The combination of Indian factors-especially climate change policy, fuel costs and rising demand for e-commerce-sets ideal conditions for startups like the all-electric commercial vehicle startup EVage.
According to one investor, the startup, which has already supplied five EV trucks to Amazon India’s delivery service partners and plans to provide “thousands” by the end of the year, is a US-based VC Red. Blue Capital. EVage will use this money to complete a production-ready plant in the suburbs of Delhi in the first quarter of 2022, expanding production to meet growing demand.
EVage’s flagship vehicle is a ton (£ 2,000) truck designed for the Indian commercial delivery market using feedback from a partnership with Amazon. The truck is being developed on EVage’s industry-ready EV platform and can produce several different types of high-quality vehicles at a much lower cost than other OEMs, the company says. The startup plans to build the vehicle at the “Modular Micro Manufacturing” plant. Arrival micro factoryIt should emit less carbon dioxide than traditional OEMs and require less capital to produce vehicles.
Conclusion: EVage aims to return these savings to its customers.
Finding ways to make production cheaper is essential for scaling, and the opportunities and demand for scaling EVs in India are enormous.
India’s Minister of Transport Nitin Gadkari says India’s Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has played a high-level role in the announcement of the deal between EVage and Amazon, said Olaf Sakkers, general partner of RedBlue Capital and future EVage board member, making 30% of the country private. I set the goal. By 2030, 40% of cars and buses, 80% of motorcycles and tricycles, and 70% of commercial vehicles will be electric vehicles.
A series of incentives such as faster adoption and manufacturing of (hybrid &) electric vehicle schemes (FAME-I and FAME-II) Assist by providing subsidies for electric motorcycles and commercial or transportation-related four-wheeled vehicles. The FAME-II subsidy applies only if the OEM procures 50% of the components from a local manufacturer. This also helps to strengthen the supply side.
Motorcycles and tricycles are already on track towards that goal.Especially companies like Ora Electric Large factory for electronic scooters And Hero Motor Corp, one of the countries Largest micro EV maker, Signed a contract with Taiwanese battery replacement company Gogoro and built a battery replacement network in India. The market for four-wheeled vehicles is a bit slow, as the average commuter doesn’t buy an electric car. Therefore, the road to adoption of electric four-wheeled buggies is likely to occur via commercial roads, Soccers said.
India’s e-commerce market is exploding. Especially because global companies are increasing their presence in India and mobile-first countries full of smartphone users are becoming very comfortable with simple digital transactions. Amazon has invested $ 6.5 billion Wal-Mart has been in India since entering the country in 2013 $ 16 billion acquisition Of the startup flip cart. Alongside national and local shipping companies, these companies are looking for partnerships with Indian OEMs that can meet the unique demands of the Indian market.
“There are several electric vehicles operating in developed markets such as the United States and Europe. I see companies like Libyan selling to the logistics fleet for these use cases, but Indian logistics in the Indian market. Needs are very different, “says Sakkers. I told TechCrunch. “Because we need to solve a variety of problems, we have a great opportunity to create custom-made vehicles for these use cases.
From a pure engineering point of view, Sakkers said, EVage vehicles are certified to drive at highway speeds, as in India, for example, because they rarely exceed 40 mph. He said he didn’t have to meet the criteria. That means everything from motor requirements to battery size to the type of material you need to build is different and potentially much cheaper, Sakkers added.
“Saving the total cost of ownership of our customers is very important,” says Sakkers. “They do this not only for optical reasons, but also for purely economic reasons. In India, when a certain amount of emissions is produced, it cannot be operated in a certain time zone in a city, so electric vehicles If you are operating, you will also improve your ability to operate a logistics fleet. “
“There aren’t many startups that fit this type, so we’re putting a lot of money into EVage,” Sakkers said. “Demand for vehicles in this segment is 500,000 a year in India. Increasing production to hundreds of thousands is not only a challenge for the company, but also a great opportunity.”

