, from Roman times.
Historian Tom Holland described watching a coronation as the “constitutional equivalent of visiting a zoo and finding a Triceratops in one of the enclosures.”
The history is fabulously ancient.
As to the sovereignty of the people, Dicey wrote about Parliament:
“That body is “politically” sovereign or supreme in a state the will of which is ultimately obeyed by the citizens of the state…the body in which sovereign power is vested.”
He concluded that:
“The electorate is in fact the sovereign of England…..the process of representation is nothing less than a mode by which the representative body of the House of Commons is made to coincide with the will of the nation.”
The Jewelled Sword of Offerings placed in the King’s right hand by Penny Mordaunt MP, Lord President of the Council, was a symbol “not of judgement, but of justice; not of might but of mercy” and to be used, as recited by the Archbishop of Canterbury:
“to help and defend widows and orphans, restore the things that are gone to decay, maintain the things that are restored, punish and reform what is amiss, and confirm what is in good order.”
All very straightforward.
On 27th April, the Home Office published its figures which showed that for the 12 months to the end of December 2023, the percentage of police reported allegations of sexual offences, reported to the police, resulting in criminal charges was 3.5% of which the charging rate for rape was 1.9%.
The charging rate had plummeted as low as 2.9% for sexual offences including just 1.3% for rape, for the twelve months ending to the end of March 2022, meaning one in 52 allegations of rape result currently in a charge, compared to one in 77 police reported rape complaints resulting in a charge this time last year.
However, the recent increase in charging rates needs to be put in the context of a decline of around 75% in the proportion of sexual offences charged and a decline of 80% for rape offence charging.
For the twelve months to the end of March 2015 the charging rate for police reported sexual offences, reported to the police, was 11.3% including a charging rate for rape of 8.3%.
In summary, one in twelve police reported allegations of rape resulted in a charge in 2015 compared to barely one in 50 today.
Once a charge is brought delays continue to be embedded.
The criminal justice system remains paralysed by underfunding and there are not enough barristers to prosecute and defend.
If the recent additional police, or the return to previous police numbers, result in additional cases being brought to court, they won’t result in trials for many years.
According to the latest Ministry of Justice figures, the average number of days from a rape charge being brought to a rape case completing in court rose to 370 days for cases completed between October and December 2022, up from 337 days for cases completed the previous quarter and representing nearly 50% longer than eight years ago.
The time taken from a rape charge being brought to the rape case completing in court was 252 days between April and June 2015. It fell as low as 210 days on average for a rape charge to complete at court between July and September 2019.
For the twelve months to December 2022, 34.6% of police reported sexual offences did not result in a charge due to the complainant no longer supported action. Looking at it with another figure; this applies to 79,789 cases.
This is not the fault of barristers.
However, we shoulder the shame and guilt as we are the ones who must explain to a complainant or a defendant that their trial will not go ahead for another one or two years.
The new Secretary of State for Justice, Alex Chalk KC needs to solidly grasp the urgency.
The increase in fees since the end of September 2022 has resulted in expenditure of £11 million on AGFS to date.
The review to increase fees on section 28 hearings is being urged upon the Ministry of Justice, with the CBA’s response to the latest MoJ document, presented at the last CLAAB meeting, being compiled this week.
I attended the Bar Council’s Remuneration Committee and the Crown Court Improvement Group, to gather information and ensure that all are updated and cognisant of the issues affecting our membership.
I also attended HHJ Grieve KC’s valedictory at Southwark Crown Court.
It was a packed courtroom; a sign of how highly he is regarded and a reminder of how our reputations have a deep and lasting impact across the Criminal Bar.
Our weekly meetings continue, with the CBA officers and CBA YBC Chair. Thanks as always to the CBA officers, Tana Adkin KC, Mark Watson, James Oliveira- Agnew and James Gray who scramble to link in from across the country.
Podcast Series: Criminal Justice Matters
Please have a listen to our first episode: Strike Action
Our second episode has been recorded and focuses on the Junior Bar. It will be released shortly.
Thanks to Jennifer Devans- Temakloe and CBA YBC Chair Zayd Ahmed for taking part.
Our third episode focuses on RASSO cases.
Do let us know what you think of the series and send through any ideas of subjects you’d like to hear covered.
It is new and we are finding our way.
We hope that it will develop to be a source of interest and help to our members, as well as a point of explanation to the public.
It will be held on 6th June 2023.
Further details to follow.
Congratulations to those who received pupillage offers.
For those who didn’t, every year there are successful applicants after repeat attempts.
I know of many students in this position, and I have been contacted by some who have received multiple offers in this round of applications.
We all have been there.
I still remember the thud against my heart as I read the rejection letters.
Keep going and don’t hesitate to speak to others, including contacting us at the CBA, particularly our CBA YBC.
“Spring” Conference and Dinner 9th and 10th June 2023
We are fortunate to have Mrs Justice Yip DBE as our keynote speaker.
