How much is an old missile silo?
2 Cold War-era nuclear missile silos that sat abandoned for decades went on sale in Arizona for $495,000 each. One just sold for more than asking price, while the other took a $20,000 price cut. Two decommissioned missile silos were for sale in southern Arizona, and one sold for $500,000.
Are missile silos reusable?
The United States built many missile silos in the Midwest, away from populated areas. Many were built in Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Today they are still used, although many have been decommissioned and hazardous materials removed.
How many abandoned missile silos are there in the US?
Leftover traces of the approximately 265 Nike missile bases can still be seen around cities across the United States. As the sites were decommissioned they were first offered to federal agencies. Many were already on Army National Guard bases who continued to use the property.
Do people live in missile silos?
Enjoy your lengthy stay in this underground survival condo. A developer in Kansas has turned a nuclear missile silo into a luxury survival condo. The underground complex stretches 185 feet underground and is built to house more than six dozen people.
How deep is a missile silo?
The missile silo is a huge structure with a 52′ inside diameter and is approximately 180′ deep.
How many Minuteman missiles are left?
The Minuteman first became operational in 1962; over fifty years later, 400 Minuteman III ICBM’s are still on alert today.
How did they build missile silos?
A number of the Minuteman Launch Facilities were constructed using the same procedures. Army Corps engineers excavated a circular cut down to 34 feet. Once the silo liner was aligned, concrete was then pumped around it to form the external missile silo wall.
Where are the US nuke silos?
More than half of the potential arsenal is in Amarillo, Texas, at the Pantex plant, which will dismantle them. There do remain some active missile silos, in Montana, North Dakota, and at Warren Air Force Base, which is in both Colorado and Wyoming.
How many Titan 1 missile silos were there?
Each complex consisted of three missile silos controlled by a single launch center and supported by a network of underground fuel storage tanks, equipment terminal, antennas, and connecting tunnels.
What does Nike missile stand for?
Nike, named for the mythical Greek goddess of victory, was the name given to a program which ultimately produced the world’s first successful, widely-deployed, guided surface-to-air missile system.
Are Titan missiles still active?
The Titan IVB was the last Titan rocket to remain in service, making its penultimate launch from Cape Canaveral on 30 April 2005, followed by its final launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base on 19 October 2005, carrying the USA-186 optical imaging satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
Are there missile silos in California?
It is now owned by the CA Civilian Conservation Corps. Although long removed from its original purpose, much remains intact and can be seen from the road. Many buildings are still standing, and one of the covers of the missile silo is opened.
Does the US still have land based ICBMs?
Land – based ICBMs The U.S. Air Force currently operates 400 Minuteman III ICBMs, located primarily in the northern Rocky Mountain states and the Dakotas.

17 Dec Best Mental Health Resources for Children
As parents, it can be difficult to know how to best support our children when it comes to their mental health. There are so many resources out there that can provide guidance, support and advice. In this blog post, we will look at the best mental health resources for children that can help them thrive.
Mental health resources are necessary for children because mental health is an important aspect of overall well-being.
Are Mental Health Resources for Children Important?
Children and adolescents may experience a range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and behaviour problems, which can affect their ability to function in school, at home, and in their relationships with others.
Mental health resources can help children and adolescents learn coping skills, manage their emotions, and develop healthy habits that support their well-being.
These resources can also provide a sense of community and support, which can be particularly important for children who may be struggling with mental health issues or who are going through difficult life events.
In addition, mental health resources can help children and adolescents access appropriate treatment for mental health issues. Treatment, which may include talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both, can be very effective in helping children and adolescents manage their mental health and improve their overall well-being.
Overall, mental health resources are important for children because they can support children’s mental health and well-being, help them develop healthy coping skills, and provide access to appropriate treatment when needed.
It is essential for children to have access to these resources to help them cope with the challenges of growing up and to support their overall well-being. Here are some specific resources that may be helpful for children and their families:
- Treating Children For Mental Health Disorders
- Externalizing Mental Health Disorder: What They Are
- Types Of Mental Health Professionals You Should Know
Professional Mental Health Services
Finding a mental health professional, such as a therapist or psychiatrist, can be an important resource for children. These professionals are trained to help children and adolescents with mental health issues and can provide a range of treatments, including talk therapy and medication.
Many mental health professionals work in private practice, while others may be affiliated with hospitals, clinics, or community health centres. To find a mental health professional, you can ask your primary care doctor for a referral, search online directories, or contact your insurance company for a list of providers.
Support Groups and Peer Support
Support groups can be a helpful resource for children, particularly if they struggle with a specific mental health issue or condition. These groups bring together individuals with similar experiences and can provide a sense of community and support.
Some support groups are led by mental health professionals, while others are run by peers or volunteers. You can find support groups through mental health organizations, community centres, or online resources.
Online and Phone Hotlines
There are a number of online and phone resources available for children and adolescents seeking support for mental health issues. These resources can be particularly helpful for those who may not have access to in-person mental health services or who prefer to seek help anonymously.
Some examples of online resources include Crisis Text Line (https://www.crisistextline.org/) and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/). Phone hotlines, such as the National Hopeline Network (1-800-SUICIDE) and the SAMHSA National Helpline (1-800-662-HELP) can also provide support and referrals to local resources.
Many schools have mental health resources available for students, including counselling services and support programs. These resources can be valuable resources for children and adolescents who may be struggling with mental health issues or who just need someone to talk to.
You can contact your child’s school to learn about the mental health resources that are available. Schools may also have resources for parents and caregivers, including information on how to recognize signs of mental health issues and where to seek help.
- Mental Health Disorders Perception In Society
- Mental Health Disorders And Suicide: The Startling Link
- How Many People Suffer Mental Health Disorders Yearly?
Local community centres, libraries, and other organizations may have resources available for children and adolescents seeking support for psychological issues. These resources may include support groups, counselling services, and other types of assistance.
You can contact your local community centre or library to learn about the resources that are available in your area. You can also search online directories or contact your insurance company for a list of local mental health providers.
Overall, it’s important to remember that seeking help is a sign of strength and that mental health treatment can be very effective. If you or a child you know is struggling with mental health issues, don’t hesitate to reach out for help.

