On the heels of the White House Conference on Hunger Nutrition, and Health, iHeartIMPACT and Anthem Blue Cross are continuing their multi-year partnership to combat food insecurity and improve health in marginalized communities by partnering with non-profit Common Threads to provide hands-on culinary programming focused on food as medicine in under-resourced schools in Los Angeles.
To support their ongoing commitment to the Los Angeles community, iHeartMedia
, Anthem Blue Cross
, and Common Threads
will launch culturally responsive hands-on food as medicine programs in three LAUSD schools including Manual Arts High School, Baldwin Hills Elementary, and Coliseum Street Elementary to ensure students and families not only have access to nutritious food but also build the skills to prepare healthy meals that can help combat obesity and food-related chronic conditions or diseases. To mark the occasion, the partners hosted a produce distribution event with Chicas Verdes
and Food Forward
providing 250 families with bags of groceries of fresh produce. Joined by Los Angeles Sparks
, students were able to participate in a live cooking demonstration from Common Thread instructors and Anthem Blue Cross volunteers on how to create a healthy meal from the food provided.
“Last year, iHeartMedia and Anthem Blue Cross helped fully renovate and expand the student-run garden program at Manual Arts High School, providing students with an opportunity to learn how to grow fresh produce. Now, we are doubling down on our ongoing commitment to combat food insecurity in our communities across Los Angeles by adding nutrition education, focused on food as medicine, to our program,” said Kevin LeGrett, President of iHeartMedia Sports. “It’s not enough to just distribute nutritious food, we want to make sure students and their families are equipped with the skills to make healthy meals and empowered to make informed food decisions that ultimately can improve their physical and mental health outcomes.”
One of every five deaths across the globe is attributable to a suboptimal diet. Chronic diseases and conditions such as obesity, heart disease, hypertension, high blood pressure, and diabetes are key drivers of total U.S. healthcare costs. However, people with diets rich in vegetables and fruit have a significantly lower risk of obesity, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Research also suggests that deficiencies in certain nutrients may contribute to or exacerbate conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Addressing the growing prevalence of diet-related diseases in the United States depends on preventative efforts at the individual, community, and public health levels.
"We are thrilled to continue working with our community partners to address health-related social needs and promote health equity through access to nutritious foods here in Los Angeles,” said Dr. David Pryor, Regional Vice President and Medical Director at Anthem Blue Cross. “We know that lowering barriers and making it easier for individuals to access everyday items, like nutritious food, are some of the best ways to help people live healthier. We are doing that here today by helping build hands-on nutrition knowledge for students and families, which will help open paths towards health equity for future generations."
Students with a healthy balanced diet are more likely to have stronger immune systems, lower risk of diabetes and heart disease, and live longer. A healthy diet is crucial for optimal learning because it can boost brain function and improve mood. The new partnership with Common Threads includes year-round hands-on nutrition education curriculum for students and their families that rolls out in late October. Elements of the curriculum include focusing on affordable and healthy ingredients, embedding culturally relevant content and teaching practices, increasing vegetable and fruit intake, emphasizing whole grains and lean protein, and reducing sugar intake and ultimately increasing knowledge and skill for cooking at home to utilize healthy foods that have been demonstrated to improve physical and mental health outcomes.
“Food is an essential part of our lives and the nutrition we need to thrive comes from good food choices. Providing hands-on training as part of the class curriculum is one of the most powerful and effective ways to make an impact early in life which can translate to improved physical and mental health outcomes,” said Common Threads Executive Director Linda Novick O’Keefe. “Often one minor adjustment to a traditional recipe can take a meal high in fat with empty calories to a deliciously nutritious meal that will fuel and nourish your body. Our mission is to teach children and their families easy and affordable ways to shop for and prepare their favorite meals, encouraging behavioral changes that last a lifetime.”
About iHeartIMPACT & Anthem Blue Cross Partnership
is a division of iHeartMedia
that focuses on aligning brands with nonprofit organizations. Anthem Blue Cross
and its affiliated companies are working with iHeartIMPACT to support a series of nutrition education programs in a total of six schools across Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Indianapolis. This partnership with national health and wellness organization, Common Threads
, is an extension of the companies' multi-year commitment to addressing food insecurity and whole-health for communities across the country.
About Common Threads
Common Threads is a national nonprofit that provides children and families with cooking and nutrition education, striving to equip communities with the necessary information to make affordable, nutritious, and appealing food choices wherever they live, work, learn, and play. By December 31,2029 they committed to distributing 1,447,000 nutritious meals and snacks, and 1,228,500 hours of nutrition education. They aim to tackle the critical issues of limited access to healthy foods and nutrition-related health disparities in communities by reaching over 260,000 participants in low-income households across the United States, to offer culturally relevant nutrition education and hands-on cooking skills at community centers including schools, community organizations, and healthcare providers.

This paper is concerned with the capture and release of flowing biomass in high voidage fibre networks, and the work is relevant to a number of areas including filtration and biomass growth within scaffold structures. Experiments were carried out using a micro scale visualisation flow cell and a laboratory scale filter with similar hydrodynamic conditions and these apparatus were used to establish the dominant modes and mechanisms of deposition during steady flow, and also the efficacy of oscillatory fluid flow for the re-suspension of deposited biomass. Numerical simulation was used to elucidate the flow characteristics through a 'clean' fibre network. Quantitative image analysis of in situ confocal laser scanning microscope data from the flow cell was conducted, obtaining both the local void fraction and surface area exposed to flow as the filtration progressed. The laboratory scale filter apparatus gave the overall filtration efficiency and pressure difference data, and also provided model parameters to estimate the filter coefficient X as a function of the deposit level in the filter. By combining these model parameters with the image analysis results, it was possible to obtain the deposit profile in the filter bed as the filtration progressed and also the average shear stress acting on the biomass deposit as a function of fluid drag. The experimental results showed that the high voidage fibre network was an effective way of capturing biomass, and that filter ripening, steady-state capture and breakthrough are all present during the course of a filter run. During biomass filtration, the average shear stress acting on the biomass started at approximately 1.0 Pa and gradually rose to a peak of 6.5 Pa, which was the maximum sustainable by the deposit. Thereafter, a reduction in the shear stress indicated rearrangement of the deposit to zones further downstream in the filter. Subsequent high intensity oscillatory fluid flow was partially effective at removing the biomass deposit both in the micro flow cell and the laboratory filter experiment, with shear stress levels during this high intensity oscillatory flow starting at approximately 65 Pa with a fully loaded fibre network, and decreasing to 7.5 Pa as the filter medium approached a 'clean' state.

