Mercedes-Benz has lifted the covers on its new luxury S-Class range - the flagship model for the brand which is traditionally used to launch new technologies that will eventually trickle down through other models.
One of the new model's marquee tricks is Magic Body Control, which uses cameras and radar to read road conditions ahead and adapt suspension to absorb any bumps and keep its executive occupants in the comfort to which they're accustomed.
Kiwi S-Class buyers will have to wait until the end of the year before the first cars arrive in New Zealand, and there will be a handful of other models released in 2014, possibly including a twin-turbo six-cylinder S400, previously not seen in our market.
While pricing and exact specification is yet to be announced, it has been confirmed which models will be available this year, and some possibilities for the new year.
The Q4 launch of S-Class here will see the hero V8-powered S500 in both long and short wheelbase versions, a diesel six-cylinder BluTec 350 in both configurations, and the grunty S63 AMG short wheel base twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8.
Next year's lineup will see the range-topping long wheelbase S600, and the S400, with a 2.1-litre diesel hybrid S300 "90 per cent confirmed", according to Mercedes-Benz sources.
It is speculated the S-Class coupe will be launched at the Detroit motorshow in January, which will include an S65 AMG that is tipped to join the Mercedes-Benz range in Australia, and possibly New Zealand.
An S500 hybrid is planned to be launched at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show - following the accidental release of an interior image showing a hybrid charging screen. The global reveal of the petrol plug-in vehicle does not necessarily mean it will be released in the local market, although it would be a solid demonstration of Mercedes' hybrid chops in a burgeoning automotive segment.
The sedan versions of the S-Class are being launched over the next few days in Toronto, Canada, with demonstrations planned for a number of technologies, including new safety systems and more advanced versions of existing ones - some of which have already been seen on the freshly-launched E-Class.
Among these is a pedestrian and animal recognition system which warns of imminent danger at night, even using a flashing directed light to reveal the potential threat.
There are a total of eight cameras on board to run various systems including pedestrian recognition, night driving assists and 360-degree surround vision.
Lighting has taken a big jump with the new S-Class - it's lit up light a Christmas tree, but doesn't have a single light bulb on board. There are, however, a whopping 500 LEDs onboard, with up to 56 in each headlight, 35 in each taillight and around 300 for the interior.
The illumination technology line-up includes taillights that dim according to exterior light sources so as not to blind cars that are following, and a clever high-beam system that maintains peripheral lighting but protects both cars ahead and oncoming traffic from bearing the brunt of the bright LED light array.
Driven will get behind the wheel of the new S-Class tomorrow, NZ time, and will even get the chance to try out the new pedestrian avoidance system (although it has been made clear by Mercedes-Benz that we will not be testing this on real pedestrians). The car's full line-up of tricks and abilities will be featured in next Saturday's issue.

The NOAA Marine Debris Program is pleased to share the Southern New England Marine Debris Action Plan (Action Plan). This document is the result of a collaborative effort between the NOAA Marine Debris Program and partners across Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts, including federal, state, and nongovernmental organizations, industry, and academia. It represents a partner-led effort to guide marine debris efforts in Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts through 2029.
The coasts and waters of Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts face many of the same marine debris threats as other geographies across the Northeast Region; however, the economies and communities of Southern New England present unique opportunities to understand and address these challenges. From being a popular tourist destination with a rich textile manufacturing history, to changing fishing industries and global research efforts, Southern New England is well positioned to continue working across disciplines to implement marine debris solutions at a local and global scale.
The Action Plan has five goals, with 25 objectives that define how each goal will be achieved. The goals are:
Goal 1: Prevention and Removal
Goal 2: Research and Monitoring
Goal 3: Coordination
Goal 4: Collection and Disposition
Goal 5: Policy and Management
These goals are representative of the community’s marine debris priorities and were developed through a series of virtual workshops and partner feedback throughout 2023. This new Action Plan was built through the collaborative efforts of nearly 30 contributing organizations. Twice each year, partners will gather to review and update implementation progress as needed.
The NOAA Marine Debris Program greatly appreciates this collaborative effort. For more information, please contact Demi Fox (email@example.com).

Since the mid-1990s, traceability has become a popular concept in industrial logistics, regardless of the production regime and type of product. Implementing traceability systems across the food supply chain is seen as crucial for increasing food quality and safety, for optimizing production or for documenting sustainability. However, implementation of traceability systems in the seafood sector seems to be stagnating. Against this backdrop, the main objective of this study is to define and analyse in detail seafood traceability benefits related to regulatory compliance, supply chain management improvements, market access facilitation, and risk mitigation. To support this objective, the study collects and compiles policy incentives from governments and industry associations to encourage the establishment of company seafood traceability. In addition, this study updates information regarding existing traceability standards and norms serving various purposes in the seafood sector. Based on a thorough analysis of speciality literature and the extensive experience of the authors, this study formulates several recommendations that are relevant for a wide range of stakeholders in the seafood sector.