The Malaysian Health Coalition is dissatisfied with the meager 1.5% increase in the allocation for the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Budget 2022.
The RM32.4 billion allocation remains inadequate even if we include the additional RM2 billion allocation for COVID-19 equipment and consumables and RM6 billion for vaccines.
We urge greater spending to manage an endemic COVID-19 while simultaneously strengthening our public healthcare system for non-COVID-19 care like non-communicable diseases (NCDs), an aging population and routine maternal and child health.
We stress that this Health Budget is not expansionary (as proposed by us on 20 Oct 2021), but the contrary.
Therefore, we urge the following:
1. Increase the allocation to the public healthcare system
Budget 2022 must be the first budget that overinvests in our healthcare system to compensate for decades of underinvestment.
This will enable our public healthcare system to cope with amplified responsibilities without jeopardizing quality of care.
We note that Budget 2021 provides a 4% increase versus 2020, while Budget 2022 only provides a 1.5% increase over 2021.
The increase in mental health allocation is also not proportional to the rise in mental health issues caused by COVID-19 stressors.
It remains lower than upper middle-income and high-income countries which spend 1.6% and 3.8% of government health expenditure on mental health respectively.
This sets a dangerous precedent and a backwards trajectory which may prevent us from building a robust public health infrastructure as imagined in the 12th Malaysia Plan and as required by a larger, older and sicker population.
Finally, we insist on greater accountability, monitoring and scrutiny to avoid fraud, wastage, corruption and abuse.
2. Focus on durable strategies for long-term health development
The Budget proposes many temporary stopgap measures that must be part of longer-term strategies.
We highlight two examples. Firstly, while social provisions and cash transfer allocations for older adults in Budget 2021 are necessary, there must be a change in philosophy to encourage older adults to have more active participation in their own health.
Without active participation, even exponential increases in the social care budget for the elderly will create the reality or perception that older people are constantly dependent on support.
Secondly, the allocation of RM100 million for doctors, dentists and pharmacists to pursue specialist training is welcome, but must be accompanied with an increase in permanent posts.
This lack of long-term solutions may cause dissatisfaction among healthcare professionals, and there is already the possibility of a second strike by healthcare professionals.
We propose additional investment in district hospitals and the Cluster Hospital system to create more permanent and training positions for House Officers and specialist trainees and to redistribute staff.
This can retain specialists in the public healthcare system and train more doctors and health professionals for the future.
3. Emphasize the social determinants of health
Budget 2022 has a clear allocation to MOH to deliver healthcare, but there must be an equal emphasis on the social determinants of health delivered by non-MOH agencies.
We highlight two examples. Firstly, there must be more expenditure on the non-healthcare determinants of health such as health literacy, living and working conditions, adequate income and wage, food security and physical activity.
This can be achieved through investment in public health services and engagement with various stakeholders such as other ministries and community leaders to form a ‘whole of society’ approach.
Secondly, we object to the excise duty that has been imposed on vaping and e-cigarettes. This is as though we are approving vaping and e-cigarettes in Malaysia, which were previously not explicitly approved or explicitly banned.
We propose an outright ban on vaping and e-cigarettes in Malaysia, while increasing tobacco control including passing a Tobacco Control Act.
4. Address missed opportunities
The lessons from COVID-19 pandemic allows us to rethink the structure and components of our healthcare system and lay the groundwork for long-term health reform.
We underscore three significant missed opportunities.
First, we must emphasize telemedicine, automation and digitizing healthcare. This requires smart regulations that protect patients, help health professionals and promote innovation.
Second, we must strengthen primary care, especially for the 8,000 private General Practitioners (GPs), 3,000 community pharmacies and the thousands of allied health professionals like nutritionists, optometrists and physiotherapists.
They play a crucial and under-appreciated role in our healthcare system through disease prevention, vaccinations, screening and health promotion.
Third, we recommend the gradual introduction of compulsory social health insurance (SHI) to reduce the high out-of-pocket costs of ordinary Malaysians.
As we enter the third year of COVID-19, Malaysia must not miss the opportunity to build a robust and resilient healthcare infrastructure.
More Malaysians are poorer after COVID-19, and this makes them more likely to use public healthcare facilities, which makes it crucial for us to overinvest in our public healthcare system.
Budget 2022 must overinvest in health while focusing on long-term strategies by tying Budget 2022 to RMK-12 strategies, Budgets 2023 and beyond.

The truth about plastic bags
Responding to a June 20 letter to the editor ("It's time to sack plastic bags," Auburn Reporter), which expressed commonly misguided rationale for banning plastic bags.
These justifications are misconceptions of environmental issues surrounding plastic bags – largely based on junk science. The truth is plastic retail bags are the best environmental option at the checkout.
Environmental studies have proven that plastic grocery bags are simply not a major contributor to litter, across the United States. In fact, plastic bags make up less than 0.5 percent of the municipal waste stream and traditionally a fraction of 1 percent of litter in most cities.
Banning plastic bags forces consumers to options that increase greenhouse gas levels in our atmosphere. The process required to manufacture and distribute reusable bags is energy intensive and puts more carbon in the air than the process for plastic bags. American-made plastic bags are produced from natural gas, are 100-percent recyclable and emit far fewer greenhouse gases in their production.
Although many believe reusable bags are more environmentally friendly, a recent Edelman Berland study found that shoppers routinely forget them at home and use them far less frequently than intended. These bags pose health hazards as breeding grounds for bacteria, especially when consumers admittedly never clean them. Approximately 16.4 million Americans bring reusable bags into grocery stores each week that have never been cleaned.
If Auburn were to focus on recycling plastic bags as opposed to banning them, we could promote environmental stewardship while avoiding the undesirable path of regulation.

The first movement of the C major, No 50—probably the last of Haydn’s sonatas—is a ne plus ultra of thematic concentration, a brilliant, extrovert counterpart to the strenuous ‘Fifths’ Quartet, Op 76 No 2. It opens with a bald, staccato theme, virtually unharmonized and typically irregular in phrase structure—a vision of dry bones. Haydn immediately repeats and elaborates the theme, initially with full, rolling chords (presaging the orchestral style of much of the writing), then with hints of two-part counterpoint that will have significant consequences later. This single fertile idea reappears, contrapuntally enriched, as a ‘second subject’ (with the theme initially in the bass), and is treated with endless resource in the harmonically breathtaking development. The development’s climax comes with the famous ‘open pedal’ passage, where the once-bare theme is transformed into something rich and strange in the remote key of A flat. What Haydn seems to have envisaged here was not the sustaining pedal, as is sometimes assumed, but the una corda (i.e. soft) pedal available on the new Broadwood instruments but rarely found on contemporary Continental pianos. In the recapitulation the theme attains its lyrical apotheosis with another, more extended ‘open pedal’ passage, now ethereal rather than darkly mysterious.
After a poetically embellished, quasi-improvisatory Adagio in F—a rhapsodic meditation such as we find in many of the late piano trios—the finale is a candidate for the most subversively comic piece that even Haydn ever wrote. A scherzo in all but name, it continually baffles with its lopsided phrases (the quirky main theme consists of five plus two bars), outrageous sudden silences and disorienting feints to absurdly remote keys that, unlike Haydn’s usual practice, remain arbitrary and unexplained to the end.