The rest of the day is filled with (the best) Judges, academics, and practitioners. They will take you through the latest developments in criminal law.
The dinner also will be a lovely evening; an opportunity to catch up with friends and colleagues and make new friends.
The CBA officers, members of the Executive and myself look forward to seeing you there!
The Sentencing Council will publish sentencing guidelines for Animal Cruelty offences tomorrow, 10th May 2023.
The judicial oath reflects the coronation oath of the monarch.
The judicial oath differentiates to “do right” from to apply “the laws and usages of this realm.” Judges must do both at once, using natural law or human rights to interpret justly.
Prosecutors open their cases with the familiar words that they appear on behalf of the Crown. They commit to guaranteeing a fair trial for the defendant.
Defence barristers keep the standard to which conformity is demanded of law and process.
Criminal barristers continue to beat the drum of just justice.
It sounds through the centuries, through every oath made by monarch and judge, to the people of this jurisdiction.
We do not hold a ceremonial sword but hold lives in our hands every day.
This is worth the coronation weight in gold.View more news

In early June, the ACLU released its comprehensive look at the disparity of arrests between blacks and whites. The report highlighted the failings of prohibition by noting some of the consequences:
“The aggressive enforcement of marijuana possession laws needlessly ensnares hundreds of thousands of people into the criminal justice system and wastes billions of taxpayers’ dollars. What’s more, it is carried out with staggering racial bias. Despite being a priority for police departments nationwide, the War on Marijuana has failed to reduce marijuana use and availability and diverted resources that could be better invested in our community.”
Regardless of the increasing number of states passing decriminalization, medical marijuana, or other measures liberalizing the laws in the last ten years, there has still been an increase in the disparity of arrests, which this report shows quite literally in black and white.
The argument to end the war on marijuana, which is really a war on people, is not just simply a fiscal issue, but clearly a moral issue. We are at a precipice where we must not just talk about a moral imperative to end marijuana prohibition; we must act.
“We are at a precipice where we must not just talk about a moral imperative to end marijuana prohibition; we must act.”
What has largely been left out of the argument is the philosophical role of the law in society, and how the actual administration of drug laws affects our communities. The morality of the criminal justice system lies not only in the fair administration of due process, but also on the perception of fair and balanced justice.
The ACLU shows the disparate effect and the harms of laws prohibiting marijuana by pointing out a disturbing but consistent trend that “despite roughly equal usage rate, blacks are 3.7 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana.”
Some of the costs to our society of the emphasis on marijuana enforcement are quantifiable fiscally; others are intangible. The fiscal estimates of enforcement are over $3.6 billion per year with eight states accounting for $2 billion alone.
But how do you define the social justice costs associated with the stigmatization caused by a criminal history? How do you quantify a loss of educational opportunities, voting rights and the subversion of the victim’s civil rights? I think the ACLU’s report clearly shows not just the fiscal impact of marijuana prohibition, but the destructive nature of law enforcement when given free reign through ineffective stop-and-frisk policies in communities of color.
It is this piece that I see largely ignored, the elephant in the room. No matter law enforcement’s intent, the policy of marijuana prohibition is largely not about marijuana, but about who is using marijuana.

There are several stories this morning that Obama and his gang have a plan to force through unpopular financial reform and cap and tax legislation during the lame duck session following the November elections so that Democrats won’t have to be on record as voting for them before facing the voters. This is a cynical ploy that proves once and for all that Obama does not care what the American people want or what they think. The game is never to persuade anyone of the virtues of his policies, because his policies are terrible, but to simply ram everything through by any means necessary. The Chicago Way.
More information at these links:
The $20 Billion that BP has agreed to set aside for the payment of claims will not be administered by an independent legal process but by Obama and his czars. That makes it another slush fund for Obama to reward friends and punish enemies. Rep. Michelle Bachmann points out that this is unconstitutional.
Last night on CNN former Clinton Administration message man James Carville said: “It looks as if President Obama applied a little old-school Chicago persuasion to the oil executives.” Making “offers you can’t refuse” may be a great way to run the mob, but it is no way to run a country.

The Shangri-La Rasa Sayang in Penang lived up to the glamour of the hotel brand with luxury, open tropical gardens over 12 hectares, its grounds extending onto the soft white sands of Batu Feringgi Beach.
Attention to detail can be observed throughout the resort, in the exclusive Rasa Wing as well as the Garden Wing with classic Minangkabau style and elegance throughout. The pleasant staff were always available to address our every need.
The Shangri-La Sayang was the original Malaysian Shangri-La property, created in 1973 and was refurbished in 2005 to become an iconic Penang resort.
It had a great location, set on the edge of Feringgi township, a hub for tourists with a large offering of restaurants and shopping.
The resort included two parts of the hotel – the general Garden Wing and the Rasa Wing.