Q: What is really a unsecured loan?
Lending businesses and banking institutions offer unsecured loans to assist people who require advice about funds for reducing into assets, consolidating financial obligation or funding vehicle repairs. It may be utilized for individual requirements like wedding, purchasing a vehicle or spending bills.
For renovation or training purposes, more specialised loan services and products are made to match these needs. As not absolutely all unsecured loan loan providers are identical, you have to assess whatever they provide and just how they vary before you make the proper selection. Be it the terms, rate of interest or charges, these should really be taken into equal consideration.
Q: What will be the various kinds of unsecured loans?
Any loan in Singapore is put on the list of group of term loans since they have a collection period and fixed monthly installment payments. You must repay the money you owe by the end of the loan period if you are borrowing a term loan.
A few banks could have term-loan programmes that may help small enterprises with the bucks they should are powered by. Smaller companies can use the expression loan to acquire fixed assets such as for example gear for the manufacturing procedure.
Nevertheless, some packages are designated as revolving loans for which a debtor may use his credit as much as a set limitation whenever it is needed by him. You are able to just pay the attention as long as the relative line is drawn and when you repay the quantity drawn, the credit becomes easily available become drawn yet again. Rates of interest charged usually are greater than compared to a term loan and also the interest kind could be variable or fixed.
Here are some forms of signature loans it is possible to make an application for:
Short-term Loan – this might be ideal for those small enterprises having some difficulties with cashflow. Continue reading “Re Re Search. Compare. Go! Find the best loan that is personal moments.”

Kade and I walked down her soi (Thai for small street) and walked over the expressway via a walkover (technically a crosswalk)and then grabbed a bus to go to Central Pinklao, a big shopping mall in Bangkok. We had lunch and did a lot of browsing before walking across (actually over) the street to Major Cineplex. Major Cineplex is a mult-purpose entertainment mall for shopping, karaoke, bowling, yoga and movies. Bangkok movie theaters have some cool features: a lounge where you can sip wine or drink coffee while you wait to enter, honeymoon seating for couples and lovers, a machine where you can purchase your tickets electronically, etc. The most unusual feature is the computer at the ticket window where, if you get your tix the old-fashioned way, you pay at the ticket window and select your seats on a computer screen. It's not just walk in and find a seat! Anyway, back to yesterday. We got us an afternoon coffee at Black Canyon, did some more people watching, caught our breath and then headed back home, this time via taxi.

International Motor Vehicle Program
||This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (July 2009)|
The International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) is the oldest and largest international research consortium aimed at understanding the challenges facing the global automotive industry.
IMVP, founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1979, has mapped lean methodologies, established benchmarking standards, and probed the entire automotive value chain. The program's data-driven methods set the standard for industry research.
The International Motor Vehicle Program (IMVP) has had a major impact on the global automobile industry and the economy that surrounds it since it was launched in 1979. More than 50 senior scientists, management experts, social scientists, and engineers have conducted interdisciplinary automotive research at more than 25 universities on six continents.
The program has gone through several phases since its conception in 1980:
- Phase One (1980–1984) focused on identifying trends in the global automotive industry and provided competitive analysis.
- Phase Two (1984–1990) Focused on competition and produced the groundbreaking benchmark studies that resulted in the landmark book "The Machine that Changed the World" .
- Phase Three (1990–1999) focused on the fluctuation of power relations within the global supply chain, the evolution of the lean paradigm of industrial organization, and the challenges of balancing social, economic, and environmental sustainability. A significant and influential result was publication of the book Clockspeed: Winning Industry Control in the Age of Temporary Advantage.
- Phase Four (2000-today) began in September 2000 when IMVP launched Navigating Auto's Next Economy. Some of the main research topics in this Phase thus include Managing the Extended Enterprise, Web-Enabled Automotive, and Visions of a Sustainable Future.

Sydney turned on beautiful conditions this year for our Reef Life Surveys. Sunny weather combined with generally calm conditions and good viz – sometimes 20 m – to make this one of our best survey years. We were fortunate, being local, to be able to make the most of the conditions over several weeks in February / March, completing 45 surveys spanning 19 sites in the Sydney region. Our five amazing RLSers (Josh Moloney, Kris O’Keeffe, Lou De Beuzeville, George Wood and Yanir Seroussi) joined me and our patient boat crew (Denise Lawler, John Velarde and Kathy Giles) to record 141 species of fish and 45 species of invertebrate. Pretty amazing for Australia’s largest city!
Most abundant fish were the Eastern hulafish (Trachinops taeniatus; 17,000+), Mado Sweep (Atypichthys strigatus; 5000+) and Yellowtail Scad (Trachurus novaezelandiae; 1300+), and invertebrates Long-spine / Black urchin (Centrostephanus rogersii; almost 6000), Tent Turban shells (Astralium tentoriiforme; 1600+) and Turban shells (Turbo torquatus; almost 200) totalled across all surveys. No surprises there. Most noticeable was the lack of tropical recruits, which we normally see by this time.
And yet, the water was positively tropical – clear and exceptionally warm. On some days we recorded water temps of 25 C even down at 15 m! More than once we were peeling off layers rather than putting them on – a nice problem to have. I wonder if the big storms in Queensland combined with general warming conditions and strengthening East Australia Current to bring us the “GBR experience” for a few weeks?
We also noticed the great extent of urchin barrens in the region. This may just be that we’re more aware of them, with recent focus on urchin barren expansion elsewhere, so it would be interesting to look at the time series data in the photo quadrats over the decade or so that we’ve been surveying Sydney. Something to do in our spare time. But we won’t have much of that – with data entry, Jervis Bay surveys coming up, and the odd other commitment. Thanks again to everyone involved, for doin’ it for the data!