The Fly Trap
June 09, 2015
Swedish entomologist Fredrik Sjöberg shares ruminations born from a life spent collecting, cataloging, and studying one very specific creature.
“What is the book about?”
This question is so common even among us readers who should know better than to ask something so impossible. Because what a book is about can depend on (among other things) who you are and which pieces of the text happen to reverberate in your mind after you’ve read them. And even from an objective point of view, a book’s subject matter can vary in importance. Good books can remove the burden of engagement from the subject matter and move it to the author’s voice and persona. That a book is written about a reader’s key topic of interest sometimes can’t compensate for a poorly-planned story with an uninspired voice. Conversely, a book about something so seemingly alien and boring can turn out to be a treasure, thanks to a writer’s capacity to engage and entertain.
I am not particularly interested in reading about flies. If a person were ask me, “are you into flies?” I would probably shrug or reply, “I don’t know”—neither a confirmation or denial. Flies are things that most people, most of the time, simply ignore. That Fredrik Sjöberg’s The Fly Trap is about flies is, for many readers, not an easily dismissible fact. “A book about flies? No thanks.” In fact, if you cruise on over to Goodreads, you’ll find exactly that: “If you are not interested in flies...don't read it,” says one reviewer. At the risk of leading readers astray, I’m going to counter the conventional wisdom and say that if you are not particularly interested in flies, you may still be interested in The Fly Trap.
Sjöberg demonstrates very well the importance of voice in writing and how good writers can write about anything and still captivate an audience. Written by a man who made his living in studying hoverflies, The Fly Trap is composed of eighteen brief chapters—each a compact essay. Some of these essay-chapters compliment others, and of course there are some topics that arise repeatedly. Of course he talks about flies, but then he also touches often on less concrete topics like the practice of cataloging (Sjöberg borrows Strindberg’s term “buttonology”), solitude, and then of course some people—mainly naturalists who play as precursors to Sjöberg’s own work in entomology, but who also have fascinating stories from which Sjöberg manages to extract deep insights.
The Fly Trap devotes quite a few pages to the entomologist René Malaise, an object of near-obsession for Sjöberg. By way of Malaise’s story, The Fly Trap demonstrates the nuance of discovery and success. Malaise travels to Kamchatka and stays for years, with few documents to show for his adventures abroad. According to Sjöberg’s findings, Malaise’s adventures prove to be broad in every sense of the word. What he’s known for today is an expertise in sawflies and a very effective fly trap that now bears his name. “There was something about him that was boundless,” Sjöberg writes. And perhaps therein lies the analog to our author—a man of more than simply flies, who also proves with this journal that his success and his modest enigma are a product not of only excelling at the buttonology of hover flies, but rather a product of being a curious and worldly man.
One of the book’s most compelling chapters is simply titled “Slowness”—another borrowed phrase, this from novelist Milan Kundera. In the chapter, Sjöberg shares anecdotes from his life during the tourist seasons on his home island Runmarö. He writes first, “People talk faster, eat faster, change opinions more often, experience more stress, while at the same time the whole world is being transformed at a breakneck pace.” But then proceeds to contrast the pros and cons of slowness and speed: “If everything just got slower and slower, we’d all go pretty much nuts and beg for speed with a sincerity that the preachers of slowness never come close to.” Slowness is a luxury afforded him by nature. It is neither good nor bad, but simply something certain people can attain and live within. Sjöberg next very cleverly begins a digression into Kundera’s novel. This lasts pages, and just before closing the chapter, our author wakes: “Where was I—of course, slowness.” Of course!
While The Fly Trap is definitely the musings of a fly enthusiast, it could also simply be called the diary of a clever and worldly man. In his own words:
Anyways, the hoverflies are only props. No, not only, but to some extent. Here and there, my story is about something else. Exactly what, I don’t know. Some days I tell myself that my mission is to say something about the art and sometimes the bliss of limitation. And the legibility of landscape.
Throughout the book’s eighteen chapters, The Fly Trap time and again offers grin-inducing epiphanies and a calmly optimistic perspective on the world of today. Sjöberg’s book turns the world of flies into a microcosm through which virtually anything else can be considered. The Fly Trap is certainly about flies, but it is also about everything else, from reading D.H. Lawrence to air travel to art collecting. And it is lovely.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Use a concentration of 1 - 5 µg/ml. Predicted molecular weight: 80 kDa.
Use a concentration of 10 µg/ml.
Use a concentration of 5 µg/ml.
Use 1µg for 106 cells. ab170192-Mouse monoclonal IgG2b, is suitable for use as an isotype control with this antibody.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Involved in JUN ubiquitination and degradation. Directly involved in p53 (TP53) ubiquitination and degradation, thereby abolishing p53-dependent transcription and apoptosis. Ubiquitinates p53 independently of MDM2 or RCHY1. Probably mediates E3 ubiquitin ligase activity by functioning as the essential RING domain subunit of larger E3 complexes. In contrast, it does not constitute the catalytic RING subunit in the DCX DET1-COP1 complex that negatively regulates JUN, the ubiquitin ligase activity being mediated by RBX1.
Ubiquitously expressed at low level. Expressed at higher level in testis, placenta, skeletal muscle and heart.
Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Belongs to the COP1 family. Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger. Contains 7 WD repeats.
The RING finger domain, in addition to its role in ubiquitination, functions as a structural scaffold to bring two clusters of positive-charged residues within spatial proximity to mimic a bipartite nuclear localization signal (NLS).
Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm. In the nucleus, it forms nuclear speckles.

Flow Cytometry - Anti-COP1 antibody (ab56400)
Overlay histogram showing NIH3T3 cells stained with ab56400 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab56400, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2b [PLPV219] (ab91366, 2µg/1x106 cells ) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
IHC image of COP1 staining in Human normal heart muscle formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab56400, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Award-winning singer-songwriters T.S. Baker and Craig Werth come to South Berwick on Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. for the third show in the FPFC Concert Series at First Parish Federated Church, 150 Main Street.
Spotlight Award winner T.S. Baker will return to the stage for her first performance in nearly 10 years. Her hiatus came after the release of her much-anticipated 2003 solo debut, Through the Shadows. Dirty Linen called the CD, “A perfect blend of country and folk music with enough of a jolt to send your heart skipping across stars ... [and] enough pop sensibility to rub elbows with Shawn Colvin on Top-40 radio.”
From 1993 through 1997, along with her husband Stan Moeller, Baker released three highly touted CDs. The Boston Globe called the duo, “Incredible ... breaking all the musical molds.” But in the late 90s, Baker decided to concentrate more on songwriting and received plenty of notice for her masterful tunes. She was named a finalist in several national contests, including the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival “New Folk Competition” in both 2000 and 2002. Past finalists have included the likes of Steve Earle, Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Robert Earl Keen, James McMurtry and South Berwick’s own Slaid Cleaves, to name a few.
After three fine, albeit under-the-radar CDs (two solo and one with Guy Capecelatro III), in 2006 Craig Werth garnered the attention of three-time Juno Award winner (Canada’s highest honor for music), David Francey. Werth brought his instrumentation and arranging skills to Francey’s music, helping him to flesh out his songs, which the Toronto Star call, “small and beautifully crafted pieces of work.” Since joining Francey, Werth has toured the world and shared a Juno with him for coproducing Rites of Passage, winner in the best traditional and roots album category.
Because of Werth’s exposure performing with Francey, his own masterful songwriting and instrumental prowess have helped him find a fan-base of his own. His latest record, The Spokes Man, bares witness to these gifts. Canadian folk and roots magazine, Penguin Eggs, said of Werth’s work, “[He] tells stories well, has an eye for the human condition with all its foibles and passions and accompanies himself superbly.”