We had the honour of staying in the exclusive Rasa Wing which was a luxurious experience, offering exclusive privileges including access to the Club Lounge where afternoon tea comprising delectable savoury and sweet dishes was complimentary, as well as a complimentary cocktail session with a brilliant pianist, a plentiful range of hot and cold canapes, and various drinks available to order gratis, including cocktails, wines and non-alcoholic beverages.
The Rasa Wing included VIP privileges including a separate lobby and check-in area, a private swimming pool and Club Lounge access. Upon entry, we were warmly greeted by the General Manager, who kindly welcomed us to one of the three distinguished restaurants, where we were equipped with a menu housing a variety of delicious Western and Asian dishes.
In addition to access to an inclusive breakfast buffet at the main hotel’s Pinang Restaurant & Bar, Rasa Wing guests had the option of buffet and a la carte breakfast at the Ferringhi Grill, which was also a popular evening restaurant for non-resident guests.
The complex included two pools – an adults-only pool exclusively available to Rasa Wing guests and a huge winding lagoon pool in the Garden Wing, the main part of the hotel, which was set in leafy gardens with majestic ancient trees lining the perimeter.
In the stunning Shangri-La gardens, a massive 150-year-old tree stands, and vines from its giant branches, creating a magical fairyland when alit in the evenings with dangling lights.
We had the honour of staying in Rasa Junior Suite King, in which a gift box awaited us with an assortment of exotic, local, dried fruits.
The room took on a luxurious resort feel, with a constant theme of dark wood branching through the magnificent room. The spacious accommodation included a king-size bed, a large dressing area, a lounge setting where a roller bed was set up to allow for the three of us, and an incredible balcony with a table and chairs, a daybed and a huge marble bathtub, from which to relax and look over the lush, tropic gardens.
The large bathroom was glamorous with ambient lighting, double sinks, a massive shower and a separate toilet.
The linen was luxurious – thick, fluffy robes, soft toweling slippers and high threat-count, silky sheets.
Adjacent to Shangri-La Sayang was its sister hotel, Shangri-La Golden Sands, which accommodates families extraordinarily well with a great children’s swimming playground featuring a water slide and splash areas, a Kids Club, mini golf, and Adventure Zone Entertainment Centre.
Residents of the Shangri-La had access to this family wonderland also, with easy access via a natural stroll through the extensive plush Shangri-La grounds.
Shangri-La Sayang also included a comprehensive photo gallery illustrating its history and memorable events and an aromatic Spice Market showcasing the wide variety of flavours which make Penang so renowned for its delicious cuisine.
The was also a jewelry shop, a nail and hair salon, a substantial, well-serviced gym and the Chi spa where a range of massage, reflexology and beauty services were on offer.

Articles filed under General from New York
HENDERSON — Many Henderson residents expressed overwhelming disapproval of the Galloo Island wind project as they voiced their concerns during an informational meeting Friday evening at the Henderson Community Center.
Despite overwhelming opposition to the Lighthouse Wind project, Big Wind LLC, also known as Apex Clean Energy LLC, remains intent on assaulting Somerset and Yates citizens. Apex's unscrupulous history of spreading misinformation is most troubling. Even worse is the apparent collusion between Apex and New York State’s bureaucracies.
New York state energy regulators on Monday approved a plan to pay several upstate nuclear power plants up to $965 million over two years to keep the reactors in service and meet the state's carbon reduction goals.
Denmark town officials are continuing their lengthy review of a five-year-old, 80-megawatt wind farm project here, one of few remaining that predate a state-led permitting process.
But local residents see the prospect of turbines differently, and that has broken long friendships and created deep rifts in the two towns where they would rise. “We’re in the fight of our lives here,” said John Riggi of Yates, who fears the character of his Orleans County town would be ruined if a state siting board approves the Lighthouse Wind project.
After reviewing Atlantic Wind LLC’s Public Involvement Program Plan for the Horse Creek Wind Farm project, state Department of Public Service staff members recommend that the developer expand its area of study, incorporate more community outreach and clearly establish its project area, stakeholders and turbine height for its final plan.
The Lyme Town Council discussed potential zoning issues and intervenor funding with wind developer representatives during its monthly board meeting ...“We have a wind law in place, and any developer has to follow the process we set down,” Mr. Aubertine (Town Supervisor) said. “If they don’t want to abide by that law, we’ll reject (their proposal).”
In the newly proposed law, the setback is increased to 1,760 feet or three times the blade radius, whichever is greater, from adjacent property lines, unless each neighboring landowner within 1,760 feet consents to a written lease, easement or other agreement.
PSEG Long Island will postpone by two months the long-awaited release of a plan for the Island’s energy sources as LIPA and the state call for further analysis of offshore wind-energy proposals and the state’s clean energy standard.
