Polestar 1 quick-test: Supercharged, Turbocharged and Electric?
I got to take the brand new limited-edition Polestar 1 for a spin and here's what it's like.
Progress is not a bad thing. You have all seen the hypercar holy trinity. And if there's one thing we've all learned from the guys' experiences with the P1, the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918 then it is that hybrid technology can bring forward some motoring masterpieces.
I had never actually driven a hybrid car let alone a hybrid sportscar before. So it's now my special honour to present to you the one that took my hybrid-virginity: The Polestar 1.
What's so special about this thing?
First of all, it's a limited-edition vehicle. Only 1500 of these will be made at the brand new Polestar production centre in Chengdu, China.
Wait, isn't Polestar a Volvo brand? Well, kind of... Polestar used to be Volvo's in-house performance brand (pumping out S60s in a beautiful "Rebel-Blue" colour) until it was transformed into a joint-venture with the Chinese carmaker Geely. Nowadays, Polestar is all about future tech.
And what better way to make a grand entrance than with a 600 horsepower grand tourer?
When I approached the "1" from a distance, I got two very distinct vibes. The front reminded me of Mercedes' AMG GT with its beautiful open grille design. When you come a little closer, though, the silhouette reveals one of Volvo's new generation design masterpieces: Thor's hammer headlights. I just think they have some of the most beautiful headlights in the industry right now.
Let's dive straight in!
Enough about politics, there's only one big question here: How does this thing drive? I pulled out of the parking lot and I could hear absolutely nothing. The three electric motors with a combined output of over 300 horsepower propelled the car through Munich's city traffic. But city traffic is boring. When I stopped at the traffic lights just before entering the autobahn I selected the only driving mode that speaks to me: POWER!
And that's when the petrol engine kicked in - it's alive! That 2 litre supercharged AND turbocharged engine is where the Polestar 1 gets the other half of its total power output (and a chunk of its soul) from. While two of the electric motors send all their power to the rear wheels, the petrol engine sends 300 horses to the front wheels.
With 600 horsepower at my disposal just entering the autobahn at a segment with no speed limit, I feel like a child on Christmas Eve. So the only reasonable thing to do is to floor it and boy does it go. I hit 250 kph in a matter of seconds but the truly astonishing thing is that it feels like a nice afternoon stroll through the woods. The adjustable Öhlins shock absorbers make the car feel planted like a 500-year-old oak tree.
Despite the car also weighing as much as said tree, it's very easy to decelerate. The energy recuperation system takes some time getting used to, but it is a nice thought to conserve some of the kinetic energy and not turn it all into heat and brake dust.
So is it any good?
Yes, it is a 2.3-ton tech monster. But it's also everything you can possibly want from a 21st-century grand tourer. The Polestar 1 is beautiful to look at, comfortable to spend longer journeys in and delivers its punch in a way that leaves you speechless while at the same time cradling you like a child. It's not a savage sports car, but it certainly hits Polestar's brief: pure, progressive, performance.
Of course, all of this doesn't come cheap. However, 150,000 Euros is by no means big money for a 600 horsepower limited-edition plug-in hybrid design masterpiece with a carbon fibre chassis. In fact, it's quite comparable to what BMW charged for a new i8. Both cars are milestones for their respective brands. And there's already one title that no one can take from the Polestar 1 - being the first.


Turns out trying to use a Nord Lead 3 as a master controller comes with its tradeoffs.
Firstly, there’s a bug Clavia never fixed where if you play live while there’s incoming MIDI, you get bad voice stealing. And I mean hilariously bad. Solution: Local Off. One of the most despised ideas in all of music production by me. So now some of my performances will produce no sound when the NL3 isn’t connected to the setup, hooray.
So the Pyramid had to be set up for Multichannel. It has a feature where you can have all channels except one be echoed back. That channel becomes a master controller channel for the active track. This makes some sense.
I record a finished song into Ableton. So far so good … hmm, we have voice doubling. Aha, I routed it through the MIDI interface so everything is getting sent to the Pyramid through the DIN input. Select the Pyramid instead… sounds good. Oh but the bass is gone.
The bass is on Channel 9, my Multichannel master channel, therefore it’s not being echoed. I have to give up one of my NL3 parts. Come on!! It only has 4 parts!!! So I have to choose between being able to improvise while a song is playing and an entire part? Errggh…
So back to square one? I have an MPK249 that is currently on the storage shelf. Do I want to use it as my master controller? Not particularly. First off I don’t have a ton of space, my 2-tier stand is occupied, the NL3 is on the desk with the Pyramid and a PadKontrol. And secondly I give up live recording of knob tweaks on the NL3. Something admittedly I haven’t tried yet but was planning to.
Well, I’m glad I typed all that out because I realized what to do. The “master control” part on NL3 can’t be sequenced, but it can be performed live. Since my whole spiel is playing keys over techno beats, my workflow will be to set up a sound on that part that I am likely to use in live performance.
Hope you all enjoyed that little ride. I think it’s good to document the crap we go through…

