The global peach and nectarine crop is estimated to fall 5% to 21.0 million tons, due to adverse weather conditions in top producers China and the EU, according to USDA/FAS data. The reduced harvest is expected to lower global exports.
After the bumper 2019 crop, the EU’s 2020 harvest is predicted down 15% to 3.5 million tons, due to a variety of damaging weather events in leading producers Spain, Italy, Greece, and France. In addition, a saturated market in recent years has led to reduced planted area in Spain, Italy, and France, with Spain shifting some production towards tree nuts. Exports are forecast down 13% to 155,000 tons. However, imports are only marginally up as domestic supplies can meet most local demand.
In China, heavy snow in April caused damage during fruit set and is expected to the crop by 3% to 14.5 million tons. Exports are projected to plummet 33% to 80,000 tons as Russia continues its ban on imports of fruit from China. Russia was China’s third-largest market until August 2019, when phytosanitary concerns led to a ban. China’s imports are expected forecast up jump 40% to 38,000 tons, with much of the rise due to greater shipments from Chile before COVID-19 disruptions had an impact.
Turkey’s peach and nectarine crop is forecast to grow 5% to 870,000 tons in the 2020/21 campaign, according to Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkSTAT). Exports are increasing due to the large production volumes and the strong demand from the Russian and EU markets. Turkey continues to be among the top ten exporters in the world for peaches and nectarines. Farmers in major growing areas are generally satisfied with the yields and quality of their crop thanks to favourable weather conditions during the blooming and harvest period. Most of the peach varieties planted in Turkey are Early Amber, Spring Crest, May Crest, Red Haven and Early Red.
Planting area for peach production in Turkey continues to increase due to new investments for the export market and juice industry in the last decade. The total estimated number of all peach and nectarine trees was about 21 million in 2019. The total number of bearing trees increased from 14 million in 2009 to 17.4 million in 2019.
Use of peaches/nectarines for processing is forecast at 130,000 tons in 2020/21, similar to 2019/20. Approximately 15% of all peach production is used for juice. Turkish consumers prefer fruit juices of peach, cherry and apricot in “nectar” form. Nectars are very popular, but there is also a growing trend for 100% fruit juices. Peaches are also used to make canned products, marmalades, and are sold as frozen fruit.
Turkey is one of the largest exporters of stone fruit in the world, exporting over 250,000 tons annually, with the majority going to EU countries and Russia. Turkish exporters are also looking for opportunities for stone fruits such as cherries in the Far East, particularly China in recent years. Turkey exported 884 tons of fresh stone fruit to China in 2019.
Taiwan is expected to import up to 15,000 tons of peaches and nectarines in 2020, mainly from the US and Chile, according to USDA data. Taiwan’s own domestic peach and nectarine crop is forecast to be up 18% to 19,000 tons in 2020 thanks to generally favourable growing condition and orchards reaching maturity. Taichung and Taoyuan remain the largest producing regions, accounting for almost 80% of domestic production. Taoyuan mainly produces early sweet varieties, including honey peaches at the higher altitudes.
The Taiwanese are among the world’s largest fruit consumers. Wholesale chains have a strong preference for imported products because of their competitive prices compared to domestic production. Both the local sweet peaches and the honey peaches are considered premium fruits due to their taste and appearance. The honey peach is a local variety that stays on the tree until the end of the season when the weather gets colder and the sugars increase rapidly and the acids decrease. They often sell for ten times the price of regular peaches in retail.
Still, both the imported and domestic peaches from Taiwan are highly dependent on consumer whims. They will not hesitate to buy the most price-competitive fruit, but are not brand loyal. Total fruit consumption therefore continues to grow, but there is little loyalty to a particular variety.
Meanwhile, cherry imports are slightly higher than last year, at 12,000 tons, with few negative Covid-related effects observed on consumption patterns.
Japan’s 2020/21 cherry crop is expected to recover from a difficult 2019/20 season, but unfavourable weather conditions are set to lead to a smaller peach harvest, according to FAS/Tokyo. In 2019/20, Japan imported 4,152 tons of fresh cherries, worth US$40 million. The United States supplied 95.3% of all Japan’s cherry imports. Japan’s imports of sweet cherries are projected to increase by 1% to 4,200 tons from 2019/20 levels due to steady consumption and a recently reduced tariff for sweet cherries. Japan does not import sour cherries, and its cherry exports are negligible (approximately 1 ton).
Japan imports no peaches and the US is the sole exporter of fresh nectarines to Japan. In 2019/20, Japan imported 186 tons of US nectarines. In light of the small shipping volumes and higher freight charges due to COVID-19-related flight reductions, FAS/Tokyo forecasts Japan’s 2020/21 imports to decrease by 14% to 160 tons.
In line with Japan’s 2014 national policy, Japan Revitalization Strategy, to increase agricultural exports to 1 trillion yen (approximately US$10 billion) by 2020, Japan has been gradually increasing fresh peach exports. Due to the higher price for Japanese peaches in foreign markets compared to Japan, Japan’s peach exports continued to increase even when peach production took a downturn in 2019/20. In 2019/20, Japan exported 1,780 tons of peaches, worth about US$17 million. The main markets were Hong Kong (72.2%)and Taiwan (20.4%). FAS/Tokyo forecasts export volume to decrease by 15.7% to 1,500 tons in 2020/21 due to political instability in Hong Kong and high air freight charges due to COVID-19.