Turkey to issue complaint to WTO about Russian sanctions
This was reported by the Daily Sabah quoting the Minister of Economy of Turkey, Mustafa Elitas.
According to him, the complaint is pending to be issued to the WTO. The Turkish government has been collecting evidence of violations by Russia of the rules of the organization.
"We will defend the rights of all those affected (due to sanctions), in the international courts," promised Elitas.
The Minister also compared the relationship with Russia with the weather forecast, which promises sometimes sun, sometimes rain and clouds. "Their actions are not consistent with international trade rules," said Elitas, adding that a special body has been set up to receive complaints from Turkish entrepreneurs working with Russian partners. ■

Too intense, too hot, and too fast in hand motions. Both my husband and I left in pain afterward. It felt more like a battle than a relaxing massage. My masseuse kept over massaging one shoulder blade over and over again even after I told her it hurt (to be fair I don't think either masseuse spoke very fluent English) to the point I felt my bone was going to become dislocated and my back felt raw. Also the head massage felt more like fingers poking at me in a seizure like fashion versus a gentle calming motion. Good ginger tea and nice ambiance. Massage needs improvement. Moreover, there was some heated blanket they had under both of us and both my husband and I were sweating profusely from it. Not comfortable. We prefer a less pressured massage with slower gentler motions and no heated blanket. It was very hard to relax. This felt more like a chiropractor visit and less like a relaxing day at the spa. 🤷♀🤦♀🙍
Opted 1hr sports massage. Masseur(Martin) really helped to ease my tension spots. Place is neat n clean.

Chelsea have endured a difficult start to the new English Premier League season but the club's hierarchy is adamant that the Blues still possess the financial muscle to compete with their rivals.
While leaders Manchester City, who hold an 11-point advantage over the defending champions after just five games, had a net expenditure of almost £100 million (S$217 million) in the summer, the West London club had a modest net spend of less than £20 million.
But there is no need to panic and reach for the cheque book yet, Chelsea's managing director for Asia, Adrian New, told The Straits Times yesterday.
"If we needed to go out to spend £70 million to £80 million, we could," he noted, adding that the speculation linking the Blues with Juventus star midfielder Paul Pogba showed the club's ability to compete for the game's biggest names.
"We're strong enough that through our success, we've got the money to do what we need to do."
Evidence from the past two seasons suggests otherwise.
While City and Manchester United have a combined net outlay of more than £250 million, Chelsea have made concerted efforts to balance their books. The last time Chelsea made a blockbuster statement was in 2011 when they paid a club-record £50 million for Spain striker Fernando Torres.
Money certainly plays a role but it does not guarantee trophies, stressed New, one of the panellists at a two-day Sports Matters conference at Marina Bay Sands.
"Without a great manager like Jose (Mourinho), you're still not going to have that success."
There is little reprieve though, as the Portuguese attempts to turn around Chelsea's worst start to a top-flight campaign in almost three decades. They have already racked up three losses, equalling their total tally from last season, and are a lowly 17th in the standings.
Such struggles for the top sides are becoming more commonplace, with more money distributed between the 20 clubs.
And with a record £5.136 billion television deal entering the equation next season, other English clubs are also likely to spend big.
In the recent transfer window, EPL sides splashed a record-breaking £870 million, with United forking out a reported £36.3 million on Anthony Martial.
The club's commercial director Jamie Reigle said such a trend is likely to continue.
"I think it's safe to say that next year, with the start of the new TV deal, not just United but all the Premier League clubs will be spending even more money," he added.

How to fix a slice in golf with Chris Ownbey’s Golf Fitness
The focus on the dreaded SLICE is and will always be the mainstay of golf magazine tips.
Why? 80% of all amateurs have it, and top pros still get it every once in awhile.
To sum it up, most golfers will remain frustrated for years because they never find out why they are slicing a golf ball.
The following realization can go a long way in improving your golf game. It is the simple fact that a golf swing is a very unnatural movement for the body. Because of this the body naturally resists every effort we make towards perfecting our golf swing. Understanding this and taking steps to condition the body to initiate the correct swing sequence will fix your slice in golf with golf fitness and improve any game and lower scores.
Upon first look, this may seem like a mechanical issue, coming over the top, and that it is… but if we take a deeper look we see there is more to it.
The body is required to have certain levels of flexibility, balance, endurance, strength, and power to complete a golf swing. If the body lacks in any of the above categories, then the results will be seen in the golf swing.
You see…the downswing is initiated by the right shoulder driving down which causes the led hip to clear. When we start the downswing with the shoulder’s moving in a rotational manner ( around the body) the sequence will get out order due to compensation to return back to the ball.
There is a way to fix your slice in golf with golf fitness exercises.
The body must be trained to start the downswing in the correct elliptical movement to put the club on the correct path, in spite of the bodies natural tendencies to do otherwise. When you work on your “body”, to get into correct path of the downswing, the golf swing takes care of itself!
Retrain the movement to fix your slice and work your core at the same time.
If you are ever going to stop slicing the golf ball, correcting and training your body in the correct movement pattern is a must. Focus on flexibility, strengthen the core and build power in your leg muscles, so you can drive your torso down through impact, now that we know what the connection is between the “body” try this exercise for a better swing.
Stand in golf posture with right side facing machine. Turn shoulders and reach up and grab handle.
Drive the trail shoulder down while pulling the handle down in to impact position. Slowly return rope to the right by rotating shoulders and torso. Repeat 10x and change sides.
If you do not have a sport specific trainer for golf. This person should be as high on your list of golf improvement as your teaching pro! I say this because if you don’t address your physical limitations, you’ll never be able to do what your golf swing pro tells you to do.
To sum it up, some golfers will remain frustrated for years because they never find out why they are slicing a golf ball.
The following can go a long way in improving your golf game. Realizing this and taking steps to condition the body to initiate the correct downswing sequence so swinging a golf club becomes as natural a movement for the body as possible, is a golf secret that will improve any game and lower scores.
With over 20 years in the golf and fitness industry. Chris Ownbey is more than a Sport Specific Trainer. Chris is a cutting-edge Certified Golf Fitness and motion training specialist who is ahead of the industry with his Golf fitness Program.