With more and more pet pythons escaping from their owners, the wild Burmese python population in the Everglades continues to grow and compromise the swamp’s delicate ecosystem. In an effort to try to control this over growth and raise awareness of the issue, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launched the 2013 Python Challenge where hunters raced to find and harvest as many pythons as they could. With a python body count of 68, the event was considered to be a success.
Burmese pythons are large beautiful snakes originating from Southeast Asia and reaching lengths of 23 feet or more. Because of their beautifully patterned skin, Burmese pythons are a popular choice of pet among reptile owners. However, most python owners are not properly equipped and prepared for long term Burmese python ownership. So, when the pythons get too big they either escape or are released into the wild and learn to adapt to their new environment. In warm swampy areas such as the Everglades, Burmese python populations have flourished and with no natural predators the pythons have made their way to the top of the food chain causing other swamp animal populations to disappear.
In Jan 2013 the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) held the 2013 Python Challenge to help control the python population and raise awareness. The 2013 Python Challenge was a one month long competition where hunters participated in the tracking and harvesting of as many pythons as they could. The FWC gave the hunters tips on where to look for the pythons and advised a humane method (decapitating or shooting straight for the head) for euthanizing the animals. At the end of the competition the snake body count amounted to 68, which was a little more than expected. Hunting and catching pythons is a difficult task. They are very elusive creatures. They can stay hidden very well in tall grass and are good at hiding out in the water. According to National Geographic pythons “can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes before surfacing for air.” Thus, finding 68 hidden pythons is a huge accomplishment.
The 2013 Python Challenge was about more than just killing off a few snakes, it was also about promoting awareness and education. The FWC’s mission statement is: “To manage fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people.” This entails not only participating in actions to control species populations but also researching and collocating data about the ecosystems to understand the best ways to manage wildlife. Thus, the Python Challenge was also useful for collecting data about the non-native snakes locations in the Everglades to get a better understanding of their habits and trends.
Of course in cases like these there will always be opposing views as to whether or not snake hunting and killing (even humanely) is an ethical way to deal with this ecological problem. For opposing opinions about the 2013 Python Challenge check out this article from National Geographic and this article about PETA’s (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) opinion on the issue. Anyone in the Florida area who wants to help with the python issue but doesn’t want to harm or touch the snakes can go the I’ve Got One website and report their sighting online or over the phone. People in the Atlanta area who want to report a sighting of an invasive species can go to this web page and leave the details.
So, 2013 Python Challenge- ethical or not? Is there a better way to deal with the issue? Let's discuss it! Leave your thoughts in the comments section below. Also, remember to subscribe to the mailing list to be among the first to get animal and pet related news.

Cruise Report: Redfish ‑ Arni Fridriksson
Three research cruises were conducted in the Irminger Sea and adjacent waters during June and July of 2015. R/V Arni Fridriksson, Marine Research Institute, Reykjavik (black), R/V Walther Herwig III, Thunen Institute of Sea Fisheries, Hamburg (red), and R/V Akademik Ioffe, Russian Academy of Sciences (yellow), collaborated with CERC.OCEAN and the respective institutes to conduct the research project. The primary objective for CERC.OCEAN was to gather biogeochemical data from this under-sampled, yet highly significant region of the North Atlantic.
In the summers of 2013 and 2015 CERC.OCEAN collaborated with the Marine Research Institute, Reykjavik during the International Redfish Survey. The Redfish Survey is an ICES project that monitors the stock of the commercially important species Sebastes mentella. In 2015 the research vessel Arni Fridriksson left Reykjavik and spent the month of June on 6 transects in the Northern Irminger Sea, between Reykjanes Ridge and Southeastern Greenland. With CTD casts reaching 1000 m depth every 60 nautical miles, the Redfish Survey provides a unique platform for biogeochemical sampling that had not been exploited prior to the involvement of CERC.OCEAN. Our sampling regime included several inorganic carbon parameters, macro-nutrients, HPLC, and isotope data collection. The International Redfish Survey is conducted biannually providing an additional temporal component to the broad geographical coverage of the Irminger basin and adjacent waters that CERC.OCEAN is able to achieve through this collaborative effort.