ACN Naoussa has launched NaouGusta, the new premium line of PDO peaches and nectarines for the consumer who appreciates a high-quality product: “The NaouGusta line includes the famous Naoussa PDO peaches and nectarines, fruits carefully selected for their high quality and superior standards, characterised by their attractive and immediately recognisable packaging. These fruits are stored in our cells to preserve their taste and colouring,” said director Thanos Economou. After a promotion period with Greek retailers, the cooperative’s range of products is now mainly destined for foreign markets in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
Founded in 1927 when 50 producers of the Naoussa region founded one of Greece’s first cooperatives, ACN Naoussa is made up of 1,457 producers who supply over 25,000 tons of fresh fruit per year. Each associated company specialises in a particular product, including peaches and nectarines, kiwis, apricots, apples and plums.
Global peach and nectarine harvest is expected to set a new record of 22.3 million tons in 2019 (+10%), as orchards in China, the EU, and the US recover from the weather-hit 2018 campaign, according to USDA data. The growth in supply is expected to boost imports and exports.
China’s harvest production is estimated to break all records, reaching 15.0 million tons (+9.7), thanks to favourable growing conditions in the Shandong province. Accordingly, exports are set to rise almost 60% to 100,000 tons, driven by higher shipments to Vietnam. Imports are also set to rise (to 28,000 tons), with arrivals from Chile and Australia, the latter having recently signed a bilateral Free Trade Agreement with China.
US production is up almost 20% to 814,000 tons, thanks to excellent conditions during critical points of the season. The larger crop will raise exports to 75,000 tons (mainly to Mexico and Canada), while imports are expected to fall, due to lower shipments from Chile.
A large EU crop is expected, with output up 7% to 4.1 million tons. The increased supplies are expected to drive exports up by almost 30% to 200,000 tons, while lowering imports to 30,000 tons.
Japan’s 2018/19 peach crop was down 9.5% to 111,500 tons, as the hot June and July with little rainfall during the maturation period July reduced fruit size. The 2019/20 harvest is expected to be similarly impacted by the weather, with FAS/Tokyo forecasting a fall in output of 11.7% to 100,000 tons. In Western Japan, up to 10% of peach trees were damaged by a typhoon in autumn 2018, while frost and hail caused damage in the centre of the country.
In 2018/19, Japan’s fresh peach exports totalled 1,726 tons (worth US$16 million). The main destination markets are Hong Kong and Taiwan. With a smaller crop expected, exports are forecast to fall 13% in 2019/20 to 1,500 tons. The US is the only country that can export peaches to Japan.
Favourable weather conditions in most production countries mean that the EU’s peach and nectarine production is estimated to rise in 2019/20. According to FAS Post data, volumes are up 6.6% to 4.1 million tons countries. EU stone fruit exports continue to decline in the face of the continued Russian embargo imposed in 2014 on exports of food and agricultural products. The area planted is expected to remain stable at around 222,900 ha. EU Consumption of fresh peaches and nectarines is estimated to be up 6% to 3.2 million tons due to higher supply and high temperatures. Peaches and nectarines for processing should rise to 710,000 tons in line with the increased supply.
While EU imports of peaches and nectarines rose in 2018/19 by 28% to 34,855 tons (US$86 million), they are expected to fall in 2019/20 due to the bumper crop. The leading suppliers of peaches and nectarines to the EU are Chile, South Africa, Turkey and Morocco.
As for its exports, the main destinations for EU peaches and nectarines are Belarus, Switzerland and the Ukraine.
Australia’s 2019/20 peach and nectarine crop is set to climb 2% to 96,000 tons from the previous year, according to FAS Canberra data. The growth is due to old varieties being replaced with newer more productive ones. The crop has benefited from large parts of the main production area, Victoria, receiving plenty of rainfall in recent months. Nectarines account for 53% of the crop and peaches for 47%. The Australian harvest runs from November to January for peaches and from January to February for nectarines.
Australia’s fresh peach and nectarine exports volumes have doubled in volume over the past five years. They are expected to reach 17,000 tons in 2019/20 (up 9%) on the back of the good crop and the increasing demand from China, which accounts for about 44% of the total. In 2018/19 alone, China’s imports were up 68% in volume. Protocols were signed in 2017 to allow Australia to export nectarines to China, while in 2018, protocols were signed for peach, apricot and plum imports from Australia for the first time.
Domestic consumption is set to remain stable, with the increase in volumes heading to overseas markets. Around 71% of the peaches and nectarines produced in Australia went to fresh domestic consumption.
Turkey’s total peach and nectarine production for 2019/20 is expected to rise 5% to 830,000 tons, according to data published by the Turkish Statistics Institute (TurkSTAT). Yields and quality are generally considered satisfactory thanks to favourable weather conditions. Planting area for peach continues to expand with a focus on export markets and the juice industry, and now stands at 46,400 ha. Indeed, Turkey is among the world’s top-ten exporters of peaches and nectarines. The most common peach varieties in Turkey are Early Amber, Spring Crest, May Crest, Red Haven and Early Red. The Turkish season runs from April to early October
Peach and nectarine production for processing is forecast at 135,000 tons in 2019/20, around 15% of all peach production. The Turkish juice industry is growing at about six% annually (for all fruit juices). Turkey exports more than 250,000 tons of stone fruits annually, mainly to the EU and Russia.

