I propose to take Questions Nos. 224 and 240 together.
Based on the existing drawdown on its Vote, the Health Service Executive is forecasting a shortfall in Vote terms of €450-€500m, with the Executive indicating that hospital activity, expenditure in the Primary Care Reimbursement Service and higher than planned superannuation costs being the significant factors.
Given the extent of the projected overrun, further cost containment measures will have to be introduced over the course of the rest of the year. My Department has been working closely with the HSE to identify the measures necessary to ensure that it balances its budget and achieves a balanced vote. Following intensive discussions with my Department, HSE senior management has instructed regional management this week that hospital activity must be brought back in line with service plan targets. In addition the HSE must deliver on its other service plan targets at national and regional levels, with a renewed focus on reducing absenteeism, agency costs and overtime. The HSE will also begin putting probity measures in place to achieve more cost-effective and clinically appropriate usage of approved drugs. Management has also instructed the regions to ensure that patient safety and quality issues are addressed when activity levels in hospitals are being aligned to service plan targets.
The HSE will also seek to reduce and eliminate budget deficits while minimising the impact on front line services by fast tracking new, innovative and more efficient ways of using reducing resources. New models of care will be introduced across all services, which will treat patients at the lowest level of complexity and provide quality services at the least possible cost. The roll-out of the National Clinical Care Programmes and Special Delivery Unit initiatives will also deliver greater productivity.
At the beginning of this year, I informed the House that 2012 would be a very challenging year for the health services. The HSE's Service Plan was framed so as to protect frontline services to the greatest extent possible within the resources allocated to it. I believe that if the HSE successfully addresses the issues I have outlined, the objective of the National Service Plan will be achieved.

Some of the $4 billion of the federal funds allocated to Massachusetts from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) have been spoken for.
But the discussion between Governor Charlie Baker and the Legislature over how to spend the remaining $2.3 billion in ARPA funds is very much alive. How are key lawmakers making spending decisions as a recently passed $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill directs even more federal aid to Massachusetts?

Theo Levey’s early iPhone 6 render wasn’t perfect, but it was usefully close
Reporting on future Apple products isn’t easy — it’s actually one of the biggest challenges in the world of technology journalism. Back in April 2011, The Verge’s predecessor (This Is My Next) ran a much-discussed report on the “iPhone 5,” which was claimed to be teardrop-shaped, with an enlarged, gesture-sensitive Home Button, and a bezel-less 3.7″ screen. NFC, inductive charging, and a speaker and sensors hidden behind the screen were also said to be possibilities for the new iPhone. Not surprisingly, the report lit up the Internet, generating a lot of attention (and over 500 comments) for a fledgling web site. Though some people were skeptical, accessory makers actually took the report seriously enough to manufacture cases matching the claims.
As it turned out, the report was wrong — very wrong. Exactly none of those features actually arrived in either the “iPhone 4S” Apple announced in October 2011, or the real “iPhone 5” that debuted in September 2012. The report also didn’t forecast actual iPhone design trends in any useful way. From my standpoint, that’s the critical difference between most Apple rumors and the ones that are actually worth caring about: some early information, even if it’s imprecise, can help you make a better buying decision about an Apple product today or six months down the line.
A small group of nitpickers — notably including people who are fed information directly by Apple, off-the-record — have been taking shots at people who report independently-researched rumors, attempting to undermine the value of big, “not from Apple” scoops versus small, “not (officially) from Apple” tidbits. This may be an inside baseball topic that most people really don’t care about, but it’s worth at least considering for a moment…