LAST summer I was lucky enough to be invited to join the school children and staff at a Garden Party at Crosland Moor Junior School to help celebrate the success of their school fruit and vegetable garden.
Their Green Thumbs group have recently won a new camera from Morrisons Supermarkets in their Lets Grow Scheme so congratulations to all involved.
They are now growing cabbages that might be shown at the Chelsea Flower Show and they want a few tips on how to get the best cabbages.
Well, I am afraid that for this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show in late May, it is probably a bit late to do very much, unless you have grown some winter or spring cabbages overwinter.
They will certainly need a little protection from Cabbage White Butterfly caterpillars and covering them with fleece is the easiest way to do that.
After our long winter they will also benefit from a high nitrogen boost such as diluted sulphate of ammonia that will green up the leaves and give the plants the energy to fill out a little more.
We all look forward to hearing more about your cabbages.
David Soogumbur from Edgerton has written to me about some fruit trees that he has had for about seven years.
Having watched Jimmy Doherty’s Global Harvest series on BBC 2 recently, he saw a mango farmer in Brazil treating his trees with a chemical to force them to flower more than once a year and he wonders whether there is such a substance to use on his apple and pear trees in this country.
The climate in Brazil is tropical and they can grow these crops throughout the year, giving them a full 12 months to grow two crops rather than the normal one.
Our temperate climate in the Northern Hemispheredoes not allow us a long enough season to get two crops from our fruit trees and so no growth regulating substance would be of any value for our trees.
Our only chances of improving the crop are to carry out late summer and winter pruning correctly to help the plant produce lots of flower buds, to ensure that each tree has a good compatible pollinating partner tree and for us to feed and irrigate the trees to maximise fruit development.
Mrs Chorley from Mirfield wants to start growing orchids and would like to know if there is a good, basic book to help her get underway.
Dr Hessayon to the rescue. Two years ago The Orchid Expert book was published by Expert and, like all the Expert series of books, this one gives you all you need to know in that well recognised simple, easy to follow style. ISBN 978-0-903-50567-3.

The world’s biggest security firm, G4S, today bounced back from two years of Olympic failures and criminal contract scandals, returning to the black with an £85 million first-half profit.
Signing new deals worth £1.2 billion — including contracts to clear landmines in South Sudan and in Iraq — enabled G4S to turn around the re-stated loss of £94 million it sank to in the same first six months of last year. But chief executive Ashley Almanza, who replaced Nick Buckles last year, warned that there was still “much to be done” to overhaul the business.
The cost of Olympic security failures and work to reform the business have weighed on G4S, which had to repay nearly £110 million to the taxpayer in March, after over-charging the state for tagging criminals who were actually dead, imprisoned or did not exist.
The sprawling firm, which employs almost 620,000 staff in 120 countries, is still under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office for over-charging on that contract, although the Government lifted its ban on G4S winning new state contracts in April.
Still, the impact of that temporary blacklisting, the loss of the tagging contract, plus a reputational hit in this country saw G4S’s revenues in the UK decline by 2% to £790 million in the first six months of the year.
The firm, however, pointed out that it had since won a deal from the Department for Work & Pensions to manage community work placements for the long-term unemployed, and said it wants to “grow the business by competing for new government services.”
However, G4S is still hunting for a permanent boss for its UK business, after Eddie Aston quit in May — the third person in that role to leave in only two years.
Almanza said G4S had sold six divisions in the past year and decided to discontinue another 15, largely loss-making, small businesses.
It is also in talks to sell its US Government Solutions business, which runs sensitive contracts such as mine clearance and has just been awarded a $24 million (£14.3 million) contract to run housing and facilities at the US Navy’s Guantanamo Bay base. A spokesman said the unit is up for sale because, as a non-American company, “the US Government prohibits G4S in having any control or influence over the business”.
Shares rose 4.6p to 264.4p today, leaving the stock within touching distance of its highest price since May 2013 when a profit warning led it to dive nearly 15% from 305.5p.Reuse content

DONGYING, China, Aug. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, Kerui Petroleum Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Kerui”) signed a contract with a company from Southeast Asia. In accordance with the provisions of the contract, Kerui will provide a set of large GT-driven (gas turbine driven) screw compressor units to the company, which will be used in its LPG project. With the designed capacity of 1,580.8 kW, this set of units is driven by a natural gas engine. The power of the compressor axis is 1,142.2 kW, and a speed-increasing gearbox is equipped between the compressor and the engine. The overall technology is at the leading level in the world.
In order to ensure smooth delivery of the project and to meet technical requirements of customers, Kerui has established partnership with a global well-known screw compressor manufacturer and signed a strategic partnership agreement with this company, which has a long history and rich experience in the field of screw compressors, to promote the project jointly. This partnership is significant for both parties to complement each other’s advantages and to achieve the goal of win-win.
In the project, by integrating global resources and making continuous innovations in R&D and design, and based on its solid R&D foundation and proven skid technology, Kerui has provided satisfactory system solutions to its customers. Meanwhile, Kerui guarantees the project runs properly through the established partnership, strict quality control and efficient project management.
In this project, the biggest difficulty of technology is how to drive the set of units with a natural gas engine. As far as we know, only a few domestic and foreign companies have used natural gas engines to drive screw compressors. In particular, the technical requirements are very high for large-power screw compressors. After successful delivery of the project, Kerui and its partner’s compressor skid technology will make a qualitative leap and reach the global leading level, so as to help build GT-driven screw compressors both in China and in the world.Continue Reading