Philadelphia’s recent population growth has policymakers looking at who is moving into the city and who is leaving. Our latest brief, “A Portrait of Philadelphia Migration,” sheds light on this topic, showing that college graduates and non-Hispanic whites were overrepresented among both new arrivals and those departing the city, compared with their presence in Philadelphia as a whole. It also found that nearly two-thirds of those arriving were ages 18-34 and that the largest share of newcomers had moved into Center City and surrounding neighborhoods.
Building on that research, we decided to examine another aspect of migration in Philadelphia: who is moving from one place to another within the city’s boundaries. According to the latest census data, covering 2011-13, an average of 156,900 people moved within Philadelphia each year—far more than the number of those coming into the city or leaving it. The people who made those moves did not look much like the newcomers or departing migrants. Instead, they more closely resembled the population of Philadelphia as a whole in terms of income, educational attainment, age, and household composition. But those moving within the city were more likely to be poorer or living with children under 18 than the city’s overall population, and they stood out from all three groups—the overall population and those arriving and leaving—in terms of ethnicity: Nineteen percent were Hispanic, compared with 13 percent of arrivers, leavers and residents.
In the United States, mobility is often associated with poverty and the instability that comes with it; on the whole, the poorer one is, the more likely one is to move—and the move often is not long distance.1 According to the census data, this held true for Philadelphians moving within the city during the period studied.2 Forty percent of these movers lived in households that made less than $25,000 annually, and one in six were in households with total incomes of less than $10,000.
This made Philadelphia’s intracity movers poorer than its population as a whole; from 2011 to 2013, only 31 percent of all Philadelphians lived in households that made less than $25,000 a year, and one in nine were in households with incomes below $10,000. These movers were also a lot poorer than those leaving or arriving. Twenty-six percent of migrants who left and 22 percent of new arrivals lived in households with total annual incomes of more than $100,000. Only 10 percent of intracity movers were in households with similar economic resources.
As a group, those moving within the city had slightly less formal education than Philadelphia’s population as a whole—and much less than newcomers and those who left. Twenty-two percent of those age 18 or older moving within the city had less than a high school diploma, compared with 18 percent of all Philadelphians, 10 percent of newcomers, and 11 percent of departing migrants. This is consistent with national trends: Most movers with less than a high school diploma stayed within the same county during the period examined.3
At the other end of the educational spectrum, the pattern was similar. Only 22 percent of intracity movers in Philadelphia had college degrees or better, compared with 23 percent for all city residents and 41 percent for newcomers and 37 percent for out-migrants.
Age and household composition
Intracity movers were quite a bit younger than the city population as a whole. For instance, 11 percent of them were under age 6, compared with 8 percent of all city residents. Forty-three percent were between the ages of 18 and 34, which was well above the citywide representation of 29 percent for that age group but lower than the percentages among newcomers (65 percent) and out-migrants (48 percent).
Young adults are highly mobile. Nationally, 27 percent of people ages 18-34 reported moving in the past year.4 This is largely due to events that can lead to changes in residence for many young adults, such as enrolling in college, starting full-time employment, and getting married.
Another way of looking at the same data is to examine the makeup of the households that moved within Philadelphia during the period studied. Fifty-three percent of those households consisted of families with children under the age of 18. That was higher than the percentage for those leaving (45 percent), new arrivals (28 percent), and Philadelphia residents as a whole (48 percent).
Race and ethnicity
Relative to the city population as a whole, Hispanics were the only major ethnic or racial group that was overrepresented among Philadelphians moving within the city. They made up 18 percent of these movers but only 13 percent of the citywide population. The group underrepresented among those moving within Philadelphia was non-Hispanic whites; they constituted 36 percent of the city’s population but just 32 percent of intracity movers. Among newcomers and people moving out of the city, non-Hispanic whites were overrepresented.

Elon Musk Just REVEALED An Upgraded Starlink That Will Shock China!:- For years now, through his space company SpaceX, Elon Musk has been developing technology to provide internet satellite connectivity.
This technology, better known as Starlink, is already active as it has launched quite a lot of satellites into orbit. Right now, there are about 2200 Starlink satellites in orbit, which are providing internet access to about 32 countries.
However, this is set to increase with time, as SpaceX has just developed a next-generation satellite. This upgraded Starlink satellite is so sophisticated that it has even left China shocked, and they now feel threatened.
But what does this new and upgraded satellite have to offer?
Today, we are going to see what this next-generation Starlink satellite has to offer and why it has left China shocked. This is a true game-changer. Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, recently revealed the first technical details about the company’s Starlink “Gen 2” satellite design.
He went on to confirm that it would be much better than the current generation of satellites in almost every aspect. Musk revealed all this information during an onsite interview and Starbase tour with YouTuber Tim Dodd from The Everyday Astronaut.
During this interview, Musk, who seemed to be completely unprovoked, went on to say that SpaceX had already built one functional Starlink Gen2/V2.0 satellite prototype. However, this new satellite is currently stored in the South Texas Starship factory.
In addition to that, Musk also gave first-hand information about the specifications of the next-generation satellite. He stated that each Starlink V2.0 satellite has a weight of about 1.25 tons and measures about 7 meters long.
Musk even said that it would be almost an order of magnitude more capable than the “Starlink 1” satellites that they are definitely better than. It has been about ten months since SpaceX revealed their updated plans for a next-generation Starlink satellite, of which they plan to launch about 30,000 of them into orbit.
With the details given by Elon Musk, a few key points of speculation have been confirmed about the future of Starlink. SpaceX might try to optimize the new Starlink V2.0 satellite design to ensure that they make the most of Starship’s launch performance.
This is the same thing that they did in August 2021 with the Falcon 9. According to an updated Starlink Gen2 filing, SpaceX revealed that they would design a version of the constellation such that the starship could launch with an entire orbital plane aboard.
This means that they would successfully launch one ring of satellites that are spaced evenly around the Earth. In this new constellation variant, only about 500 of the 30,000 spacecraft would be stationed in planes of 11 or 120 satellites.
This could simply mean that SpaceX plans to launch about 1110 or 120 satellites with one starship launch. Taking into consideration Musk’s latest optimistic starship performance, which estimated the launch of 150 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), we can assume that one of the Starlink V2.0 satellites would weigh about 1250 kilograms.
Now that we know that each Starlink V2.0 satellite will be about 1250 kilograms, how does it compare with the previous versions? The Starlink V1.0 and V1.5 satellites are about 260 and 310 kilograms, respectively.
This simply means that the Starlink V2.0 satellites are about four times heavier than the V1.5 and about five times heavier than the V1.0. Musk also revealed that the V2.0 satellites would be “almost an order of magnitude more capable than Starlink 1.
He did not refer to the capability as bandwidth or throughput, which is the traditional method of describing the total performance of a communication satellite. The Starlink V1.0 is said to have a total bandwidth of about 18 gigabits per second.
However, it is unclear whether Starlink V1.5, which was a significant upgrade, also added some more bandwidth. In addition, it is also unclear whether Musk was referring to the latest Starlink V1.x iteration.
However, even if he was comparing the V2.0 with the earliest V1.0 satellites, it can be estimated that each Starlink V2.0 will add up to around 140-160 Gbps of the 30,000 satellite constellation. Even with all that, numbers are not that necessary in emphasizing the importance of the details that Musk provided.
If what Musk said is true, then the Starlink V2.0 could pack twice as much usable bandwidth into a given unit of satellite mass as compared to the V1.x.
Given that Starship could also offer about ten times as much performance to LEO as the Falcon 9, this would mean that a single Starship launch could, in theory, expand the total network capacity by about 20 times more than the Falcon 9 does.
If the FCC were to approve SpaceX’s license request, SpaceX would be required to launch half of the constellation within six years. This means that they would have to carry out a total of 130 starship launches, meaning about 22 starships launched every year.
For Starship to achieve carrying out all those launches, SpaceX would have to move up the launches of the largest rocket ever built at a fast pace. Furthermore, they would need to ensure that they have more successes than failures or setbacks.
However, as much as SpaceX is planning to launch a constellation of 30,000 Starlink V2.0 satellites, which will be spaced evenly around the globe, Chinese military researchers are looking for a way to ensure that they can destroy the Starlink network at any given time.
But why would they do this? Could they be afraid of Starlink’s internet connectivity? According to the Chinese military researchers, they need to find a way in which they can disable or destroy SpaceX’s Starlink satellites if they were ever to threaten the national security of the country.
They are planning on how they are going to develop anti-satellite capabilities, which include a surveillance system that has unprecedented scale and sensitivity, and can track and monitor every Starlink satellite.
A paper published last month showed that the study was led by Ren Yuanzhen, a researcher with the Beijing Institute of Tracking and Telecommunications, under the PLA’s Strategic Support Force. Some of the coauthors of this paper were several senior scientists in China’s defense industry.
The paper, which was published in the domestic, peer-reviewed journal Modern Defense Technology, said, “A combination of soft and hard kill methods should be adopted to make some Starlink satellites lose their functions and destroy the constellation’s operating system.
Starlink has become the most ambitious satellite-communication project ever. It provides broadband internet services for commercial and military uses all over the world. Because of this, Elon Musk has become very popular among the Chinese.
They refer to him as a role model for innovation. However, Musk and his companies received a lot of criticism when two of the Starlink satellites came dangerously close to the Chinese space station last year.
According to Ren, US military drones and stealth fighter jets could increase the speed at which they transmit their data by 100 times with the help of a Starlink connection. Not so long ago, SpaceX signed a contract with the US Defense Department to help them develop new technology that will be based on the Starlink platform.
This includes some sensitive instruments that will be able to detect and track hypersonic weapons that are traveling at five times the speed of sound and even faster in the earth’s atmosphere. The Starlink satellites are also equipped with ion thrusters.
This will give them the capability to change orbits rapidly for an offensive move against high-value targets in space. This was reported by Ren’s team. With more than 2,300 satellites in orbit and more yet to be added, Starlink is generally believed to be indestructible, especially because the system can still function properly even if some of the satellites are lost or disconnected.
Because of the unprecedented scale, complexity, and flexibility of Starlink, the Chinese military is forced to develop a new anti-satellite capability. For example, it could be possible for some of the satellites to carry military payloads to be launched amid a batch of Starlink’s commercial craft.
However, this was just a suggestion. Because of this, the Chinese military had to upgrade its existing space surveillance systems to get super sharp images of these small satellites for experts to identify unusual features. At the moment, China has already developed a lot of ground-based laser-imaging devices that can take photos of orbiting satellites at millimeter resolution.
In addition to optical and radar imaging, the country would also need to be able to intercept signals from each Starlink satellite to detect any potential threat. China definitely feels threatened by the Starlink constellation because it is greatly advancing.
Their main concern is their national security, and they are doing anything to protect themselves. But do they really feel threatened? Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments down below.