Daimler recently revealed in its Global Media Site that the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Guard is already available to order. According to the company, deliveries of the product to customers will commence in the second half of next year.
The Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Guard is basically the armored version of the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman that was unveiled almost a year ago. It measures 6.50 meters in length with face-to-face seating configuration behind its glass partition.
Daimler claimed that the new variant of the stretched limousine has a VR9 armoring level. That means, the shell of the vehicle is capable of protecting its occupants from guns firing M61-AP rounds or the ones that possess 7.62 x 51 mm caliber such as the M60 machine gun, M14 rifle, and FAL-FN automatic rifle. Its exterior can also hold against certain explosive devices. The said feature definitely makes the car suitable for high-value targets like heads of state or well-known individuals with particular security concerns.
Compared to the standard S600 Pullman, the S600 Pullman Guard is heavier because of its rigid exterior armoring combined with interior elements for the protection of its occupants like Kevlar-like fabrics, steel plates on the sides, and polycarbonate-backed windows. Overall, the armored vehicle weighs around 11,000 pounds.
All other elements from the regular S600 Pullman were retained by the S600 Pullman Guard though. One of them is the 6.0-liter biturbo V12 engine with 530 hp and 890 Nm of torque. The power unit of the armored car gives it an electronically-limited speed of 160 km/h.
There are optional devices that customers can order with the S600 Pullman Guard as well. Among them are sirens, two-way radios, loundspeakers, microphones, emergency battery starter, and flashing lamps.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The City of Bethlehem held its second meeting about the housing market and affordable housing studies on Tuesday night at city hall.
The address, provided to Bethlehem City Council’s Community Development Committee, focused on affordable housing strategies to address what the city says is a “housing crisis.”
Priorities include maintaining existing affordable housing units, addressing housing for the most vulnerable, the building of more affordable housing units, addressing regional housing needs and building “capacity and momentum” for development.
“Our goal is to have a comprehensive and sophisticated and most effective plan come out of this,” Laura Collins, director of community and economic development, said. “…There are really two considerations moving forward. One is what works here…and then also what are the tradeoffs we’re making.”
During Tuesday night’s meeting, Sara Satullo, deputy director of community development, told the committee that everything they would see was for informational purposes.
“We haven’t reached a point where we are prioritizing any strategies or gotten into the nitty-gritty of what is going to work best in Bethlehem,” Satullo said. She added that the work was “difficult” if “you are trying to do it right,” and that it was important at this stage for the city to consider various options to find the best result.
The city hired the firms of Reinvestment Fund, Atria Planning and COLLABO to produce a housing study. Rebecca Rothenberg, a consultant with Atria Planning, listed general strategies Tuesday night.
“We are trying to develop a set of tools for strategies that are based on the needs, and factor in political, social and economic factors that influence what can and can’t be successful,” Rothenberg said. “We also want to maximize the resources the city has by hopefully leveraging as much as possible.”
Rothenberg noted potential public-private partnerships, such as the housing authority, major employers such as hospitals and universities or foundations. Those partnerships, she said, could be “soft,” such as supportive services or neighborhood investment, or “direct,” such as with developers.
Affordable housing ventures are typically done with housing authorities due to their access to government money. This includes Section 8 housing vouchers, although landlords often receive the agencies’ fair market value rate which is less than a unit’s market rate.
“There are hundreds of vouchers not being used because they can’t find any landlords to rent at that rate,” Rothenberg said.
Housing authorities could address this problem by building “directly,” she said.
Another option is a subsidy voucher, which is attached to the unit itself.
“It’s a way to finance new development,” Rothenberg said.
She also suggested the city could have a fund to incentivize landlords and developers as a short-term solution.
A long-term strategy would provide incentives to attract developers to build affordable housing. The city would then have more control over the development itself.
“You can require more collaboration with the community, more design review,” Rothenberg said. “You can also include requirements for parks and landscaping.”
Other options included “tiny home communities” and the accessory dwelling unit model, which permits a small, secondary home to be added to a residential lot.
Tuesday night’s meeting was the second on the topic. The first was held Feb. 8. City officials indicated they will finalize their affordable housing strategies by May, and present their plans in June.

There are some fun, delicious new spots to grab a bite in Belltown! We love it when new eateries are opened in our neighborhood, bringing variety and creativity to both foodies and those who are just enjoying a night out.
From Rene Gutierrez and Charles Walpole, Babirusa reopened in the neighborhood last month after moving from its original location on Eastlake. The restaurant offers a six-course chef’s tasting menu that changes nightly. It’s open Monday through Wednesday from 4 p.m. until midnight, Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. until midnight, Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. until 1 a.m. and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. Gutierrez and Walpole are raising money for some renovations and upgrades to the restaurant on Gofundme.
Chef Hiro Tawara opened Wa’z in Belltown late last month, bringing the elegant art of Japanese kaiseki technique to the neighborhood. Kaiseki is a style of Japanese fine-dining where multiple courses are elegantly plated and served in specific sequences that honor the seasons and culture. The style originated as a light meal that was served before tea ceremonies, and Wa’z nods its head to that history with its decor, which features traditional tea accessories and garments. The dishes reflect the kaiseki tradition using local and organic ingredients.
Get your sake fix at Great Sea Sake, a new Japanese rice beer brewer that will open very soon in Belltown at 2310 4th Avenue. Its grand opening is just pending some state licensing. Owners Kurt Colfelt and Taiko Aoki-Marcial are opening Great Sea Sake as a result of years of sake brewing experience, and the spot will offer a few types of the beverage. Great Sea Sake will offer tasting opportunities and some retail, but its focus will be primarily on education and distribution.