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- On Tuesday, county leaders, along with first responders and behavioral health experts, launched a new program named after a CAL Fire captain who died by suicide in 2017.
The Fire Captain Ryan J. Mitchell First Responders Behavioral Health Support Program provides a confidential 24-7 helpline for any local first responder. The helpline is staffed by former and current first responders. The program also connects first responders to local behavioral health resources and substance abuse services.
CAL Fire Captain Ryan Mitchell died by suicide on November 7, 2017, at the Interstate 8 Pine Valley bridge.
“He loved the acts of fighting fires,” said his widow Denelle Mitchell, in an interview with ABC 10News in October 2019.
She also spoke about the difficult days. “What comes with that is a lot of hard work, a lot of hours away from your home and your family and your friends,” she said.
Ryan’s father, William Mitchell, became a fire chaplain after his son’s death. While he’s heartbroken his son is no longer with them, he is proud of the legacy he is leaving behind.
“Heartbreak and pride are strange bedfellows,” William Mitchell said. “It's hard to process that sometimes. We were always and will continue to be very proud of our son.”
Supervisor Nathan Fletcher introduced the policy to create and fund the program in September 2019. He told ABC 10News it cost roughly $600,000 to launch with subsequent costs as the program continues.
Fletcher spoke about the trauma that first responders face on the job. “At a time where it feels like no one will sacrifice for anyone, we have a group of individuals who are willing to sacrifice their own safety. They’re willing to sacrifice their own life in an effort to protect us," he said.
William Mitchell is one of three Advisory Committee members for the new program. He knows the need is there and encourages all first responders to utilize the new helpline.
“The need hit our family like a storm that’s never going to relent,” he said.
According to Blue H.E.L.P., 228 current and former law enforcement officers died by suicide in 2019, which is higher than the previous year. The Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance said 82 firefighters, 24 EMS personnel, and one dispatcher have died by suicide so far this year. Those who track the data said the numbers are drastically underreported.
The program will be administered by Pathways. The free, confidential helpline is 1-833-YU-FIRST (1-833-983-4778). First responders can also visit www.sdfirstrespondresprogram.org.

STE/ICE is a versatile tool for testing and taking measurements of vehicle engines as well as many
other types of electrical and mechanical equipment. In a protective transit case, complete with all
accessories, it is easily transported to a field site for general measurements and diagnostic connector
assembly (DCA) tests.
STE/ICE has three major measurement capabilities:
STE/ICE can be used to make standard voltage, current, resistance, pressure, and speed
measurements without specific vehicle or equipment information.
In making general
measurements, the vehicle test meter (VTM) receives power through power cable W5 or DCA cable
W1. Test data may be received through various test probe cables and transducers.
STE/ICE can be used to test specific vehicles in the Army inventory. When a recognized vehicle
identification (VID) number is entered in the VTM, STE/ICE will automatically use vehicle
information stored in its memory together with test data to give a result. In performing special
tests, the VTM receives power from a battery through power cable W5 or DCA cable W1. Test
data may be received through various test probe cables and transducers.
Diagnostic connector assembly tests
If the vehicle or equipment to be tested has a permanently mounted DCA, the VTM can receive
both power and test data through DCA cable W1. Wires from the DCA connect to test points and
to the vehicle/equipment or power source. Additional transducers can be used at the same time for
test points not connected to the DCA.

Whilst skin tags don’t often seem to be talked about in the same breath as other skin concerns such as acne and eczema, the impact that they can have on the lives of those affected by them can be just as devastating.
Harmless and benign for the most part, skin tags, regardless of where they appear, can have a very real effect on our confidence and happiness, leading many of us to seek solutions for their removal.
Brown or fleshy in colour, skin tags are smooth and small growths that can sit in raised positions on any area of our skin. They derive their prominent appearance from being attached to a stalk that sits beneath the skin and normally emerge in places where there is a high chance of skin-to-skin contact. Thanks to friction, the formation of skin tags on parts of the skin located under the armpits, on the neck, around the groin, under the breasts and on the eyelids is a very real possibility. These skin tags can vary in size, ranging from being barely visible to being closer in size to that of a grape, which is equal to 5cm in diameter.
Skin tags, whilst not normally indicative of an underlying health condition, can also become a source of great discomfort if they are positioned in a place where jewellery or clothing is likely to come into frequent contact with them. This results in significant irritation.
Skin tags can appear on the skin of anyone and at any time, but there are several risk factors associated with their appearance on the body. For example, those who are overweight, pregnant or have diabetes may be more vulnerable to their development and they can also come about as a result of significant hormonal changes. Putting these causes aside, some people are just more genetically predisposed to emergence of skin tags on their bodies.
There are several over-the-counter medications and tools available that purport to help with the removal of skin tags and, appealing though they may be, these methods of self-treatment bring with them the risk of further irritation, scarring and bleeding, so it’s always best advised to seek professional advice if you’re looking into the prospect of having a skin tag removed.
At Harpenden Skin Clinic, we offer several methods of skin tag removal. The first of these, Short-Wave Diathermy, sends a current through the skin tag with the help of a probe. With the skin tag’s blood supply cut off as a result of this, it will drop off the skin. CryoPen treatment also works by restricting the skin tag’s blood supply, freezing the cells within and ensuring that this falls off naturally. The final method of removal, Plasma, vaporises the skin tag, making use of electrical energy to do so.
Due to our patient-centred approach and an unparalleled level of expertise, many patients have made us the clinic of choice for all of their skincare needs. To book your skin tag removal treatment, or find out more about all of the services we provide, get in touch today.< Back To News

