A Vegan Tex-Mex Restaurant Just Opened in Denton, Texas
Pepitas Vegan Taqueria is serving up fajitas, tacos, chimichangas, and more!
After successfully launching vegan options on their menu, the Milpa Kitchen & Cantina team is pursuing a new venture—Pepitas Vegan Taqueria. This vegan Tex-Mex restaurant just opened in Denton, Texas, and we can tell it’s going to be a fan-favorite in no time!
Vegan Mexican Food in Denton, Texas
Vegan Mexican food in Denton is hard to come by. While you can typically find basic options like beans, rice, and veggie fajitas, Tex-Mex dishes with vegan meats and cheeses are rare. When the family behind Milpa Kitchen & Cantina switched to a plant-based diet, they began experimenting with vegan versions of their family recipes to launch a separate vegan menu. The menu was a hit, so the family pursued a spinoff of Milpa dedicated entirely to their vegan Tex-Mex food.
Pepitas Vegan Taqueria
Pepitas Vegan Taqueria opened this week with a huge menu of innovative dishes that are 100% vegan. From tacos, burritos, and nachos to chimichangas, tamales, and flautas, there are many authentic-tasting meals to choose from. Meat alternatives used in the dishes include Beyond Meat ground beef, jackfruit chicken tinga, jackfruit brisket birria, soy al pastor, soy red chile asado, soy chicken, and shrimp. If you’re ordering for a large group, check out their family packs!
You can find Pepitas Vegan Taqueria at 1115 W Hickory Street #113, Denton, TX 76201. The restaurant is currently open every day except Monday. For more information, visit PepitasRestaurant.com or follow @pepitasrestaurant on Instagram.

Since the launch of the land market on July 1 and as of the morning of August 16 in Ukraine, a total of 7,100 transactions of agricultural land purchase for agricultural plots with a total area of 14,830 hectares were held, Poltava and Kharkiv regions are leaders in the number of concluded agreements, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food reported on the website on Friday, August 13.
It is reported that Poltava region is in the lead in terms of the total area of sold land plots with an indicator of 1,740 hectares, followed by Kharkiv (1,710 hectares), Dnipropetrovsk (1,230 hectares), Kirovohrad (1,210 hectares) and Kherson (1,100 hectares) regions.
The Ministry of Agrarian Policy also said that during this period, 5,240 applications for access to the State Land Cadastre for the purpose of online verification of land plots purchase legality were received from notaries. Among them 4,590 applications were agreed, 49 applications are in the queue for consideration, 0,600 applications denied access. In total, there are more than 6,000 notaries in the country.
As reported, the agricultural land market launched in Ukraine as part of the government’s land reform began operating on July 1. At the first stage of the reform, only citizens of the country will be able to buy and sell land plots. One individual will be able to dispose of no more than 100 hectares.
The right to purchase agricultural land on January 1, 2024 will be given to legal entities established in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, while the final beneficiary of one or more legal entities will be able to consolidate through them a total of not more than 10,000 hectares.
The majority (71.7%) of Ukrainians support the holding of a referendum banning the sale of agricultural land, 65.2% would support a ban on the sale of agricultural land, and 84.1% oppose the sale of Ukrainian agricultural land to foreigners, according to the results of a sociological research conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) on June 22-29.
At the same time, 21% of respondents were against holding the corresponding referendum. Some 21.8% of respondents are against the ban on the sale of agricultural land, and 12.1% – the ban on the sale of agricultural land to foreigners.
The majority of respondents – 64% – believe that things in the country are going in the wrong direction. Some 20% of the respondents are optimistic about the direction of the movement of affairs, and another 16% found it difficult or refused to answer the question.
In the course of the study, 2,031 respondents from 107 settlements in all government-controlled regions of Ukraine were interviewed by the method of personal (“face-to-face”) interviews on a three-stage stochastic sample, representative of the population of Ukraine over 18 years old. The statistical error (with a probability of 0.95 and with a design effect of 1.5) does not exceed 3.3% for indicators close to 50%, and 1.5% for indicators close to 5%.
After the transfer to communities of 2 million hectares of land in municipal ownership, 750,000 hectares of state agricultural land will remain in the state geocadastre, Roman Leschenko, the head of the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, has said.
“In Ukraine, 10.4 million hectares of state-owned agricultural land do not exist … 1.7 million hectares of state-owned land were transferred to municipal ownership in 2018-2019, and today, having signed a historical decree, we are transferring more than 2 million hectares of land to communities … According to the state land cadastre, after the transfer of more than 2 million hectares of land in Ukraine, 750,000 hectares of state-owned agricultural land will remain in the state geocadastre,” he said, speaking at the land forum Land for the People in Chernihiv region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed into law a bill amending a number of Ukrainian legislative acts on the conditions for the turnover of farmland, which the Verkhovna Rada passed on March 31, 2020.
“The document provides for the formation of a legislative framework for introducing market-based turnover of farmland. The law signed by the president will empower citizens to exercise their constitutional rights to freely dispose their property and will provide for transparent terms for acquiring ownership of agricultural plots of land by citizens of Ukraine,” the president’s press service said on Tuesday.
The lifting of the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land is a significant impetus to the development of the economy, farming and the agro-industrial complex.
“The lifting of the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land is a significant impetus for the development of the economy, farming, the agricultural complex in Ukraine,” Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Telegram.
As reported, on the night of March 31, the Verkhovna Rada at an extraordinary meeting adopted a law on opening the land market from July 1, 2021 with the restriction of its work in the first three years only to land plots owned by individuals with a maximum ownership of 100 hectares per capita.
The parliamentary committee for agricultural and land policy is finalizing the provisions that foreigners would not be able to buy land until the decision to allow this is made at a national referendum, Deputy Head of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction, MP Yevheniya Kravchuk has said.. “Today, the meeting of our faction was held with one issue on the agenda – the introduction of the land market. Discussions continue. But not about whether it is needed or not, but about the parameters of the functioning of the market. And that means that we have come very close to the optimal solution that will suit Ukraine most of all. Namely, the committee for agricultural and land policy is finalizing the provisions that foreigners will not be able to buy land until a decision on this is made at a national referendum,” Kravchuk wrote on her official page in the Facebook social network on Monday night.
The MP said that this is about the concentration of no more than 10,000-20,000 hectares of land in the hands of one operator.
“As for the concentration of land in the hands of one operator, the threshold will be significantly reduced. Discussion is about 10,000-20,000 hectares, which is 90% less than what was proposed for first reading,” Kravchuk said.
According to Kravchuk, it is necessary to legislatively limit the possibility of speculation with the resale of land.
“We talked about the need to remove speculation with the resale of land in the first years after the market opened. Special safeguards are introduced for this, because people should not earn from selling land, but from products grown on it,” the MP said.