Several studies have linked physical activity to improvements in immune health. An extensive review published in the Journal of Sport and Health Science outlined how physical activity and exercise benefit immune system health and function. The authors conducted an extensive review of available evidence on the short- and long-term effects of exercise on the immune system, clinical benefits related to the link between exercise and immune health, the influence of nutrition on the immune response to exercise, and the effect of exercise on immune system aging.
The results found that acute bouts of exercise—less than 60 minutes—enhanced the circulation of immunoglobulins, natural killer (NK) cells, T cells, and other immune cells that play critical roles in the body’s defense against pathogens, and can help reduce inflammation.
An analysis of randomized controlled trials conducted as part of the review also found that people assigned to long-term moderate exercise programs—ranging eight weeks to one year—saw lower incidence and duration of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), with reductions as high as 40-50% among people who were active daily. A similar analysis of results from long term population studies found a 28% reduction in URTI in groups with higher levels of physical activity and fitness.
Join Team Active in getting exercise each day this week. Boost your circulation and create natural killer T cells!

When you get to the heart of it, what really matters is connection.
Our name comes from a phrase that has been passed down from generation to generation: "I love you." It's simple, elegant, and can't be misinterpreted or misused.
That's why we chose the number 138 as our namesake—because it represents something so pure and perfect.
At 138, we believe that when you're connected to yourself and others, life can be so much more fulfilling. That's why we're dedicated to helping people get closer together through wellness, kindness, and empathy.
It all started with a flower delivery service—a way to bring people together in a time of great division and social distancing. But when the lockdown hit, people retired their formal wear for comfort wear. This in turn played a part in further fueling fast fashion—a major contributor to environmental pollution.
So we decided to pivot: instead of flower deliveries, we'd make made-to-order sustainable apparel that's affordable and designed for comfort. Our environmentally friendly clothing is probably the most comfortable tool for spreading love in town!
We believe that true well-being means finding a balance between play, movement, growth, rest, and connection with those around you.

VASES À MONTER
The Sèvres factory produced vases à monter, or vases intended to be fitted with ormolu mounts, beginning in around 1764. The main three forms of such vases assembled into garnitures were tapering cylindrical (of two differing dimensions) and egg-shaped. These finished glazed vases were sold largely to marchand-merciers who then embellished them with mounts. The earlier vases were glazed in solid ground colors, although invoices exist for pieces decorated with green and blue grounds scattered with foliate wreaths centered by roses by 1770.
These vases or goblets cloches bear mounts of one of five basic styles. This indicates in all likelihood that the marchand-merciers who purchased the vases à monter produced their own signature mounts. A complete garniture incorporating a pair of egg-form vases, a pair of small cylindrical and one large cylindrical vase is in the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford (see Linda H. Roth and Clare Le Corbeiller, French Eighteenth Century Porcelain at the Wadsworth Atheneum: The J. Pierpont Morgan Collection, 2000, p 156, fig 74.).
The current pair represent the same form of vases as those in the Wadsworth Atheneum garniture. A three piece garniture including a pair of vases of the same model, with identical mounts, formerly in the collection of Mme. Jules Fribourg, are illustrated in S. Eriksen, Early Neo-Classicism in France, 1974, p. 363, fig 242. Eriksen refers to an identical pair of vases, part of a garniture and bearing the date letter 'q' for 1769, sold in the Erich von Goldschmidt-Rothschild sale, Berlin, 23 March 1931, lot 206. A number of other examples of vases of this model are know. These include:- a pair from the Keck Collection, La Lanterne, Bel Air, California, sold Sotheby's, New York, 5-6 December 1991, lot 225, $24,200; a pair sold Christie's London, 17 June 1987, lot 32 £17,600; another pair, formerly part of a garniture, with apple-green ground was in the collection of the Late Earl of Sefton and sold by Christie's at Croxteth Hall, Liverpool, 17-20 September 1973, lot 908 and again Christie's London, 5 July 1984, lot 13; a three-piece garniture again with apple-green ground were sold from the Jaime Ortiz-Patiño Collection, Sotheby's New York, 20 May 1992, lot 31 ($63,250 including premium); a pair and two garnitures of three, each on solid apple green ground, were sold from Houghton, Christie's London, 8 December 1994, lots 36-38 (£11,500, £26,450 and £32,200, including premium, respectively).