First, get offended.
A company has done something that deeply, painfully offends you.
Second, do something about it. Namely, stop purchasing the company’s products. But also post to social media, hold protests outside the location. Get as much media attention as you can. Rally the forces of like-minded people to your side.
Third, don’t stop until they’re out of business or you get satisfaction.
For fun, let’s roll back the clock to 150 or more years ago. Step one happens, but instead of holding a protest, you arrange a duel or just outright shoot the offender.
That doesn’t seem like the right course of action. I guess we can take a moment and pat ourselves on the backs as a society for getting past that point.
On the other hand, I’m not sure where we’ve landed is the best place, either.
The old way used violence to coerce someone into doing what you want. You’re essentially saying, “do what I want, in the way that I want it, or I will physically harm you.”
In the new way, we essentially say, “do what we want, in the way that we want it, or we’re going to try to destroy your livelihood.”
It’s not the same as killing someone, but even if the mechanism is different, the coercion remains.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and suggest that we don’t want to live in a society that runs its public discourse via coercion. It’s only fair that anything you apply you also have to be able to take, as well. If you’re willing to coerce someone, you must, in turn, be willing to be silenced by coercion.
I, for one, and not willing to be a party to that.
So, how do we improve this situation?
Let me start with a story: I don’t drink Starbucks much anymore. It isn’t that the quality is inconsistent from location to location or at the same place from day to day, such that I’ve had both the best coffee and the worst coffee I’ve ever had there.
On the other hand, I can’t stand what the company stands for. They’re for a lot of things I’m against, and against a lot of things I am for. When it comes down to it, I don’t think we see the world in similar terms at all.
Which means that every cup of coffee I buy makes me feel a little bit slimy. It’s as though by spending money I’m supporting things that I oppose.
There are two aspects of this situation that I’d like to draw your attention to because I feel they tell us a lot about why we want to boycott.
First, the emotional aspect. What I feel is real, and it’s reasonable. It’s (mostly) backed up by logic. I can’t, and probably shouldn’t, ignore these feelings, as they’re signs that something worth paying attention to is happening in the world.
Second, the political part. Some companies are heavily politicized. There are many reasons why this could be good or bad.
Maybe they should be praised because they have the spine to have moral beliefs, which might not always pay off for them.
Or maybe they should be condemned because they unnecessarily complicate simple economic transactions by tying all of them to a greater moral crusade.
Or maybe they should be looked up to because they have everything right.
Or maybe they should be shut down because they have everything wrong and are a danger to society.
But, even if any of those were true, they don’t matter.
Let’s imagine that you and a couple of your close friends, say 10% of the customers of a particular store or chain, decide that you are going to boycott the company on whatever moral grounds.
Some companies are profitable enough that this won’t really matter. Others have people with such strong convictions at the top, that even if it hurts the company, they won’t yield.
At this point, everybody’s worse off. The company makes less money, and the boycotts deny themselves something they liked at a price they were willing to pay for it.
Or, maybe you succeed. The company folds and changes whatever you disagreed with. Great!
But is it great?
Did the people inside the company change their moral stance? Or did that just do what was economically expedient?
Odds are on the latter.
The fundamentally weird thing about boycotts is that they’re trying to use an economic tool to solve a moral problem. Which is something akin to trying to perform brain surgery with philosophy. It’s the wrong tool for the job. And even if, somehow, you get the results you want, you can’t be sure that you’ve solved the problem you’ve set out to solve, which is the moral stance of the people running the company.
It seems to me that if your moral stance is really strong, and perhaps even the right one, then you shouldn’t feel the need to bully people in order to get what you want. I hate to call boycotting bullying, due to the good things it’s been associated with in the past, but there’s an uncomfortable amount of parallels between the two. It’s not that you can’t get what you want through boycotts, but you do have to wonder what moral ground you have to give up in order to get it.
In conclusion, I do have to make a distinction.
There’s a difference between realizing that your money might be used in a political way you don’t approve of by a company and choosing not to spend it there and taking that same realization and using it to start some sort of collective action. Follow your moral compass but understand that your moral compass isn’t everyone’s moral compass and there’s often little you can do to change people’s minds.
Again, I hate knocking boycotts. It feels wrong on some level. But I do think that I’ve established a few areas in which there might be moral hazard, which means that we should move cautiously when considering how to respond to these situations.