Pat has a theory: his life is a movie produced by God.”
Silver Linings Playbook, written by Matthew Quick, focuses on Pat Peoples, a man who has recently been released from a mental health facility. Upon coming home, he wants to see his wife Nikki again, but for some odd reason no one he knows will talk about her. In hopes of regaining Nikki’s affections, he starts to set his life back in order with the help of his mom and the ‘crazy woman’ in his neighbourhood, Tiffany.
“She looks sad. She looks angry. She looks different from everyone else I know—she cannot put on that happy face others wear when they know they are being watched. She doesn’t put on a face for me, which makes me trust her somehow.”
When I read this book, I couldn’t put it down. The characters are well-developed and realistic, while the main character’s perspective is new and refreshing. The main character, Pat, is an optimist and believes that life is full of silver linings; he’s also childlike in a sense. Tiffany, the ‘crazy lady’, believes that life is tough and is a compulsive liar. Both characters have mental illnesses and a difficult past; however, they even each other out. Since these characters are both considered ‘crazy’ by society, they help balance each other out, and make each other seem saner.
Overall, Silver Linings Playbook is an amazing book for those seeking a fresh view on the world. It will make you laugh and cry. As you travel through the book, you encounter the dynamics of a realistic relationship, emphasizing the flaws of being human through the fresh perspective of Pat Peoples.

Plenty of the commonly known as marijuana doctors affirm that cannabis can aid in minimizing nerve pain. And many people offer insightful testimonies on how this helped them in managing the pain. Still, the need for further research on the connection between cannabis and neuropathy makes many patients skeptical concerning the beneficial effects. Let’s see up next what is neuropathy and how medical marijuana can aid in minimizing nerve pain.
What is neuropathy?
So, to understand the effects of medical marijuana on nerve pain, you should start by discovering what neuropathy is. It refers to the peripheral nerves, which are responsible for distinct functions. Some sensory nerves manage the sensation from temperature, pain, and touch. Other control muscle movement or essential bodily functions.
When those nerves get damaged or injured, they are prone to sending incorrect signals to the pain centers in our brains. As such, peripheral neuropathy can affect one, two, or several nerves. And this leads to chronic nerve pain, which is hard to manage for many patients.
How medical marijuana can aid in minimizing nerve pain
Recently, scientists invested a lot of attention on the connection between cannabis and pain relief. Initial research suggests that patients that do not respond to any nerve pain treatment have a favorable reaction when medical marijuana is used. The common belief is that the peripheral nerves that identify pain sensations have cannabinoid receptors. And, as a result, they react at any form of cannabis consumption. Specialists believe that because THC and CBD can activate the CB1 and CB2 receptors in our body, medical marijuana can regulate the neurotransmitters and central nervous system. As a result, patients suffering from neuropathy experience less pain and can manage their discomfort better.
Back in 2010, research was done on a group of people suffering from severe pain. The results showed that inhaling three times per day 25 mg of 9% tetrahydrocannabinol from a cannabis product can decrease pain, better sleep, and offer an overall state of wellbeing. Furthermore, another study from 2015 discovered that cannabinoids are efficient in reducing pain levels linked with cancer, neuropathy, and several other chronic pain problems. Indeed, there is a need for in-depth research on the link between medical marijuana and neuropathy. But these initial findings are more than promising.
Which cannabis strains can help with nerve pain?
Of course, not all strains can have similar effects. This means that if you aim to decrease your discomfort and nerve pain, you should consume strains that have a powerful, direct impact on nerve receptors. Some of the most beneficial cannabis strains for nerve pain relief include the white widow, the afghan kush, and the jack flash.
The bottom line is that medical marijuana might help to minimize nerve pain. Still, it all depends on how an individual’s body processes pain and how it reacts to cannabinoids. Overall, it is a safer option for dealing with neuropathy, and the initial research done on this topic is more than promising. Treating neuropathic pain can be more manageable with the help of medical marijuana.