Color and Shades: The Best Combo to Change the Feel of Your Interior
The color you choose for your interior can be a direct reflection of your personality. Modern research has shown that our connection to the colors around us can impact our mental and physical health in a substantial way. That’s why we should become more conscious when it comes to picking up the right tone for our interior. Starting from the wall color to furniture, we make sure everything is customized with right hue and complements each other. But one thing that we often overlook is our window treatments. Mostly we believe that they are designed to offer functional and practical values but they can be aesthetically pleasing as well when featured with the right colors. So, if you are looking forward to creating a special feeling for your space while having a remarkable transformation, then use the color palette as a powerful tool for your window blinds. Let the color and shades create the perfect fashion statement for your home.
Color trends will come and go, but no matter what color tone you choose for your shade, it will never go out of fashion. Yes, some colors may be in fashion at some point of time but in general, we never fall out of love with our favorite colors. Keep in mind that color has a psychological value that can influence your feelings and emotion while creating a valuable sense for your space. To create peace and harmony in your home, choose your window shade colors wisely. In this article, we will show you how to add color with window shades and how to choose a particular shade tone!
How to Choose the Right Color for Window Shades?
• Match the shade color with the window trim or molding. Most trims come in a white or off-white color, so you can’t go wrong with neutral-colored window shadings that can create a classy look for the windows.
• Co-ordinate your shades tone with your wall color that can embrace the beauty of your overall home décor, creating a cohesive beauty.
• Match color with the floor and other existing décor elements to add style to your space.
• Try to pick the contrasting colors for your window shades. For example, if the wall color is white or neutral-toned then opt for dark color window shades such as red or blue to add an extra dimension.
• Window shade colors impact a lot on the size of the room as well. Like lighter colors can make your room look brighter and spacious while dark color window shades make space feel smaller.
• Dark color shades can reflect direct heat and sunlight. So, look for a window position and then decide.
• The thumb rule while choosing the color for your window treatments is to keep the overall color scheme in mind to help integrate the look of your rooms.
Mix and Match Color with Window Shades
Using color is an elegant way to transform indoor vibes. Use color and shade as per your personal tastes and room’s purpose. But before you select the color, you need to finalize the shade you wish to install on your window and then discover the color tones available with the product.
Let’s have a look at all the shade color and learn what it can do to your windows and the entire aesthetics.
• Romantic Vibes with Red:
Red is an ideal color for window shades as they are energetic and create a romantic feel for your room. It is the most intense color and grabs attention when featured with roman shades or roller shades, and installed in a living room or bedroom. It is the color of passion that can often relax your mind and create a soothing indoor ambiance when properly customized with your shading. A pair of red draperies can make a style statement for your windows or light red colored cellular shades can complement your windows in a dramatic way.
• Soothing Orange Tone:
Orange colored window shades can surely create a subtle look for your windows. From bright and fresh to a sophisticated orange hue, you can choose any shade of this color to feature your window shadings. The color is associated with comfort, security, fun, and also helps you to be focused. So, these colored window shades are a great choice to install in an exercise room or study room. Match the tone with drapery panels or patterned roller shades for a decorative touch.
• Yellow Means Happiness:
When you are looking to uplift the look of your windows, yellow-colored shades should be at the top of your list. Not only does it increase the brightness of your space but it also helps you to enter a creative mood. These yellow-colored window coverings are an excellent choice for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms. Yellow pleated shades or curtains can be the perfect addition for your house.
• Surrounded Yourself with Greenery:
When you are planning to give windows a natural look while inviting the outdoors inside your home, green window shades are the answer. It is considered to be the most refreshing color and suited for almost any room on the house. If you need calm and relaxing indoor ambiance, then customize your window treatments with different shades of green. Green colored draperies or natural shades can be a great choice for your windows to enhance the atmosphere while creating an earthy-feel.
• Blue Tone for Soothing Vibes:
Blue colored window solutions evoke the beauty of your place while bringing serenity and elegance. One of the most popular and versatile hue tones that work in every room of your house, creating timeless beauty. Choose from sky blue shades to deep navy-blue window coverings to highlight the windows in a sophisticated way. Combine blue window shades with white or off-white colored curtains to create an attractive appeal or install blue colored cellular or roman shades alone to revamp the beauty of the interior.
• Shining Purple:
If you want to create a luxurious royal look for your windows, then purple window treatments are your go-to option. When personalized this hue with the roller, solar, or roman shades, they create the perfect artistic look while adding visual interest to your place. Purple/violet and blue look extremely regal and if you want to create a luxurious setting you can safely opt for these colors. Take care while choosing the accessories like curtain rods and finials. It can play a decisive role in completing the look your want for your rooms.
Color is a powerful way to create a decorative interior that will create a pleasing ambiance while enriching the mood of your room. If you are planning to decorate your windows, then give special attention to the color options during customization. Your windows deserve the best and nothing can complement your windows like a color do. Be creative and play with all the color options and come up with unique window shade ideas. Remember only the right color can create the perfect aesthetically pleasing appeal while impacting on your mood and health.
Which color you choose will also depend on the color of your furniture. Black furniture and dark blue curtains for example will make a bad choice no matter how much you love both the colors.
Still not sure what color to choose for your shading? Consult a professional. They will assist you to find the right tone for your window dressing!

As Nigeria celebrated its 57th independence anniversary, yesterday, President Muhammadu Buhari has commended the National Assembly under the leadership of Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki for fostering cordial relationship with the executive.
Speaking in Abuja on Sunday, Buhari reasserted his stance that the National Assembly is the proper and legal forum to address ongoing call to restructure the country.
He faulted the national conference organised by former president, Goodluck Jonathan and others, saying national debates should be handled by the federal legislature and not some lopsided, undemocratic body with pre-determined set of objectives.
The president who stated these in a 7am live broadcast to mark the nation’s independence celebration however regretted that some groups were hiding behind the restructuring debate.
“In the last two years, Nigeria has recorded appreciable gains in political freedom. A political party at the centre losing elections of state Governor, National Assembly seat and even state Assemblies to the opposition parties is new to Nigeria,” he noted.
Speaking further, he said, “They (National Assembly) should, in addition, ensure swift passage of enabling corruption laws. But fighting corruption is a bottom to top operation.
“I call on all Nigerians to combat corruption at every turn. By not asking for and refusing to accept a bribe, by reporting unethical practices or by blowing a whistle, together we can beat corruption. The government for its part will work for accountability at all levels – federal, state and local governments. Change will then be real.”
Buhari, also took a swipe at South-East leaders for not calling the agitators for secession in their domain to order.
“As a young Army office, I took part from the beginning to the end in our tragic civil war costing about 2million lives, resulting in fearful destruction and untold suffering. Those who are agitating for a re-run were not born by 1967 and have no idea of the horrendous consequences of the civil conflict.
“I am very disappointed that responsible leaders of these communities do not warn their hot-headed youths what the country went through. Those who were there should tell those who were not there, the consequences of such folly.
“At all events, proper dialogue and any desired constitutional changes should take place in a rational manner, at the National Assemblies. These are the proper and legal fora for national debate, not some lopsided, undemocratic body with pre-determined objectives,” he said, adding that the FG is keeping up the momentum of dialogue with stakeholders in the Niger Delta.
On security, Buhari urged Nigerians to be grateful to the military for rolling back the frontiers of terror unleashed by the Boko Haram even as he assured that those in captivity
of the terrorists group especially the remaining Chibok girls will be rescued soon.
“Government will continue to support the Armed Forces and other security agencies to fight not only terrorism but kidnapping, armed robberies, herdsmen/farmers violence and to ensure peace, stability and security in our country.
“As we enter the second half of our term of office, we intend to accelerate progress and intensify our resolve to fix the country’s challenges and problems,” the President said.
In a related development, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki has congratulated Nigerians on the 57th anniversary of the country’s independence and for sustaining her status as a united and progressive country.
In a goodwill message to mark this year’s Independence Anniversary, signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in Abuja, Saraki also urged Nigerians irrespective of creed and tribe to continue to work for the peace, unity and stability of the country.
He also urged leaders – political, traditional, religious and business – to close ranks in order to initiate and implement ideas and strategies that would further develop the country and increase the standard of living of the citizenry.
Also, the Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed called on Nigerians to work for and believe in Nigeria’s unity and peaceful coexistence as means for attaining growth and sustainable development.
In his anniversary message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, the governor said all hands should be on deck to support President Muhammadu Buhari’s effort towards ensuring security for all and effectively tackle corruption.
According to him, “we should use the political independence to reflect on the prospect and progress as a nation-state in a hurry to develop its people, infrastructures and indigenous technology for the betterment of the government and people of Nigeria.”