Gogglebox stars Dom and Steph Parker insist separate bedrooms are the key to a happy marriage and they feared fireworks while sharing a tent on a camping holiday.
The posh pair have become telly favourites through sitting side-by-side on a sofa to chat about programmes for the Channel 4 show.
And today they reveal the secret of their happy relationship.
“Sleep, humour and separate bedrooms,” Steph told the Sunday People . “We’ve been married 18 years and together for 20 years, and the key is separate bedrooms.
“We love spending time apart. It’s good to have your own space. It’s rare that couples can have as much time together as we do and we respect it.”
So it is remarkable that the pair, known for their love of wine, for their posh accents and no-nonsense opinions on Gogglebox , agreed to go on their first camping trip.
B&B owners Dom, 51, and Steph, 49, normally choose exotic luxury locations for their holidays. But this year they drove around France with a tent.
Last week’s trip was the first time in years they had shared the same sleeping area – and Steph was worried.
She admitted: “I wasn’t looking forward to the sleeping bag situation. In the same tent with Dom I had nowhere to hide.”
And she revealed it was a bumpy ride at times as arguments flared.
Steph said: “It was rather a challenge, an interesting experience. But at least it wasn’t raining.
“We got lost a couple of times and missed turnings. It was down to lack of concentration on his part.”
But Dom blamed Steph for their driving mishaps.
He said: “We had some tetchy moments when I kept missing turns. Steph was in charge of the map, so I blame her.”
A driving holiday also meant that the couple, always shown sharing a bottle of wine on Gogglebox, had to stay off the booze until they made camp for the night.
Steph recalled. “We were buying it and not drinking it because we were driving. Once we got to our campsite we would crack into it.”
Luckily they were in the Champagne region of France on Don’s birthday and so it seemed only right to open a bottle of bubbly.
He said: “Even though it was my birthday, Steph didn’t hold back on telling me how much of an idiot I am.”
The hit show that made stars out of the pair features families, friends and partners sitting in living rooms across the UK and giving their views on that week’s TV.
It won a Bafta award in 2014 and National Television Awards in 2015 and 2016 as viewing figures hit four million.
The pair also run their B&B business from their grand Grade I-listed home The Salutation in Sandwich, Kent.
That means they find themselves together most of the time, which is why they feel the need to be apart sometimes.
But as he reflected on their 18-year marriage, Dom said: “It’s flown by. I’m surprised we’ve made it this far but it doesn’t really feel as long as all that.
“It’s like breathing in and out. When you’re with the right one, it just feels natural.”
They have two children Max, 15, and Honor, 12, who they keep away from the cameras. But their beloved dachshund Gigi has become a regular feature on Gogglebox, often perching herself on their laps.
The pooch missed out on their trip to France because she did not have a pet passport, much to Steph’s disappointment. She said: “I’m really missing her. We’ll take her next time.”
After months of caring for guests at the B&B, the couple were looking forward to a well-earned break and letting others pamper them for a change.
“Having someone doing stuff for us for a change was nice. I enjoyed people cooking for me,” Steph said.
The Salutation B&B is an eight-bedroom detached house with a number of outbuildings.
Every day working there is different, and never dull, Steph said.
She revealed: “Our guests come from all walks of life. But one of our most challenging customers was a woman who lived locally.
"It was a Valentine’s Day evening and she ended up dancing on top of the grand piano, naked apart from a fur coat. The only thing that upset the other guests was the fact she was wearing fur.
“You never know what’s going to come next.”
Dom added: “We have a lot of people getting locked out and losing their keys.
“We lost a guest once. This woman just disappeared for hours. Nobody had an idea where she went. Then she just turned up as if nothing had happened.
“It was all very strange. Her family were very concerned.”
The couple were shocked by the death last week of Caroline Aherne , who narrated Gogglebox. As far as Dom and Steph are concerned, Gogglebox has lost its voice because she was central to the show.
Narrator Caroline, 52, had been battling cancer. She became a TV favourite because of her work in The Royle Family, The Mrs Merton Show and The Fast Show.
Dom said: “Sadly, we never got the chance to meet Caroline. We were devastated when we heard she passed away. We had known that she had struggled with cancer for years but we were under the impression that was all over and done with.
“It’s a terribly sad loss for comedy and entertainment. Caroline was the glue that held the show together.”
Steph added: “It was dreadful news. She was much loved by all of us on the show.”
Earlier this year Caroline returned to Gogglebox after taking two years off for treatment. Her friend and writing partner Craig Cash is now taking over her role.
Steph and Dom teamed up with breakdown cover provider GreenFlag for their French camping trip.