Alternative energy sources will probably be the most important thing that you have to look at because it can considerably reduce your monthly electricity bills. Alternative energy options can significantly impact your monthly payments since they have the ability to decrease your bills with a huge amount. You can these sources during night time and your current energy source during the day. It's correct that renewable power sources could be a bit costly when you decide to install it, but this will be a great decision in the long run. It's usually well worth the money so you must try these out.
It will also be better if you'll substitute your light bulbs if you still incandescent bulbs. These bulbs release almost 98 percent of their ingested energy into heat so CFL or LED bulbs are more energy-efficient.
This is certainly a really large problem for the folks who are not really utilizing solar or wind energy as alternate. These options are expensive so some folks could think that they won't benefit regular homes.
Major Standards For Getting Texas Electricity Described
Electricity prices in Texas usually range in price from 4.83 to 15.02 cents a kWh contingent upon current market condition and your location: these prices are not guaranteed and are only used as an illustration.
You can look at these alternative energy options as a form of alternate source to lessen your monthly bills. You can collect energy during daytime and them at night.
News On Getting Texas Electricity
It is best to think about alternative energy options along with your existing energy source. Fundamentally, you cannot rely exclusively on renewable energy options right now to offer the energy needs of your home.
The easiest approach to preserve energy is to make of natural lighting throughout the day instead of utilizing your artificial lighting. You can simply the artificial lighting at night and let all-natural light enter your residence during the day.
Alternative energy sources will also be the best thing to look at if you'd like to significantly reduce your monthly electric bills. A number of people still think that these energy options are not a good choice because you will need to spend a lot of money. You will surely benefit in the long run if you are going to this as an alternative.
You can also try the simplest way to do it. Try utilizing natural light during the day and your artificial lighting at night. During day time, allow natural light enter your house to illuminate it and artificial lighting at night.
The most basic method to preserve energy is to make of natural lighting during the day instead of using your artificial lighting. You can your artificial lighting at night, but make sure that you permit the natural light enter your house in daytime.
Power prices for Texas usually range in price from 4.46 to 14.89 cents per kWh contingent upon current market condition and where the property is located, these prices will not be guaranteed and are only examples.
Quite a few folks have been trying to complain because of the large electricity bills monthly. This can be the truth that you have to face, specifically if you are located in Texas. Based on reports, there will likely be an increase in the cost of electricity, but it will be less compared to previous times. A number of individuals are anticipating this already. You should not sit around and wait for these companies to drain your money.
You can consider these renewable power sources as a type of alternative supply to decrease your regular bills. You can try using them the entire night and collect energy during day time.
Electricity Rate Texas - Texas Utility Price Comparison Sites - Compare Cheap Gas And Electricity Prices Texas
You must try utilizing your existing energy supply together with alternative energy sources. Fundamentally, you cannot depend exclusively on renewable power options today to provide the energy requirements of your household.
You should also understand how to correctly your appliances since they are considered as the major element in your electricity bills. It is best to start replacing your old home appliances and buy new designs. The old appliances are usually inefficient and they more energy so buying a new one will probably be beneficial. New designs up less energy and they are more efficient compared to old designs. Even if your home appliances are switched off, they can still up energy if they are plugged in the outlet. You have to unplug your appliances when you're not making use of them.