Miller said he felt that the information they were getting from Atlantic Wind was “the standard low-level boilerplate information that was not specific to this project. And they said things like, ‘No, it does not affect land values,’ or ‘No, we haven’t signed leases, we’re not that far along.’ Whenever we asked hard or detailed questions, we got, ‘Oh, that’s not my area of expertise.’”
COPENHAGEN — An informational session on the proposed 40-turbine Deer River Wind Farm has been set for next week.
Compliance with renewable portfolio standards (RPS) cost US consumers an average $12/MWh in 2014 - or a total of $2.6 billion.
The towns and school districts that would be affected by the proposed Apex Clean Energy wind power project are saying no to property tax breaks for the project.
Apex's tactics are no different than the ones by the unscrupulous wind corporation that assaulted us in Orangeville. These morally bankrupt big wind LLCs sneak into town and make deals with large landowners long before anyone else knows what's going on. They show up spewing make-believe stories about life under these giant industrial machines. They use divide-and-conquer tactics that pit neighbor against neighbor.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants the state to get half of its energy from renewable sources in the next 15 years. That has wind developers eyeing the farm land along the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. One energy company has revived an interest in constructing a wind farm in Jefferson County that would extend across the towns of Clayton, Orleans, Brownville and Lyme.
Barre Supervisor Mark L. Chamberlain said he had no inkling of the project until receiving a letter from Apex early this week. Apex issued a news release late Wednesday. “They told us nothing. The extent of the letter was, they would like to meet with us to discuss it,” Chamberlain said.
Town of Orleans residents met Thursday to discuss the future of wind power in the town. That's because of a request from Iberdrola Renewables to build a controversial wind farm along the St. Lawrence River.
The board had been wrestling with what to do about Black Oak Wind Farm's proposing a windmill site in Newfield, and it’s likely that the board will vote to instate a 90-day moratorium on any wind energy development in the town so that local laws can be reviewed.
NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced on April 7, 2016, the release of a revised Code of Conduct for the wind energy industry in New York State.
Vacco, who is representing the town of Somerset where some of the turbines will be located, asserted that Apex has been “astroturfing” meetings, or bringing in paid employees to act as local residents supportive of the project or to flood state offices with letters of support. According to a letter Vacco wrote to Schneiderman, the town is worried that Apex is intentionally misrepresenting and inflating support for the project.

I tried to contact the doctor via email and left a message with his secretary more than a month ago. I have not been contacted by anyone. I feel like he wants the business, but once he gets it, he will not respond to you. I needed him to back me up on a short term disability claim where the insurance company said the findings were subjective, but the doctor advertises he has objective results. Now it's too late, I was denied my benefits which probably equated to a few thousand dollars. And I am going to rip up the letter he sent me trying to advertise for business over a month ago.

The first thing I need to tell you is that I’m not a Doctor. You probably already knew that, but just in case – this isn’t a medical guide written by a doctor. This is a tips guide written by a mum. A mum who has had to deal with an angry baby with a cold screaming from a blocked up nose and crying because he doesn’t understand what’s happening. The medical disclaimer applies – always get help from your health visitor or doctor for your situation. Every GP office should have an open baby clinic walk-in with your assigned health visitor. Call the NHS non emergency helpline – 111 – if that’s not open or if you’re not sure when / where that is and they’ll direct you.
My son caught his first cold in the hospital at just a week old. It took almost 2 weeks to clear up, but in his newborn fugue he just sort of dealt with it and it was much harder for me (coughing straight after a c section is not fun!). His next cold, at 5 months old, was much worse because now he was fully aware that something was wrong and he couldn’t breathe or eat properly. Cue many sleepless nights, meltdowns and sobbing (from both of us!)
After that we figured out what worked, but a baby with a cold is inevitable. No matter how many you’ve dealt with, they’re still stressful and every mum wants to ease her child’s suffering wherever possible.
During these times I spent countless hours quizzing friends and family, talking to my midwife (for the first) and health visitor (for the second) and pouring over information on the internet. Here’s some of what I found practical and helpful:
How to Clear a Blocked up Nose / Congestion
- Use Saline drops up to three times a day to clear the pathways. You can buy saline drops or you can make your own. Boil a cup of water and let it cool until it is lukewarm and then add half a teaspoon of salt. Then just add a few drops to each nostril.
- Run a vaporizer, but if you’re buying a medicated vaporizer check the suitability for age first. The ones I originally looked at were 3 months+, which was no good when my son had a bad cold at 2 weeks old! Most rubs and topical treatments are not suitable for babies, but there are a range available in chemists and supermarkets such as plug-ins that are suitable for younger ages. Unfortunately very little is available for those under 3 months
- You can make your own vaporizer at home by boiling a pan of water (or buying a humidifier) and adding a few drops of essential oils – menthol or eucalyptus will help with a cold.
- Steam will clear things out. Because my son was too young on his first cold (which he caught in the hospital!) for any medication or menthol, the midwife recommended steam as a treatment. My husband and I showered at different times of the day and we had the baby on the floor of the bathroom with us. So he got two steam treatments per day which really helped clear out the mucous.