Plastic Surgery: A Practical Guide to Operative Care by Bruce Mast fills the gap between existing pocket handbooks and encyclopedic library shelf editions. The book is geared towards plastic surgeons early in their careers. The focus is on commonly encountered conditions and is not intended to be an all-inclusive resource. All the surgical chapters are uniformly organized, with discussion of goals and objectives, patient presentation, surgery preparation, treatment, postoperative care, outcomes, and questions.
The book is divided into eight sections, starting with science and principles which discusses impacted anatomy and different techniques such as grafts, flaps, microsurgery, lasers, and radiant energy. Subsequent sections cover skin and tissue conditions; pediatric plastic surgery; reconstructive and aesthetic craniofacial techniques; hand and upper extremity reconstruction; breast surgery inclusive of augmentation, mastopexy, reduction, reconstruction, and oncoplastic approaches; chest, trunk, and lower extremity reconstruction; and body contouring techniques including liposuction, abdominoplasty, and lower body lift.

Some people don’t mind, or even enjoy the natural taste of hemp oil tinctures. For those who are bothered by the distinctive herbal taste of hemp extract, a flavored CBD oil tincture may be better. We’ve selected a variety of both flavored and unflavored CBD oil tinctures in this roundup, and many of the brands selected offer multiple options. If you still can’t stand the flavor of CBD tincture, consider another option like CBD gummies or capsules. Topical CBD is another popular choice, especially if you’re treating body aches or certain skin problems.
Hi I've had rsd over 25 years now and in stage 3 I take cbd I'mor nong 6 weeks now and it's helped tons w my depression,sleep,constipation as well as energy. I take 2 drops under tounge every morning and Rick spson oil 3 xs day.It's bern beyond life changing for me look into the rs oil w the cbd. It works.. I still take 1 opiad a day have taken 2 a day only 3 times in almost 2 months when I was in bad flare ..
Hi Lauren I've just started today with 250mg cbd oil. I'm starting low to see what happens. I've nerve damage across buttocks from a laminectomy. I've not been able to sit for 5 years. I've recently started with a muscle spasm in my left buttock and the muscle above is painful. It is only the first day, also tried a cbd night time tea as well. Do change in muscle pain so tight on my left hand side. How long before felt it starting to work please. I'm trying not to expect changes straightaway. I also take 1100mg gabapentin and 30mg amitriptyline and I hate both of them - they both can cause muscle tightness affecting the nerve. Thank you Lyn

Buying online is less reliable still because there’s no regulation or standardization. What you see on the label may not be what you are getting. A 2017 study in JAMA found that of the 84 CBD products researchers bought online, 43% had more CBD than indicated, while 26% had less, and some had unexpected THC. “There’s a 75% chance of getting a product where the CBD is mislabeled,” says Marcu, one of the study’s coauthors.
A study analysis in Journal of Pain Research confirms that topical use of certain cannabinoid topicals can reduce pain in animals with inflammation or neuropathic pain. And science has found topical creams with THC and CBD help relieve pain for conditions like multiple sclerosis. But for the vast majority of chronic pain—and most certainly for acute pain like post-workout—the scientific jury is 100 percent still out. "There's a little bit of data in support of CBD for pain relief, but to go from animal to human is a giant leap," Sexton says.

Kat’s Naturals offers five non-THC tinctures of varying concentrations: Heal and Naked (1,500mg), Balance (750mg), Metabolize (500mg), and Relax (300mg). All five tinctures are available in 5mL to 30mL containers, which can sustain users anywhere from five days to four weeks, depending on their dosage. Kat’s Naturals tinctures are derived from 99% pure fat soluble CBD isolate and pose no risk for yielding positive results on drug tests. For best results, Kat’s Naturals recommends ingesting three to five drops under the tongue and holding them in place for 60 seconds.
My grandma has advanced rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis - debilitating pain and inflammation. She's on the 4th failed infusion. Nothing was working to control her pain and inflammation. I purchased the 1000mg mint CBD and the topical. I put the topical on her knees, ankles, shoulders, back, hips, and then gave her 15 1000mg drops. She instantly felt relief with the topical. She said it was a cooling pain relief. The topical smells really good.
Third-party testing: Once a CBD oil is manufactured, CBD oil companies will often submit their products for third-party tests, which are conducted by non-company personnel to ensure the product is safe for public consumption and meets quality standards.CBD oils should always be accompanied with information about third-party tests; best practice is to avoid oils that do not supply these details.
"CBD increases the circulating levels of your natural endocannabinoids, which, in turn, interact with your cannabinoid receptors," Bonn-Miller says. "CBD has also been shown to interact with serotonin receptors, and that may be part of why it has some beneficial effects on anxiety. It also interacts with some pain receptors, which may be why we're starting to see effects on pain and inflammation."
Hi, I have had spondylolisthesis since age 11 which left me with extreme nerve pain...restless leg syndrome. Had 3 spinal ops and also had hip surgery 2 years ago. have asthma and hypothyroidism. I can deal with everything else but this nerve pain is insane. Used Gabapentin for 9 years and now its not in the market in Nairobi, Kenya where I live. Am on Lyrica, which is not working. I started Cbd oil in August but now found my body has become immune to the effects of pain releif I was getting. Can anyone suggest what strength oil/cbd supplement I should aim for? Currently am making flapjacks with weed, have one every night but this makes me high which I dont want. I still wake up in pain at night, please help.
For the large majority of average users though, a high-quality full-spectrum CBD oil will be the better, more efficient option. These concentrated oils have delivered incredible results so far, and have been observed to effectively treat everything from anxiety, to diabetes, to severe chronic pain. And with the inevitable continued research that’s to come, it’s expected that the quality of full-spectrum products will only continue to get better and better. (And of course, given that hemp products are legal in all 50 states, you don’t even need a medical marijuana card to purchase it).
Our reviews also include the ingredients and a description of the scent and texture of each CBD topical. We tried to remain neutral in our descriptions of each product, since each consumer’s experience is subjective. These are all high-quality CBD creams, balms and salves, but you may find you prefer one scent over another. You might love or hate menthol. Some people prefer a light texture, while other buyers are looking for CBD topicals to use in a massage.


India to cut red tape and issue visas on arrival in a bid to boost tourism
Famed for its complicated bureaucracy, India is no different when it comes to applying for a visa - with holidaymakers often having to wait two weeks or more to receive approval to visit the country.
But now in a bid to boost tourism and business, the government is launching a visa-on-arrival scheme for visitors from 180 countries, including the UK.
The scheme is expected to be rolled out by October, in time for India's peak tourist season. It will allow holidaymakers to pick up a 30-day visa at the airport upon arrival.
See the sights: It will be easier to visit India from October thanks to a government plan to issue visas on arrival
The current visa process involves submitting an online form, sending your passport to the Indian High Commission along with photos and a pre-paid envelope for your documents to be returned. The visa itself costs £80 and there is a £12.20 handling fee.
The application can be so complicated that some tourists choose to pay companies to fill out their visa form on their behalf, costing around £45.
The new system will still involve a fee - although the amount is still unconfirmed - and tourists will be encouraged to visit an official website to apply and pay the charge before they fly. The visa will then be available for pick up at one of 26 major airports after three days.
Winter sun: The colourful coastal state of Goa is a particularly popular destination for British tourists
There are only 11 countries currently eligible for a visa on arrival, including Finland, Singapore and Japan. But with the extension of the scheme, most countries will be included except nationals from Pakistan, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Somalia.
Tourism Minister K Chiranjeevi said: 'This is a very good step. The visa-on-arrival for 180 countries will definitely boost the foreign tourist arrivals in the country.'
Planning Minister Rajeev Shukla confirmed that the government hopes to roll out the new visas by the beginning of October.
Western & Oriental’s Indian Subcontinent programme manager Jane Manzoni said: 'We’ve already had clients inquire about the new visa-on-arrival scheme for India so the evidence points to a real boost for tourism going forward.
'The impact could be two-fold – the current system with its fairly lengthy process puts people off travelling to India and although there are not-to-be missed highlights including cultural touring in Rajasthan and spa and beach holidays in Kerala, travellers tend to default to places with an instant visa process.
'And of course India will also become accessible to travellers looking for a last minute holiday getaway and to those who may not have considered travelling to India in the past.'
Helen Pink, Kuoni UK sales support executive addedL 'If the proposed electronic visa on arrival service in India is implemented later this year, it would significantly reduce the time it currently takes to process visa applications and give customers greater flexibility and the opportunity to book a last minute holiday.'