Three quarters (75%) of smaller Welsh businesses don’t understand how the term ‘Net Zero’ applies to them
The majority of smaller businesses in Wales don’t understand how common environmental terms such as ‘net zero’, ‘carbon neutral’ and ‘carbon footprint’ apply to their businesses, according to new research commissioned by the British Business Bank.
The Opinium survey of 1,000 senior decision makers in smaller businesses found that three in five (60%) believe the language, terminology and information around emissions reduction are overcomplex.
‘Carbon jargon’ terms misunderstood by businesses in Wales include:
- Greenhouse gas emissions: 77% of businesses did not have a full understanding of the term and what it meant for their business
- Net Zero: 75%
- Decarbonisation: 67%
- Carbon Neutral: 67%
- Carbon Footprint: 58%
The confusion over the terms aligns with data in the survey which states that just four percent of smaller Welsh businesses say reducing their carbon footprint and environmental impact is their biggest business priority in 2022. However, almost two thirds (59%) say they would find more information and advice about taking action to measure and reduce their business’ carbon emissions helpful.
Over half (52%) wanted advice on measuring their business’ carbon footprint and a similar proportion (48%) wanted information to help work out if reducing carbon emissions makes financial sense for their business.
The findings also outline a significant amount of apathy among smaller businesses in Wales in relation to their role in achieving climate targets, with nearly three in five (56%) believing their businesses are not going to make a significant difference overall. And nearly four in five (77%) agreeing that large corporations are responsible for the majority of business carbon emissions in the UK. The British Business Bank’s Smaller businesses and the transition to net zero report, published in October 2021, found that smaller businesses account for around half (50%) of total emissions from UK businesses.
Despite assuming a lack of responsibility for business carbon emissions, over half (51%) of those surveyed were aware that regulation may be introduced relating to the Government’s net zero target and that it could have an impact on how they ran their business, although one in five (20%) remain unaware this could be the case.
The British Business Bank’s #GreenToGrow campaign, launching today, aims to demystify and alert smaller businesses to the commercial benefits of investing in decarbonisation. Resources include a new ‘Green Decoder’, an online guide designed to help smaller businesses decipher the terminology surrounding decarbonisation.
The British Business Bank’s online Finance Hub also provides a series of guides and information about green issues and how smaller businesses can start their journey towards net zero.
Mark Sterritt, UK Network Director Wales at the British Business Bank, said: “Smaller businesses are far too often put off by the overcomplex ‘carbon jargon’ that comes with reducing emissions. By helping decipher some of the terminology around decarbonisation, the British Business Bank hopes to show smaller businesses that simple, incremental changes, such as switching off equipment when not in use can make a difference in their net zero transition.
“This will become an increasingly important businesses requirement. Given that many consumers now consider sustainability when they make a purchase, by becoming greener, smaller businesses can enhance their competitive edge and expand their customer base.
“Our new mission at the Bank is to continue to drive sustainable growth across the UK, and to enable the transition to a net zero economy, by improving access to finance for smaller businesses. This new #GreenToGrow campaign will help more Welsh businesses find the information they need to move toward transition.”
 All references to smaller businesses refer to small and medium-sized businesses, defined as businesses having 0-249 employees, based in the UK

Ever since the end of January this year, when Microsoft announced its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. There has been an ongoing debate regarding Microsoft’s plans for platform releases from Activision Blizzard. From online debates on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Discord to reluctant or ill-informed prejudicial investigations from certain regulatory bodies like the CMA. It has become a nauseating debate that does not leave the public conversation due to its popularity.
The conversation has mostly tilted to the effects that this acquisition would have pertaining to Call of Duty. More importantly, the effects it would have on the PlayStation platform. As every year PlayStation benefits from its marketing deal with Activision Blizzard and secures a multitude of exclusive content and events in each game release, devaluing it on other platforms. So when the deal would go through, there would be a loss of specific benefits on that platform. So much so that the CEO of PlayStation, Jim Ryan, has been fighting against the deal in an abnormal way. To protect that arrangement for as long as possible.
However, despite the fear of losing the game and its benefits. Microsoft has offered a decade-long agreement to Sony for Call of Duty. As well as just recently in a spontaneous Twitter post from the CEO of Microsoft Gaming, Phil Spencer. Has just publicly stated that they intend to release the game for a decade on the Nintendo Switch, and Steam.
Phil’s Tweet on Commitment of Call of Duty
Below are the tweets regarding the commitment from Microsoft.
I'm also pleased to confirm that Microsoft has committed to continue to offer Call of Duty on @Steam simultaneously to Xbox after we have closed the merger with Activision Blizzard King. @ATVI_AB @ValveSoftware
— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) December 7, 2022
These tweets only state a commitment for Nintendo Switch and Steam only at this time. But considering they have offered this same deal to PlayStation, it appears as though PlayStation has either refused or is trying to get any further commitment from Microsoft. At this time, there have been comments from Jim Ryan stating that this offer was “inadequate on many levels” to them.
Microsoft has been facing scrutiny mostly only from regulatory bodies overseas such as the CMA and EU over the deal. But nothing has come from that scrutiny. However, for gamers on the Nintendo Switch and Steam, this is a big deal to offer a popular title to grow its player base.