On behalf of the Government and me personally, I congratulate You on the Human Rights Day!
Today the world celebrates illustrious and remarkable anniversary - the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that for the first time in the world history has proclaimed that everyone on this planet has personal, civil and political rights that no one has the right to deprive them. The adoption of the Declaration had triggered the emergence of a new world order in which human being, his or her life and health are recognized as the highest social value.
The Constitution of Ukraine, in its part on human rights and citizen, word for word repeats the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I am assured that the observance of human rights and basic needs satisfaction are the ultimate goals of our society. Therefore, the State duty is to monitor compliance with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Any violation of these rights must be punishable by law and eliminated, and in no case, it should be tolerated by the state, by any state institutions or by individuals.
Unfortunately, today we are compelled to note a blatant violation of human rights in the occupied Crimea and in certain regions of Luhansk and Donetsk. The number of Ukrainians who are illegally imprisoned in the occupied territories and thrown in the Russian prisons on grounds of senseless allegations is already in the hundreds. The last shameful example of such practices is the illegal arrest and trial of Ukrainian sailors. Ukraine and the whole democratic world are making all legal and diplomatic efforts to bring all Ukrainians back home.
I express my immense gratitude to all public and human rights activists who due to their efforts are ensuring the observance of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of Ukraine and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I believe that democratic and humanistic choice of Ukraine and of all humanity is final and irreversible!
Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr GROYSMAN

Cadell load limit to be lifted after launch of steel-hull ferry
15 September 2017
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) advises that the ferry load restriction at Cadell will be lifted with the launch of a steel-hull ferry from Wednesday 20 September 2017.
The 25 metre steel hull ferry will replace an 18 metre timber-hull ferry currently operating under a 16 tonne per vehicle load limit.
The introduction of the steel-hull ferry and removal of the load restriction is great news for Cadell and the wider Riverland community.
In order to replace the vessel, the Cadell Ferry will be closed from 9.00am to 4.00pm on Wednesday 20 September 2017. The Department will also use this time to replace the upstream and downstream cables.
During the changeover alternate crossing will be the Waikerie Ferry (upstream) and the Morgan Ferry (downstream).
The State Government has invested $12.8 million to complete the renewal of the River Murray ferry fleet by 2018.
There are 12 River Murray ferry crossings at 11 locations in South Australia and once the Cadell Ferry is launched, Mannum (upstream) will be the last remaining timber-hull ferry with load restrictions.
The load restriction for Mannum (upstream) is scheduled to be removed by the end of the year, a milestone which is sure to be well received by the community.
Ferries form a vital part of our road traffic network along the River Murray, providing a means for freight, commuters, tourists and all road users to cross the river safely and conveniently.
DPTI thanks ferry users for their patience while the changeover takes place

EVEN a lost court case over Scotland’s right to hold a second independence referendum could benefit the Yes cause due to the “awkward” legal arguments the UK Government will be forced to make, one of the architects of the Edinburgh Agreement has said.
Professor Ciaran Martin, the former constitution director at the Cabinet Office, made headlines last month after he told the Edinburgh International Book Festival that he expected the Scottish Government would lose any court case over a right to hold a referendum.
However, speaking to The National, Martin said he had been “quite surprised” to see the focus of those headlines as that had not been the main thrust of his argument.
Instead, Martin suggested that a court case, as well as providing “a lot of entertainment and good political copy”, may well play out to the Yes side’s advantage, even if holding indyref2 were deemed outwith Holyrood’s competence.
“The theatre and substance of a court wrangle may work in their favour,” he explained.
“The UK Government will have to make very awkward arguments, such as that Scotland’s not really a nation with a right to self-determination.
“Something I heard time and again from convinced Unionists in Scotland is that they would vote passionately and campaign passionately to stay in the Union, but if anyone ever told them in all seriousness that Scotland had no right to leave, then that would be a different matter.”
By way of an example, Martin pointed to Northern Ireland and the Unionists’ failed attempt to have the protocol imposed by Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal struck down.
Despite losing the case, “the Unionists won a valuable political victory … by gaining in the judgment the remark that article six of the Act of the Union with Ireland of 1800 had effectively been repealed”.
“When the Unionist politicians went back to their core electorate and said [that], that was a big deal.”
He goes on: “If a UK law officer or Supreme Court judge basically opines that Scotland doesn’t really have the right to leave, that’s just political rhetoric, then I think you can see what the independence movement could do with that politically.
“The real arguments against having a referendum are not that it was ‘once in a generation’, it’s not that it’s polling at 50% or 60% or whatever Alister Jack’s threshold is. Those are not legal arguments but political ones, and the courts will not entertain them.
“‘Once in a generation’ was not a legal commitment, believe me, I prepared the legal documents for the Edinburgh Agreement. It’s just a slogan.
“The legal arguments will be that Scotland does not have the right to leave the United Kingdom if Westminster does not wish it to be so. It may be that that’s quite strong medicine for some Scottish voters.”
Martin, now an adviser for Paladin Capital and professor of government at Oxford University, said he had initially intervened in the constitutional debate as he was “genuinely concerned about the health of politics” ahead of the Holyrood election in May.
“Some of the rhetoric coming out of London [was] saying ‘under no circumstances for decades’ – that can’t be right,” he said.
“We have treated constitutional Scottish nationalism as a legitimate political aim since the 30s, so to say it is unobtainable under any circumstances for decades, which is effectively what they [the Tories] were saying before the election, I thought was wrong. That’s why I intervened.”
Martin also told The National why he had described the Internal Market Act as a “constitutional land grab” in a recent blog post in which he also accused the UK Government of showing “hostility” towards devolution.
Ahead of the passing of the controversial act, the SNP warned that it was a concerted attack on devolution and labelled it a “Westminster power grab”. However, the Tories insisted it was in fact a “power surge” that would see Holyrood gain influence.
Martin said that by introducing a policy of using the “lowest common denominator” when it came to things like food regulation, the act had “neutered” the devolved administrations.
He said: “Under the Internal Market Act, if England says ‘we don’t care about that’, then the regulations of England apply throughout the UK.
“Basically, you in effect neuter the devolved administrations’ ability to regulate things like consumer products, which is quite a big deal.
“That’s quite a big devolved power, [and] there is a power now which means you can effectively override the decisions of Holyrood, Stormont, and the Senedd in regulatory matters.”