The idea was to go to Meridian Hill Park to hang out with my friend Florencia. Trouble was that we were meeting at 3 and I had a day to kill.
I decided to go for a bike ride. I’ll bet you saw that coming, didn’t you?
I took off aboard Big Nellie, my Tour Easy recumbent, heading north along the Mount Vernon Trail toward the city. The weather was perfect: warm, low humidity, a refreshing breeze, a puffy cloud interrupting the blue, blue sky. The trail was somewhat crowded but I made a reasonable pace. Now and then I came to a crawl waiting for a cluster of weekenders to step aside. Just north of Old Town Alexandria a car did a u-turn across the trail. (For some reason cars do this a lot when any point in the road would suffice.) At this point in the trail there are railroad tracks on the right. As I came to a near stop for the car, a cyclists came up behind me and passed me, crossing over the left rail in the process. The cyclists was a MAMIL, middle aged man in lycra. Actually, since he was clearly in his sixties, he probably qualified as an OMIL (the “O” being for “old”) but OMIL doesn’t quite roll of the tonque.
As the car left he began to cross back in front of me. I glanced to the left, saw his skinny front tire, and thought “He’s goin’ down in three, two, one…” BAM! His tire caught along the rail and down he went directly in front of me. He didn’t roll or skid he just stick the landing on his shoulder, hip and knee.
MOAN. “Entirely my fault. My fault.” Must have been a RABIL (retired altar boy in lycra).
I came to a stop a couple of inches from his sad repose. Two sets of walkers came along. One guy said, “Don’t move, mate.” AMT! Aussie Medical Technician.
We waited for the OMIL to get himself together and watched as he sheepishly called the wife for transport home.
I rode on weaving in and out of the trail peeps. I stopped at Gravelley Park to use a green room and watch a plane take off then headed into the city on the 14th Street Bridge. I expected that the city streets would be congested with the Rolling Thunder Memorial Day event so I stayed along the river. Ohio Drive and Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway were both barricaded so I could ride in the street all the way to Georgetown.
After a brief dance with the cars underneath the Whitehurst Freeway I picked up the Capital Crescent Trail and headed to Bethesda. The trail was crowded as expected. Dodging the walkers, bladers, runners, and cyclists took my mind off the fact that the steering on Big Nellie was messed up. One second it felt like the front wheel was going to leave me behind, the next it felt like the wheel was tracking in a rut. I gave it a good looking over in Bethesda but I could see nothing wrong.
After eating a slice of pizza at Bethesda Bagels (their pizza is as good as their bagels and that’s saying something) I took the Georgetown Branch Trail to City Bikes in Chevy Chase. There a mechanic (Travis, I think. I am awful with names) took Big Nellie for spin. He said the steering felt fine to him.
On I rode reaching the trestle over Rock Creek Park. I love the view from the treetops here.
Since I had about two hours to kill at this point, I headed north on Beach Drive in Rock Creek Park. I hadn’t ridden this road in ages and it is a beautiful place to roll. I took a wrong turn but went with the flow and ended up climbing out of the park into Kensington MD. Once there I checked my map app and found my way back to Beach Drive. I took it north all the way to Garrett Park MD. There was method in my route. I figured that if my steering failed she could come and get me at our friends’ Rulon and Heather’s place in Garrett Park.
My steering didn’t fail so I did a uey and headed back toward DC.
Since I was now going slightly downhill my pace picked up. The sketchy steering made this a tense ride but I made it without problem. I stopped to refill my water bottles and headed out of the park up the gradual hill to the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. I kept pace with a woman on a road bike and thought that the new Speedplay Frog pedals made climbing infinitely easier.
Once I was our of the park I proceeded to get lost. I think this may be my greatest cycling skill.
I knew that all I needed to do was find 16th Street and I could find Meridian Hill Park so I focused on that task. In short order I was at the park. An old man was playing chess. Groups of people where picnicing on the grass. Bench sitters were people watching. Frisbees were being tossed. Dogs were being watched. A woman in a bridal gown carried yellow flowers as her soon to be husband stood along side in his suit. The drum circle beat out a cacophonous rhythm.
I was a half hour early so I hung out alone and relaxed. After a while I spotted a woman wearing what looked like dark pink-ish tight pants. Flor? No way. I’ve never seen her in colors. So I hung out some more.
A little after three, I duck walked my bike around the park and soon pink tights lady stood up and waved. It was Flor after all. She promptly jumped aboard Big Nellie. Flor is small and Nellie is big so her ride lasted only a few yards. I think Flor secretly wants a recumbent. It would probably just fit in her efficiency condo. (Not.)
More friends arrived. Food came out. Conversation ensued. Sun shine. Breezes blew. The slack liners did their thing a few feet away. Flor’s rock climbing friend Jonna showed up with a surprise. She was on the nest as they used to say in the moving picture shows. I guessed she was six months along but she is due in three weeks. Go girl!
We hung out for three hours and then it was time to hit the road so that I’d get home before night fall.
The ride down 16th Street was surprisingly devoid of motorcycle traffic. That didn’t make it any less interesting because Big Nellie’s steering was turning my downhill glide into an adventure.
I made it home without incident, 64 miles for the day. Along the way, Big Nellie’s odometer turned 36,000 miles. Maybe the steering is dying of old age.
So I declare the day a success. Perfect weather. Windy roads in Rock Creek Park. Friends and breezes in the park.
Now it’s time to take Big Nellie to the bike doctor for exploratory surgery.
Pix of the day are here.
One thought on “To the Park the Long Way”
Umm… that makes me a ROMIL :). Great ride, fun reading!

The species composition of the seed bank and aboveground vegetation of an old field was compared to a reference grassland stand. The relative importance of dispersal and recruitment as limiting factors was analysed, and measures for appropriate restoration are proposed. Grassland species were able to re-establish in the old field soon after abandonment of cultivation, with Stipa borysthenica as the dominant species. Five years after abandonment of cultivation, the seed bank was still dominated by weedy annuals while grassland species made a relatively high contribution to the seed bank in the reference site. The results do not support recruitment to be the limiting factor in recently abandoned fields, because grassland species that occurred in the seed bank were also present in the vegetation. A rapid regeneration of the matrix species is predicted due to their good dispersal capacity and the vicinity of the open sand grassland. However, the introduction of subordinate species and the control of invasive plants might require human intervention.
Authors:A. Csecserits, R. Szabó, M. Halassy, and T. Rédei
We studied the vegetation of 54 sandy old-fields abandoned at different times. We first surveyed the vegetation in 1998 and developed predictions about the spontaneous succession using the chronosequence approach. Afterwards, we repeated the survey in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003, and based on this monitoring we tested the predictions of the chronosequence study. For both approaches, we analysed the changes in functional group composition during succession. According to the chronosequence study, the most important changes occurred in the youngest old-fields, abandoned 1–4 years ago: the species number and abundance of annuals, disturbance-requiring and anthropogenic species decreased, and those of perennials, grassland generalists, and species with low disturbance-tolerance increased. No changes were predicted for the older fields. The monitoring confirmed the predictions for the youngest old-fields. However, during the 5 years of monitoring several functional groups changed in their species number or abundance even on the older abandoned fields. Both of the methods showed that secondary succession on sandy old-fields is relatively fast. The chronosequence study provided a more static view of the processes, while the multi-year monitoring revealed that there were considerable inter-annual changes as well. With the yearly monitoring we can detect the effect of additional factors, such as land use changes (e.g., changes in grazing intensity) and yearly climate fluctuations on the direction and rate of secondary succession.