Bill Gordon has passed the mantle of head groundsman at The Oval on to Scott Patterson. Patterson, 31, has been on Surrey's staff since 2007 after gaining previous experience at Shenley CC, Horsham CC, Arsenal FC and Merchant Taylor's School.
"It is a great honour to become Head Groundsman at such an incredible ground as the Kia Oval and I am very much looking forward to continuing to prepare for the new season," said Patterson. "I would also like to take this chance to thank Bill Gordon for teaching me so well over the last four seasons. He is one of the top groundsmen in the world today and learning from him has been an amazing experience."
A widely respected groundsman, Gordon won the ECB's Groundsman of the Year award for six years running after taking over from Paul Brind in July 2003. Always favouring dry wickets that produced an even battle between bat and ball, Gordon produced the raging turner for the deciding Ashes clash in 2009 and played a major part in England reclaiming the urn.
"This is a fantastic opportunity for Scott and I look forward to seeing him lead our ground staff over coming seasons," added chief executive Paul Sheldon. "Bill Gordon has been a fantastic servant of the Club for many years and I am delighted that he will continue to work with Scott."

One of the things I really love about my film festival trips is that I get to discover some great small indie gems to share with you guys. Films that probably wouldn’t otherwise get exposure on a mainstream film blog like /Film. The film which most fits that bill from this year’s Telluride Film Festival is a coming of age movie titled Fish Tank. The film is from Academy Award-winning short film writer and director Andrea Arnold, who won the 2006 Cannes Jury Prize with Red Road. Here is the official plot synopsis for Fish Tank:
In Fish Tank (which is not about Fish or tanks for that matter), 15 year old Mia’s life is turned on its head when her mom brings home a new boyfriend. Arnold casts the same unflinching, unprejudiced gaze and touches on the themes of her Oscar-winning short Wasp to create an original and unsettling tale for our age.
Following his acclaimed central performance in Hunger, Michael Fassbender (300, Inglourious Basterds) stars opposite talented newcomer Katie Jarvis. Rounding out the principal cast are BAFTA-nominated Kierston Wareing (Ken Loach’s It’s a Free World), Harry Treadaway (Control, Brothers of the Head) and 12 year old Rebecca Griffiths making her film debut.
The film is an outstanding character piece with powerful performances, more than anything else — which is to say that if you require a story with big plot points, this may not be your thing. It’s a coming of age story with a strong female protagonist, something you don’t often see in Hollywood now-a-days. The film hits theaters in the UK on September 11th 2009, but IFC has yet to announce details about the U.S. release. You can watch the trailer embedded after the jump.

A day after dozens of people were killed in clashes in China's restive Xinjiang region, the Uighur World Congress' Alim Seytoff tells DW Beijing's account of events intends to depict peaceful protesters as "terrorists."
China's jailed ethnic minority Uyghur scholar Ilham Tohti was officially charged in a Xinjiang court Wednesday with inciting separatism.
The Chinese government’s announcement on July 30, 2014, of “separatism” charges against the Uighur economist Ilham Tohti is deeply disturbing, Human Rights Watch said today.
Chinese police in northwestern China’s troubled Xinjiang region have shot dead dozens of knife and axe-wielding ethnic minority Uyghur Muslims who went on a rampage, apparently angry over restrictions during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the cold-blooded killing of a family of five, officials said.
Beijing’s new religious freedom restrictions on ethnic minority Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang amid an anti-terror campaign could trigger new violence in the already restive region, the United States warned Monday, as it released an annual report on international religious freedom
A Chinese official says 13 people were killed on Monday in the latest outbreak of violence in the western region of Xinjiang.