How to Feed a Baby with a Cold
When my son is fully blocked up and trying to take a bottle, it’s hard. He’s already struggling with breathing through his mouth, and now he’s trying to swallow at the same time. It makes him panic and cough and then cry cry cry. It’s distressing for both of us.
But here are some tips that I’ve found can help:
- Keep baby upright as much as possible. Propping up, lots of pillows or feed tummy to tummy if breastfeeding and can’t find the right position.
- Feed smaller meals more frequently if baby is struggling. This may be more comforting as well.
- Saline drops in the nose just before feeding can offer a temporary reprieve enough to get a good meal.
Breastfeeding & Hydration for a Baby with a Cold
We’ve all heard about those precious precious antibodies that pass from our milk into baby, toughening up that immature immune system. You might not know, but if your baby has a cold and you don’t – the antibodies are not specifically targetting that cold. When you get sick, your body produces antibodies directly to target the problem and then those filter through your breastmilk. So it’s actually a good thing for him if you’re sick too!
If like me, you aren’t breastfeeding, it’s nothing to worry about. But if you are producing, and can pump even a small amount then every little helps.
If you’re breastfeeding and you both have colds, remember that you need extra hydration and extra calories too. Don’t focus on the baby and forget about your self-care!
Whichever way you’re feeding, baby might need more food when he’s sick. First is for hydration reasons, as he may becoming dehydrated more often, and the more hydrated he is, the thinner the mucuous will be which will help him cough or sneeze it out. Second is simply for comfort. If he takes comfort from nipple or teat, it might make him feel better to have something more frequently.
I hope this has helped anyone. If you have a tip or product that is suitable for a baby with a cold, please comment and let me know!

Another coaching saga at Auburn appears to be over. For now at least. According to ESPN, Bryan Harsin will return as the team’s coach for 2022. Harsin’s tenure after just one season with the Tigers appeared to be on shaky ground after reports emerged the school was conducting an inquiry into the program. The inquiry started as a result of a tumultuous offseason, which included nearly 20 players entering the transfer portal and significant staff turnover. However, that inquiry reportedly did not produce enough evidence or reason to fire Harsin for cause, which means he will return to the Plains in ’22.
Although Harsin returns, many questions remain about the future of this program going into 2022. Let’s take a look at some of the key questions surrounding this situation and what’s next:
How Did Auburn and Harsin Get Into This Position?
In order to understand why Harsin’s job was in question just a year into his hire, you have to go back to his hire. After an extended search and a behind-the-scenes power struggle, Harsin was hired after a successful tenure at Boise State. But Harsin had no SEC experience prior to arriving on the Plains and wasn’t necessarily the most popular pick. After a 6-2 start, the Tigers lost their last five games, including the Iron Bowl to Alabama and a 17-13 defeat to Houston in the Birmingham Bowl.
In addition to the losing streak and disappointing close to the season, Auburn’s roster has been hit by defections, including quarterback Bo Nix transferring to Oregon. Also, the staff has seen a significant amount of turnover, including a receivers coach change in late September, defensive coordinator Derek Mason leaving for Oklahoma State, and offensive coordinator Austin Davis resigning after spending less than six weeks on the job. Finally, recruiting – always extra important in the SEC – didn’t go well for Harsin. According to the 247Sports Composite, the Tigers signed the No. 19 class and inked 10 four- or five-star recruits. Rivals Georgia and Alabama both ranked inside the top three and combined for 48 four- or five-star recruits.
The short version: Harsin wasn’t the popular pick by the power brokers after a crazy search, might be a bad fit at the school, had a disappointing 6-7 debut, was hit by departures in the player and coach ranks and struggled to recruit.
Related: Ranking the SEC Rosters for 2022
Perhaps this decision is simply prolonging the inevitable. Auburn isn’t happy with Harsin but paying a full buyout for a coach after one year wasn’t palatable. So for now, this relationship will continue on shaky ground. Harsin has to do a better job mending some of the off-field relationships and stop the departures to the transfer portal (or at least bring in some replacements to restock the roster).
Filling out a coaching staff under the circumstances might also be a challenge. Harsin promoted Jeff Schmedding to defensive coordinator – a former Boise State assistant – but will have to address the offensive position. Of course, Harsin is likely to play a key role in calling the plays each week, so it’s not as crucial as filling the defensive spot.
Recruiting has to improve – quickly. The state of Alabama is loaded with talent in 2023, so Harsin has to prove he can win some battles against Alabama, Georgia and Clemson.
Can Harsin Survive Long-Term at Auburn?
We’ll see. Considering how public this saga was, recruiting certainly got a lot tougher for a coach who may not have more than a year to prove he can get it done. Even before this saga, Auburn was projected by most to finish near the bottom of the SEC West. Quarterback concerns top the list of priorities for Harsin this offseason, and the defense lost a couple of key players, including linebacker Zakoby McClain, cornerback Roger McCreary and safety Smoke Monday.