RCMP said they have arrested another suspect related to June's shootout in La Ronge, Saskatchewan, about 600 km north of Regina.
Police said they found the wanted man hiding under a blanket in the back seat of a vehicle parked at a business on Highway 2 in La Ronge at approximately 12:45 p.m. Tuesday.
They arrested him and also seized an illegally-modified loaded firearm during a search of the vehicle.
Thirty-six-year-old Allan Sanderson faces two charges related to the June 19 shootout that prompted emergency alerts in La Ronge, Air Ronge and the area covered by the Lac La Ronge Indian Band. He is charged with obstruction and unauthorized possession of a firearm in a vehicle.
Officers have been searching for him since an arrest warrant was issued on June 20.
Three people have been arrested so far. In addition to Sanderson, Terrance Daigneault and Nikeyta Bradfield were also arrested in relation to the incident on June 22.
Daigneault will next appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on July 7 for 11 charges, including two counts of attempted murder. Bradfield will next appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on Aug. 8 on two counts of accessory after the fact to attempted murder with a firearm.
Meanwhile, Sanderson will appear in La Ronge Provincial Court on July 7 on the charges from his arrest warrant.
Police said they are still looking for Celine Charles, 22. She's described as five feet four inches tall with black hair and brown eyes. She has a rose tattoo on her left hand, a heart and flame tattoo on her left arm and "Charles" tattooed on her chest.

"Yes, the poor girl was the victim of a sinister plot for the throne and was queen for exactly nine days from July 10th to July 19th, 1553. She was accused of high treason and held in the tower of London. She was just 16, when she was beheaded on Tower Hill on February 12th, 1554. The queen was buried beneath the altar of the Tower’s Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula, and her ghost can be seen roaming the grounds usually around the anniversary of her death. I can't enter into this quilting cottage Gemma. All who enter without her permission, find themselves in an early grave, same as she did."
The snow stretched on for ages, but it didn’t matter in that moment because there was death on the horizon and death is worse than the blistering cold. If you are ever chilled to the bone, be still of mind, be grateful, because you know that you are still alive…you are able to feel it. This is a blessing...this is from the Wolpertinger Code.
Many years later, as he lay on the deck of his boat, Patrick remembered the day he got him. Rembrandt was a German Shorthaired Pointer and was dappled brown. Exceptionally strong and energetic, he needed lots of exercise.
The Easter season began and Grandmama was selling off our belongings. Our sleepy Iowa town sold corn and gossip by the bushel but didn’t have a lot of room for old jazz musicians like Grandmama was. It was the 1950’s.
Rescuing fireflies took all evening. After finishing my summer reading, I ran through the fields and the long grasses whipped at my legs. I didn’t care about the welts. I got on my four-wheeler and rode back into the remote corners of the woods where there were barely pathways and opened my jars, being sure to cup my hand over the openings. I collected fireflies for hours in larger jars with oxygen holes. The jars were the kind you filled up to water big dogs. My mom boarded animals for a living on our tiny farm, where our happiness used to reside.