Petco has expanded its health and wellness program to include birds, reptiles, and small pets. The program is now available to all pet owners for $9.99 per month. Benefits include discounts on supplies, services, and more for all types of pets. Petco is the first national company to offer this type of program at scale.
Press release: Petco
Petco Health and Wellness Company recently announced the expansion of Vital Care, its paid health and wellness membership program, to now include birds, reptiles, fish, and small pets. Previously only available for dogs and cats, Vital Care unlocks the best of Petco through exclusive savings and rewards on nutrition, supplies, services, veterinary care, and more with benefits tailored to each species’ individual needs.
“Extending the quality care and benefits our Vital Care program offers to cover all types of family pets is yet another move that’s good for pets and good for our business,” said Jenny Wolski, Petco’s senior vice president, omnichannel customer experience. “Vital Care has grown significantly – in both popularity and benefits – since we launched it two years ago. Pet parents continue to seek ways to better care for the health of their pets and their budgets, and Vital Care helps them do both.”
In the U.S., there are more than 13 million fish, 9 million birds, 6 million small animals, and 5 million reptile households* that have embraced these pets, and Petco is the first national pet specialty retailer to offer this type of comprehensive wellness plan at scale.
“Expanding Vital Care to birds, reptiles, fish and small animals makes it more affordable for their pet parents to bring home the right products that support the overall health and wellness of their beloved companion animals, which – based on the results in our pilot locations – we expect will bring in more customers more often, and enhance sales for our companion animal business,” said Jonathan Williamson, Petco vice president, animal care education & merchandising.
Pet parents can enroll their bird, reptile, fish, or small animal into Vital Care for $9.99 per month per pet type. Existing Vital Care members with dogs and cats can also add a bird, reptile, fish, or small animal to their plan for an additional $7.99 per month per pet type. Benefits of a Vital Care membership with an annual commitment include:
- Pals Rewards every month ($5 for small pet plans; $15 for dog or cat plans)
- Discount on nutrition (10 percent off dog or cat nutrition; 20 percent off small pet nutrition, including dry, live, fresh or frozen)
- Unlimited routine vet exams at Vetco Total Care locations for dogs and cats
- 20 percent off the small pet, bird, reptile, and fish supplies
- 20 percent off grooming for dogs or 20 percent off litter for cats
- 20 percent off purchases of additional fish, small pets, birds, and reptiles
- $2 membership discount per pet type, per month
“Companion animals deserve the same love and care as dogs and cats, so I couldn’t be more thrilled that Petco will help make a profound, positive impact on these pets and the parents who love them by extending Vital Care offerings to all types of family pets,” said Dr. La’Toya Latney, a board-certified zoo and exotic animal veterinarian and a member of Petco’s Pet Wellness Council. “My passion is providing innovative solutions to beloved companion animals that typically have less representation in the market.

Apple Pecan Crostini
As you might already know, I love any excuse to gather people around my table! Recently, my better half and I hosted some of our dearest friends for Friendsgiving. Last year when we hosted, we prepared all of the food – which is no small feat for twenty people! This year, however, we’ve been swamped, and we decided on hosting at the very last minute. So, we sent out a text to our closest twenty pals and said we’d cover the turkey and a few other dishes. We asked if people wouldn’t mind bringing a dish or drink if it strikes their fancy… and guess what?! We were blown away by the amazing spread!
My friend Sarah brought some adorable Brie, Apple, and Pecan Crostinis, which inspired this post. She popped them in the oven for a few minutes before heading to our house, and they were a huge hit. I love them because they’re easy to assemble, easy to transport (just pop them on a baking sheet and cover with foil), and absolutely delicious.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 plain baguette, cut into ½ inch slices
- 1 jar apple butter
- 8 ounces brie cheese
- 2 granny smith apples
- 3/4 cup candied pecans
- ½ lemon (juice for apples)
*Option: drizzle with grade A maple syrup or honey before serving!
- Preheat the oven to 375-degrees F.
- Spread apple butter on one side of each baguette slice, and place the baguette (dry side down) on a large unprepared baking sheet.
- Slice brie into thin slices and place on top of each crostini.
- Bake for 7 minutes, until cheese is melted. While baking, chop two granny smith apples into very thin half-moon slices.
- When crostinis are out of the oven, top with apple slices and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent browning. Finally, top with candied pecans. Try not to eat them all before your guests arrive… enjoy!