The Jeep Cherokee effectively sits in a class of its own. It’s built to rival models like the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan, yet on price it actually competes with cars like the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. As a standalone product the Jeep is fine, but it’s difficult to recommend against such strong challengers.
• Best crossovers to buy
The 2.2-litre diesel engine is an eager performer, especially when fited with the smooth-shifting 9-speed auto, while the clever 4×4 system means you can have genuine off-road ability that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice good fuel economy. Avoid the top-spec models, though, as they’re rather pricey and Limited trim has all the goodies any buyer could possibly need.
The Jeep Cherokee established itself in the 1990s, when the XJ model was first for sale in right-hand-drive form. That version of the Cherokee has gone on to become a cult classic, but the current Cherokee is a far cry from its predecessor. While it used to be a model that delivered rugged appeal with a smattering of luxury further up the range, the current fifth-generation Cherokee is more like a crossover.
However, it’s a pretty expensive one, with prices that place it alongside premium models such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Audi Q3 and Jaguar F-Pace. However, the Jeep can’t match these cars for quality, and it’s more of a rival for top-spec versions of cars like the Mazda CX-5, Ford Edge and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Car group tests
• Best SUVs on the market
One thing that helps the Cherokee to stand out is its looks. With its stylised seven-slot grille, slender headlamps and additional air intakes, the front end of the Cherokee certainly was controversial when it arrived in 2014. However, an update for 2019 has brought in larger headlights similar in style to the Grand Cherokee and tidied up the front end considerably. The rear was also modified, with the number plate relocated from the bumper to the tailgate and new rear lights added, although the end result is a rather generic look from the back.
Under the skin, the Cherokee is based on a platform that can trace its roots to the Alfa Romeo Giulia, a result of the two companies being part of the FCA Group of Fiat and Chrysler brands. You might think that these Italian roots would inject a bit of dynamism to the way the Cherokee drives, but it doesn’t. The Jeep is a relaxing car to drive, but it doesn’t have the dynamic edge that some of its rivals offer.
Power comes from a single 2.2-litre diesel in two power outputs – there’s no more V6 petrol available. The Multijet diesel comes in 148bhp and 192bhp forms, with the latter model coming with Jeep’s smooth shifting nine-speed auto. This model is also four-wheel drive, but features Jeep’s trick rear axle disconnect system that automatically operates in 2WD mode when the 4×4 system isn’t needed. Also included is Selec-Terrain, which sets up the transmission and throttle response to suit different conditions, while Active Drive I and II offer improved off-road ability. If you don’t need 4WD, there is a front-wheel-drive model offered, too.


Viewers are saying new Netflix reality TV show set in Dubai is so bad it’s good
| Last updated
Featured Image Credit: Netflix
If you're looking for a trashy new TV show to watch, Netflix viewers say to look no further than brand new reality series Dubai Bling.
Serving up everything from juicy drama and high-flying careers to spectacular events and magnificent outfits, this series might just be your next binge-watch.
Check out the trailer for yourself and see what I mean:
"Meet the local residents for whom bling is the everyday - and who can fall out over carats as much as diamonds.
"When 1 in 100 residents is a millionaire, they all want to reach the highest level of the ladder...
"In this ensemble cast reality-docusoap, this is where competition rises and problems hit. Drama and tension galore!"
Providing a blend of Real Housewives and Bling Empire, Dubai Bling sounds like the perfect watch for any reality TV fan.
The series includes some of the most elite people in the UAE, like widow Lojain 'LJ' Adada, who inherited an estimated $3.8 million when her late husband died.
At age 25, LJ married 60-year-old Walid Juffali, but the billionaire passed away in 2016.
And there's luxury real estate CEO Zeina Khoury, who also goes by the nickname 'The Queen of Versace' after working on the Versace Palazzo Dubai.
While there are definitely plenty of glamorous moments on the show, from the swankiest cars to the most private parties, the cringe levels really are through the roof.
The first season of the reality series dropped on Netflix just last week and already, people are loving it - or loving how much they hate it, rather.
"Dubai Bling is great trash tv", tweeted one fan after giving the new show a whirl.
"Dubai Bling is the exact kind of rubbish I need to watch today," raved a second.
A third commented: "30 minutes in and I am hooked on Dubai Bling."
"Bling Dubai is so bad but amazing I’m obsessed," added a fourth.
"Bling Dubai is so good I love watching rich people drama," penned a fifth.
So if you're a fan of watching the filthy rich embarrass themselves on TV while you drool over their outfits and private jets, this really does sound like the perfect show - especially while we're waiting for the likes of Selling Sunset to return!
Luck for you, you can catch the first season of Dubai Bling on Netflix now!

Actor Christian Slater has been arrested for allegedly groping a woman on a Manhattan street, police said.
Slater, 35, was accused of touching the woman's buttocks about 1.50am on Tuesday said a police spokesman, Detective John Sweeney.
The woman, who was not identified, flagged down police to report the incident, he said.
Slater was found nearby and the woman identified him as the man who groped her.
Slater, who is appearing on Broadway in The Glass Menagerie, was arrested on a charge of third-degree sexual abuse.
Slater starred in the 1980s classic Heathers, as well as True Romance, and Untamed Heart in the 1990s.
In August 1997, he was arrested after he allegedly bit a man on the stomach and threw a police officer against a wall during a rowdy party in Los Angeles.
The actor later pleaded no contest to the charges and served 90 days in jail.
He filed for divorce from television producer Ryan Haddon earlier this year.
In 2003, Haddon was accused of hitting him with a drinking glass during a fight in their Las Vegas hotel room.
She was jailed briefly, but no charges were filed.