Harsin will enter 2022 squarely on the hot seat, so a path to sticking around for ’23 starts right away with winning games and improving recruiting. Otherwise, this decision is really just prolonging the inevitable and Auburn will be looking for its next head coach after next season, if not sooner.

"I haven't gotten that adrenaline rush anywhere else": Greg Callaghan on falling in love with Enduro
As the world's number one rider, the Dubliner tells Newstalk.com what attracted him to the sport15:00 Saturday 3 June 2017, 15:00 3 Jun 2017
Since he was a boy, Greg Callaghan has been attracted to the thrill of riding.
At the age of eight, the Dubliner was competing on motorbikes and did so up until his teenage years. Logistics made him swap his motorised vehicle for something a little more rudimentary.
"This sport was just more accessible for a motorbike," he tells Newstalk.com. "With motorbiking, you needed to have a full day and you need to have someone bring you to it when you’re a young lad.
"With Enduro, you can just take your bike to the hills and you can spend as long as you want out there."
With this in mind, Callaghan threw himself into the world of Enduro racing. Since dedicating his life to sport - which in its simplest terms is a type of mountain bike racing where the downhills are timed but uphills are not - he has risen to number one in the world rankings.
The 25-year-old has been competing in the Enduro World Series this year and for the past three years.
"We’ve been in New Zealand, Australia, Madeira and now in Ireland. The place was packed."
The Emerald Enduro touched down at the foot of Carrick Mountain in Co. Wicklow, where 350 riders were competing in different age groups over the course of the weekend.

"Because you’re hidden away in the hills you’re not mainstream. But it could be. People are joking around calling it ‘the new golf’. And, in some instances, it’s becoming quite apparent.
"All the cars you used to see going to golf clubs now have bikes on the back of them.
"The first Irish race had nearly 400 riders at it. There were loads of fans and spectators, there was a big buzz around it. Every year it continues to go from strength to strength."
Two days of practice and a day of racing attracted thousands of visitors to Glenealy. Having just picked up a win last month in Madeira, Callaghan will have been disappointed with a 10th place finish.
However, the Cube sponsored rider says he's not too disappointed because he knows he gets to continue to compete in a sport he loves.
"The buzz you get from racing to the limit and it getting a bit out of control is something that I haven’t found anywhere else.
"That adrenaline rush is quite addictive."
Travelling at high speeds on uneven terrain will inevitably lead to injury and Callaghan admits he's picked up his fair share of knocks over the years.
"Yeah, but nothing major. Broken collarbones, a few bones in my hand, my wrist and a bit of a knock to my knee.
"Nothing big, just small little niggles. The first thing you think of when you pick up injuries like that is ‘when can I go back at it again?’
"It doesn’t even cross your mind to pack any of it in. When it’s going well, the good times far, far outweigh the bad times of being injured."
Callaghan's journey now takes him Millau in France at the end of June for the fifth event of year. Despite the travel, he still says he would like to see more events in his home country.
"This is third time we've had this event. It's a favourite with the riders. We race all over the world, but the Irish in terms of organisation, venue and crowds, are terrific.
"The crowds are some of the best in the world, the Irish hospitality really shines through. There are very few venues that people love coming to and we've been back here three years in a row which the riders have enjoyed. That tells you something."

Honda civic 2019 accessories – Welcome to Besthondacars.com, this time I will give information about the world, namely the Honda. More precisely Honda civic 2019 accessories will be present in the world car market by 2018. I will present information about the 2019 Honda Cars is about a review, release date, price, specs and engine. Congratulations read something about the information that I have prepared, and if you want to know the latest updates about the latest cars visit the blog Besthondacars.com.
The Honda CR-V is had with seven seats and as a hybrid for the primary time while it goes on the market this fall. The SUV's proportions were enlarged slightly, fostering inside area for passengers and their luggage.
The car was designed with relaxation in thoughts, with features along with a bigger boot, doors which open wider and help hold dust off your legs, bigger door pockets and even a repositioned gas tank to increase legroom.
In front-wheel induce shape, the hybrid variant may be able to 53.3mpg using CO2 emissions of 120g/km.
It's going to also deal with a future it's becoming a growing quantity of illiberal of pollutants -- that the purchase of diesel motors has declined sharply in the moderate of concerns over city air first-class. It might be no twist of fate that no diesel engine was introduced for the CR-V; it appears like the brand new hybrid variant may also successfully replace diesel power.
The new Honda CR-V does not extensively leave from the previous version's looks, however includes a more in-depth resemblance to the cutting edge Honda Civic without forsaking the acquainted SUV proportions. The sides are extra deeply sculpted than earlier than, however -- the rear door surfaces extend outwards over bulging wheelarches, that are sharply noted for emphasis.