Since the last post highlighted some great authors, I thought I’d fill you in on some more of my current top 50 books. Keep in mind this is just a selection of them, there are plenty more on the list. If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll be happy to fill you in, or better yet, jump on Goodreads and check out my gigantic TBR list! Also keep an eye out on my blog because I’ll post my reviews here too.
#21 – Deadly Motive by D. S. Butler
Deadly Motive is the first in a series by D. S. Butler. The Jack Mackinnon series is an exciting new detective series that the 3 reviews are saying is infused with a science flavour. So far it’s sitting at 4.62 from 5 ratings, most of which being the full 5 stars! If crime is your poison, check out this book, where poison plays a big role in the murder!
#23 – Equipoise (Ennek #3) by Kim Fielding
Oh boy, I’m keen to read this one. I’ve read books 1 and 2 (Stasis and Flux) and loved this sweet M/M romance that is interwoven within a tale of science-fiction/fantasy. Currently flush with 20 ratings and 6 reviews, the book is at an average of 4.04 stars. We’ll bare witness to the closing Act of Ennek and Miner’s tale, in what I’m sure will be quite emotional. I loved the first two stories (both getting 4 star reviews from me!) and I hope to not be too upset when I read the last words of this one.
#25 – Borlosanti by Jonathan Poku
Borlosanti was fresh off the press in February 2012. It’s currently got no reviews or ratings and my TBR shelf is the only one it’s sitting on. Let’s give Jonathan Poku some love people and add this book to your TBR list. I’m not too keen on the cover, but I’m hoping it houses a fantastic fantasy/adventure story based in a world of dreams. From the blurb it seems to be perhaps a YA/fantasy story. Watch this space for a review in the coming weeks.
#26 – To Die a Stranger by Jilly Paddock
5 star ratings abound here, 3 down and more to come I’m sure. Jilly has a knack for writing amazing stories. I have read one of her other stories: No Earthly Shore and rated and reviewed it, 5 stars! I can only hope that the rest of her books are the same fantastic quality. To Die a Stranger is set in the future, the 26th century to be exact and have loads of fun things jammed into its pages. Telepathy, telekinesis, romance and computers mixed together with a bit of romance should create a pretty interesting read!
#31 – Slipstream by Georgina Anne Taylor
Slipstream has been discontinued and republished in Fairy Tales for Freya (which is also on my TBR list). The short story is about a young boy who wants to fly. Slipstream is sporting a 4.50 rating while Fairy Tales for Freya has 3.64 rating from 5 ratings and 6 reviews. If you are a bit partial to a fairy tale, perhaps you should check out Georgina’s books. Here’s another little tidbit: she’s a fellow Aussie too!
#33 – Dream Catcher, Heart Listener by Christine E. Schulze
Another short story, this one is based around Michaela Hania who was born blind. Reviews seem to indicate that it’s a Paranormal romance/YA story, that focuses on Michaela’s dreams where a man shows her colours and shares his world with her. He appears like a hidden angel, but who is he? With a great rating of 4.30 from 2 ratings and 8 reviews, it seems Christine has written a fantastic short story. Care to delve into the world of a blind young woman? Pick up Dream Catcher, Heart Listener today.
#36 – Live Undead by Steve Warren
This one is firmly outside of my normal genres. Steve posted in one of the groups I frequent on Goodreads asking for reviews from people who aren’t squeamish. I’m not squeamish and I love to read something different by an indie author, so onto my TBR list went Live Undead. Steve’s blurb says that the story is inspired by the splatterpunk novels of the late 1980s and early 1990s, but as it contains rather explicit scenes, reader discretion is advised.
#41 – Unnatural Selection (Unnatural Selection #1) by Ann Somerville
The first book in a trilogy, Unnatural Selection introduces us to Nick Guthrie who almost died from a brain tumour and as a side effect now drinks fake blood to survive. The reviews (18 of them) tell us this gay horror/mystery/romance novel is quite original, the average rating of 3.71 seems a bit low given the review comments, but a nice M/M romance sounds just the ticket to me! Ann has also completed books 2 and 3 (Every Move You Make and Next of Kin) already so there will be no wait if you really click with this story! One word of warning, don’t check out the blurbs to books 2 or 3 as they potentially include spoilers if you haven’t read book 1 yet.
#42 – You Can’t Shatter Me by Tahlia Newland
This heart-warming magical realism story offers real solutions for handling bullying that will inspire and empower teens and adults alike. Now doesn’t that sound like a fantastic read? Very important in today’s society with all the bullying on social media sites and in the classrooms and offices. Tahlia currently has 18 reviews and 2 ratings and is sporting a 4.20 star rating. The reviews paint an alluring picture of a well written and almost poetic writing style coating a very valid point. These same reviews pitch this book at both teens and adults, perhaps we should all have a read of this one and pass it along to our friends? For $2.99 on Amazon, why not give it a try?
#44 – Chip Off the Old Block by Natasha Duncan-Drake
Natasha Duncan-Drake has graced my ‘currently-reading’ shelf a few times already this year. I was introduced to her writing with Cat’s Call a fantastic fantasy/paranormal adventure story starring Charlie Waterman, I gave it a 5 star review. I also enjoyed the second book in this series, giving it a 4 star review. Other books by Natasha have recently been read, her novella/short story Soul Reader series drew me in, chewed me up and spit me out. It’s a slightly graphic M/M paranormal (vampire) romance crossed with a bit of action. Chip off the Old Block seems to follow this style as it’s about Owen/Beherit who seems to be the Devil’s son. It’s .99c on Amazon and reviewers seem to agree that it’s funny, interesting but way too short. It’s currently sporting a 3.53 rating (12 ratings/5 reviews). Give some of Natasha’s books a try, you might just like them!
Have you read any of the books by these authors? Do any of them take your fancy? Share the love for indie authors and pick up one or two and add them to your TBR list!