Before getting to know the product
Growth light intelligent panels using high power solid state LED lamps can provide a wide range of light quantity and quality in most panels with 120 watt hour consumption. The complete panel parts of this case are (In-Case) and have the ability to be connected and used quickly as a direct connection to the city electricity (Plug and Go). The panels have the ability to be integrated and are installed together as a puzzle to cover a larger area.
To calculate the light power of the panels required by the customer, first based on the plant growth conditions, ambient light conditions, installation distance and plant height, the amount of light needed to achieve the cultivation goals in the form of Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density (PPFD) with The unit is calculated as micromole per square meter per second (µmol.m-2.s-1) or as the sum of daily received light (Daily Light Integral, DLI). Then, considering PPFD or DLI, optical power and panel dimensions are designed and manufactured.
The panels are capable of providing reproductive, vegetative and special light, such as increasing the effective substance in medicinal plants or controlling vegetative growth in incubator systems for the plant chosen by the user. Also, multi-function panels are capable of suite between the complete light spectrum, vegetative and reproductive. All LED panels of Tupa company are known under GrowLi brand and are completely smart. The panels are able to adjust the quantity and quality of light automatically and manually through the Farmino application and send the light status report to the Farmino application. Therefore, the user is able to check the light status, change the exposure program and be informed about the system failure by the Farmino mobile application. Ventilation and intelligent panel temperature control works automatically to increase the life of LEDs. The LEDs used in the panels have a minimum lifespan of 20,000 hours and have a nano cover with minimal UV light absorption.
Why Growth Light Panels?
You must have faced the high prices of fresh food products such as tomatoes and cucumbers in winter. The most important reason for producers is the effect of the cost of producing the product on its selling price. When we talk to the producers, they complain about low performance and high cost.
This is exactly the problem! More production per unit area than an equal number of plants or in a word production productivity!
If we take a close look at the production process in plants, we will find that light, along with carbon dioxide, are the most important factors limiting the increase in production in greenhouses and intensive breeding centers. Light photons are absorbed by the chloroplast pigments of plants and keep the electron cycle active for photosynthesis so that growth and production occur in the plant. When the light is limited, the intensity of photosynthesis is reduced and as a result, the yield is also reduced. Therefore, light will have a direct effect on the amount of product production and its final price.
Why is growth lamp light necessary for greenhouse production?
The study of Mojarrad and Moradi (2013) in Iran showed that the hours of sunshine change the most during the year in productive areas such as the coasts of the Caspian Sea, and except for the summer season, the role of geographical latitude in the spatial distribution of hours of sunshine is very significant in the country. Therefore, the off-season production (autumn and winter) of the country is very affected by changes in the amount of light compared to the natural crop season. Similarly, as the seasons change, the quality of natural light also changes. In spring, the quality of light is towards vegetative growth, in summer it is reproductive, in autumn, it is proportional to the stimulation of pigments other than chlorophyll, and in winter, the contribution of atmospheric reflection is higher. Therefore, for maximum off-season production capacity in greenhouses, additional artificial light is needed to correct the amount and quality of natural light. For example, high-yielding varieties of tree tomatoes are capable of producing up to 15 tomatoes on each cluster in the hydroponic system, but with light limitation, the intensity of photosynthesis is reduced, and with the same cost in winter, fewer fruits appear on each cluster. . Costs include labor, energy, seeds, and fertilizer-irrigation, and only by correcting the amount and quality of light, this value returns to normal and even increases by 15-20% (Demers et al., 1998; Figure 1). In a similar way, the amounts of sugar and basic compounds also change in the fruit. Another example is greenhouse cucumber, which is sensitive to the length of sunshine hours and light quality for flower production, especially the number of female flowers (Ikram et al., 2015). Therefore, the quantity and quality of the product is completely dependent on the light. The sensitivity of light supply in flower production greenhouses is even higher. For example, in long-day flowers such as irises, which bloom when the night gets shorter, one to two hours of lighting at night (Flash light) accelerates the production of flowering stems, and the cost of producing the product and Reduces time to market. Similarly, to control the time of presentation to the market in flowers that are short-day, i.e. they flower as the night becomes longer than the day, such as chrysanthemum, they delay the emergence of flowers by giving light at midnight. (figure 2). This issue is very important in managing market supply and maintaining the income rhythm of large greenhouses (Downs and Thomas, 1982; Singh et al., 2015).
Why LED grow lights?
Different light systems with different lamps are used for growth. High pressure sodium vapor (HPS) lamps are the most widely used type. These lamps have a high energy consumption cost and their heat radiation is also high. They are also deficient in the blue and far red light spectrums. These lamps are more suitable for flower and fruit production. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are also used in a more limited way. Energy consumption and installation costs are lower than HPS lamps, but they are more suitable for vegetative growth and do not help the production of flowers and fruits. Another problem with CFL lamps is their lower efficiency than HPS lamps. The reason for the better efficiency of HPS lamps is probably that they provide better supplemental light than CFL lamps in non-crop seasons. Unlike HPS and CFL lamps, LED lamps are completely flexible. Unlike the other two, the quantity and quality of their light can be fully adjusted by changing the combination and number of LEDs, and they have high efficiency. The optical flexibility of LED lamps allows the light to be adjusted according to the required quantity and quality and optimize costs (Figure 3). Like HPS lamps, they do not contain mercury and do not need to be heated to reach maximum radiation. Unlike CFL lamps, LED lamps are able to focus on the quality control of light, and it is possible to increase or decrease the intensity of radiation of a certain wavelength with a predetermined goal, for example, to produce more leaves or change the amount of pigment in lettuce (Figure 4, right). The repair of LED optical complexes is relatively less expensive and their useful life is at least twice that of HPS types. The flexibility of LED lamps is not only limited to the quantity and quality of light, but also includes energy consumption and costs. The most important advantage of LED growth lamps is the possibility of increasing the density of breeding in a class manner (Figure 4, left). This technology is still in development but has a bright future. Figure 5 compares LED lamps with different types of HPS and CFL lamps.