Republican Gov. Rick Scott repeated a familiar politician's mantra when he bashed "overregulation."
In a Nov. 14, 2011, press release, Scott criticized President Barack Obama for accusing America of being "lazy" in attracting investment:
"Obstacles to job creation in America are a result of policy, not of motivation," Scott said. "Our business taxes are among the highest in the world. Our regulations are among the most difficult in the world. If you need evidence, look no further than the companies who have moved their oil rigs from the Gulf coast to foreign countries in the last year because of the regulatory environment. Just last week, yet another major medical device manufacturer announced they were cutting more than 1,000 jobs because of new Obamacare taxes.
"The president's comments indicate a belief that more taxes, more regulation and more government is the solution, yet those are the very things standing in the way of those of us who are trying – very energetically – to recruit businesses and jobs to our states."

The Planning Officer summarised the application as follows:
a. There is a lot to commend the application, officers regret that they are recommending refusal. There has been a lot of effort to negotiate to make this workable, but there has been no attempt to compromise by the developer over the past 18 months.
b. Local people are in support and have a valid view on the application, but so does the planning authority. When a planning officer goes through scheme, they look at quality of design, what would it provide, would it realistically work?
c. In 2012 the site had 16 houses in 8 pairs in precast concrete, which have been demolished and cleared. The site has been vacant for a long period. It is a challenging site due to the steep gradient.
d. 36 dwellings are proposed, with 32 houses and 4 flats. All are classed as affordable. There is a good mix of semi-detached, terrace and flats. Construction is grey brick. All properties have private gardens. There are 48 parking spaces and 23 trees. The properties are supplied with air source heat pumps and solar panels. There is a substantial split level on the site with a large retaining wall. A public realm “heart space” is proposed between two rows of terraces in the centre of the development.
e. There are 19 support statements, including the ward councillors. The Council’s City Design and Landscape teams have objected. The estate has green verges to provide an attractive open and airy environment. The local plan says they should be retained. DM17 policy is not to develop an open space with visual amenity. This application will be building on a verge, which is a major reason for referral to committee. The Development of 5 terraced properties on Goodring Hill would be beyond the existing building lines.
f. Houses in the middle and far end of the site have 90-degree angles causing proximity issues, the change in height also compounds this. There is 4m height difference between houses. The spacing between facing windows is only 11m. Recommendations are 18m spacing, with some leeway for dense inner-city areas, but this cannot be justified in a suburban location. The short distance between properties will impact on residents.
g. The gardens are small as is the proposed ‘heart space’. The terraces in the heart space face each other with a 9m spacing. This is not a high-quality shared space. It includes steps, which present access issues. Public use of the space is likely to be a nuisance to residents in the central terraces.
h. Officers recommend refusal. We accept there are positives and commend the community engagement, but this development falls short of several fundamental planning principles.
Questions for Clarification:
i. The area plan is a statutory document. The dispute is between BCC and the development forum. Community led engagement should be given weight, but committee should also be mindful of the policies and the creation of a quality living environment. We have granted high density developments in the past but not something with this level of overlooking and lack of shared space. It is up to the committee to balance arguments to see if there is enough benefit for the community to outweigh officer concerns. Any policy in the statutory development plan should be given primacy, but officers understand this is a difficult balance.
j. The view of local community is that the verges are not being used positively even if the plan deems them attractive. The plan was also developed with the local community.
k. There is a major oak tree on the development which members would seek to retain as a condition should the application be approved.
l. FH felt conflicted. The people who have spoken in favour of this are very high integrity. The design is not ideal and has some significant drawbacks. There are complaints about council policy being too restrictive.
m. RE intended to support the application. He understood it is a hard balancing act, but there is a significant amount of public benefit from the development and it has support from the local community and ward councillors.
n. CJ agreed that the application was a good example of working with the local community and that the benefit outweighs the harm.
o. FB intended to support the application, acknowledging the large amount of work that officers had put into the case. The heart space could have been bigger and the other verge used for a playground. If residents find the verges to be a nuisance, we should listen to them. The houses themselves are designed well. People in the houses facing the heart space will know what that implies in terms of noise.
p. OM thought the local plan was positive and forward looking. Other more objectionable schemes have been approved at this committee. The design of houses is good, there are some access issues. He agreed the oak tree should be protected.
q. SK intended to support the application based on the local community understanding their own needs.
No Councillor moved to vote to refuse the application as per the officers’ recommendation.
Cllr Richard Eddy proposed, seconded by Cllr Chris Jackson, to approve the application and to delegate conditions to officers. One of these conditions should be the protection of the oak tree.
RESOLVED: (8 For / 0 Against / 0 Abstain) that the application be approved and delegated to officers.

Jenelle Evans may have won the battle but her ex, Nathan Griffith, vows to win the war ... cause he's taking her to court again to regain primary custody of their 5-year-old son, Kaiser.
Nathan hopped on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and laid out his case on why Jenelle's an unfit parent and why Kaiser belongs with him. He's not happy Jenelle regained custody of their 5-year-old son, and to add insult to injury, he says she's being vindictive.
Nathan says Jenelle is trying to ruin his relationship with Kaiser by blocking his number ... meaning he can't communicate with his son by FaceTime or phone.
He says he wants way more than a phone call ... he wants primary custody, because of his special relationship with his kid.
As we reported ... Jenelle regained custody of Kaiser and her and David Eason's 2-year-old daughter, Ensley, after weeks of testimony in their custody trial.