Nearly a century ago, the Hippodrome opened as a combination movie palace and vaudeville theater, spending more than 70 years hosting big names such as Bob Hope and Frank Sinatra. Following a double-decade period of slow business and bad hairstyles, the Hippodrome closed down in 1990. Now, however, after an exhaustive restoration project that reanimated the theater’s chandelier-lit arches, the mural above the proscenium stage, and the grand-theater boxes that hearken back to opera’s heyday, the Hippodrome reopens to the delight of Baltimore’s cultural landscape.


The wind speeds in pedestrian spaces for staggered rectangular block arrays derived from large-eddy simulations are analyzed to model the urban pedestrian wind environment. The authors defined the area within 3 m of block walls as the pedestrian space and compared wind speeds in it under various geometric conditions. According to the result, the wind speeds in pedestrian spaces are influenced by the plan area ratio (λp) and block aspect ratio (αp). In addition, an exponential equation in terms of λp and αp can estimate the wind speed ratio well at the pedestrian level, especially for regions in front of blocks.

NEWPORT NEWS — The Peninsula Airport Commission on Thursday hired two law firms to handle its legal work going forward, following the ouster of its longtime attorney in early 2017.
The commission, the body that oversees the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport, voted 3-0 to hire the team of Kaufman and Canoles, based in Norfolk, and Hogan Lovells, based outside Washington, D.C.
Eric E. Ballou, a Kaufman and Canoles attorney who previously served as the outside counsel for the Richmond International Airport, will handle the bulk of the legal work. But some jobs, such as on Federal Aviation Administration matters, will be farmed out to Hogan Lovells.
Ballou’s work will be billed at $375 an hour, while other lawyers will charge varying rates.
“We had a good process, and I think we ended up with a good attorney,” said airport commission member Jay Joseph, citing the “depth and breadth” of Kaufman and Canoles and the fact that Ballou “had long experience at the Richmond airport.”
“After their presentation, based on their reputation and the experts that they were bringing with them, I thought they were the best pick,” board member Rob Coleman added of the combination of the two firms.
In March 2017 — as controversy swirled around the airport’s $5 million 2014 loan guarantee to People Express Airlines — the airport ended its relationship with its former law firm, Jones Blechman Woltz & Kelly, which had provided advice on the loan deal.
One of Jones Blechman’s partners, Herbert V. "Bert" Kelly Jr., and his late father before him, Herbert V. Kelly Sr., had represented the airport for about six decades, with the airport’s terminal named after the elder Kelly.
But a Virginia Department of Transportation audit in June 2017 cited as a "potential and/or perceived conflict of interest" the fact that the younger Kelly worked on the loan guarantee to People Express even as he served on the Peninsula board of TowneBank, the company that issued the $5 million loan.
Kelly’s written assurance in 2014 that the loan guarantee passed legal muster was later countered by a 2017 Virginia attorney general's opinion that it violated the state constitution.
Since March 2017, most of the airport’s legal work has been handled by James S. McNider III, a Hampton attorney hired on an emergency interim basis in March 2017.
Six law firms had applied for the permanent job this past August, and a team made up of airport staffers and assistant city managers from Newport News and Hampton culled the list to three firms that got interviews: The Kaufman & Canoles and Hogan Lovells team; Vandeventer Black, of Norfolk; and Sands Anderson, of Richmond.
Joseph, Coleman and Airport Executive Director Mike Giardino then interviewed those finalists in October. Following their unanimous recommendation on Thursday, three commissioners — Joseph, Coleman and George Wallace — then voted the new team in.
But board chairwoman Sharon Scott abstained from the vote, saying she hadn’t been kept in the loop on the process before Thursday’s meeting and didn’t have enough time to consider the recommendation. Giardino told Scott he had sent commissioners the score sheets after the initial culling phase.
McNider was one of the six applicants for the legal work, but didn’t get the job. But both he and airport board members were gracious at Thursday’s board meeting, with Coleman telling McNider that the decision “is not a reflection of your performance.”
“You came into a storm,” Coleman said. “I don’t know if you knew what you were getting into here, but you and (McNider’s paralegal Viveca Munger) … have guided us through some turbulent water, and I want to say that the commission is very appreciative.”
Scott also said she was grateful for McNider’s services during “a tumultuous year … even at the times I challenged you on the bills.”
“It’s been the highest privilege of my career to work for the commission,” McNider responded, adding that he would assist in the transition and continue with some of the litigation he’s currently handling.
The airport paid out $783,361 in legal fees in 2017, according to attorney invoices obtained by the Daily Press under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. Those numbers — far outpacing the previous average of about $47,000 a year — were more than twice the prior eight years combined.
And the steep payments have continued well into 2018, as well.
The bills — paid to McNider and several other law firms — included payments for work on potential litigation against TowneBank and Jones Blechman over the loan guarantee, with the case settling last year in a deal worth $2 million. Other work included FAA issues, a defamation lawsuit by the airport’s former executive director and ongoing litigation with the airport’s former food provider.
The new law firms are promising to limit their bills for airport commission meetings to $375 an hour — even if more than one attorney attends a meeting. “I have that in writing,” Giardino said.