A Statesboro City Council meeting brought up relevant discussions regarding local alcohol ordinances last Tuesday.
The public hearing and second reading of Ordinance 2017-01 was approved by Statesboro City Council . The ordinance will re-establish the Statesboro Code of Ordinances for the proximity requirements for alcoholic beverages by designating a specific location (the front door of a business) for the measurement to start. This applies except to the state requirements that primarily regard package stores. Another change is that the required distance to residential zoning districts has been removed.
Statesboro City Council also addressed the Ordinance 2017-02 that would revise the city licensor requirements for an alcohol licence. This revision would be made so that the Statesboro alcohol licences mirror those that the state has in the Georgia Administrative code.
“There’s some very straightforward compliance issues in the state regulations. Some have pertained to us; some have nothing to do with us,” Mayor Jan Moore said. “But, the ones that do they are very simple…We are trying to go issue by issue to match them up.”
Ordinance 2017-03, which regards the span of the look back period, was up for discussion. The amendment would include revising the statement, “Any previous office within the past five year period as measured from the day of the previous offence to the date of the current offense.” Under the amended ordinance, five years would be changed to three years.
Mayor Moore felt that this change could be “a double edge sword.” “If you only look back at three years if something happened in five years and to put it into context, it won’t be presented that way,” Moore said. “If somebody’s had a really good record and a little short record of bad luck, you’re not going to see that.”
Ordinance 2017-04 was the last of the four alcohol ordinances to be discussed at the meeting. Its intent is to amend Sec. 6-3 of the City of Statesboro Code of ordinances to redefine alcohol use at catered events. The revision would include changing the ordinance’s current language to alcoholic beverages may be “served and or sold” as opposed to just “served.”
Although Ordinance 2017-01 was the only ordinance to be approved, the other three ordinances will be voted in the next session of City Council.

I've come to realize a big mistake I've made in my relationships, including with my parents. I used to think that being present all the time was the key to making a relationship work. It was a logical checklist for me, but I've learned that emotions don't always follow logic.
Three principles stand out to me now:
- Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
- Familiarity breeds contempt.
- Always leave them wanting a little more.
My dad was the one who opened my eyes to this. He likes me more when he misses me. When I visit for a short time, we appreciate each other more. If I stay for two months, little issues start adding up, and they can breed contempt.
This lesson doesn't only apply to my family. It's true for romantic relationships too. At the beginning of dating, it's good to create a mystery. If you're long-distance, let them want to see you. Don't just be ever-present in their life. Don't overwhelm them with half-hearted phone calls multiple times a day.
Make the moments apart special, but also leave room for when you meet up in person. Make that time more special by not overwhelming them with your presence.
I've learned that even if I'm happy in a relationship and see a long-term future, I shouldn't look or be overly attached. Let the other person want more of you. Let them wonder and get excited when you communicate.
I, as a man, want the woman to initiate a convo with me a solid percentage of the time. It shouldn't feel like an obligation, but rather their choice.
Even if I'm comfortable in a relationship and see it going long term, I should never deprive the other person of the opportunity to want to be in that relationship. Never get too comfortable, never create an environment where they're deprived of this ability to choose.
In the end, it's about balance and understanding human nature more deeply. Too much presence can suffocate, while the right amount of absence can indeed make the heart grow fonder. It's about appreciating the time together and allowing for longing that makes the relationship richer and more meaningful.

They have dominated Blackpool’s skyline since the 1960s.
But work has now begun to dismantle the first two tower blocks at Queens Park which will make way for a £22m redevelopment to provide more family housing.
Developers Lovell officially began the demolition process yesterday of Ashworth Court and Charles Court, and are due to complete the work by March.
The two blocks are being taken down in sections by excavators which will dismantle the buildings over several stages.
Coun Gillian Campbell, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for housing, said: “The Queens Park tower blocks have been an iconic point on the Blackpool skyline for decades.
“To see them go will be quite a shock but we are delighted they will be making way for a high-quality housing development that will improve Blackpool’s housing standards immeasurably.”
Residents have been moving out of the estate since the proposals to redevelop the area were first proposed in 2011.
Now only Walter Robinson Court is still occupied.
Demolition work started at the end of 2013 on the estate’s three-storey maisonettes.
It is being carried out in phases to enable construction to begin at the Talbot Road end of the site.
The first phase will see 92 new homes built, made up of 70 apartments and 22 houses, with 198 properties set to be built in total over the life of the project.
Delivery of the first homes for occupation is scheduled in stages from this summer, with the first phase due to be completed by March next year.
Gwen King, chairman of the Queens Park Residents Association based at Laycock Gate, said: “The high rise blocks have had their day.
“It is sad in some ways to see the towers being demolished, but progress is progress and everyone is looking forward to the lovely new homes being built in their place.”
Lovell regeneration manager Bruce Lister said: “Our team is pleased to have reached this milestone in this major redevelopment programme which will deliver modern, energy-efficient new housing for local people and their families.”