- Governor Dave Umahi has attributed President Muhammadu Buhari's fatherly role model factor to his defection to APC
- The Ebonyi governor described as rubbish the claim that he left PDP to pursue the presidency in 2023
- Umahi showered a flurry of encomium on the president who he referred to as "boss, father and friend" saying he has no regrets joining the ruling train
Dave Umahi, governor of Ebonyi, has finally lifted the lids on why he defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking while featuring on Arise TV on Thursday, November 19, from Abakaliki, Ebonyi state capital, Engineer Umahi described as "absolute rubbish" the claim that "PDP made me what I am."
The governor, who has since become the darling bride of the APC household after his defection, stated that he was convinced to join the APC train due to the "father" in President Muhammadu Buhari.
It would be recalled that Umahi's defection to the APC on Tuesday, November 17, was officially recognised by the ruling party household.
The governor parted ways with the opposition block in what has left a huge vacuum in the PDP considering the fact that he was a leading light for the party.
Umahi, who is the chairman of the Southeast Governors' Forum (SGF), has since been attacked by top members of his former party including Nyesom Wike who said he defected to pursue a presidential ambition.
But clearing the air on his defection, the governor rubbished the claim that the PDP made him what he is, saying he has contributed immensely to the opposition party including raising the idea of bringing Godwin Obaseki into the fold during his turbulent moments at APC.
"It is the people that made a party. I have contributed to making PDP not the other way round. I have been a peacemaker and negotiator.
"PDP wants me to be castigating Mr president. But I have no any other boss other than Mr president. He (Buhari) remains my boss, my father, my friend, and I have no regret about that.
"He has always been fair to those who criticise him, that is why he is a father, So, I am happy doing what I am doing."
Meanwhile, the ruling party is reportedly planning a massive raid on the PDP in an attempt to lure some of its bigwigs in the southeast following Umahi's defection.
According to a credible source, the APC leadership under the caretaker chairmanship of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state has directed the party's members from the southeast to reach out to more governors and National Assembly members in the region.
And top men being targetted are Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu and Willy Obiano of Anambra state.

Toothbrushes are handy tools that help you keep your smile in tip-top shape. However, they are a little trickier than you might think. There are many things you might not know about toothbrushes, which could pose a problem on your oral health. So, to help you know a little more, Dr. James Gunelson and our dental team in Stanley, Wisconsin, are happy to share some toothbrush facts with you.
Our first fact is that it’s best to use a toothbrush that has soft bristles when you clean your teeth. This is preferred because the soft bristles can clean the surfaces of the teeth and also care for the gums.
Our second fact is that electric and manual toothbrushes can both effectively clean your smile. When you’re not sure which brush to choose, feel free to pick the brush you want most. However, sometimes the electric toothbrush motivates many people to brush, so if you’ll be motivated to brush with an electric brush, please choose it.
Our third fact is that it’s important to replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when the toothbrush bristles wear down. At this time, the brush is no longer effective at removing the harmful particles from your teeth. It’s also significant to replace your toothbrush after you have been sick.
Do you have questions about toothbrushes or maybe even about the toothbrush you’re using? If so, feel free to call Stanley Hometown Dentistry LLC now at 715-644-3601! Our dental team will be excited to hear from you and help you find the answers you’re looking for.


Never settling for second best, constantly giving your all and always ahead of the game: the Cayenne Turbo GT is defined by motorsport performance. Always prepared, with a burning desire to deploy its maximum power and enthusiastically accelerate into the next bend. Just like a true athlete – and as you would expect from a Porsche.
Tuned for absolute athleticism: chassis systems optimally distribute spring forces, such as adaptive air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and the active anti-roll system Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC). The result: minimal body movement and improved dynamics.
When it comes to ultimate performance, the Cayenne Turbo GT reaches a whole new level. Thanks to the maximum configuration status of the twin-turbo V8 engine at its core, it uncompromisingly transfers forward thrust to the road via 22-inch wheels. Together with specifically tuned suspension systems, it helps the Cayenne Turbo GT to achieve maximum longitudinal and lateral acceleration values.
To achieve an outstanding level of performance, you need excellent foundations. The sport tires optimize the driving dynamics in terms of handling and braking distance and will reduce your lap times.
In conjunction with the wider wheels on the front axle, this channels the power confidently and precisely. The increased camber also counteracts any understeering.
For markedly improved athleticism, millimeters are just as important as fractions of a second. The 8-speed Tiptronic S including shift-by-wire enables rapid gear changes and an accurate response. In Sport and Sport Plus modes, response times are also reduced in the new Cayenne Turbo GT.
Certainly eye-catching: seat belts in Neodyme. This combination of functionality and style adopts and consistently continues the car's unique color concept.
The perforated seat centers in Alcantara® with Neodyme accents are a highlight of the front Sport Seats. Integrated headrests and memory package enhance their comfort.
Intense driving pleasure can be measured - using the central analog tachometer with yellow hands and model designation
Porsche InnoDrive¹ recognises speed limits and road gradients along your route before you reach them. And adapts the gear change strategy and speed.
The freely configurable, full-color head-up display projects all information pertaining to the journey directly into the driver's field of vision.
In addition to dynamic range control, Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) also includes dynamic cornering lights and an intersection light based on navigation data. The LED matrix beam specifically deactivates segments of the permanent main-beam cone so that other vehicles are no longer dazzled, reflective traffic signs are faded out and the driver is less distracted.