Twelve months ago, the Japanese golf star fired a career low 9-under 63 at The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass to lead the first round of THE PLAYERS Championship, only for the PGA TOUR’s flagship tournament to be cancelled hours later due to COVID-19.
The 29-year-old since regrets not utilizing his time better at home after the TOUR implemented a three-month shutdown, citing Bryson DeChambeau, who re-emerged all bulked up before powering his way to two eye-catching wins, including the U.S. Open, and last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.
But Matsuyama will still get his chance again at this week’s US$15 million star-studded event, which continues to deliver the TOUR’s golden standard in sports and entertainment, as well as showcase the strongest field in golf at the iconic Stadium Course.
The five-time TOUR winner said he did not think about what may have happened if last year’s tournament was not disrupted, choosing instead to look forward towards another opportunity to challenge for the prestigious PLAYERS title.
“I was able to play well last year but all of us were put in a pretty difficult position at that moment. I’m just looking forward to another opportunity to play well and compete,” said Matsuyama, who is the most successful Japanese golfer on TOUR.
“I enjoyed back-to-back top 10s (at The Genesis Invitational and WGC-Mexico Championship last year) but played very poorly at the Arnold Palmer (Invitational), so I wasn’t sure what to expect at THE PLAYERS and ended up playing very well in the first round. I recall putting in a new putter that week as I had been switching around to different putters and the putter I had worked very well. I was making little adjustments to my putting stroke and I was really hoping to maintain my form.”
Matsuyama’s track record at TPC Sawgrass, often regarded as the purest test in golf, suggests he can contend again. He finished T8 in 2019 and T7 in 2016 and registered three other top-25s in six appearances. His 63 before last year’s cancellation featured an eagle, eight birdies and one bogey.
His annual visit to the TOUR’s showpiece event along with seven consecutive appearances in the FedExCup Playoffs Finale, the TOUR Championship, is a reflection of Matsuyama’s sheer consistency. This season, he has one top-10 and five top-25s but the Japanese star longs to end a four-year winless drought.
“It means a lot each time I get to play. Obviously with THE PLAYERS, if you don’t make the top-125 in the FedExCup points list, you don’t get in. It shows how consistent I’ve been and it’s a goal of mine to one day become THE PLAYERS champion. It is on my list of tournaments I hope to win one day and if that’s something I’m able to accomplish, I’ll be extremely happy,” said Matsuyama, whose best result this season was a runner-up finish at the Houston Open.
“Day-by-day, my game is improving and I feel good about my chances of winning this year. The most important thing is to have everything come together at the right time and I feel pretty good about my chances.”
As he reflected on last year’s shutdown, Matsuyama conceded he could have made better use of his time at home during the hiatus. “When the cancellation was announced, I felt it was understandable given the circumstance. I was not upset. I realised we were going to have some tough times ahead. At that time, it was reported the Masters was still going to take place so I decided to stay on in the States and practice at home (in Orlando), compete in the Masters before going back to Japan,” said Matsuyama.
“When reports (on the pandemic) started to get worse, I realized it was safer to go back to Japan. I had no idea when the season was going to resume and it was difficult to set up a schedule. Even if I did, I didn’t know if it was going to be good for me. Reflecting on the two months hiatus, I regret that I could have utilized the time a little better. I should have made a detailed plan and focused on improving on the certain parts of my game.
“You can really see the growth from DeChambeau. Looking at him, I feel I have wasted my time. I’m not comparing myself to other people, but when I look back, I think to myself that I should have done this training or worked on that part of my game. It’s not great to regret about the past. But I think it’s important to remember this feeling.”
HISTORY-MAKER KIM EYES NEW MILESTONES AS HE RETURNS TO THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
Being the youngest victor of THE PLAYERS Championship holds great pride and joy for Korea’s Si Woo Kim. But the 25-year-old is hoping it will not remain the biggest highlight of his PGA TOUR career.
Kim was a surprise winner on The Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in 2017, where he became only the second Asian and Korean golfer after countryman K.J. Choi in 2011 to triumph in the PGA TOUR’s flagship tournament. He was just 21 years old at the time only nine months removed from his maiden TOUR title at the Wyndham Championship.
A mixture of injuries and indifferent form saw the Korean talent take nearly four more years to secure victory No. 3 at The American Express at PGA West (Stadium) in La Quinta earlier this year, and he is hoping the good times will keep rolling from now onward.
When he steps into the winners’ locker room at TPC Sawgrass this week, Kim said it will bring back happy memories. “It is very special. I feel THE PLAYERS is a major tournament. When I played here for the first time, it was a very special feeling. K.J. won as the first Korean and I had the next victory. It means a lot to me.
“I’m very proud of the youngest title, especially when it’s hard to do that at my age. I hope nobody breaks my record and I want my name to be remembered as a household name for golfers,” said Kim.
His journey to the PGA TOUR began at just eight years old, when his father, Du Ryu Kim, took him to the driving range in Seoul. Kim was instantly hooked as he tried to hit golf balls toward the pin flags.
“My father was a single handicap golfer and got me interested. When you see the flag as the target, I found it interesting to try to hit the flag. From there on, I knew I wanted to play on the PGA TOUR like Tiger (Woods) and K.J.,” said Kim.
Du Ryu added: “Every time I went to the range, he wanted to go with me. Si Woo was passionate about golf.”
As an amateur, Kim won the Korean Junior Championship four years in a row and made the national team when he was 16. From there his talents grew quickly, and he qualified for the PGA TOUR at 17 years, 5 months, 6 days old, becoming the youngest to graduate from the TOUR’s Qualifying School in 2012. However, he couldn’t become a full member until he turned 18.
He then played on the Korn Ferry Tour for two seasons and learned the ropes quickly. “The courses were not easy and players play aggressively, and you have to be 5-under to make the cut. It was hard for me at first to play like that as my usual score was around 2-under. Gradually I adjusted and learned and won in 2015 (Stonebrae Classic) and then got on the PGA TOUR in 2016,” he said.
He won in his rookie PGA TOUR season at the Wyndham Championship and then claimed a memorable victory at THE PLAYERS the following year, which was made famous for his driver of the deck shot on the 11th hole during the final round. Also, he recalled nearly withdrawing before the start of the final round.
“My back tightened up after the third round. Thirty minutes before I teed off (in the final day), I had a little bit of a muscle problem in my back, so my physiotherapist helped ease the pain. It was still there but I didn’t feel it because of the pressure of the event,” recalled Kim.
“The last three holes have hazards and I had so much pressure even though I was leading comfortably. It was only after the second shot on 18 that I finally felt I could win. I’ve never felt so nerve-racking.”
With three career victories to his name, Kim sits only behind Choi, who has eight wins, as the Korean with the second-most number of titles. He hopes to keep enjoying the game as much as he can to secure more silverware.
“I got back into the winner’s circle after three years and eight months. After my last win at THE PLAYERS, I thought I could win more easily but I couldn’t do well and I had a difficult time and went through some disappointments. That was hard for me,” said Kim.
“With this latest win, I hope I can overcome whatever obstacles ahead of me, and now that I have some momentum, I will try and do well again. I just want to keep going out and enjoying my game and playing golf. I think the next win will come naturally,” said Kim.