But with the release of Netflix’s new chilling true crime doc ‘Dream/Killer‘ comes the scary realisation that any of your odd dreams could get someone thrown in prison.
Apologies to all the random people my brain has made to chase me through a haunted hospital – you’re all going straight to jail.
Alongside recent hits such as “The Devil Next Door”, and “The Confession Killer”, this newest addition promises that Netflix have well and truly jumped aboard the true crime train.
The documentary follows the story of a father’s relentless journey to free his son accused of murder, Ryan Ferguson, from a 40-year-sentence.
Although, this is no standard case. Differing from similar premised documentaries such as the blockbuster ‘Making a Murderer’, Ferguson’s imprisonment is based in even more tenuous evidence – someone else’s dream.
After the 2001 murder of a man, Kent Heitholt, who was found dead in his work car park strangled to death with his own belt, police were struggling to close the only unsolved murder in the city at the time.
But two years later, the case was renewed with an anonymous tip-off. Hinting towards a man named Charles “Chuck” Erickson, the source encouraged law enforcement to his whereabouts on the night of the murder.
Chuck Erickson, and his friend Ryan Ferguson, attended a number of Halloween parties the night-of, and were taking drugs when they met at 10:30pm.
When interrogated, Erickson said he was unsure whether he remembered killing Heitholt in a dream, or if it was reality.
“I didn’t know if it was memory, or if it was a dream. I assumed that if I’d done it, Ryan and I did it to get more money for drinks”, he reported when questioned on his confession.
On one occasion, in an interrogation, Ferguson was told his friend had provided information that had never been released to the press.
So based on a 2-year-old drugged-up memory, the police said his statements incriminated himself and Ryan, and we charged with murder in the first and second degree.
Alongside Kathleen Zellner, the lawyer famous for her work in the ‘Making a Murderer’ case, Bill Ferguson began his own amateur investigation to free his son.
Fighting against a prosecution relying on the dream testimony of Erickson, who talked of memories that have come to him since talking to the police, his obsession leads to holes in the evidence.
The documentary uses archival footage from the point at which Ryan was arrested, to the interviews with him in prison, to the court hearings. Each piece of evidence reveals the flaws, and strengths, of the American judicial system, and how easily it can be influenced.
Released on the streaming service yesterday (November 20th), you don’t even have to wait.
Already, people are flocking to Twitter to praise the documentary.
One person said: “Just finished watching! Excellent! They messed with the wrong father, who was fortunate to find the best lawyer!”
“I have told people about this very engaging film.” another shared. “Always the same – yes it is a documentary…but so moving. Very worthy watch that is both educational and enjoyable to watch!”
A third said: “Dream/Killer is by far, one of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched.”
This is a must-see.

Have you ever had your feelings hurt or been back-stabbed? Has an event or person ever made you so sad and bitter that you would never in your life consider forgiving them?
It is often the case that we will re-experience these events over and over in our heads. The more you think about it, the more bitter and angry you become because of the event, or individual who hurt you.
Unfortunately, these emotions have a stronger effect on your health than you may realize.
Every time you re-experience these negative events in life, you body suffers just as much as your mind. That’s why harboring negative emotions can lead to devastating long-term disease.
Fortunately, if you’re able to forgive, you’ll also be able to release these bitter feelings of resentment, and finally move on. The issue here, though, is that Western culture often perceives forgiveness as a sign of weakness, submission or both. This makes it harder to actually do the work to forgive those who have done you harm.
The Power of Forgiveness
Clinically speaking, forgiveness is when you get to a place where you can “release” a sense of hostility and an angry mindset towards the one who has hurt you (regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness) (1).
Keep in mind that forgiveness is a process, not an event. That’s why there is such a huge difference between decisional forgiveness and emotional forgiveness.
Decisional forgiveness is a “behavioral intention to resist an unforgiving stance and to respond differently toward a transgressor,” whereas emotional forgiveness is “the replacement of negative unforgiving emotions with positive other-oriented emotions. Emotional forgiveness involves psychophysiological changes, and it has more direct health and well-being consequences (2).”
Studies have found that forgiving personality types are related to better subjective and psychological well-being (3). Other studies have found that forgiveness is linked to improved physical symptoms, fewer medications used, better sleep quality, less fatigue, and fewer somatic complaints (4).
Forgiveness has also been linked to better cardiovascular health, according to one study published in the American Journal of Cardiology. They found that anger and other negative emotions had cardio-toxic effects, while forgiveness had a more cardio-protective role (5).
Forgiveness and Your Health
If you remain resentful, confused, hostile, and unclear about something that’s happened in the past, your physical body will also start feeling the toll.
Dr. Steven Standiford, the Chief of Surgery at the Cancer Treatment Facilities of America, remarks that remembering these sad thoughts makes one nervous and causes inner turmoil (6). Naturally, this causes an abnormal surge in the cortisone and adrenalin levels in the body. In turn, this decreases the number of cells that kill threats to the body.
So the cells that are protecting your body from disease and illness are hampered when the body is in a state of anger, hostility, and un-forgiveness. This means that you are more prone to developing diseases like cancer.
Stewing over a problem causes the body to continuously release cortisol, and this isn’t good. Choosing not to forgive will simply make you sicker, and keep you from getting better.
“It’s important to treat emotional wounds or disorders because they really can hinder someone’s reactions to the treatments, even someone’s willingness to pursue treatment,” said Standiford.
Dr. Michael Barry author of the book The Forgiveness Project estimates that 61 percent of cancer patients have forgiveness issues. “Harbouring these negative emotions, this anger and hatred creates a state of chronic anxiety,” he explains. “Chronic anxiety very predictably produces excess adrenaline and cortisol, which depletes the production of natural killer cells, which is your body’s foot soldier in the fight against cancer.”
How To Forgive?
Learning how to forgive can take time, but it’s all a matter of re-wiring the brain and really putting in the work to change your neural networks.
It can be as simple as letting go of hurtful memories and remembering that the person who hurt you is also human. You also need to learn how to forgive yourself for carrying around the weight of resentment. Learning how to let go of the past is incredibly freeing. There are great resources online on how to forgive, like here, here, and here.