Tri-Jurisdictional Collaborative census volunteers count the homeless | News
ATLANTA -- Volunteers spread out across Fulton, Dekalb and Atlanta early Tuesday morning January 29, 2013, to conduct a Census Count of the number of unsheltered homeless citizens as well as those in shelters. The count conducted by the Tri-Jurisdictional Collaborative, which includes Fulton, Dekalb and Atlanta began Monday, January 28, 2013, with volunteer registration and training at 11:30 p.m. The actual count was conducted from 1:00 a.m. until 4:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) will use the totals from the count to determine the official number of homeless citizens in Fulton, Atlanta and Dekalb and to determine future funding allocations. A grant of over $10 million is awarded annually by HUD to the Tri-J each year. U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Assistant Secretary Jose Riojas and staff members also participated in the count.
The Tri-J Homeless census focuses on counting the unsheltered homeless who are sleeping in outdoor locations such as sidewalks, parks, encampments and under bridges. The unsheltered count by the Tri-J is considered by HUD as a national best practice. Additionally, the sheltered homeless who are staying in emergency shelters and transitional housing programs are included in the count. In 2011, 2,378 unsheltered homeless persons were counted along with 4,460 in shelters, which totaled 6,838 persons.
The count also looks at the demographic characteristics, homeless history and homeless experiences, which are reasons why the Tri-J conducts a Homeless Survey of approximately 700 homeless persons in the Tri-J area.
For more information, contact the Fulton County Housing and Human Services Department Office of Housing and Community Development at 404-613-7944.

Amazon used Prime Day to push a broader array of its private-label products — beyond just its traditional strength with lower-priced tech products.
For years, Amazon has built its early reputation on its suite of electronics, flooding the market with its own tech products, from the Kindle to Alexa to Ring and much more. Amazon now has over 100 private label brands, compared to just 30 brands in 2017, and many of the newest additions are in new categories like pet or fashion, rather than just tech — suggesting that Amazon is increasingly prioritize its non-tech offerings. That shift was particularly evident on this year’s Prime Day, as Amazon’s other private label lines like pet brand Wag or Presto kitchen products started to become more prominent in promotions.
“Historically it’s always been an event where Amazon showcases its electronics and products,” Mike Black, CMO of Profitero, said of Prime Day. In 2019, for instance, Marketplace Pulse found that while seven out of the 48 top deals that Amazon promoted most heavily were Amazon-branded products, almost all of those (five) were Amazon-branded electronics products.
But this year, on the main Prime Deals dashboard that the company heavily promoted across its site, Amazon made a point to separate its electronics categories from its other in-house brands, distinguishing between “Amazon Brands” and “Amazon Devices.” Outside of the dashboard, in each product category page, like fashion, Amazon also surfaced an “Our Brands” or “Amazon Brands” tab. As a result, Amazon private-label products saw big increases in their sales ranking in two key expansion categories for the company, namely the home & kitchen and pet categories. That underscores the extent to which Amazon is pushing specifically its non-electronics products — which, unlike electronics, might inspire more frequent repeat purchases — into consumers’ lives.
This year during Prime Day, “there seemed to be a little bit more of a concerted effort to promote non-electronics brands,” said Black. Amazon ran ads for — and offered 40% discounts on — pet products in its Wag brand, for instance. “It’s them saying in the market, hey, you know us for our devices, but that’s not just what we’re about.”
Amazon’s own brands might have caught on, in part, because they have had an outsized influence this year. Before Prime Day, many sellers reported that they would not be offering discounts — or those that were, offered fewer products than expected — thanks to sudden inventory limits that kept third-party sellers unable to warehouse as many products as they expected.
The end result is that, across several categories, Amazon’s own brands saw large increases in their sales rank on Prime Day. According to Profitero, during the two-day event:
- In the electronics category, nine of the 25 products that gained the most in their sales ranking were Amazon-branded electronics.
- In the home and kitchen category, five of the 25 biggest gainers were from AmazonBasics.
- In the pet category, specifically during the first 24 hours of Prime Day, three of the top five gainers belonged to Amazon’s Wag brand.
Additionally, according to Numerator, 36% of buyers reported purchasing an Amazon-branded household item, compared to 47% who bought from other brands and 17% who weren’t sure. Still, despite the focus on its newer categories, Amazon’s electronics brands remained top sellers. A report from Numerator found that three of the top five most-purchased items on Amazon during Prime Day were Amazon electronics: the Fire TV Stick, the Echo Dot 4th Generation and the Fire HD Tablet.
Amazon’s focus on non-electronics categories this week showcases the rising importance of its private-label brands in non-tech categories. Black pointed to pet food as one specific example — while he said that few people think of Amazon as a pet brand, the company’s Wag brand is rapidly gaining market share among pet food. For Amazon, “electronics can be very transactional,” but categories like baby or pets “can drive more long-term loyalty,” said Black. “If they can get you buying your dog food and pet food, there’s a lot of loyalty to that.”
While Prime Day is only a 48-hour event, it can signal where Amazon is hoping to take both its third-party marketplace and its own products. “When you look at Prime Day, it’s not just another deal event. For Amazon, it’s the major expression of their entire brand,” said Black. And if this year’s event is any indication, Amazon is pushing to make its brands into household names — to get people to buy Amazon products not just when they need a smart speaker or doorbell, but also for a larger share of their everyday needs.
Amazon Live gets a primetime slot, again
Anyone browsing the main Prime Day deals page may have noticed that, throughout the 48-hour sales event, Amazon promoted livestreams starring a cast of celebrities and influencers trying to sell discounted products. At one point, Katy Perry showed up to pitch her flip flops. “In true Amazon fashion, they’ve vertically integrated the product and content discovery experiences,” Luigi Ferguson, a digital marketing analyst who works at McAfee, told me.
Viewer counts for the promoted livestreams hovered anywhere from 30k to 70k when I checked, far above the average for Amazon Live. (The average is usually in the low hundreds of concurrent viewers for the top streams.) That extra focus on livestreaming isn’t new. As Amazon watchers pointed out, Amazon has done this for several years in the past, and it hasn’t exactly jumpstarted interest in Amazon Live before. Plus, those high viewer counts might also benefit from the fact that Amazon auto-played each livestream.
But there is some evidence that the influencer-led livestreams that got prominent placement on Amazon were able to drive sales. A Sunday Riley face oil brand jumped from #7,721 to #60 in rank in the Beauty category after its livestream, while a Nespresso espresso maker leapt from #89,692 to #21 in Home & Kitchen. It’s also worth noting, however that these brands ran other promotions, in addition to featuring their products on Amazon Live.
Amazon news to know:
- The FTC is expected to review Amazon’s acquisition of MGM — that comes just a week after the Senate confirmed Lina Khan, an Amazon critic, as the new FTC chair, potentially marking the beginning of a tougher approach to Amazon.
- Amazon is considering taking a 20% stake in the autonomous trucking company Plus, the latest example of Amazon looking to invest more heavily in transportation. (It bought autonomous car maker Zoox last year.)
- After the failed warehouse unionization vote in Alabama, the Teamsters are voting on whether to launch a national blitz to unionize Amazon workers.
What we covered:
- Amazon has long dominated the world of affiliate commissions — click any affiliate link, and there’s a good chance it directs you to a product on Amazon. But Instagram and Shopify are mounting challenges to Amazon’s affiliate dominance.
- When customers order groceries for delivery or pickup from Whole Foods, a network of Amazon contractors are tasked with finding and bagging those items in a highly time-sensitive environment. One worker spoke to me about what it’s like.
- OpenStore is the latest holding company to pitch itself as a Thrasio for DTC brands, focusing on acquiring brands with robust Shopify store presences.