The Pepper Box Inn
The Pepper Box Inn is a lovely spot at the end of the route from Yalding to Sutton Valence in Kent. Think of this route, which is clearly marked for the most part, as a relaxed ramble through apple orchards and pretty countryside lanes. Passing four ancient churches and three pubs, there are plenty of sights to see along the way. Start at Yalding Station and head towards the nearby George Inn and Walnut Tree pub. Following the signposts, you’ll reach Buston Manor, Linton and a small woodland area with bluebells. When you reach Greensand Way, the path will lead you to Harrietsham Station where the route ends. Ideal for a leisurely lunch after a long walk, at The Pepper Box, diners can choose from mains like baked cod fillet with steamed clams in garlic and white wine, Thai fish curry and beer-battered fish and chips. If you’re in the area for Sunday lunch, don’t miss the pork loin with sausage and apple stuffing.
The Horse Guards Inn
If you’re after a gentle walk through wild flowers in the West Sussex countryside – alongside a spot of shopping – look to Petworth and neighbouring village Tillington. Starting in Tillington, head west along Cemetery Lane and follow the road towards the vineyards. From there, turn right and walk towards Upperton Common – a good place to stop for some of the best views. You’ll then pass a cluster of beech trees before reaching the National Trust’s Petworth House where you can spot fallow deer in the park. Finally, walk across the deer park and back to the Horse Guards, an excellent gastropub with one of the nicest suntrap beer gardens we’ve come across. In terms of food, expect seasonal dishes like pan fried hake with Jersey Royals, local fish and shellfish stew, and veal fillet with wild mushrooms and spinach, potato and cauliflower gratin.
The George & Dragon
Home to a royal hunting ground in Tudor times, Epping Forest straddles the border between London and Essex, with more than 6,000 acres of vast woodland bursting with wildlife. There are several walking routes to follow, but one of the most scenic has to be the Oak Trail which starts at Theydon Bois underground station. From there, the signposted route is easy to follow and passes through beautiful surroundings, including fields, brooks and a deer sanctuary. On Epping High Street, The George & Dragon is popular with locals and it’s easy to see why. Diners can expect bistro style dishes including Devon crab and king prawn fishcakes; buttermilk chicken, Brie and bacon pie; and tempura battered halloumi.
The Sun Inn, Dedham
On the northern border of Essex and Suffolk, Dedham Vale has been a poster child for England’s landscapes ever since John Constable put oil to canvas and came up with ‘The Hay Wain’ in 1821. Flatford is the National Trust-run property where it was painted. A short walk away, The Sun Inn at Dedham is a proper old coaching inn with open fires if it’s cold and a terrace if it’s not. If you want to break up the on-foot explorations of the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the pub can sort you out with bikes and even a boat to float down the river Stour on. When you’re ready to leave the vale, follow the Stour estuary a few miles out to Wrabness, where you’ll find Grayson Perry’s ‘A House For Essex’. Naturally, Maldon is the place to head to for oysters and boat trips along the Blackwater estuary, while Mersea Island – nine miles south of Colchester – offers seven miles of sandy beaches, fresh seafood and great views. Just make sure to check the tide timetables.
The Ram Inn
Firle, East Sussex
A hit with walkers of all abilities, there are dozens of well-known scenic routes in this part of East Sussex, from the chalk cliffs of Beachy Head to Eric Ravilious-era hotspots such as Cuckmere Haven. If you’re feeling fit, walk to Firle Beacon to enjoy panoramic views of the sea and down to the castle at Lewes. Much of the area is associated with the Bloomsbury Group: Charleston in Firle is the former home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and is now a museum and art gallery. If you’re after a decent country pub in pretty surroundings, book lunch at The Ram Inn down the road, which serves hearty mains like fish and chips and decent Sunday roasts in wood-panelled surroundings. If you’re into wine, there are plenty of vineyards worth exploring: we like Rathfinny Estate, Ridgeview and Nyetimber.
Both Hastings and neighbouring town St Leonards-on-Sea are filled with Art Deco architecture and an array of caves and attractions that belie the region’s heritage as a smugglers’ paradise. East along the shingle seafront of Stade beach you’ll find Hastings Fishermen’s Museum and Shipwreck Museum – both a hit with kids – while Hastings Contemporary focuses on modern art – and a walk from one end to the other is a great way to spend an afternoon. Start off at Bulverhythe Beach west of St Leonards and it’ll take you an hour to walk to The Crown in Hastings, which serves great Sunday lunches in modern surroundings and is close to some of the town’s best antique shops.
The Star, Alfriston, East Sussex
For an afternoon out that combines many of the South Downs’ charms – views, art and local wine – look to the picture-perfect village of Alfriston. From the team behind Hotel Endsleigh in Devon and Hotel Tresanton in Cornwall, glossily refurbished pub-with-rooms The Star is set in a Grade II-listed 16th-century building in the medieval Sussex village. The property has been overhauled with 30 contemporary bedrooms and bathrooms, and lunch in the courtyard is a must in the summer. The Seven Sisters cliffs and the South Downs are both nearby, and are absolutely worth exploring before afternoon tea at Badger’s tearoom and a browse through the impressively stocked Much Ado Books.
The Tiger Inn
East Sussex is home to one of the most scenic walking routes in the UK – Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters. There are a few routes to take, but for a relaxed 90-minute stroll, follow the path between Birling Gap and the Tiger Inn – you can pick up a beermat with the route on it from the pub and stop for a refreshing drink when you get back. The circular coastal route begins at the inn and continues to Belle Tout lighthouse and Friston Church. Follow the National Trust signposts to Baileys Hill, the second of the Seven Sisters, and Went Hill. Be careful not to get too close to the cliff edge, then walk down the steps by the beach at Birling Gap for one the best vantage points. On the way back, follow the signs which lead back to the pub. The Tiger Inn, a quintessentially British pub, has an open fire, low-slung oak beams and plenty of comfort food. The menu includes pub favourites like fish and chips and homemade pies.
Ardingly, West Sussex
The sister site to Kew Gardens, Wakehurst is now run by the National Trust. Home to the Millennium Seed Bank and over 500 acres of the world’s plants, there’s a 150-acre nature reserve to explore, the Elizabethan Mansion – which houses an impressive collection of paintings – and a number of decent cafés. Opposite the north gate of the South of England showground, the Gardeners Arms is a traditional and homely pub. Dating back to the 17th century, the pub is cosy in the winter, with roaring log fires and traditional oak beams, and lovely in the summer when its garden comes into its own.
For many, the beautiful Thames-side town of Marlow is all about the food. Not only is there the famed Michelin-starred The Hand & Flowers, there’s also Tom Kerridge’s The Coach and The Butcher’s Tap. As the UK’s only pub with two Michelin stars, the former offers bold yet unpretentious reinterpretations of pub classics: think slow-cooked duck breast with crispy duck-fat chips, although we think The Coach is the best spot for a low-key lunch after a decent walk. Away from Kerridge’s empire, the Georgian town offers all the charm of its neighbours, Henley and Windsor. Just north of the town, you’ll find the Chiltern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From the town centre, there are two circular walks or visitors can opt for a visit to Cliveden, where a stroll around the estate is a must if you’re after something gentler.