The Omnivore’s Solution
Avoid food products that carry health claims
Some food companies are putting out there that if you should buy products that are sold it will help your health. Cereal for example
They try to sell cereal that has high fiber, but in order to get fiber you need sugar, not good for you
Shop the peripheries of the super - market: stay out of the middle
If you want to learn more check out How many turns of Calvin Cycle to produce 1 glucose?
Peripheries = fresh fruit, veggies, meat, dairy, eggs included and beer. Approach on how to shop, you’re better off sometimes shopping for “real food” on the low outside. In the middle of the store there are cans, boxes, and processed foods. Most supermarkets are layed out this wayWe also discuss several other topics like What is the unit of life that transmit genetic information?
Better yet but food somewhere else
The farmers market or CSA
What does CSA mean? Community Supported Agriculture = you buy a share in a produce of a farm. You are getting foods that are in season and fresh. It goes from fall to springWe also discuss several other topics like grtep
The idea is to buy your food from your farmers market directly
Eat real food. Found at farmers market or sometimes found at you local supermarket
If you want to learn more check out What are the phases in developing a mass media research?
Pay more, eat less
Why would you want to pay more for food? What kind of food? Organic food. Just organic foods? NoDon't forget about the age old question of the sum of the social categories and concepts we embrace in addition to beliefs, behaviors (except instinctual ones), and practices; everything but the natural environment around us.
(families can’t afford real organic food so when fast food came out w/ new special low price mark. Pay more for not just food but real food) you spend less money because of poverty you will get a poor diet. If you buy real food, you get a better diet. What about eating less?
For fast food places if you paid just a little bit more but still cheap then you can not just get one big mac but you can get 2 big mac’s pay more to get a better qualityDon't forget about the age old question of elite face
Eat a wide diversity of species.
Eat more fish unread of meat. You can eat more of other animals and you can get more nutrients in your diet.
Example if a cow eats corn it’s not organic. It’s called feedlot. It’s artificial, it deprives them and their health and they get antibodies. Eat animals that eat grass or their natural diet. Even if some foods not labeled as organic can still be organic. Farmers sometimes don’t have enough money to go through the process to make it officially organic
We are limiting the amount of fish that we sell. They are restricted because we want to restock the fishing ocean. So what are we doing? We are self farming fish to create our own with poor diet
Look and if you can , grow some of your own food
Most common that a lot of people are eating out. It’s very much a trend. What’s the problem? Why should we cook? Does it make a difference? There can be more fat, salt, etc… and make it less healthful and have an effect on our diet and weight so we should cook, most food if you're out eating might be salty but we can’t tell but if you start cooking and make your own food you can taste and tell the difference. Grow your own food; if you grow your own food when you eat out you can taste the difference, plus when you eat it there will be less chemical. Because some other places spray chemical in the food to keep animal, insects an / or help the growth of the food

Democracy is a great leveller and a golden opportunity for people to improve their lives, so obviously we need MPs to be trusted – and that includes over the explosive issue of expenses.
Today’s Mirror probe into how 160 benefited from the old, discredited system to make £42million between them on houses bought with taxpayer help won’t help restore that trust.
We acknowledge previous rules allowed MPs to cash in. But that doesn’t excuse them biting criticism from voters who are still smarting a decade after the great expenses scandal.
So we challenge MPs who banked, or who are sitting on, fat profits from homes bought with public assistance to donate any windfalls to the Exchequer as a gesture of good will.
More than ever, we want renewed faith in our politicians to build a fairer Britain.
The current expenses system is significantly better but legacy questions continue to taint politics and politicians.
Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell adding his intellectual and political clout to our campaign for web giants such as Google to pay fair on tax is a warning to those arrogant international corporations.
The game is changing with the days hopefully ending when they could switch profits from country to country with impunity, minimising contributions to public services in places like Britain where they enjoy fat profits.
We welcome the prospect of a Labour government, with McDonnell in the Treasury, changing the tax system so it works for the millions instead of the internet millionaires.
Join the fight
Let us side with Debenhams’ 25,000 loyal staff as the chain becomes the latest to teeter on our battered High Streets.
We want the Government to step in and help not as public wealthfare for investors such as Mike Ashley but as the guardian of grafters who deserve Ministers fighting alongside trade unions and Labour to save their futures.

Ronnie Wood's art auction
- Bang Showbiz
- 25 June 2008
Ronnie Wood is selling his artwork on eBay.
The Rolling Stones guitarist put a painting of his former band The Faces on the internet auction website with a reserve price of £1,300 but had to withdraw the offer after it failed to even fetch half the asking price.
Ronnie, who trained at London's Ealing Art College before his music career took off, had placed the limited edition portrait of himself alongside former band member Rod Stewart on the site for a second time.
A post on his MySpace page read: "We had such a great reaction from the last listing but it ended too quickly! So here it is again - your chance to snap up a real Ronnie print framed and ready to be hung, featuring your favourite rocker and his pal Rod."
The painting only attracted five bids, with the highest at £511, before the auction was withdrawn as well as the message on Ronnie's page.

I was in a hurry to get to school, but I couldn’t find my way there. It had been raining heavily, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find the way. To prevent crime, you should consider installing CCTV cameras at your school or educational institute.
– Installing CCTV cameras at your school or educational institute will help you prevent crime and make sure that your kids are safe when they are on campus. .
– Install surveillance cameras at your home to monitor the children or pets playing outside or to check if there is a new package that has been delivered while you’re away.
– You will be able to know where your kids are and what they are doing.
Why is Crime a Problem for Education Institutions?
Crime is a problem for schools and education institutions. It is costly, disruptive, and can be a threat to the safety of students.
There are many ways in which crime can affect schools and education institutions. It can disrupt classes and make teachers feel unsafe in their classrooms. It can also lead to violence against students, faculty, and staff members.
Education institutions have been trying to figure out how they can fight crime on their own. Some have even partnered with law enforcement agencies to make schools safer. Others have invested in technology that makes them more secure from intrusions such as security cameras, motion detectors, panic buttons, etc.
How to Prevent Crime on Campus Using Security Solutions and Surveillance Cameras
With the increase in crime on campus, schools are trying to find ways to protect students from crimes. Security solutions like security cameras and security guards can help.
School safety is a top concern for many parents and school administrators. In order to ensure the safety of students and staff, schools must invest in security solutions that will help them deter crime on campus. Surveillance cameras are one of the most effective tools that schools can use.
3 Types of Security Solutions You Will Find in Education Institutions
There are three different types of security solutions that you will find in schools. They are crime prevention, school safety, and emergency preparedness.
Crime prevention solutions are designed to prevent crime from happening in the first place. They include things such as lighting, surveillance systems, and locking devices.
School safety solutions include things like lock down procedures and emergency evacuation plans. These features help ensure the safety of students and staff members during an emergency situation.
Emergency preparedness solutions include things like fire drills, evacuation procedures, and lock down procedures for emergencies that require immediate response.
Institutions That Are Using the Latest Technology to Keep Students Safe
The latest technology is being used to keep students safe. For example, the University of California, Berkeley uses facial recognition software to scan for potential threats on campus. This technology can be used by universities to scan for potential threats and also offers a way for students and parents to monitor their children’s whereabouts.