Charges were filed Tuesday against a man accused of heading a crew that pulled off at least nine smash-and-grab burglaries in recent months, targeting a range of stores and in one case leaving stolen cash registers strewn across Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s tony Gold Coast street.
Tacarre Harper, 27, from South Austin, was charged with nine felony counts of burglary, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. He had several outstanding warrants at the time of his arrest.
An internal Chicago police memo says Harper was identified as a member of “an organized group” that carried out nine overnight burglaries between last November and last month.
Harper used “blunt objects to break windows or applied force on the entry” and removed merchandise or cash, according to a police report. The total estimated loss was $175,000, according to the memo.
Feeling out of the loop? We'll catch you up on the Chicago news you need to know. Sign up for the weekly Chicago Catch-Up newsletter here.
Much of that — $150,000 — came from two burglaries at the high-end Burberry store on the Magnificent Mile on Jan. 4 and Jan. 6. The day of the second burglary at Burberry, the crew left cash registers and “burglary proceeds” near Pritzker’s doorstep after earlier hitting two markets in Lake View, the police documents show.
At the time, a police spokesperson said the department was investigating whether burglars at the Lake View stores had dumped the cash registers on Pritzker’s block before targeting Burberry. The crew had previously hit convenience and liquor stores, as well as a Game Stop in North Austin, according to the police report.
Another person described as a “co-offender” was previously arrested and merchandise was recovered and returned to Burberry, according to the memo. That suspect has been charged in other burglaries, but not any at Burberry.
Harper, who was described by a police source as the “ringleader” of the crew, is also suspected in dozens of other burglaries in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, targeting liquor, electronics and clothing stores, the police memo states.
He was taken into custody after Chicago police officers, working with U.S, marshals and the Great Lakes Regional Task Force, identified a Hyundai Genesis while doing surveillance in the 600 block of North Leclaire, the police report states.
When the officers approached him, Harper ran into a home and closed the door, according to the report. He was eventually taken into custody in the basement and had just $5 on him.
Cook County court records show he has an extensive criminal history and at least three pending cases.
An arrest warrant was signed last month when Harper failed to appear for a hearing in a 2021 burglary case out of Chicago, court records show. He also has a pending gun case from later that year, and pending robbery and identity theft charges from 2019.
In addition, the police report notes he was wanted on a warrant out of Lake County in an aggravated fleeing case.
He was most recently given a one-day sentence for a 2019 misdemeanor retail theft charge from Melrose Park, court records show. And in 2016, he was charged with criminal trespass and sentenced to two days in prison.
He also pleaded guilty in 2014 to aggravated battery, getting a two-year prison sentence. A year earlier, he was sentenced to another year in prison and 30 months probation in separate drug cases.
Harper is expected in bond court Tuesday.

March 5, 2019 California Supreme Court Upholds the “California Rule” on Public Employee Pension Benefits – At Least for Now
Yesterday, the California Supreme Court published its opinion in Cal Fire Local 2881 v. California Public Employees’ Retirement System, a case which former Governor Brown’s administration and many public agenices had hoped would be used to re-examine the so-called “California Rule.” The California Rule is a long standing legal doctrine that public employee pension benefits are protected by the California Constitution, and thus cannot be diminished, unless replaced with similar benefits. California courts have upheld the California Rule in multiple cases over the past six decades. Only 12 other states follow the California Rule, and three of those have since modified it.
The Supreme Court sidestepped making a decision about the continued viability of the California Rule by holding that the Legislature’s elimination of the retirement benefit at issue in this case—the ability of public employees to purchase service credit to increase their retirement benefit—was not a benefit protected by the Constitution. The court did not answer the question of whether the California Rule remains viable, effectively leaving it in place.
In late 2012, amid concern about mounting unfunded pension debt in California, Governor Jerry Brown signed a public employee pension reform law (“PEPRA”). PEPRA required public employees hired after January 1, 2013 to pay more to fund their pensions, and capped the amount of pension they could earn in retirement. In addition to these major changes for new workers, PEPRA eliminated some other pension benefits that had been offered to public employees. One of the benefits eliminated was a perk allowing public employees to buy up to five years of service credit that would increase their pensions as if they had worked that time. (This benefit came to be referred to as “air time” because no work was performed to obtain it.) Cal Fire Local 2881 sued to reinstate air time for employees hired before 2013 when PEPRA took effect, arguing that the right to purchase air time was a vested benefit protected by the California Rule.
The Court Issues a Narrow Ruling
The Court held that air time was not a form of deferred compensation protected by the Constitution since no work was actually performed to earn this benefit. As such, the Legislature properly eliminated the ability to purchase air time.
One silver lining for public agencies was the Court’s statement that the opportunity to purchase public employee benefits, other than pensions, is not constitutionally protected. This would include, for example, the opportunity to purchase certain health, life or disability insurance plans.
Other Pension Cases are Pending
Other public employee pension cases are currently pending which may force the California Supreme Court to address the California Rule directly. The Court will hearing oral arguments this year in a case challenging the constitutionality of yet another PEPRA change--whether salary adjustments from cashing out vacation or sick leave should count as pensionable benefits.
What This Means For Public Employers
Unfortunately, the California Supreme Court did not take this opportunity to address the California Rule, so employees and unions will continue to argue that any benefit related to retirement is vested and cannot be reduced. At least the Court found the elimination of air time was not constitutionally protected. It remains to be seen whether the Court will directly address the California Rule in future cases. For now, public agencies must continue to carefully consider the legal ramifications of making changes to any retirement-related benefit for their employees.

BAT's response to WTO plain packaging decision
09 June 2020
Today, the World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body ruled in favour of Australia in the dispute relating to plain packaging for combustible products in the Australian market. This decision marks the end of a dispute that started over eight years ago when five countries challenged the legality of plain packaging.
The decision means plain packaging measures are allowed to stand in Australia, although the WTO recognised several shortcomings in the analysis of the first WTO Panel which examined this dispute. Although BAT is not party to the proceedings, below is our statement on the latest decision:
A BAT spokesperson said: “Naturally, we are disappointed with the ultimate findings of the report. However, it is important to note that decisions from the WTO Panel or Appellate Body do not set a global precedent when it comes to this measure, and will only be binding to the parties involved in this dispute.
“This report is not an endorsement on the effectiveness of plain packaging. In fact, the Appellate Body actually dismissed the Panel’s finding that plain packaging reduced the consumption of tobacco products. Following this ruling, it is clear that Governments considering plain packaging need to take a fresh look at claims that the measure reduces smoking levels.
“We believe a more effective way for governments to address smoking rates is to focus their efforts on providing smokers with a greater choice of potentially reduced risk alternatives, such as vapour products.
“We remain firm in our belief that plain packaging is an ineffective and disproportionate measure that doesn’t reduce smoking levels. Our position that plain packaging is bad policy, continues to be supported by the evidence coming out of Australia that shows the measure has not achieved its objective of reducing smoking rates.”