A space-time distortion (Japanese: 時空の歪み Space-time distortion) is a feature introduced in Generation VIII that allows the player to catch rare Pokémon that are otherwise unobtainable in the wild. Space-time distortions only appear in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
In the core series games
From the beginning of the game, until after completing Mission 18: "The Counterpart", a massive space-time rift is visible above the peak of Mount Coronet from anywhere across the Hisui region, and is said to be the cause of the smaller distortions that periodically appear around the region.
The existence of smaller space-time distortions is first mentioned by Akari or Rei at the Wallflower after Mission 7: "The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods". The player is reminded again of the distortions by Akari or Rei right before they set out to explore the Crimson Mirelands for the first time. At this point, space-time distortions will become available to spawn. The player is required to venture into the distortions in order to complete the Hisui Pokédex, as tasked by Arceus, due to the fact that several Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex are not native to the Hisui region naturally and can only appear within the distortions.
The space-time rift over Mount Coronet was caused by Giratina, who wanted to draw Arceus out of hiding so it could get revenge for being sealed in the Distortion World, which it did with the help of Volo. The distortions and rift itself are capable of transporting objects, Pokémon, and humans through space and time, as happened to the player.
Space-time distortions begin to form in an area after the player spends a certain amount of time there without resting at a base camp, as any time the player rests or leaves the map (by entering a cave, building, or leaving to Jubilife Village), the timer will reset. The development of a space-time distortion will be broadcasted with the following message: "A space-time distortion seems to be forming!"
If the player is in a menu, pop-up dialogue, or a wild Pokémon battle the timer for space-time distortions to spawn will pause until they return to waiting in the overworld. If the game is saved after a space-time distortion forms, it will not reappear when the game is closed and reopened, and any Pokémon that spawned within the distortion will also vanish. Space-time distortions will not spawn if the weather is intense sun, snowstorm, or thunderstorm.
The spawning of a space-time distortion is unaffected by the player being targeted by aggressive Pokémon, riding on Ride Pokémon, being in the area that the distortion would spawn in at, or active mass outbreaks in the same zone.
The percentages of distortions spawning based on time spent in an area are as follows:
(During Missions 13 - 18)
There is a period of time between a space-time distortion appearing on the map and the actual activation of the event. The waiting period is proportional to the distance between the distortion and the player, essentially giving the player more time to reach the distortion if it manifested further away from them. The timer until the event activates is set at the moment the distortion appears on the map, and uses the players current position at that moment, the timer does not readjust to account for if the player moves after that point. The amount of time between a distortion first appearing, and the event activating, can be approximated as
distance/2 + 60 seconds if the map is treated as a 1024 x 1024 grid. This means if the player is standing at the exact location of a distortion when it first appears, where "distance" is essentially zero, the wait-time for the event to begin is exactly 60 seconds. Once the timer runs out, the transition is marked by the following message: "A space-time distortion appeared!"
When a space-time distortion manifests, all wild Pokémon within the area of effect (except Unown) are despawned, and items that normally cannot be found in the overworld will appear, including shards, evolution items, and various valuable items. Within the bounds of a distortion, groups of up to three wild Pokémon will periodically spawn in front of the player. All Pokémon that spawn will be aggressive toward the player. If these Pokémon are not caught or engaged in battle within 20 seconds, they will despawn at that time, and new Pokémon will subsequently spawn. If a Pokémon is hit with a Poké Ball right before it is set to despawn, the Poké Ball will still attempt to capture it. If a battle with a Pokémon is initiated right as the space-time distortion disappears, the battle will still continue; running from the battle will cause the Pokémon to despawn. All Pokémon and items that spawned in the space-time distortion will disappear once the distortion fades.
There are three designated spots per distortion which contain a single rare Pokémon spawn each. These spawns will only appear when the player gets close, but once they have appeared, they will not despawn until they are captured, defeated, or the distortion ends. The Pokémon that can appear as rare spawns vary depending on the area.
In the spin-off games
In the Travelers from a Distant Past story event, Adaman and Irida end up on modern-day Pasio through a space-time rift. A huge space-time distortion appears during the event and threatens the safety of the people of Pasio with wild Pokémon attacks, but is closed thanks to the powers of Lucas's Dialga, Cyrus's Palkia, and Cynthia's Giratina. Later, Professor Bellis mentions that the space-time rift itself is still open, and more space-time distortions keep appearing on Pasio, though smaller and less dangerous in scale than the earlier one.

Flower Print for & Scrape Art Project
Today let's make our own Monet! Recreate his famous Water Lilies painting with paint and flowers! First you will need to head outside to hunt for flowers—or other outdoor treasures like leaves, pinecones, sticks—and then it's time to paint!
Paper plate (or another surface to put paint on)
Flowers (or other outdoor treasures like leaves and pinecones)
Squeeze blobs of paint onto the paper plate, leaving plenty of room to press the flowers down into the paint. Now it’s time for flower painting fun! You are essentially replacing your paint brush with a fresh flower, so dip the flower into the paint, then press onto your paper. You can experiment with mixing paint colors and using differently shaped flowers as you cover your paper with flower prints.
Don’t worry if petals or other parts of the flowers get stuck in the paint—that just adds fabulous texture! Show your child how to twirl the flower back and forth in a circular motion to create a different type of mark. Younger children may also enjoy brushing the flower across the page just like they would with a paint brush.
Once your masterpiece is complete, set aside to dry
To transform your flower painting into a Monet-inspired work, you only need some blue paint and a ruler. Squeeze a line of blue paint along the far left edge of your painting. (Left-handed children might find it easier to manipulate the ruler if the paint is squeezed on the right edge of the painting).
Use the ruler as a scraper, and drag the blue paint across the paper.
If needed, add additional lines of paint in the middle of your artwork so that you can completely cover the paper with blue paint.
Don't forget to send in your masterpiece to email@example.com to be showcased in our virtual art show!