Peas are a great nitrogen fixing crop option that can improve soil health. Growing peas allows a grower to introduce different herbicide groups into their herbicide rotation plan. FBN® is well positioned to support your field pea crop in western Canada.
Let’s look at four ways to get to get the most out of your field pea crop this year:
Rather than relying on using refined nitrogen in peas, inoculants are a great tool to promote nodulation and as a result nitrogen fixation. Inoculants can be applied as a liquid or peat product directly on seed or alternatively granular inoculants can be applied in furrow during planting.
FBN offers several Liquid and Granular Inoculants to fit most needs, maximizing inoculation, and ensuring N fixation.
Rolling peas after planting helps bury rocks and provides a uniform seedbed aiding with plant establishment and helps prepare the field for harvest.
Season-long weed control in peas can be challenging, so using a residual product can help improve extend efficacy.
Benz combines two effective modes of action: Imazamox (group 2) and Bentazon (Group 6) and provides contact as well as residual control on many weeds in Field Peas.
Benz offers broadleaf and grass weed control in Field peas and has equivalent or higher efficiency comparable to other commercial products.
Benz provides great control of Volunteer Canola (all types) and All (even herbicide resistant) Wild Mustard, as well as control of Cleavers and Kochia and suppression of Wild Buckwheat
For best grassy weed control in peas, applying a tank mix of Pro Ag UAN 28-0-0 with Benz is recommended.
Available in 2 x 8.1L Cases or 129.6 L Drums, and can be purchased with Pro Ag UAN 28-0-0 from FBN to complete the package.
Augmenting fertility if required, and providing micronutrients that help support plant health and alleviate post herbicide application stress, Afterburner 3-15-15 + Mg helps plants quickly recover from herbicide application.
B Sure is a proven biostimulant that helps the pea plant in abiotic conditions. From moisture stress to hail, frost or herbicide application, B Sure is a very effective product to support plant productivity.
There are multiple tools available to help manage and mitigate anticipated disease pressure in peas. FBN offers effective pulse fungicides that control the most damaging diseases in peas, while maximizing a growers ROI potential. Sharda Fungtion SC, Preach Fungicide, are key strobiluron’s to control key pulse diseases such as Aschocyta and Anthracnose.