Residents in the London constituency of Old Bexley and Sidcup will require to the surveys on Thursday, in the very first electoral test for the judgment Conservative celebration following weeks of unfavorable headings over sleaze accusations.
The by-election, set off by the death of Conservative MP James Brokenshire, has actually triggered the arrival of lots of senior Tories who have actually required to the streets to pitch their celebration’s case to citizens.
Prime minister Boris Johnson has this month dealt with extreme criticism after the discoveries that numerous of the federal government’s Tory backbenchers made millions in extra earnings from sidelines, and issues surrounding modifications to social care reforms and cut down to the HS2 rail task.
Although Labour has actually never ever won the constituency given that its development in 1983, Labour prospect Daniel Francis hopes that growing scepticism over the federal government’s nationwide efficiency will suffice to convince staunch Tory citizens to desert the celebration at a regional level.
Brokenshire, who passed away in October after experiencing lung cancer, had actually represented the seat given that 2010 and held popular cabinet positions, consisting of Northern Ireland secretary, under 2 prime ministers.
“James was the most amazing man and MP, he was absolutely adored and it is a huge loss to the community,” stated regional homeowner Paula Dole.
The 52-year-old informed the Financial Times that numerous within the location had substantial commitment towards Brokenshire due to his proactive engagement with citizens. In the 2019 basic election, the late MP got nearly 30,000 votes within the Tory fortress, almost 3 times the number acquired by his Labour opposition.
But that commitment will not always reach the Conservative celebration as an entire, Dole cautioned. “Boris [Johnson] should be nervous,” she stated. “I don’t think the Tories have a such a firm stronghold here any more.”
A YouGov survey from November 22 revealed that 64 percent of Britons surveyed think Johnson is doing severely as prime minister.
“I wish the government would just carry out what they promised voters they would do,” one homeowner who asked to stay confidential informed the FT.
“We are getting an awful lot of Conservative voters who are not happy,” observed Simone Reynolds, the Liberal Democrat prospect for the constituency. “We are also finding a lot of undecideds on the doorsteps.”
Reynolds, who has actually worked within the health sector for more than twenty years and has 2 kids at regional state schools, is eager to serve as a “strong voice for local families” and the most susceptible citizens.
She included: “We do have quite an elderly population in the constituency as well and they are not happy with the government’s taking away of the triple lock . . . I think some of the older Conservative voters are now thinking twice.”
The rural constituency, situated in south-east London, has actually traditionally been represented by the Conservatives, consisting of Sir Edward Heath, who functioned as Tory prime minister in between 1970 and 1974.
“Old Bexley and Sidcup may technically be in London geographically but politically it is a world away,” Sir John Curtice, teacher of politics at Strathclyde university, discussed. “This is an area which voted 63 per cent to leave in the Brexit referendum.”
According to stats from the London Borough of Bexley, which incorporates both Sidcup and Bexley, the location is house to about 250,000 citizens, with under-25s accounting for almost one-third of the population, while the portion of citizens aged over 65 is likewise rising.
The Conservatives have actually advanced Louie French to represent the seat. French, who functioned as deputy leader of Bexley council and works in monetary services in the City, matured in your area in Welling and Sidcup.
In a relocation developed to separate himself from the progressively politically poisonous concern of sleaze and sidelines, French just recently assured that he would step down from his City function if chosen next week.
“As the campaign has gone on we have heard more and more from people on how upset they are with the government around sleaze and MPs taking second jobs,” Labour’s Francis informed the FT. “We are certainly hearing from Conservative voters, some of whom will be staying at home and some of whom will be voting Labour next week.”
For homeowner Audrey Johnson, the occasions of the previous couple of weeks have actually highlighted the distinction in character in between the 2 celebration leaders.
“I am a Labour member and I will be voting Labour,” stated Johnson. “Keir Starmer is excellent and he is truthful and not a liar like Boris,” the 74-year-old stated.
Francis, a previous councillor who matured in Bexley, argued constituents felt “let down” by the Conservative-led council, in addition to by the federal government, mentioning the six-week bin strike throughout the summer season to name a few interruptions.
“While no one knows what the outcome will ultimately be, a Tory hold with a significantly reduced majority wouldn’t be surprising,” stated Anthony Wells, director of YouGov’s political and social viewpoint ballot.
Voter turnout on Thursday is a fantastic issue for both celebrations however especially for the Tories, Wells argued, noting it might be a lower turnout than typical.
“Getting the public enthused about the Conservatives at this point in the election cycle will be tricky,” he stated. “[They] are now approaching the midterm of their leadership and we have returned to politics as usual.”
For some citizens, the unfolding debates over sidelines and the progressively dissentious nature of political discourse has actually triggered them to disengage with the election, regardless of the very best efforts of prospects of all persuasions.
“I don’t pay too much attention to politics in general,” homeowner Amod Mathur stated. “I keep politics at an arm’s length”, included 24-year-old Aston Craddock. “A lot of the things I hear infuriate me.”