The brand-new frame is promised to be drastically more aerodynamic than the prior version's, lowering interior noise in addition to raising gas fiscal system.
Inner, the as a replacement complicated preceding dash was replaced using a tidier and additional automobile-like design, with fewer character controls and buttons. Unlike some compact SUVs, the CR-V retains separate weather-manage buttons underneath a seven-inch color touchscreen which protects infotainment. The instrument cluster houses a digital coloration show and also the resources selector is dashboard-established, leaving place for garage at the middle console.
The brand new CR-V's interior takes advantage of slightly large external measurements to supply an non-compulsory third row of seats for the key period, which Honda claims offers"exceptional" leg space, a totally low'heel measure height' plus a relaxed backrest angle. Honda also asserts"class-main" access to these seats while they are wished.
The manufacturer has executed this by altering the front and back wheels 40mm similarly aside, at the exact same time as raising the CR-V's width by 35mm. There is now 50mm extra room between the front and rear passengers and the gas tank has been repositioned to the back of the automobile, boosting backseat legroom from 50mm. The doors open six levels wider for easier get entry to into the seats, and add a'wrap round' backside sill designed to preserve any dust or dust faraway from the legs.
If the elective third row of chairs is fitted, all 3 rows may recline and also the middle row can slide forwards and reduce back by way of 150mm, making it less complicated to find entrance to the third row and then fix legroom.
Somewhere else, the boot is heavier, wider and has a more load bay than earlier than, and also the elevation of the boot ground might be varied in two ranges to permit a set ground for ease of loading, or even more space for awkward objects. There is a palms-loose strength tailgate handy, also, whose opening radius can be set to allow secure operation in limited spaces including multi-storey vehicle parks.
Honda claims you'll locate it easier to carry gadgets that don't suit into the primary boot pit -- it is able to be extended with increased ease as a result of single-action'dive-down' second-row chairs with a 60:40 cut up. Passengers also get extra interior storage compartments, such as a'three-manner' centre console, with'menu','area' and'open' modes, that is huge enough to store a laptop or bag while still available. The door pockets right now are large sufficient to healthy a complete size tablet device - thanks to speakers proceeded better up. Better trims will also feature USB interfaces for rear passengers.
Engines and age
The big information about the brand new CR-V is the visual appeal of a hybrid electricity option. The'shrewd multi-mode driveway' (i-MMD) hybrid gadget contains a 2.0-litre gasoline engine and a pair of electrical cars, putting off a conventional gearbox in favour of an additional compact unit using a single equipment.
Monetary system in the front-wheel power hybrid variant stands at 53.3mpg using CO2 emissions of 120gkm. If you decide on the equivalent car but with high-pressure pressure, economic system drops marginally to 51.4mpg and CO2 emissions expansion to 126g/km.

The green plains of Northern Pandaria are home to the peaceful Pandaren, as well as friendly mountain kobolds, and even a tribe of Furbolgs. Great trees dot the landscape, and the peaceful Maesana River flows into Lake Maesana at the center of this land. In the northeast, the mountain kobolds make their home. To the east, along the northern coast, is the capital, Pandar City. Peaceful gardens dot the city, and recently a human tower has been constructed here also. Panjun Village is located in the foothills of the mountains, and in a peaceful valley where the mountain kobolds live, the ideal setting of Mountainback Refuge is where many young and hopeful Pandaren come to gain knowledge.
But Northern Pandaria has it's problems, as well. Many of the kobold tribes have gone mad from the recent invasion. The eastern coastline is corrupted, and demons now ravage the plains. Naga have taken up residence at the delta of the Maesana River. The gnolls of the southern mountains have become increasingly violent as well.
Pandaria has a rich and long history. The Pandaren settled here after the Sundering, and have lived here ever since.They had dynasties and emporers for a very long time, and it was called the Pandaren Empire.

Northern Virginia man charged in stepfather's stabbing death
WOODBRIDGE, Va. (AP) -- A northern Virginia man has been charged with murder in his stepfather's stabbing death.
Prince William County Police say 42-year-old Mauro Rodriguez was sitting in his living room in Woodbridge on Wednesday night when his stepson walked in, grabbed a knife in the kitchen and began pacing.
Police say Rodriguez's wife tried to get her son to drop the knife but that he walked around her and into the living room, and began stabbing Rodriguez. As Rodriguez's brother tried to stop the attack, his wife called 911.
Police say that when they arrived, Rodriguez's brother and stepson were fighting. Police broke up the fight and then arrested the stepson, 29-year-old Brian Hernandez of Woodbridge.
Rodriguez died at a hospital.
Hernandez is being held without bond. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.

A home equity loan converts equity to cash by means of a mortgage. Equity is the difference between a homes market value and the balance owed on it. The most popular reason people cash out their home equity is for debt consolidation. Even people with bad credit can make good use of their home equity.