There are also some lesser known exhibitions that may prove to be unusually interesting such as the American Association for Nude Recreation and Worldwide Sober Adventures.
But personally, I’m looking forward to visiting Catalina Island Chamber of Commerce, Gap Adventures, and HomeExchange.com.

(NEW YORK) — New York lawmakers introduced legislation Friday that would ban the concealed carry of guns in a “sensitive location,” including Times Square and all mass public transportation, according to a draft of the bill.
The bill comes after a Supreme Court ruling overturned a state law that limited who could get concealed carry permits to people who had “proper cause.”
Sensitive places where guns cannot be carried include the subway, trains, buses and ferries, as well as government buildings, houses of worship, schools, libraries, public playgrounds, public parks, zoos, homeless shelters and polling places, according to the legislation.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced lawmakers’ intent to establish “sensitive places” legislation on Wednesday. The legislation was introduced in the state Senate during a special session called by Hochul that began Thursday.
The bill also seeks to ban the carry of guns on all private property by default, unless the owner of the property has signage permitting guns or has otherwise expressed consent to guns being permitted.
The law makes exceptions for law enforcement, peace officers, active duty military personnel and security, who would be allowed to carry guns in sensitive places. Those engaging in lawful hunting are also allowed to carry guns in sensitive locations.
The law would make carrying guns in the banned areas a felony offense.
A state-wide license and record database created and maintained by police will be checked on a monthly basis to determine continued accuracy and whether a person is no longer a valid license holder. The records are to be checked against records for criminal convictions, criminal indictments, mental health, extreme risk protection orders and orders of protections.
Another database would be created and maintained by police for ammunition sales.
Gun and ammunition sellers and dealers will also have to keep a record of all their transactions involving guns and ammunition.
The bill will also add a vehicle requirement to existing safe storage laws, requiring gun owners to lock up their guns in an appropriate safe storage depository out of sight from outside the vehicle and remove ammunition from the gun. Otherwise, gun owners would not be allowed to leave their firearm out of their immediate possession or in a car.
Hochul, in introducing the legislation on Wednesday, said this measure is meant to cut down on gun thefts from cars.
Currently, New York law requires gun owners to get safe storage for their guns, keeping them locked up, if they have children at home aged 16 or younger. The new legislation lifts that age requirement to 18 years old.

Strategic partnership for over 20 years with ABB
Jämtkraft, an innovative, Swedish-based utility company that dates back over 125 years, offers renewable energy services to residential and business customers. The company began its strategic partnership with ABB in 2000s, by purchasing ABB motors and drives. Over the following years, Jämtkraft’s trust in ABB as a partner, proven by performing reliable and proactive on-site support services, workshop repairs, and reactive services resulted in signing a service agreement.
Life-cycle management and modernization services for improving reliability
ABB Motion’s life-cycle planning services help customers in increasing production capacity, lowering energy consumption and maintenance costs, and extending the life of critical equipment to guarantee that business or process goals are accomplished.
Over the years, the ABB Motions Services team delivered tailored-made solutions, that helped Jämtkraft to extend the life cycle of the assets, enhanced their performance and, as the result, contributed to their sustainability goals. The performed modernization services enabled the customer to keep the existing infrastructure and change only the components inside. This helps to avoid premature scrapping, and reduce waste, which resulted in ~10 tons of CO2 emission saved in comparison with the full replacement of the equipment1. For reference, this is an equivalent of a car driving on gasoline for ~57,000 km or ~5 years.
"ABB has been our reliable service partner for many years. The services offered are tailored to our operating requirements. For example, we completed nine retrofits of our existing drives to bring them into the active phase of their life cycle. Since existing cabinets were used for the retrofits, there were no substantial modifications to the current infrastructure. This reduced the overall expenditure for the modernization project, while also allowing us to execute it more sustainably,” said Anders Gjerstad, Automation Engineer from Jämtkraft.
Digital monitoring prevents unexpected downtime
Since 2020, Jämtkraft has benefited from ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring for powertrains on its two variable speed drives as part of the tailored service agreement that enabled better decision-making for smooth operations. The digital solution helps in collecting all the data of the drive performance including operating parameters, and fault events. The technology delivers accurate, real-time information about the drive events to ensure the equipment is available, reliable, and maintainable. This has helped Jämtkraft in staying one step ahead and identify any possible failures before they occur. In case a failure is detected, the ABB service team will remotely access the drives and troubleshoot them.
“ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring, which was recently installed, allows us to monitor and evaluate the performance and operating conditions of our equipment, alerting us to potential problems. This enables us to simply schedule maintenance, avoiding unexpected downtime, unplanned stoppage, and lost output,” added Anders Gjerstad.