As I told a few days ago, I completely rebuilt this ‘Auto Wagon’ over the last several years. It is a 1917 International Model ‘H’. It is rated as 3/4 ton. It has a 4 cylinder engine capable of producing something near 20 hp. and was cabable of top speed of near the same.
I just took the truck to it’s first show, and you can see the wife and I, riding over to load into the trailer. I also included a pic of the truck as found, and 4 pics of the reconstruction in progress.
The machinery runs well, albeit a bit cranky to get running. Once up to operational temperature, it runs very well. The top speed I’ve had it is about 12 MPH.
One side note…the wood wheels had some deterioation that need to be stopped and corrected. I elected to give the wheels each a 4 month ‘bath’ in a specially constructed tub filled with boilded linseed oil. After the bath, the wheels were allowed to dry for three months, then scraped, sanded and 5 coats of spar varnish.

Steelworkers: Telus Payroll System Is an Incomprehensible Failure

BURNABY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The United Steelworkers union (USW) Local 1944 is expressing concern over the ongoing payroll debacle at Telus, reflecting collective distress and frustration over the company's recent implementation of a new payroll system. USW Local 1944 asserts that Telus has betrayed its workforce by subjecting them to eight weeks of widespread pay chaos, reminiscent of the federal government’s “Phoenix 2.0” debacle.
“The new Telus payroll system is an incomprehensible failure that has led to severe consequences for our members and unionized employees across the country,” said Donna Hokiro, USW Local 1944 president.
“This system is just another example of the company’s reckless pursuit of cost-cutting and now our members are telling us they are being underpaid by thousands, facing uncompensated overtime, and experiencing inaccuracies in deductions. Compounding the crisis, some members are now dealing with overpayments, with Telus seeking rectification by deducting from paycheques in the critical weeks leading up to Christmas,” said Hokiro.
This situation has caused not only widespread discontent but also severe hardship among members who now find themselves auditing their own paycheques for mistakes.
“Telus appears to be oblivious to the true scope of the problem and ignoring concerns from the affected members, who are already grappling with financial challenges. The crisis threatens the very foundation of the worker-employer relationship – fair compensation for work performed,” said Hokiro.
USW Local 1944 emphasizes Telus has knowingly and shamelessly violated the terms laid out in the collective agreement regarding members’ pay.
“Despite extended patience and giving Telus ample time to rectify the issue or revert to the previous system, the company persists in abusing its management rights. Recent cuts and the offshoring of the work of thousands of Canadian workers further indicate Telus is facing a larger problem from which it cannot recover,” said Hokiro.
USW Local 1944 condemns the blatant disregard from Telus for the well-being and financial stability of hard-working employees who form the backbone of the company. USW Local 1944 stands resolute in demanding immediate action, accountability and an end to this payroll nightmare.
The USW represents 225,000 members in nearly every economic sector across Canada and is the largest private-sector union in North America, with 850,000 members in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean.
Each year, thousands of workers choose to join the USW because of our strong track record in creating healthier, safer and more respectful workplaces and negotiating better working conditions and fairer compensation – including good wages, benefits and pensions.

Good morning! It is cooler this morning than it has been this week, and for that I am THANKFUL! We’ve been in the 102-112 range since Friday with high humidity (which is actually unusual for our area), so it has been pretty miserable for me here. I don’t tolerate the heat well at all…..and yesterday I got downright whiney about it! I had to apologize to my D because I just kept whining at him about it….as if there was anything he could do about it 🙂
Today I need to:
*2 loads of laundry
*bake some things using zucchini….I’m thinking a chocolate zucchini cake and some zucchini bread muffins…something healthy, and something decadent 🙂
*healthy meals for family
*finish home blessing
*go shopping for snacks for the Wednesday Night Sports Network program that happens at our church during the summer for the 7th-12th graders in our community. We are buying Push Ups ice cream treats for 250 today.