The optimum word in home equity loan is equity. Start with the fair market value of a home, subtract the mortgages (first and second) and any liens against the property, and what you have left is the equity. This equity can be used as collateral to secure cash in the form of a loan or mortgage.
The amount borrowed is based on a percentage of the appraised value of the home. The percentage rate can vary from 75% to 125%. The length of the financing will also vary. The two main types of home equity loans are fixed rate loans and adjustable rate loans.
Fixed rate loan – provides a fixed amount of money at a fixed rate of interest, repayable in equal payments over the life of the loan. Fixed rate financing costs more in set-up fees and comes at higher interest than adjustable rate loans. But if homeowners stay put and interest rates go up, they will save money over a comparable adjustable rate loan.
Adjustable rate loan – the interest rate goes up or down according to the index upon which it is based. Adjustable rate loans will have a cap on how high the interest rate can go. Usually called ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages), this type of loan has lower up-front costs and starts at a lower interest rate than fixed rate financing. This means lower initial monthly payments.
Putting home equity to good use
According to the Consumer Banker Association, the top ten reasons for getting a home equity loan are:
9. Medical expenses
8. Business expenses
7. Household expenditures
5. Major purchase
4. Education expenses
3. Automobile purchase
2. Home improvement
1. Debt consolidation
Debt consolidation, the most popular reason people cash out their home equity, is a smart form of financing because of the money it can save. For example, say you owe $15,000 on a credit card that charges 17% interest. If you get a debt consolidation loan at 9% interest and pay it off in five years, youll save you over $30,000!
If youre paying more than 15% interest on anything, you should seriously consider a debt consolidation loan. The right terms could drop your monthly payments by 35% – 50%, depending on interest rates, origination costs and tax consequences.
Even for people who have bad credit or who have filed for bankruptcy, a home equity loan is not out of reach. It can be a good way to make a fresh start. Websites like Easy Home Equity Mortgages help borrowers with bad credit get the home equity loan that best fits their unique situation.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Audits for Library & Information Organizations
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) audits offer library and information organizations (LIOs) a strategic method for assessing their DEI efforts. However, the actual execution of these audits is often seen as overly complicated and expensive. And with no standardized methods available, many LIOs find themselves not even sure where to begin. This workshop is designed to offer attendees not only an overview of what a DEI audit is designed to do, but also prepare them to take the necessary steps towards planning and conducting a DEI audit in their own organizations.
-Understand what DEI audits are and how they apply to LIOs.
-Determine which key aspects of DEI audits apply directly to their organizations.
-Create an initial plan for assessing DEI in their own organizations.

Barbacoa with Spicy Soup
If I were truly enthusiastic I would make barbacoa by digging a 6 foot by 4 foot hole in the ground, light a fire on top of some rocks, season an entire pig, wrap it in banana leaves, put down a couple of large pots with vegetables, put the pig over the pots on a cooking grate, put more hot rocks and coals on top, then cover the whole thing with dirt and let the pig cook for 24 hours.
Unfortunately, I do not have any banana leaves, so I am forced to do my barbacoa in the grill. You can actually do this in a gas grill since all you really require is heat. However, I wanted to add some smoky flavor to my barbacoa, so I added a few pecan wood chunks to the coals during the first 2 hours.
I was actually having a good time, tending the fire and chilling out in the backyard while the pork cooked. And then this happened:
Rain. Luckily, the pork had been in the smoker for 4 hours by the time the rain hit, so it had absorbed all the smoke it could by then. I turned on my oven to 250 degrees to finish off the cooking. Easy as pie.
Marinate the loinIn a dry iron skillet, toast each pepper pod until they become fragrant. Do this over medium to medium-low heat. Put the peppers in a bowl of warm tap water and let them rehydrate for about 20 minutes. Transfer the hydrated peppers to a food processor along with the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper, and add about 1 cup of water. Puree this mixture for about a minute or until completely liquefied.
Pour the marinade over the pork butt, rubbing it into all the nooks and crannies. You might want to do this with gloves or with a couple of spatulas. Let marinate overnight.
Fire up your grill or smoker for indirect cooking.
Make the soup While the grill is heating, add the carrots, onions, potatoes, chickpeas, and cilantro to a large oven-safe and grill-safe pot. I used my Staub Enamel pot. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Let it cook Now set up your grill as shown. Pot on the bottom, grate above the pot and the meat above that. As the pork cooks, the juice and dripping will collect in the pot and make for a nice soup. The soup meanwhile will cook very slowly, leaving a wonderful smoky flavor and the veggies will be cooked but not mushy. Cook this way for about 6-7 hours at about 250 degrees.
When the pork is done, remove it from the grill, wrap it in foil and let it rest for an hour. Then remove it from the foil and use your hands or a couple of forks to shred it. Serve with corn and flour tortillas and top with your favorite salsa.