THE Likuena duo of Tšepo Seturumane and Motlomelo Mkhwanazi is at it again. The two bad boys failed to report for the national team camp last Friday.
The senior national team was expected to report camp last Friday to start preparing for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Nigeria next month.
According to coach Thabo Senong, all the local based players were expected to report for the camp on at midday on Friday.
All the players and staff reported for camp except for Bantu defender Mkhwanazi and LMPS forward Seturumane did not show up. Lioli striker Morapeli Lesoetsa also failed to show up because he was yet to be released by his employers. He was only released on Monday.
“They were all expected to report for camp on Friday as we were supposed to do Covid-19 tests before starting training,” Senong said.
“I am disappointed by the duo’s absence without any explanation because I was expecting all the local players to be available.”
He said Likuena manager Lehlohonolo Matlosa was already following up on the players.
“The manager is following up but he was failing to reach them. We are running more tests tomorrow (Tuesday) and I hope by then they will be available.
“As a coach, you always want your players to be available when you start your preparations so that they can run smoothly. It is therefore worrying when some are unavailable like this.”
He said they would conduct thorough investigations before deciding their next step regarding the duo.
“We will investigate and give them a chance to explain before the technical team decides what will happen.
“We want all the players to be happy…it is essential to protect the team. If a player is ill-disciplined, then he will be dropped.
“We must also ensure that there is chemistry and players are happy.”
This is not the first time for both players to get into trouble with national team authorities as the same has happened to Mkhwanazi during Moses Maliehe’s tenure as coach (2016 to 2019) while Seturumane fell out with the then coach Seephephe Matete (2014 to 2016).

Water Rates & Charges
Click here for charts showing water service and water usage charges.
The Water Usage Charge is based on how much water is used. The charge is $2.14 per Ccf, or Centum (100) cubic feet, which is equal to 748 gallons. The type of water meter we use measures water in Ccf. Three gallons of water cost one cent.
The Water Service Charge is based on the size of the water meter. Meters sized 5/8" or 3/4" are used in single family homes and duplexes. Commercial and industrial meters range from 1" to 12". See the charts above or below for the charge per meter size.
Residential and smaller commercial customers are billed every three months, or per quarter, of the year. Commercial customers are billed monthly. Water charges appear with other City of Milwaukee service charges on the Municipal Services Bill.
The Milwaukee Water Works provides drinking water service, billing and meter and distribution system maintenance for Milwaukee, Greenfield, Hales Corners, St. Francis, and West Milwaukee. This is considered retail water service.
We provide wholesale water service by selling water to Brown Deer, Butler, Franklin, Greendale, Menomonee Falls, Mequon, New Berlin, Shorewood, Thiensville, Wauwatosa, and West Allis. These communities operate and maintain their own water utilities using Milwaukee water, and they bill their customers. Contact the municipal office in these municipalities for information about water charges.
On the water usage charts, you can see the "steps" of the Declining Block Rate (DBR). This rate applies to large users of water such as commercial and industrial customers. The DBR lowers the Water Usage Charge as the customer uses larger volumes of water. This rate structure is appropriate where there is an abundant, renewable supply of water, Lake Michigan, and all water is returned to the lake. We have more than adequate water treatment and distribution capacity so there is no need to build or expand facilities to meet demand.
The rate structure ensures the stable financial condition of the utility.The biggest factor affecting our finances is the steady decline in water use since the 1970s. Everyone is using less water with high-efficiency appliances and industrial machinery while the utility operational costs of energy, chemicals, pipes and equipment continue to increase. What makes your water utility so unique is that all of its ratepayers own the utility. This city-owned utility does not pay a monetary dividend to shareholders. Money from rates is reinvested in the utility. Water rates, not taxes, pay the costs to run the water works. This includes purifying and pumping the water and keeping plants and pipes -- the infrastructure -- in reliable working condition.
In Wisconsin, water rates are based on the cost of service, not household income levels. Water utilities cannot charge lower rates based on income because The Public Service Commission, with regulates water utilities, considers this a discriminatory practice.

(Clarin’s Christopher Truffa, shows off the latest eye colors)
They also introduced us to the Courtin-Clarins girl’s new “Beauty Flash Blog”, an amazing beauty resource for women around the world!
Back at Chestnut Hill, Clarin’s head makeup artist, Christopher Truffa, explained the body’s lymphatic system and its importance in maintaining youthful looking, healthy skin. He also showed us the proper way to apply skincare products in order to encourage the lymphatic system to better do its job! For example, take some of your Beauty Flash Balm, warm it up on your palms, and then apply by patting it on skin in a lifting, upward motion. You’ll immediately feel, and look, more awake!
Clarin’s believes in using products as a “lighting director” for women. Their “Instant Light Brush On Perfector” uses different colors of light reflectors to to illuminate skin so it camouflages imperfections and looks great in any light environment. Brushing it on the spots where light hits your face, like your brow’s arch, draws the eye to your best spots and away from blemishes.
Next, Christopher showed us the best way to create the elusive, perfect smoky eye for evening. He made it look so effortless! Unfortunately, I don’t think I have a steady enough hand to re-create it on myself but their new 3-Dot Eyeliner is made to be so easy that maybe even I could make a straight line for once!
Finally, they gave us all a giant bag full of Clarin’s best goodies! It’s only been a few days but already my skin is feeling, and looking, so much better!
Thank you to Christopher, Nassima and Ty for the wonderful evening!