This session aimed to generate discussions on different experiences of infrastructure development that addresses climate change in cities. It paid particular attention to new transportation “corridor” development, which has increasingly become popular as a way to redesign the rapidly growing city to reduce traffic congestions and thereby carbon emissions, promote affordable public transportation system, and to make public green spaces accessible for all the citizens. However, it is known that it significantly affects ways that urban land is used, accessed and governed by local communities. The session explored how the corridor development should address social equity and inclusion.
- Problem of scale: Infrastructure planning for sustainable and resilient city making needs to weigh the difference between intervention for the city as a whole and for vulnerable populations within the city.
- Timing of public participation: By now we all know that participatory infrastructure planning is important but the question of when this participation should take place the most effectively remains elusive. In particular, when large-scale infrastructure project decides to marginalize or even demolish one part of the city, affected citizens are always informed after such a decision is made – to agree on remedies such as compensation. Why don’t citizens participate from the design of infrastructure and urban spaces?
- Long term engagement: Considering the importance of temporalities and mobilities of urban dwellers, long-term observation and engagement by researchers, the government and civil society organizations must be envisioned.
- Building synergies between different infrastructures: We need more research to understand tradeoffs between different, old and new, or green and transport infrastructures. Even though infrastructure planning increasingly talks about climate change mitigation and/or adaptation, one infrastructure often undermines another infrastructure and space’s sustainability potential.
Sustainable corridors for all?
Kei Otsuki, International Development Studies, Utrecht University
In this introduction, the rationale of the panel was explained, drawing from a research project on a Bus Rapid Transit system in São Paulo, Brazil. The major question is how climate change concerns led to new transportation infrastructure planning in many cities while this is leading to proliferation of displacement. Communities and citizens increasingly demands alternative planning against the major infrastructure planning, which remains to be largely top-down or involve citizens only after major planning decisions had been made. The panel also aims to seek for the effective alternative planning that citizens take charge of their own, publicly accessible spaces and remain in control in collaboration with planners, investors and other actors.
Mobility justice in the face of the development corridor paradigm: Insights from the Kampala-Jinja Highway, Uganda
Ian Plekker, International Development Studies, Utrecht University
“The important question is how to establish a relationship between micro-scale everyday mobilities of people and large-scale infrastructure that aims to engineer mobilities in the city”
This presentation outlined three case studies of communities facing displacement in Kampala, Uganda due to the Kampala-Jinja Highway development. It highlighted differences that exist within each community to deal with changed mobilities/immobilities while from outside what communities faced seemed to be similar. In addition, the effects of gentrification through displacement and likely chains of displacement were observed. The implications of this finding are that it is important to incorporate intra-community mobilities and livelihoods and consider community participation in designing and governing urban spaces more seriously.
Assessment of Tejgaon old airport accessibility using Space Syntax: A part of proposed Green Network of Dhaka city, Bangladesh
Gourab Kundu, Department of Architecture, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangladesh
“‘Old airport, Tejgaon’ has high potential to become a successful urban park, and this could be an important part of Dhaka’s green corridor. However, for building a successful urban open space proper land governance should be ensured. Otherwise the concept of green corridor will be non-functional.”
Using Space Syntax methods, the presentation showed some scenarios of Dakha’s Tejgaon old airport’s possibilities to become a large public green space. The simulation shows the high potential. However, in reality, there are conflicting interests that do not allow this potential to become fully realized. More institutional improvements and policies that address land governance are necessary.
Building climate resilient communities through Water Sensitive public space design and activation: Public parks program in Bucaramanga, Colombia
Raul Marino, Faculty of International, Political and Urban Studies, Universidad del Rosario, Bogotá, Colombia
“Green infrastructure is an effective method of climate change adaptation in cities. But this is only successful when communities are involved in reclaiming the space and maintain the infrastructure.”
Drawing on three cases of green infrastructure and technology in the city of Bucaramanga in western Colombia, the presentation emphasized the importance of understanding infrastructure planning in relation to urban ecosystem, especially water flow. The importance of community participation in all the process of infrastructure planning from the design stage to the maintenance of the provided infrastructure is discussed.

The perfect British Summer’s day involves temperatures of 23ºC, a barbecue, an ice cold soft drink and a trip to the beach with family, a new study has revealed.
The research by the Old Mill in Brighouse has revealed a survey carried out among 1,500 Brits also found it is likely to involve a dip in the sea and the smell of freshly cut grass.
One in five Brits cited sitting in a beer garden with an ice cold drink as a must on a summer’s day.
But despite the recent blast of warm weather the study, commissioned by the Chef and Brewer pub on Wakefield Road, found a third of Brits are only expecting to get the barbecue out once this year in total.
Fiona Beck, general manager at Old Mill, said: “The sights, sounds and scents of summer help to bring back happy childhood memories of trips to the seaside or picnics and ballgames in the park.
“It’s also great to see a trip to the beer garden was a top choice for many when the sun is shining - and it’s one we can definitely agree with.”
Other top summer pastimes include going for walks in the country (19 per cent) and catching up with friends and family (10 per cent). Unsurprisingly, sunbathing (eight per cent) also made the list as did unlikely activities for a summer’s day including shopping and staying in bed.
Food-wise the results show we all like to tuck into strawberries and cream (19 per cent), ice creams (17 per cent) and salads (18 per cent) when the weather is warm.

Evidence from multiple contexts suggests that the Graduation Approach, which provides holistic livelihood support for ultra-poor households, has lasting positive impacts on a range of outcomes. However, graduation programs are relatively expensive because of the intense level of support they offer. The costs pose a challenge for governments that want to implement the approach at scale. More research to disentangle which particular components drive the program impact could help implementers design less expensive, more cost-effective models. In Uganda, researchers working with Innovations for Poverty Action are conducting a randomized evaluation to better understand the effectiveness of several variants of a graduation program focused on improving nutrition and self-reliance among populations in and around a refugee settlement.

Honey Mustard Glazed Acorn Squash
We are inspired by Sara Moulton to vary our roasted acorn squash
recipe, which is sweetly filled with maple syrup and brown sugar, to an interesting honey and Dijon mustard filling. The combination of the sweet and savory is delicious with this tender winter squash, and perfect for those who do not want a very sweet side dish.
salt & pepper
We preheat the oven to 425° F.
We rinse and pat dry the squash. Carefully, we halve crosswise, and then place flesh-side down on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
We cook for 30 minutes and, with tongs, remove from the oven to our cutting board. We scoop out and discard the seeds. We remove the stem on one of the halves so that both pieces are level. We divide the glaze ingredients in the two halves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. We continue to cook for another 30 minutes until tender.
We serve the squash halves whole, filled with the yummy glaze.