Goldman Sachs: Market Expectations for Inflation Decline Too Optimistic
Goldman Sachs strategists have issued a cautionary note, suggesting that market optimism regarding the deceleration of inflation may be unfounded. They express their belief that while inflation is expected to decrease in the future, the markets appear significantly more optimistic about the speed at which it will cool.
Goldman Sachs Forecasts Slower Decline in U.S. Inflation Than Market Predictions
According to a report from Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs strategists, led by Praveen Korapaty, the chief interest rates strategist, have issued a warning stating that inflation in the United States is projected to decline at a slower rate than what the markets currently anticipate.
The strategists at Goldman Sachs explain that investors might be assuming that a sharp economic growth slowdown would result in a more rapid decrease in inflation. Additionally, they suggest that the market’s outlook on energy prices may be more pessimistic compared to what is implied by commodity futures. However, the strategists argue that these factors will have a limited impact on inflation, emphasizing that the markets are overlooking the potential for “delayed-onset inflation” in sectors such as healthcare. In their note, they state:
“While we do expect inflation to continue declining, the markets’ outlook on the pace of cooling is considerably more optimistic than ours.”
Following the report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showing a decrease in inflation from 4.9% to 4% in May—the smallest 12-month increase since March 2021—the Federal Reserve decided to pause interest rate hikes after ten consecutive increases during their Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting last week. However, core inflation remains high at 5.3%.
Although many anticipate the Federal Reserve will soon begin lowering interest rates, Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated during a press conference on Wednesday that significant rate cuts would be appropriate only when inflation experiences a substantial decline, which he believes will take a couple of years.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about inflation decline
Question: What is Goldman Sachs cautioning about regarding inflation decline?
Answer: Goldman Sachs is cautioning that markets appear to be more optimistic than they are about the pace of inflation’s decline. They believe that the rate of inflation’s decrease will be slower than what the markets currently anticipate.

Why as, you has? As you, has vie.
The gist of the above is that when we need to be content, we are contending? So likewise set of fallacious struggles or courageous advents thereby evolve.
Many a riddle or rid ill is encapsulated within the very set of thoughts that initiated it after all (the truth and facts remain embodied within its roots+routes; remember cause < > effect; as we sow, so shall we reap; the law of karma and consequentiality) and initiatives that we keep brooding upon incessantly and engaging with apparently; and then voila, the imaginable or the unimaginable manifests, announcing, c’est la vie, this is it, so think well, do well, be well, God bless.

Property and Prophets: The Evolution of Economic Institutions and Ideologies by E. K. Hunt (2002-12-12)


A Deloitte report says the global defense and aerospace sector recorded a 3.8 percent growth rate in 2015 and generated $674.4 billion in total revenues.
The consulting firm said Thursday revenue in the worldwide defense subsector rose 1.7 percent – or $5.8 billion — from the previous year driven by increases in military expenditures.
Deloitte’s 2016 Global Aerospace and Defense Sector Financial Performance Study is based on the analysis of 2015 sales revenues, operating earnings and other financial performance indicators of 100 defense and aerospace firms worldwide.
The global aerospace subsector reached $325 billion in revenues in 2015, representing a 6.3 percent increase from the previous year.
Original equipment manufacturers posted a 3.3 percent increase in aircraft deliveries and a 3.4 percent growth in aircraft backlogs.
“The current backlog suggests future years of sector industrial stability despite a drop in new commercial aircraft sales orders in 2015 after a three-year surge,” said Tom Captain, Deloitte's vice chairman and U.S. and global aerospace and defense sector leader.
“Growth in travel demand, primarily in China, India and the Middle East, as well as the need for next generation fuel-efficient aircraft continued to drive demand.”
The European aerospace and defense sector has surpassed the U.S. A&D sector in revenue growth due to market competition, defense spending growth and continued rise in the production of commercial aircraft, according to the study.


The City of Auburn, by request of the Auburn Downtown Association, has agreed to reduce parking permit rates by 50 percent, effective Sept. 1.
The cost of the permits was $100 per month at the Auburn Station garage and $40 per month at the lot on 2nd and A Street Southeast. Those prices now are $50 and $20, respectively.
The ADA recently met with city leaders with a request to decrease the rates in anticipation of “the impending loss of critical parking as new construction in the downtown nears” by ADA Treasurer John Rottle.
In January, the city partnered with the ADA to offer a limited number of parking permits to commuters in the Auburn Station garage on portions of the second, third and sixth floors as well as a new temporary gravel lot at 2nd and A Street Southeast, north of Herfy’s Restaurant.
The city also offers permits to downtown business owners, employees and residents. Those rates were also reduced from $20 to $10 per month.
Permits can be purchased on the second floor of City Hall, 25 West Main St., during normal business hours and can be purchased by the month for up to a maximum of six months at a time. Maps are included with the permit purchased.
For more information, contact the City of Auburn Planning, Building & Community department at 253-931-3090.

Had our last evening meal at Champers which came up trumps. Had booked the table the previous day for the 7 of us which they were very accommodating especially with 2 birthdays. Absolutely stunning location on top of the cliff hearing the waves crashing against the cliffs while eating your meal was very different. As we had a couple of birthdays we had personalised menus which was a very nice touch. The service was brilliant with all the staff very polite, friendly and efficient. Once the food had come out, everyone had food envy. All the dishes were beautifully laid out on the plate and tasted divine. The coconut shrimp to start was fantastic, massive shrimp with a very tangy chilli sauce. The atmosphere of Champers was brilliant, very easy to enjoy each other's company. Overall a brilliant and delicious place to eat.