Finding the right tattoo artist is a bit like finding The One minus the confessions and the vow to live together ever after. It’s already tricky finding that back home and now you have to find Bali tattoo artist with all the language barrier and an entire set of complication of purchasing a service abroad.
This isn’t exactly a bulletproof guide on how to find just the right Bali tattoo artist for you. But rather, we’ll talk about pointers on how to make your communication with your tattoo artist smooth-sailing.
When getting Bali tattoo you should feel comfortable
Never underestimate your very own comfort whenever you’re purchasing a tattoo service. You need to pay attention to this particularly since you’re going to get Bali tattoo and everything is going to be undergone abroad. Listen to your guts.
Talented tattooists & tattoo Bali community
Bali is swarmed with talented tattoo artists from all over the world. They love to flock here, whether for a temporary guesting at certain tattoo studios, or staying here for good among the expat community. With that said, Bali certainly does not lack local talents. The island is filled with talents from all around Indonesia as well. And speaking from experience, it’s definitely an absolute pleasure to be able to work with the locals here.
The tattoo artist Bali makes effort to communicate with you
Now that we’ve established that tattoo artists are in abundance on the island, there’s the fact that there are things like language barrier that could possibly be a major hindrance for you to get Bali tattoo. This isn’t something you have to worry about when getting inked back home. And it’s a valid concern. However, not to fret, the Balinese and the Indonesian locals in general are very welcoming. Many of them speak fluent English. Many certainly have limited language skills, but it never posed a major problem with getting tattoo Bali so far.
If you truly are concerned, here are several things you should prepare when you’re consulting:
- The rough tattoo design or something similar to what you want. Communicating with illustrations is so much easier. You’ll thank yourself later if you’ve prepared this.
- Prepare text that highlights the features of your tattoo design. Sometimes people aren’t so good at catching what’s spoken, but with text, they’ll be able to look it up easily.
- The old school pen and paper. To help you during the time you explain your tattoo. Too difficult to put to words plus the language barrier? Then sketch it out!
You have to be comfortable around the tattoo artist
We talk about comfort a lot here. But what should you be on the lookout for when it comes to comfort? Aside from listening to your guts, here are some quick pointers:
Signs when to avoid Bali tattoo artist:
- They have an “attitude”; either they think they’re too good or to hip to do your tattoo, or they talk down on you. This has never happened to us in Bali personally (the locals are just so friendly!) but we in the tattoo community are aware it’s known to happen.
- The artist isn’t sanitary. A huge red flag. While communication and the fact that they must “click” with you matters, also pay attention to some of the most fundamental aspects of tattooing; hygiene. Does your artist reuse their disposables (needles, gloves, ink)? What about their workspace? Is it clean and well-lit? (You do NOT want to draw on dimly lit spaces!)

Today, Montréal is recognized as one of the international leaders in artificial intelligence. This reputation is not a coincidence. The city has an extraordinary ecosystem that brings together world-renowned businesspeople, researchers and governments. Collaboration between these people is one of the main reasons why this sector is flourishing.
Collaboration, a key to success
Montréal has over 300 researchers and doctoral students in fields related to AI and almost 11,000 students in artificial intelligence and data processing. In the business world, the city is home to around 30 incubators and accelerators as well as many global stakeholders who have chosen Montréal to develop their AI expertise.
An ecosystem like this is already a favourable environment, but the collaboration between research labs and the business world is key to the growth and vitality of this sector. It is the most important factor in the creation of businesses and applications with national and international opportunities.
“In today’s world, where 85% of the professions of 2030 don’t yet exist, we must do more than just change the way we operate. We need to reinvent it entirely. It is essential that the research and business worlds break their silos, embrace disciplinary diversity and create positive, vibrant, respectful collaboration models. With such big changes in such a short period of time, no industrial or academic talent can hope to succeed alone.”
“Partnerships between research labs and the business world are critical to ensuring a better alignment between economic development and the social impact of new technology like artificial and digital intelligence.”
Collaboration at the heart of the second Strategic Forum on AI
In January 2018, over 850 people attended the first Strategic Forum on Artificial Intelligence organized by the Chamber. It was a resounding success, and so a second edition of the Forum is planned for February 18, with the goal of accelerating the appropriation of AI by companies of all sizes and all sectors, as well as strengthening collaboration between stakeholders.
The event will give attendees the chance to discover how companies can concretely integrate AI, improve their competitiveness and seize new business opportunities. It will also be an opportunity to get acquainted with the new supercluster, SCALE AI, and how its calls for projects work.