Aladdin Sane 50 Years Book
About this piece: The definitive celebration of the iconic album and music’s most famous photograph – with unseen images
On the 19th of April 1973, the Aladdin Sane album was released to critical acclaim. The music speaks for itself but rarely has a portrait on an album cover become the definitive image of one man. Rarely has an image become known as a cultural icon (as quoted by the V&A) or popularly known as the ‘Mona Lisa of Pop’. Thousands of words have been written on the image, numerous interpretations of the pool of liquid on David Bowie’s collarbone and the lighting flash has been replicated ad infinitum. For the 50th anniversary, this book is written in celebration of this iconic image of David Bowie. Half a century after the album’s release this image is still controversial, fresh, challenging, beautiful and ethereal. One never tires of its simplicity and boldness. Join us in celebrating this unique photo session.
Fifty years after the iconic Aladdin Sane photo session was shot by photographer Duffy, this book is released to celebrate the anniversary. The book contains previously unseen photographs from the iconic Aladdin Sane cover shoot which have never been seen anywhere before now, fifty years since they were taken. A QR code within the book will take you to a page where more images, video interviews, news and information will be added and updated. We welcome participation from readers and fans to share their stories in celebration and memory of this defining album.
Alongside Duffy’s incredible photographs are essays on Bowie’s remarkable album and the story behind the famous cover itself. Edited by Chris Duffy and includes essays by renowned writers and Bowie experts Paul Morley, Charles Shaar Murray, Nicholas Pegg, Kevin Cann, Jérôme Soligny and Geoffrey Marsh – curator of the V&A’s record-breaking David Bowie Is exhibition.
In a breathtaking package designed by long-time Bowie collaborators Barnbrook creative studio, the book pays tribute to a seminal album and an image that will live forever more in rock ‘n’ roll history.

Recap: Honeyboy Edwards at Colony Theatre, February 21
Honeyboy Edwards signing autographs.
Honeyboy Edwards destroyed a sold out house at Miami Beach's Colony Theatre last Saturday night with a set so full of Delta you could feel it in your bones. The 94-year-old Edwards, who just won 2010's Life Time Achievement Award at the Grammys, played with backing by Steve Arvey on second guitar, and Michael Frank on harmonica.
After the show, Honeyboy sat a table in the lobby, signed autographs, and took photos with fans, and girls on his lap, as Michael Frank and Steve Arvey sold merch. When the crowd thinned out, we said, "Dude, that was fuckin' awesome." Honeyboy told us "I been doin this a long time. Some nights it's good, some nights it's not. Sometimes it sound good, sometimes it don't. The music....It's a feeling....it's a feeling."

I've spent my entire life as a student of music. I know what it's like to start from scratch and the 'one size fits all' approach doeasnt work. My goal is to take you from where you at and help you improve! The goals of my time with a student are all different because everyone is different.
I thoroughly enjoy helping students improve. Whether its seeing a student come to me needing help preparing for an audition and then they nail it, or if its a new student that needs to know how to improve and after weeks and months working together they notice an improvment in their playing, it's the best feeling!
There are no reviews yet
When I meet with a new student I usually ask them to play something so I can see where they are at currently. Next I want to discuss with them their goals and how I can help them achieve those on their instrument.

Conventional wisdom tells businesses to turn to bank loans and overdrafts to handle cash flow speed bumps. Increasingly we're seeing that wisdom needing to be challenged. The RBNZ March 2021 credit availability survey showed a significant reduction in banks tolerance to risk. Put together with calls for greater LVR restrictions and there could be significant shifts in how banks respond to businesses that need a finance facility.
Invoice Finance is very different. We treat invoices like assets. They can be borrowed against with no additional security. Many business owners value not having to offer their personal assets as security.
At Lock Finance, we want to help entrepreneurs succeed. We spend time getting to know our client's and their business. We offer tips on how to improve cash flow. We invest in building trusted relationships with our clients. This allows us to deliver a responsive service that meets business growth needs. This is especially useful if you are growing fast, have secured a new contract or have a seasonal element to your business.
If you’re planning for growth, getting a scalable working capital solution is key. We’ve helped many successful NZ businesses grow without putting personal assets at risk.
Recently we worked with a frozen food company on the cusp of high growth. They were about to start selling to one of New Zealand's major supermarkets. Their revenue was $1.5M and their bank approved an $80K overdraft facility.
They couldn't buy enough materials to satisfy the order volume. Their accountant referred them to us, to solve their growth cash flow problem.
We immediately provided an invoice finance facility of $150K based on their invoice assets. We were also able to offer them a further $100K once they started selling into the supermarkets.
They were able to effectively double their access to cash for growth. This meant less stress meeting payroll and supplier payments. Pretty good in an environment where banks can take weeks to approve applications, and expect the keys to your house before saying yes.
Our clients are often surprised when they analyse the cost of a bank overdraft versus invoice financing. Especially when they realise what having access to more cash immediately would allow them to achieve.
If you would like to hear more about how you can unlock working capital from your unpaid invoices, feel free to call 027 476 4297, or email email@example.com.