Pronounced centennial-scale Atlantic Ocean climate variability correlated with Western Hemisphere hydroclimate
Surface-ocean circulation in the northern Atlantic Ocean influences Northern Hemisphere climate. Century-scale circulation variability in the Atlantic Ocean, however, is poorly constrained due to insufficiently-resolved paleoceanographic records. Here we present a replicated reconstruction of sea-surface temperature and salinity from a site sensitive to North Atlantic circulation in the Gulf of Mexico which reveals pronounced centennial-scale variability over the late Holocene. We find significant correlations on these timescales between salinity changes in the Atlantic, a diagnostic parameter of circulation, and widespread precipitation anomalies using three approaches: multiproxy synthesis, observational datasets, and a transient simulation. Our results demonstrate links between centennial changes in northern Atlantic surface-circulation and hydroclimate changes in the adjacent continents over the late Holocene. Notably, our findings reveal that weakened surface-circulation in the Atlantic Ocean was concomitant with well-documented rainfall anomalies in the Western Hemisphere during the Little Ice Age.

Written by Dr. Tom Hart, Penguinologist, Oxford University, UK.
Tom runs the Penguin Lifelines project at Oxford University and the Zoological Society of London, through which he monitors Antarctic wildlife using camera trapping, volunteer photos and population genetics. Tom's PhD at Imperial College and the British Antarctic Survey investigated penguin foraging behavior around South Georgia.
He loves the world's cold places and is passionate about protecting them. Tom loves all penguins, but particularly macaroni penguins, as they have the most attitude.
The South Sandwich Islands are a string of volcanic islands that form the Eastern edge of the Scotia Arc, a series of islands from the tip of South America through the Falklands, South Georgia, South Sandwich, the South Orkneys and the Antarctic Peninsula. Broadly, these are islands formed around the edge of the Scotia tectonic plate.
They form a nice gradient from the sub-Antarctic Zavodovski, to the more Antarctic South Thule, which is almost poking into the Weddell Sea and are placed in the way of the krill transport chain coming up from the Antarctic Peninsula. With incredibly rich waters around them, the islands teem with life; Zavodovski Island holds around 1.2 million breeding pairs of chinstrap penguins [read 2.4 million penguins!], and all of the islands have large colonies on them.
Picture an island volcano rising from the sea – a lava cone with steep cliffs where the lava has reached the sea. Occasionally, here and there a small beach presents a possible landing. On the slopes, you gradually become aware of the many thousands of penguins, the sound and the smell coming in faint waves.
They lie in the perfect region for high krill productivity, so between South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, large numbers of whales can be seen. This was probably one of the refuges for whales in the whaling era – the South Sandwich Islands were one of the last regions to be reached by the factory ships, and by then whaling was largely uneconomic. The region is now the largest marine-protected area on earth, and we'll be there at the perfect time of year to see whales and seabirds foraging offshore.
“Today a great number of large whales (chiefly blue whales and only a single knoll whale) were seen. At last it became fine weather and the blasts of large whales were seen everywhere.”
-Carl Anton Larson, 1908
“We always found ice conditions most severe around the vicinity of the South Sandwich Islands. Huge packs of heavy blue ice lay fast between the islands. Soon they would break up after the winter's freeze, drift away with the prevailing wind and current, and finally erode or melt. We used to try to pass to the Southward of this group and proceed along the ice-edge in a south-westerly direction. Weather and whaling conditions were usually good in this area at this time of year, and whales plentiful – but we never knew how long this would last. They could be in abundance one day and gone the next.”
-McLaughlin, W. R . D. (1962) Call to the South: A Story of British Whaling in Antarctica. George G. Harrap & Co, London. Pp 92-93.
So, the keener people can expect to see lots of wildlife en route to the islands as well as on the islands themselves. All-in-all, the South Sandwich Islands are a wild paradise; the wildest, richest place you can ever visit while remaining on this planet.