Nene divorced her husband, real estate investor Gregg Leakes, but if season 5 is any indicator there could also be a reconciliation in the works. According to the law of attraction, should you get up grumpy, it’s likely that you can see issues in your day to make you grumpier and grumpier.
Upon finding good cause, a courtroom could order that youngster assist payments proceed past the age of 18 if the child is unmarried, residing with a mother or father and is enrolled as a full-time pupil in a secondary or vocational program and making substantial progress in direction of a diploma. These organizations carry a lot of weight in their rankings and take a look at their very own distinctive elements when figuring out rankings. However, you will need to do not forget that the overwhelming majority of new legislation graduates do not begin their careers in giant firms. There have been very close, very loving properties, there were families with extreme sibling rivalry, there were families where a mum or dad favored one youngster overmuch, or the place a black sheep was cast out. By believing and performing upon that belief, YOU MAKE IT REAL, and the Law of Attraction will do the rest. It is mailed twice a yr to all Melbourne Law School alumni, college and associates.
In the following, we will first define a lot of basic legal arguments advanced by the events that recurred during the listening to in application to all or most situation areas and discernably constructed on established CJEU case regulation. When I first began practising legislation, I had a really broad apply, and infrequently had to be taught totally different areas of law rapidly. The Law Library’s Halloween get together will likely be on Monday, October 31, 2016 from eleven:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Students, faculty, and workers are invited to hitch us for food and enjoyable occasions like Boo Bowling and Autumn Tic-Tac-Toe! This new-discovered positivity inside you is an enormous attraction to the money power that is within the universe as an entire.
I have enjoyed studying your hubs ever since I joined HubPages about 18 months in the past. The National Association for Legal Career Professionals conducted a examine on attorneys who graduated in 2006 and found that solely 20% went to work for large corporations (defined as legislation firms with greater than 100 attorneys); the vast majority of new graduates went to work for companies with fewer than 50 attorneys. But many people do not notice that they’re already utilizing the Law of Attraction – in ways that retains them in a state of poverty. The real division among individuals of this college of thought has to do with the math.
Keeping up with Cravath II. And while a number of law agency partners could also be nearly as venal and petty as me, it probably is not pure ego. Houston College of Law argued that regulation college candidates have been savvy sufficient to figure out which faculty was which, even when they were initially confused. Secondly, let’s examine the law from the perspective of the actual sufferer in this case.

Apple is trying to be both the largest and coolest technology company that cares about the environment. Most Apple devices are assembled in China so the corporation decided, along with their partners, to create the China Clean Energy fund and invest $300 million in it.
China leads the way in implementing renewable energy sources, especially in the transport sector. Peolpe who buy electric vehicles can receive significant government subsidies, for example.
Apple decided to support this trend. The company will transfer $300 million to China Clean Energy over the next four years in order to attract new developers to the green energy sector in the country. The fund will be managed by the European DWS Group.
Apple representatives say that despite the rapid development and promotion of renewable energy, many Chinese companies do not have the opportunity to introduce it into their production. The fund will make green technologies more accessible.
In the spring of 2018, Apple announced that all of the company's operations are powered by renewable energy sources. Apple is now motivating its partners to take such actions.
To make the production of their devices more environmentally friendly, Apple has increased the use of recycled materials in their production. The company is also developing a new method of melting metal and investing in the Elysis program, which is aimed at combating the problem of greenhouse gases.
What about the other IT giants?
In November of 2017, Google reported that all of their offices had moved to renewable energy sources. The company's official tweet said that their recent purchases of "clean" energy - more than 3 gigawatts, now cover 100% of the company's needs.
New clean energy purchases bring our total wind and solar capacity to over 3 gigawatts—enough renewables to match 100% of the energy it takes to run our products in 2017. pic.twitter.com/8ykaWO9LU0— Google (@Google) November 30, 2017
The corporation has already invested $ 3.5 billion in "green" energy and is the largest consumer of renewable energy. The major part of the electricity they require is generated by wind farms, and the rest – by solar.
Google set out to acquire new energy sources in 2010. At the time, the company got all of its electricity from wind turbines in Iowa.
Amazon consumes up to 1.1 gigawatts of renewable energy, which is second only to Google. In 2016, Amazon was able to change over 40% of their energy consumption to green sources, and in 2017 - 50%. Recently, the company opened their fifth wind power plant which produces 253 megawatts. Amazon already owns four other wind farms - 100, 150, 189, and 208 megawatts each.
IT companies' interest in "clean" energy is not only associated with concern for the environment. In recent years the cost of energy from solar and wind power plants has decreased by 60-80%. As a result, companies are actively participating in projects related to renewable energy.
For example, in 2016 Google participated in 20 such projects, one of which is Google Sunroff, which helps those who want to install solar panels on their roof. The service helps to calculate the solar panel configuration, the cost of installation, and operation and the benefit from its use depending on the location of the house.

Yesterday the Census Bureau released the 2021 1-Year American Community Survey (ACS) Estimates. Utah popped in the national press release as having the highest share of people with private health insurance coverage (77.8%). Due to the 2020 1-Year Estimates being experimental, the Census Bureau does not recommend comparing them with other years. We will make comparisons between 2019 and 2021.
These estimates provide insights into over 40 different socioeconomic topics for communities with 65,000 or more residents. In Utah, this means we gain insights for seven counties (Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, Washington, and Weber) and 11 cities (Layton, Ogden, Orem, Provo, St. George, Salt Lake City, Sandy, South Jordan, West Jordan, and West Valley City) in addition to state-level insights.
Another area of emphasis in the national picture was the increase in people working from home. In 2019, 5.7% of U.S. workers worked from home. By 2021, this had increased to 17.9%. In Utah, a similar increase occurred, with 7.4% of workers in 2019 to 20.0% in 2021. Salt Lake County drove nearly half of the increase, with an increase of over 104,000 residents working from home between 2019 and 2021.

Some economic factors appear to have improved between 2019 and 2021. Median household and family income increased, while the share of married-couple families with children below the poverty level decreased.
One question I get often relates to new Utahns, particularly movers. However, in this data, we didn’t see statistically significant differences between 2019 and 2021 for the shares of people moving to Utah from other states. We saw changes in the share of Utah movers, with declines for those moving to other counties as well as those moving within their county.
The ACS provides a wealth of information, with data accessible at data.census.gov. If you want to learn more about gathering or working with ACS data, Census Academy is a great one-stop shop to get you started. The 5-Year ACS Estimates, which provide insights into all levels of geography, are scheduled for release in December 2022.