You’ve seen the film, know the soundtrack off by heart and have snapped up the dresses and dolls – but your little ones still can’t get enough.
Ten months after the release of Disney’s Frozen – the highest-grossing animation in history – the magical movie shows no sign of releasing its icy grip.
And Leeds is embracing the Frozen frenzy, with at least six sing-a-long screenings plus various other Elsa and Anna themed events between now and Christmas.
Event organisers from across the city agree demand for anything relating to the hit film, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, is unprecedented.
City Varieties sold more than 1,000 tickets to its sell-out November Sing-a-long-a Frozen screening within a week of them going on sale.
A spokeswoman said: “This is by far the fastest selling “Sing-a-long-a” production we’ve had.”
Leeds pop-up cinema company Sneaky Experience is showing the wintry treat at Leeds Dock and Ilkley Film Festival in December, and it features TWICE in Leeds Town Hall’s Christmas Film Festival.
Leeds Dock is hoping its two screenings, along with guest appearances from the beloved sisters and Olaf the snowman, will sparkle as brightly as its summer gathering which attracted 500 Frozen fans.
Baby Rave North, which runs regular children’s parties in Leeds, has struggled to keep up with demand for activities themed around the musical movie.
Founder Faye Kenny said: “I did five over the summer and they all got booked up within two days so I added another.
“I couldn’t fit in anymore and my emails about it were solid. People are obsessed with it.”
She is planning special events at Leeds Corn Exchange throughout December, including dance workshops to Oscar-winning Frozen track Let it Go and a festive “breakfast with Elsa”.
Half the children’s parties held at popular family venue The Woods in Chapel Allerton are now Frozen-themed.
And it is holding a free screening, with crafts and activities, on October 15 from 10am to noon – with a prize for the best-dressed princess.
Emma Barker, manager of the Disney Store at White Rose Shopping Centre, said demand for Frozen dresses was insane.
She said: “We get a delivery of over 100 dresses three times a week and they sell out every day.
“Rapunzel was big for us but that was nothing compared to this.”

UK - Financial statement rules may be amended to clarify pension scheme liabilities.
The Accounting Standards Board has asked the Pensions Research Accountants Group to look at whether scheme actuarial liabilities should be included in financial statements.
PRAG aims to find out whether excluding actuarial liabilities is consistent with FRS12, which deals with current liabilities and contingent liabilities, and whether it is consistent with FRS17.
Current practice – included in the ASB statement of recommended practice’s Financial Reports of Pension Scheme for which PRAG is responsible – makes no reference to the issue, even though a revised version was introduced at the end of last month.
PRAG’s statement of recommended practice revision working party secretary Jo Rodgers said: “Pension schemes – and in particular their funding positions – are increasingly in the spotlight.
“The challenge presented by this consultation paper is to see if there are ways of giving the readers of pension scheme financial statements better information on the liabilities of the scheme, without sacrificing the clarity and simplicity of the current format of pension scheme financial statements.” PRAG’s consultation will close on February 28 – the results of the exercise will be published in the second quarter of this year on the website www.prag.org.uk.
PwC, KPMG, EY and Deloitte must break up their consultancy and audit businesses into distinct firms to provide greater focus on the "most challenging and objective audits", the competition watchdog has said.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PURIFYING CONTAMINATED SOIL USING SUBCRITICAL WATER


Who is AFX
AFX Manufacturing was conceived by Shaun Richerson, former Andreae Team, Inc. Production Manager and machinist from 1996-2015. When the Swiss owned company, under new management, took measures to close the U.S. factory and move production to Canada in 2016, Shaun committed to build a better baffle and bring the production of accordion overspray collection filters back home to the U.S.A.
Shaun Richerson, Mechanical Maniac
Shaun has since redesigned and built a sleek, more efficient machine, assembled an experienced production crew, and enlisted the help of his former Andreae colleagues. Today, AFX Manufacturing is one of only six manufacturers in the world that produce accordion-style paint arrestors and proud to be the first and only American owned and operated manufacturer of accordion filters.