I’ve heard the internet referred to as the greatest tool for the human mind, or as the greatest assault on cognitive development. I take a far more standard approach to the internet; it is no doubt a tool, but I do not hesitate to suggest it can be misleading, with erroneous information and a tendency to bring out the worst of us (largely due to the ability to remain anonymous).
It’s a promiscuous tool, and one I fear may be largely responsible for the distribution of bad information, especially the spread of bad science. Now the term “bad science” is largely misleading, as much of what I am discussing is not science at all; it is fallacious and does not conform to the processes of science. When I refer to “bad science,” I speak of “anti-vaxxers,” global warming “skeptics,” young earth creationists, and even so-called “flat-earthers,” (do not be fooled; they do exist). These positions are ones which directly conflict with known science.
For a hypothesis to be merely considered in science, it must be put through a rigorous process of peer-review, which can take months and involves the input of the brightest minds in the field. Most papers submitted will be rejected. But there is no peer-review process with the internet. Not that there should be; that could be considered a violation of free speech. Blogs or websites which report to write about science need no credentials, and need not be prestigious or even correct; they merely need to be convincing.
The heart of the matter is that 51 percent of Americans deny human-induced climate change, 34 percent deny evolution, and 6.5 percent of citizens claim vaccines connect to autism, according to multiple polls from the Pew Research Center. Despite our current efforts to better teach these topics in school, people would rather believe politicians and online blogs over the wealth of scientific data and peer-reviewed papers.

Malami Slams ‘Stale News,’ Denies Filing Suit Challenging Atiku’s Citizenship
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami,SAN, has denied filing any suit challenging the citizenship of the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Some newspapers (not THE WHISTLER) had reported that the AGF had instituted the suit which sought to disqualify Atiku from contesting any political office in the country on the basis that he hails from Cameroon.
THE WHISTLER had reported that the suit was filed in 2019 by the Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa (EMA) while the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, the People’s Democratic Party, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, were joined in the suit.
Reacting to reports of his alleged institution of the suit, Malami, through his spokesperson, Dr.Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, slammed those he described as stale news mongers for attempting to dent his image using repackaged report.
“The Honorable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has never filed any case before any court in the country challenging the citizenship of the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
“According to the statement, the matter in contention was part of the 2019 pre-election matters instituted by a Civil Society Organization – the Incorporated Trustees of Egalitarian Mission for Africa in suit no: FHC/ABJ/CS/177/2019 in respect of which Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation was made a co-defendant.
“The issue had already been widely reported by the media since April, 2019. It is unfortunate that stale news stories capable of causing confusion are repackaged and presented to the general public as current news.”

Paddy Power encourage UK racing trainers to go for new £125,000 Gold Cup bonus prize
Paddy Power have put up a huge £125,000 incentive for connections of top staying chasers on the National Hunt scene.
The bookmaker hopes UK trainers will be tempted by the enhanced prize pot, for any horse completing the Irish and Cheltenham Gold Cup double.
Neptune Collonges, from Paul Nicholls' stable in Somerset, was the last horse to travel over and win the big race.
Since then Irish-trained horses have dominated, just like they did at last year's Cheltenham Festival.
They took a record 23 races at the flagship meeting, from a possible 28.
The haul included the feature, won by the Henry de Bromhead-trained Minella Indo.
He was fourth when sent off favourite to take the Irish Gold Cup on his way to Cheltenham – and could be a bonus contender next month.
That all depends on whether he has recovered in time from his King George flop over Christmas.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: "We wanted to make things a little more interesting this year, so on top of trying to attract more of the big Irish contenders to the race, we are also laying down the gauntlet to UK trainers to come and have a go at running a horse in Ireland’s principal steeplechase and beating us in our own backyard.
"Let’s not forget that the UK trainers took one hell of a beating last year on their own turf, with Ireland recording a record 23 victories at Cheltenham, so they shouldn’t need any more motivation to come over here and win some pride back.
"But a €150k bonus with the blue riband double is not a bad tempter is it?
"Personally, I’ll be hoping both the cups and the bonus stay this side of the Irish Sea!"
Sizing John landed the famous double in 2017.
But form experts have to go back to 1996 to find the next horse to do it, Imperial Call, who followed record-setter Jodami in 1993.
Only five UK runners have contested the last ten editions of the Irish Gold Cup.
The 2021 victor, Kemboy, is 2-1 favourite to win it again, ahead of Minella Indo at 9-4.
Frodon, already committed to the race by Nicholls, is third best at 9-2, although he is not entered in the Cheltenham Gold Cup this year.

Jewelry maker, picture taker and lover of life.
Inspired by my days at the shore and nature out my front door.
I am a Maker
Photos by Sandi Volpe.
I am a maker, I have always been a maker. I come from a family of makers and I was always making things growing up. I even went to college for fashion merchandising...but I really hated flat pattern, when you make your own pattern like project runway. I knew how to sew as my grandparents were a seamstress and tailor, but I discovered I didn't enjoy sewing because it wasn't my medium. Fast forward to a degree in preschool education, a shift to banking and investment management earning an MBA and shifting again to software development and database management. As luck would have it my last job before taking a break to stay home with my children was at the Library of Congress working on the digital library initiative. What an inspiring time to work on a project capturing the Motion Picture and Recording Sound Division's incredible archive. It was energizing in so many ways, but I knew it was time to re-balance my life. Staying home with my boys was the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever had, but I knew something was missing. I started making simple jewelry for family and friends, I loved what I was doing, so I started taking classes and meeting other jewelry makers and creatives in person and online. I was a creative. I always thought my problem solving skills were great, but in essence they were my creative mind busy at work. As I learned more techniques, I knew that I was meant to be a maker, I come alive making, talking about making and feel blessed that my winding path led me to where I am today with so much more learning going forward. I love enameling which is pictured above, which is melting glass on metal and working with sterling and fine silver. I passionately create soulful art that speaks to you. I hope you love wearing my pieces as much as I do.