The Dutch socialist party is republishing an initiative that dates from 4 years ago. The initiative aims at keeping bank branches open and obliging banks to do so. There's one minor detail missing however. And that's the original problem.
Originally in 2001, the problem was that elections were coming up and the socialist party sought an issue to become popular with the public. And bank bashing always works of course (it's also a popular strategy of the European Commission to increase its popularity), so the PvdA chose to do so as well. Quite some customers were confronted with banks that chose toclose down local branches in favor of more modern means of communication and service delivery (phone, Internet). And so the plan was born to oblige banks to offer services and ensure that a bank branch was close to every 10.000 inhabitants.
When, after some discussions with banks, it turned out that the banks already fulfilled this criterion, the idea was to change the proposal and require that for every 5000 inhabitants a branch should exist (in fact a branch that would be a white labeled office allowing all bank customers to do business there). And in order to sell the idea, the concept/ideology of universal services obligation was used.
Meanwhile the public adapted to technology, new distribution channels started to take over the role of branches. But PvdA member of parliament Ferd Crone kept on revising his proposal and started an legislative initiative.
Why he has now sent it to parliament is a complete mystery. In september 2004, the Council of State advised negative: it saw no reason for legislation. The Ministry of Finance stated at the end of 2004 it deemed the proposal to be disproportionate and unnessecary. The Dutch platform for payment systems found the problem to be limited to single areas only. Furthermore a renowned Dutch expert on Universal services (van Damme) analyzed the issue and did not find a need for the legislative proposal.
I'm curious to find out if there is more to this than is apparent to the eye; otherwise I would not understand why the socialists maintain this initiative. Unless of course if this is already their first step towards the new elections......?

Calm Flow and Rhythmic Turmoil
The first modern-day musicians to show an interest in Turkish music and its astonishing wealth of different rhythms were American and African jazzers living in Europe during the 1960s. Their orientation by no means represented the earliest musical contact between West and East, of course, but was a resurgence of something far older. Not even the compositions that Mozart contributed to the history of music (a Turkish ‘retranslation’ of his “Rondo alla Turca” can be found on this CD) – based as they were on the rhythms of Ottoman military music or ‘Janissary music’ – were the earliest of their kind. The group Sarband, one of the most fascinating and outstanding ensembles in the search for early contacts between East and West, quite impressively proved years ago that such connections between Turkey and Europe date all the way back to the sixteenth century.
It may be helpful to imagine the early Ottoman Empire and its centre Istanbul (still Constantinople at that time) as a melting-pot of musical cultures, similar to Andalusian Spain during Arab rule. In the Ottoman Empire as well, different cultures encountered one another, introducing their own musical cultures and borrowing mutually. In the album “Turkish Obsession” you can find the music of the Balkans, the folk music of the Sinti and Roma and Jewish Klezmer music all contain a wealth of melodies and rhythms dating back to Turkish music (a “Terkisher” for instance, is still part of the typical repertoire of Klezmer bands). The instruments were gradually swapped and interchanged too: The large number of percussion instruments (ranging from the tiny tambourine to the enormous Turkish drum) were in use far beyond the borders of the empire, and a very loud instrument of the shawm family – the so-called Zurna – was known from the Black Sea to the Adriatic. The spectrum of this CD ranges from the calm, flowing, almost silent but still highly artistically ornamented music of the old Ottoman Empire to the powerful, aggressive rhythms of multi-talented percussionist Okay Temiz, who succeeds brilliantly in merging ethno-beat, the jazz statement and Turkish traditions.

When hair removal technology came in the mid-1990s, many people have changed how they have been plucking, waxing, and tweezing unwanted hair for decades with the help of laser hair removal. It has become the go-to method for stopping unwanted hair growth over the past twenty years. Prior to a series of laser hair removal, everybody should know a few things that will help in the process.
How Does Hair Removal Works?
While different light-based technologies are used for hair removal, all treatments are alike. The laser hair removal process emits bright light flashes onto the unwanted hair during a treatment session. As the light penetrates through the skin, it selectively targets the melanin in the hair follicles.
Correspondingly, the pigment absorbs light energy, effectively destroying the hair. In addition, multiple hairs can be treated simultaneously, which would depend on the size of the handpiece being used by the medical provider. However, multiple sessions are necessary to target the hair follicles during their growth stage, which will be explained during the consultation.
What To Expect From Laser Hair Removal?
In preparation for the hair laser hair removal, clients are advised to avoid plucking, waxing, and tanning for six weeks before the first treatment. Also, they will be asked to avoid taking medications such as blood thinners, NSAIDs, and pain relievers days before the treatment. More importantly, they are advised to take a shower and shave right before the treatment but don’t apply any lotions, moisturizers, or sunscreens to the skin.
Afterwhich, the treated area will be cleansed, while some patients will receive a numbing gel, especially for those small areas in which parts of the skin are susceptible. Note that it would take about 30 to 60 minutes for a numbing gel to work, while laser treatment will take place in a room specifically for laser treatments.
The licensed medical professional and the patients must all wear protective eyewear during the procedure inside the treatment room. The skin is pulled tight, and the skin is treated with a laser to perform the procedure. The laser pulses typically feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin, as many patients experienced it.
As the laser removes hair by vaporizing it, it causes small plumes of smoke that give a sulfur-like smell. Moreover, the duration of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated. Treating the upper lip takes minutes. If it’s being done in a large area like the back or legs treated, the treatment may last more than an hour.
When Will Laser Hair Removal Result Show?
After the treatment, the results will be visible immediately. However, it is important to note that each result varies per patient as well as the hair color and thickness, treatment area, laser type used, and skin color will also affect the results. More importantly, one can definitely expect a reduction in hair for about 10% to 25% after the first treatment.
Additionally, most patients need 2 to 6 laser treatments to remove the hair. Also, most patients do not see any hair on the treated skin for several months or even years, and there tends to be less hair that is finer and lighter when the hair regrows.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
Even though laser treatment is termed a permanent hair removal procedure, that might not be the case. In laser treatment, a specialized radiation beam is targeted to a particular skin area as it produces heat that either damages or destroys the hair follicles are a sac-like structure from which the hair shaft grows out.
Typically, all the hair follicles are not destroyed after the first treatment. But because most hair follicles are damaged, there isn’t any hair growth for an extended period. Consequently, the new hair that grows out is usually more delicate and lighter in color. Overall, multiple laser treatment sessions will be required to get satisfactory results from this treatment and maintenance sessions later to keep the desired area hair-free.
Are There Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
The good news about the laser hair removal treatment is that it generally does not require downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.
While laser hair removal treatment is mainly considered safe, there might be side effects linked to it that the medical providers will discuss, and it should only be performed under their supervision. Most people will tolerate this treatment, but some may experience adverse reactions post-treatment.
To remove worries, patients may want to consider getting a patch test done by their doctor before the full procedure. However, here are the most common side effects of laser treatment are:
- Some amount of swelling
Keep in mind that these common side effects typically disappear by themselves for a short period of time. A topical ointment prescription to apply to the treated area if deemed necessary as advised by a dermatologist. They’re also less common adverse effects of laser treatment include:
- Changes in skin color of the treated area
- Crusting or Scarring
- Skin infections
- Burns Or Blisters
- Eye Injury
The Bottom Line
Laser therapy involves using advanced equipment to let you achieve the desired hair removal results. It is best to have it administered by a doctor or a dermatologist at all stages of this treatment. At Truth Med Spa, they offer Laser Hair Removal that will help you remove that unwanted hair while targeting pigments in the hair. This technology will get to the hair follicle and damage it beyond repair to not produce any more hair, thus reducing hair growth.
If you want a long-term hair removal solution that is very safe, efficient, and will get you rid of your hair for a long time, this treatment fits the description. At Truth Med Spa, they provide the best experience possible to help boost your confidence for a hairless look. Ultimately, TRUTH Med Spa is more than just a name, it’s their philosophy.