PATRIOTS, WE HAVE THE CURE! “Cheating has become such a reliable method of deception for Democrats to secure election victories now Democrats are cheating fellow Democrats!” The Democrat Vote Cartel is now targeting fellow Democrats for replacement by highly trained and programmed vote minions, ready, willing, and able to do the bidding of their masters.
Here we go again! As the Democrat Vote Cartel further perfects their high-grade vote-cooking in lower-level elections flaws and snafus emerge! In the wake of the recent election, allegations of vote cheating and fraud are once again making headlines, raising concerns about the integrity of the voting process, and exposing the testing-grounds for new cheating techniques in rural and remote voting districts!
Busted Red Handed
Fraud Ballots! WBTS-TV exposes ongoing incidents in Lawrence, Massachusetts, where multiple voters discovered their ballots had been cast without their knowledge and possible being cast dozens or even hundreds of times! OMG!
You Already Voted! One brave voter, after being told he had already voted, reviewed door camera footage clearly showing an unidentified woman allegedly stealing ballots from his mailbox. Caught Red-Handed, but what was done about it?
Forged Signatures! Voter, Rosalie Gonzalez, reported someone had forged her signature and cast a vote in her name. But what wasn’t disclosed is how many times did the ‘vote-cheater’ case these fraudulent ballots? Not only did the ‘vote-cheater’ steal the votes but also defrauded the voter themselves!
Government To Fix It? Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin assured the public a comprehensive review would be conducted. “We’re going to get all the ballots out of Lawrence, we’re going to get all the mail-in ballots and we’re going to review everything and all the provisional and reconcile the list,” said Galvin. However, it is yet to be reported if this promise actually was kept or was it a bunch of ballyhoo?
Mail-in Ballot Fraud! Voters are criticizing mail-in voting, calling it a “total FRAUD.” Shocking incidents are coming to light and it is now discovered Democrats are cheating fellow Democrats, many times deploying their most secret technique of mail-in ballots cooking.
Ballot Stuffing! Earlier this month, a Connecticut Superior Court Judge overturned the results of a Democratic mayoral primary election in Bridgeport due to video evidence showing a ‘vote-cheater’ stuffing multiple ballots into an absentee ballot collection box, a clear violation of state law but unfortunately Vote-hijacking has become now nationwide and possibly every election!
Widespread! The recent incident in Lawrence is not an isolated case but clearly show a widespread criminal cartel is at work ‘Cooking The Vote’ These vote cartels use paid ‘Vote Mules’ who distribute fraud ballots stuffing them into ballot boxes and delivering them as if they were picked up by legal procedures. Indicators show ballot cooking maybe nationwide with secret print shops, fraud artwork departments and master counterfeiters.
Voting Machine Calamity! Proven voter fraud cases fuel the ongoing debate over the reliability and security of election the system, with a lawsuit in Georgia challenging the use of machines sold to the state by Dominion Voting Systems. U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg recently ruled the case should go to trial, rejecting the state’s position no trial was necessary. The lawsuit, filed by voters advocating for hand-marked paper ballots, underscores the broader concerns about the vulnerability of electronic voting systems.
The Swamp Knew About Massive Voter Fraud And Did Nothing
Look what’s cooking! Democrat Vote Cartel testing high-grade vote-cooking techniques in lower-level elections, deploying testing-grounds for new cheating techniques in rural and remote voting districts! Training minion minded sycophants in the art of fraud ballots, stolen votes, multiple voting, forged signatures, false promises, mail-in ballot fraud, ballot stuffing, cooking the vote, vote mules, voting machine calamities, while little is done to stop them! Ballot cooking maybe nationwide with secret print shops, fraud artwork departments and master counterfeiters all this is bubbling to the surface.
The Democrat Vote Cartel is being exposed and some ‘underground sources’ are reporting vote-hijackers of engaging in high-grade vote-cooking, particularly in unnoticeable lower-level elections. These low influence elections serve as testing grounds for the development and refinement of new cheating techniques, with a focus on rural and remote voting districts. The methods employed include ballot-hijacking, fraud ballots, stolen votes, multiple voting, forged signatures, camouflaged narratives, mail-in ballot fraud, bands of vote mules, voter-box hijacking and ballot stuffing, to name a few!
The expansiveness of those vote manipulations extends to clandestine tactics such as cooking the vote, utilizing nameless, faceless vote-mules, and exploiting voting machine calamities. There are even suspicions of a potential nationwide impact, involving secret print shops, fraud ballot-duplication departments, and master counterfeiters contributing to the alarming practice of ballot cooking and election hijacking.
The Democrat Vote Cartel is throwing their clementine operation into high gear and they test new vote-fraud methods preparing for the 2024 election. The lurking question is there a Vote-Hijacking training grounds? Are there training facilities full of minion minded sycophants being fully programed in the art of vote hijacking? ….what do you think?
Patriot! We have the solution, but if we don’t act fast it could be too little too late.
Here is what we are going to do. First of all we are going to build on something the Republicans are willing to do and have acted on within the past several weeks.
NOTE THIS-> Remember when the Republicans in the House voted to support Israel BUT to use already allocated funds from none other than the holy grail of the new IRS slush fund budget? Yup, they targeted $14.3 billion to help a foreign power. While the cause is right, the method opened the door for further use of those IRS audit slush funds!
Let’s use the same techniques to fund the 2024 Vote Protection Act. This act is being proposed by We the People, here and now and it will do the following things and be funded by the IRS slush fund! Sweet!
Note to Patriots: Upon successful passage and approval by the House of Representatives, and subsequent allocation of funds via the Internal Revenue Service discretionary funds, a compelled enactment process shall be initiated within the respective States. Utilizing the doctrine of stare decisis, an additional regulation shall be introduced, stipulating all elections, be they local, state, or federal in nature, shall be exclusively conducted through in-person voting. Furthermore, stringent absolute identification measures shall be mandated for all participants in said elections.
Are you ready to send this to every Members of the House, Senate and White House? Then it time to suck it up and get to work, unless you are scared, weak and politically lethargic, in that case please practice your boot licking!
We the People are sick and tired of having our vote stolen and our voting system corrupted. Therefore we demand Congress create the legislation and bring it to the floors for a vote!