The Indian coastal state of Goa is one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations, ever since the iconic “hippie trail” of the mid-20th century. Goa’s beaches are still one of the state’s main attractions — miles and miles of pristine sandy shore and turquoise waves.
Although the “hippie trail” is long over, Goa still has an alternative vibe, with plenty of yoga studios, nighttime parties, and like-minded people from all over the world.
There are also beautiful landmarks, delicious local food, and so much more to keep you busy. To take advantage of the beautiful beaches and party culture, you definitely want to know the best time to visit Goa. Here is a quick guide that can help you plan your visit properly.
Overall Best Time to Visit Goa
The best time to visit Goa is during the dry season (winter for those in more temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere). Between November and March, the state is full of visitors and all the parties are in full swing.
When visiting a tropical destination such as Goa, you want to have the best chances of good weather so you can enjoy the beach. Temperatures in Goa are pleasant all year round, but in the dry season, they are the best for exploring.
The average high temperature is about 32 degrees Celsius, or 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and pleasant breezes from the Arabian Sea make sure that it isn’t too hot.
Although Goa’s temperature doesn’t fluctuate that much from month to month, its precipitation does. Like most tropical destinations, Goa has a wet and a dry season.
Winter is the dry season, which means that if you visit during this time, you’ll have low chances of heavy rainfall ruining your vacation. In fact, January is the sunniest month of the year in Goa, with most days not having any cloud coverage.
November to March are also the best months of the year if you want to experience the best that Goa’s culture and nightlife have to offer.
Many of Goa’s most famous beach clubs, such as Hill Top, are only open between October and April, the dry season. In fact, most of Goa’s nightlife revolves around these beach clubs.
They shut down during the rainy season because there aren’t enough visitors to justify remaining open, and the rainy weather makes it hard to hold parties outdoors. While some clubs are open all year round, the experience just isn’t the same outside of the high season.
Goa knows that the dry season is the most popular time to visit for its young public, which is why most of the state’s most famous events happen during this time. The most common are electronic music festivals, which attract DJs from all around the world to play in Goa between November and March.
Some popular events during this time include:
New Year’s Eve is also a prime party time in Goa, with all the beach clubs operating until late and wild parties taking over the shores. December to January is also the holiday season in Goa.
Goa is home to a big population of Indian Christians, and they celebrate Christmas, New Year, and Three Kings Day. Visit during this time to see Christmas like you’ve never seen it before. January is also home to many popular festivals geared more towards locals, such as the International Kite Festival.
Cheapest Time to Visit Goa
The cheapest time to visit Goa is during the rainy season, from May to October, when many flights are discounted and so are hotels. Prices in a lot of tourist destinations, including Goa, are dictated by tourist demand.
During months when there is less demand, prices tend to fall because business owners hope to attract some visitors with the offer of discounts. Fewer people visit during the rainy season since the weather gets very hot and humid.
There are fewer flights available and resorts and hotels open, but those that are open often have discounts for visitors willing to make the trip.
When visiting Goa during the off-season, last-minute bookings are your friend. If you book too far in advance, and the day you sit down on your laptop to make your hotel reservation falls during high season, you may get charged high season prices for an off-season stay.
Plus, many travel businesses offer last-minute discounts on reservations they haven’t been able to sell earlier.
Least Busy Time to Visit Goa
The rainy season is the least busy time to visit Goa. Between May and September, you’ll find very few tourists around town.
Visitors to Goa are largely driven by the season, since the main thing to do in the state is hang out on the beach and enjoy the beach parties.
Many of these activities are impossible during the rainy season, when the hot, humid weather makes it difficult to even walk outside, and heavy rains shut down outdoor activities. If you still want to spend time on the beach, but want to avoid some of the crowds, then the shoulder season is your friend.
Between March and May, and then October to November, the weather is slightly more pleasant than the full rainy season, but there are not as many people as during the dry season.
Worst Time to Visit Goa
The worst time to visit Goa is during the monsoon season, which lasts from June to mid-September. Like many places in South and Southeast Asia, Goa is hit by heavy tropical storms called monsoons in June, July, August, and September.
These storms dump heavy rain and high winds on the state, often causing flooding and sometimes even death. Monsoon season is not a safe time to visit Goa. Beaches are often closed because the wild waters are not safe to swim in.
The storms shut down vital infrastructure, from roads to electricity. Many businesses close during the monsoon season. Some resorts and hotels even shut down entirely.
The beach clubs are mostly closed since the weather isn’t right for dancing on the beach. Regular businesses, such as stores, shut down for most of the day since the weather is too hot to work. If you do visit during monsoon season, there are still things to do.
Instead of spending all your time at the beach, you can visit the towns and get to know the locals, including their favorite cafes, bars, and clubs that remain open all year round. You can also spend more time inland, going on treks or visiting the famous spice plantations. Just make sure to pack a rain jacket!