National Insurance Contributions
Rates and limits (Table D)
The rates and thresholds for NIC were announced in the Autumn Statement. The threshold at which employees start to pay NIC increases from £7,956 to £8,060. After one year at the same level, the employer threshold is once again not quite the same as that for employees – £156pw instead of £155pw. The upper earnings limit, at which the rate for employee contributions drops from the full 12% to 2%, rises from £41,865 to £42,385; raising this threshold saves 40% tax, but collects more NIC. A £104 increase in the starting threshold means that most people will pay £12.48 less; a £520 increase in the upper limit means that those who earn above that will pay £52 more.
There were no general changes to the Employment Allowance, introduced in 2014/15, which relieves most employers from the first £2,000 of employers' NIC each year. The original rules excluded certain categories of employers from the relief – for 2015/16, it will be extended to cover care and support workers.
As announced last year, employers' NIC will also be reduced to zero from 6 April 2015 for employees aged under 21 on earnings up to £815pw. This will be extended to all apprentices a year later.

MV Werften Fertigmodule has started to build prefabricated passenger cabins that will be installed onboard Crystal Yacht Expedition Cruises’ Endeavor mega yachts and Star Cruises’ two Global Class vessels, which will be built by German shipyard MV Werften.
Genting Hong Kong group president Colin Au, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s economics minister Harry Glawe and numerous representatives of MV Werften attended a ceremony to mark the start of production.
“Today we are starting with preliminary cabin production and employee training,” said Volker Asmus, managing director of MV Werften Fertigmodule. “After the training phase, we will deliver the first cabins to MV Werften in March – crew cabins for the Endeavor expedition yacht.”
MV Werften Fertigmodule will produce a total of 3,400 passenger cabins, passenger suites and crew cabins for each of the Global Class cruise ships. In addition, the company will build 150 crew cabins for each of the Endeavor mega yachts. All of the cabins will be delivered to MV Werften’s shipyards in Wismar, Rostock and Straslund as fully prefabricated modules so they can be installed quickly. The first will be delivered in early 2018.
“Fully prefabricated cabins are the most time-saving and cost-effective solution in cruise ship building,” said Johannes Gößler, managing director of MV Werften Fertigmodule. “As a result of our preliminary work, construction time onboard will be kept as low as possible. We also work with an ultra-modern and automated production line that meets the highest safety and quality standards.”
MV Werften Fertigmodule has a 9,000 square metre production area with a 75-metre-long production line. Cabins will be produced every 20 minutes during 15 coordinated work processes, meaning the factory will average 20 per day. By 2026, production will be gradually increased to around 7,000 per year.

Discussing Final Fantasy video games will be divisive at occasions, particularly amongst probably the most devoted followers. Each sport is totally different, that includes its personal fight mechanics, programs and story. Everyone has their favorite, which normally simply so occurs to be the primary they performed, usually through the latter years of highschool.
It’s for that motive that we keep that Final Fantasy VIII is the very best one, and it is for that opinion that we have now been cruelly ridiculed at occasions, however we digress.
Naoki Yoshida is aware of this and is getting out in entrance of it within the case of the subsequent mainline entry within the sequence, Final Fantasy XVI, a mission on which he serves as producer. In an interview with the Japanese website Comic Days, which involves us by way of VGC, Yoshida speaks to the considerations some extra old-school followers would possibly really feel in regards to the sequence’ shift to extra action-based fight:
“We need the world, particularly the youthful era, to play the sport. Also, the mainstream video games these days are intuitive video games the place you press a button and the character shoots a gun or wields a sword, and the normal RPG model of turn-based command preventing is now not acquainted to them.”
“It can be a incontrovertible fact that individuals are changing into much less conversant in the old school model of RPGs, the place you struggle by deciding on flip instructions. That’s why the battles in Final Fantasy 16 are very action-based. We wish to make individuals all around the world suppose that Final Fantasy is a superb sport.
This speaks to the sentiment that some have felt, with entries like Final Fantasy XV and Final Fantasy VII Remake ditching the turn-based roots of the franchise in favour of a extra trendy model of fight.
“Of course, I don’t think we’ll be able to satisfy everyone’s demands, so I’ve told everyone on the team that the first thing we need to do is to make something we think is fun, and make sure it reaches the people who like it.”
“This is not an argument of what is good or bad, but there is a difference based on the player’s preferences and age,” he mentioned on the time. “Furthermore, there’s a huge distinction between a command system and a turn-based system, and these are sometimes conflated, however are two totally different ideas.
“RPGs originated with tabletop RPGs, and I think that gaming RPGs were invented by replacing the tabletop discussions with commands in video games. As I said, I believe I know the fun of command system RPGs, and I want to continue developing them, but I thought about the expected sales of Final Fantasy XVI and the impact that we have to deliver.”
What do you consider Yoshida’s feedback? Are you excited in regards to the change in the direction of action-based fight, or do you miss the turn-based days of the sequence roots? Wait in your ATB gauge to fill earlier than venturing into the feedback part beneath.

Bumi Armada, Woodside in FPSO contract dispute
After receiving a notice of contract termination from Woodside for the FPSO Armada Claire on March 4, the plot has thickened with Bumi Armada serving a counter notice to Woodside.
Bumi Armada’s subsidiary Armada Balnaves sent the notice of termination to Woodside on Friday, March 11.
The company stated that Woodside, by issuing the notice of termination on March 4 and its subsequent conduct, evinced, and continued to evince, an intention to no longer be bound by the terms of the contract.
According to the parent company, this amounted to a repudiation of the contract which entitled Armada Balnaves to terminate it. Armada Balnaves reserves the right to claim damages against Woodside for its breach of the contract, Bumi Armada added.
To remind, Armada Balnaves signed the contract with Apache Energy for the provision of a floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) for the Balnaves field, in September 2011.
The contract was for an initial fixed term charter of 4 years expiring in August 2018, with options for 4 annual extensions. At the time of the award, the contract was valued at approximately Ringgit Malaysia 1.46 billion ($357.5M).
According to the deal, the Armada Claire has been operating in the Balnaves Field off Australia since delivering first oil in August 2014.
After Woodside bought Apache’s 65% interest in the Balnaves field in April 2015, the contract was novated to Woodside in May 2015.