In economics, a Ponzi scheme is commonly assimilated to a game of musical chairs.
It consists of an investing scam that lures early depositors in by proposing unusually high returns on their deposits. However, no real profit is made, as the interests of these depositors are paid off using later depositors’ funds. At the end of this scheme, the last depositors left in the game, with no money left in the system to reimburse their funds, shoulder the losses: hence the analogy to musical chairs (except that, in this scenario, those who stay lose).
Depositors in Lebanese banks all appear to have won this game of musical chairs. And for some Lebanese, the chairs are apparently on fire.
On January 6th, a taxi driver suffering from kidney disease lit his car and himself on fire on the road leading to the airport. Unfortunately, he’s part of a long line of men who have already committed the unthinkable: a father in Arsal, an unemployed van driver in Sidon, a man from Hermel brandishing his clean criminal record. During protests sparked by the latter’s suicide, a sign read:
“He did not commit suicide, he was killed in cold blood.”
Indeed, the effects of this crisis could have been lessened: Hassan Diab’s government, following its hasty formation in the wake of the 17th of October uprising, devised an economic reform plan, after consulting with the international firm Lazard Freres.
This plan intended to make banks’ shareholders and biggest depositors, being the people who benefited the most from the atrociously high interest rate on their deposits, bear the brunt of the losses: their engrossed funds and banks’ capital would be used to pay the debt. The remains would be divided between the rest of the depositors.
This plan sparked a lot of controversy in the banking sector, seeing as most of it is made up by politicians. It was thus discarded when Hassan Diab, and de facto his government, resigned.
The losses are effectively being endured by all depositors, regardless of their income, through haircuts on their deposits, while big depositors get away with smuggling their money away from the country. The losers of this Ponzi scheme, the ones stranded on the last burning chairs, are these small depositors.
Today, we’re burning through lira bills, but people’s dignity, fatherhood and resilience are succumbing to this fire too. We’re living in a country that has undignified us to the point where suicide is the only escape for some.
Suicide by fire might not be new to the Middle East region, but while it led to violent and significant change following Mohamed Bouazizi’s ultimate sacrifice in 2010, here in Lebanon, it is shockingly not even enough to hold accountable those responsible for it, or at the least subject them to criminal investigation.

Hear the sound of 'Dunas Douradas' not far from Faro, Portugal, including children at play, waves crashing on the sharp, clean sand, and a jet flying overhead.
Dunas Douradas, translating as 'golden dunes' is a classic among Portuguese beaches - wilder in atmosphere than The Algarve waterfront is usually thought to be - served well by free car parking and a collection of bar-restaurants who've colonised the locality, keeping visitors fed and watered.
This beautiful beach is free to use, but feels like exclusive, private property thanks to development between it and the main roads from Faro and Albufeira.
More about local bars and eateries here - map also included.
As well as hosting the "Good Morning Portugal!" Radio Show, I write about this wonderful country - the places, people and the lovely experiences I'm having here.

Shire share price: Company takes leaf out of AstraZeneca’s playbook
iNVEZZ.com, Tuesday, June 24: Shire Plc (LON:SHP) has highlighted the potential of its drug pipeline in an attempt to prove that the £27 billion bid from US drugmaker AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV) substantially undervalues the company. The move mirrors AstraZeneca Plc’s (LON:AZN) successful defence against Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE) which walked away empty-handed last month.
As with the Anglo-Swedish drugmaker, Shire has also disclosed long-term revenue forecasts, promising to double its annual sales to $10 billion (£6 billion) by 2020.
Shire’s share price has added more than one percent in London so far this morning.
**Shire builds defence around pipeline**
In a presentation held for analysts and investors yesterday, Shire’s chief executive Flemming Ornskov said that the biopharma company’s current products would generate sales of at least $7 billion by 2020, with $3 billion more coming from drugs still in the group’s pipeline. In the medium term, Shire is targeting annual product sales of $6.5 billion by 2016.
Ornskov pointed to the company’s best-selling drug Vyvanse, which is now being tested as a treatment for binge eating disorder (BED). The Telegraph quoted Shire’s chief executive as forecasting that the drug could be on the market for BED as early as 2015, potentially bringing in an additional $300 million on top of its regular sales in 2020.
Shire also singled out its dry eye treatment Lifitegrast, which is expected to fetch more than $1 billion in sales by 2020. In addition, the company plans to seek approval for SHP 465, an attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) drug for use in the adult market.
Shire, which is most famous for its ADHD treatments for children and adolescents, last week confirmed that it had rejected AbbVie’s merger offer, noting that it “fundamentally undervalued” the company “and its prospects as a leader in rare diseases and specialty markets”. The North Chicago-based drugmaker had approached Shire with a cash-and-share proposal of £46.26 per share. (Shire share price jumps 14% as US suitor confirms takeover approach)
The takeover proposal bears similarities to Pfizer’s £69 billion bid for AstraZeneca, which was rejected as the directors thought it significantly undervalued the company. AstraZeneca’s chief executive Pascal Soriot built his defence around the drugmaker’s pipeline of promising new treatments, while the company released long-term sales forecasts, noting that it was targeting growth leading to annual revenues of over $45 billion by 2023.
**Chief executive open to sale at right price**
Ornskov, however, has signalled that he is open to a takeover at the right price. Shire’s chief executive told the Financial Times yesterday that he had no philosophical objection to a deal while insisting that AbbVie’s offer substantially undervalued the company.
“This is a premium asset and if someone wants to shorten the life of this company they will have to pay a price that reflects that,” he said.

His stance appears less confrontational than the attitude of AstraZeneca’s Soriot, who argued that a tie-up with Pfizer could disrupt the Anglo-Swedish company’s operations and delay getting life-saving drugs to market.
“Everybody can show up and bid for Shire,” Ornskov told the FT. “It is an open capitalist market. I’m an acquirer myself.”
**Analysts on Shire’s defence**
The Telegraph has quoted Mick Cooper, an analyst at Edison Investment Research, as praising Shire’s defence as “credible and robust”.
“The targets may appear a stretch, but Shire has dominant positions in very attractive niche markets and these should be achievable,” he said.
The FT has reported that some analysts consider the targets over-optimistic and lacking detail.
“There were some areas where the assumptions were aggressive versus our estimates,” Ronny Gal at Bernstein told the newspaper, adding that the forecasts were a “missed opportunity” to win over investors.
**As of 09:44 BST, buy Shire shares at 4352.00p.**
**As of 09:44 BST, sell Shire shares at 4351.00p.**