PUNE: An alternate day water supply schedule announced by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has got schools in the city taking a conscious step in using it carefully.
Some schools have installed a sewage treatment plant (STP) that could recycle water used in the wash room flush to wipe down school buses instead of washing them, AC water outlets have been directed towards plants, and there is a strict monitoring of leaking taps.
Students are also being sensitized about the importance of water conservation, and tips are given to them every day about saving water.
At Victorious Kidss Educares, an IB World School in Pune, they try to use all resources sustainably and judiciously. During the inception of the school building more than 25 years ago, the authorities had foreseen water supply issues and had taken measures to make sure that there would be no hindrances.
President of the school Robbin Ghosh said, "We have systems that can handle the water requirement of our staff and students. We have also installed an STP that recycles water used in the wash room flush. At every step, we try to minimize water wastage while also making sure that all the requirements of our staff and students are met. We are fully equipped to handle water cuts imposed by the PMC."
Orchids The International School in Ambegaon has various water-conserving methods. Principal Aparna Khairnar said they make sure their students not only get academically accomplished but also become responsible citizens.
"We tied up with UNICEF for a garbage-free city project to make our students aware of the benefits of plastic recycling, re-using, and reducing its usage altogether. So, even before the water cut announcement was made, we started working towards it," she added.
In EuroKids Pre-School in Kondhwa and Bibvewadi, the staff check if there are any taps leaking that needed to be fixed.
Leena Talathi, principal of MS Golawalkar School, said they have a water storage capacity of 5,000 litres. "We are going to ask children to save water in school and at home. They will take half a glass of water to drink. Leftover water is to be collected in buckets and used for toilets or plants in school. We are studying the need from Monday and taking appropriate steps in the following days."

SCROLL DOWN FOR TRULY FUNNY VIDEO OF MAYOR "RIDING" TO THE STATE OF THE CITY
In his state of the city address today, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg promised to add more protected bike lanes and touted the city's planned summer launch of North America's largest bike share program. He also promised to step up traffic enforcement.
The Mayor started off with highly-produced video (at the bottom of the post) nodding to several of his signature initiatives from last year, including creating a plan to allow hailing of livery cabs outside of Manhattan. The video also featured a cameo of Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson and Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan riding a bike in a bike line, as Bloomberg admonishes Wolfson to "stay in the bike line."
The Mayor has faced withering criticism and even a lawsuit -- since dismissed -- over protected bike lanes, particularly one along Prospect Park, in Brooklyn.
“Now, I realize the debate over bike lanes has sometimes been hot and heavy," the Mayor said in his address, delivered in a Bronx High School and largely focusing on education.
"But the reality is more and more New Yorkers are biking, and the more bike lanes we put in, the fewer deaths and serious injuries we have on our streets."
“This year, we’ll take steps to enforce the law requiring every delivery rider to have proper safety equipment and clothing that identifies the name of the business. At the same time, we’ll launch the largest bike share program of any city in the country. Those bikes will create another option for getting around town faster and easier, and so will new Select Bus Service in Brooklyn, which we’ll launch in partnership with MTA Chairman Joe Lhota."
The Mayor, whose NYPD has also faced criticism over lax traffic enforcement, also promised more vigilance.
“We’ll also make our city smarter and safer by deploying Traffic Enforcement Agents to safety hot spots at key intersections, doubling the number of 20 mile-per-hour zones for schools.
The Mayor also name-checked the proposal to start a "select bus service" in Brooklyn, with off-board payment and priority lanes.

The aluminum seems like it’s pretty strong I think it will hold up a lot better than the stock plate on the desert terrain here.
Install was pretty frustrating surprisingly. In the third photo you have to insert that bolt through the frame on the underside of the engine. It was ridiculous trying to access it in order to torque it. I had to use vice grips to grab the end of my 10mm wrench to barely get a hold of the bolt while I torqued the nut on the bottom of the plate. I don’t know why Crosspro didn’t just design the plate to use the same latch on the bottom of the bike that the stock plate slides on to. I’m now dreading when I need to change the oil again

Wednesday’s ruling by Pakistan’s Musharraf-installed Supreme Court to bar former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his younger brother Shabaz, the chief minister of Punjab–the country’s most populous and powerful province–from elected office, has widened that nation’s growing political chasm.
The faux alliance between the two main parties of the capitalist grift, President Asif Ali Zardari’s Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), forged in the wake of the reemergence of Pakistan’s pro-democracy movement in 2007, has definitively broken down, hurtling the country further along the bumpy road of political crisis.
Sharif, every bit as corrupt and venal as Zardari, for tactical reasons hitched the PML-N’s political wagon to the mass movement launched by lawyers’ groups, democracy activists and the labor movement to restore Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Choudhry to office.
The Sharif family, rich Punjabi industrialists, came to prominence during General Zia ul-Haq’s military dictatorship during the 1980s. Sharif, a right-winger with close ties to the Saudi monarchy, spent a comfortable exile in Riyadh after being deposed by Musharraf. Indeed “democracy champion,” the late Benazir Bhutto, had initially welcomed Musharraf’s 1999 coup.
As socialist critic and historian Tariq Ali points out in The Duel, “neither Bhutto’s daughter, Benazir, nor Zia’s protégé, Nawaz Sharif, showed any ability to govern the country in interests other than their own. Clientilism, patronage, and corruption on a gigantic scale were the hallmarks of their weak regimes.”
Pakistan protest at Sharif ban – 26 Feb 09
A Pakistani court’s decision to continue banning a key opposition figure from politics, and nullify the election of his brother – has drawn angry crowds to the streets. Nawaz Sharif called for demonstrations after Wednesday’s ruling, a move that threatens to reignite long-standing political tensions. Al Jazeera’s Iram Khan reports.

How We Helped Our Client Drive Digital Transformation with Workday Implementation
- Our client is a prominent real estate developer and provider of luxury apartments in the US. The client and its team faced considerable challenges in managing its large workforce and complex financial processes, which were primarily manual and time-consuming.
- The team also struggled with compliance issues and lacked real-time visibility into their key business metrics.
- They partnered with a third-party service provider for Workday implementation, but the client was unhappy with the implementation support. They needed resources with deep knowledge and extensive expertise that Flatworld Edge had to test the quality of their existing implementation and realize the actual value of their Workday investment.
- Our experts optimized the Workday solution in accordance with the client’s level of quality and helped them drive new levels of efficiency across previously fragmented and manual system landscapes.
About Our Client
Our client is one of the renowned multifamily companies in the US with over 40 years of experience in the real estate sector. With a strong focus on developing, constructing, and managing luxury apartment communities in the State, our client is committed to providing its residents a high-quality, exceptional living. Since its inception in 1980, the company has quickly become a preeminent real estate player in the United States.
With over $640M worth of revenue and an ever-expanding workforce of 700 employees, the company is quickly expanding its horizons. Currently, the company owns and manages over 25,000 apartment homes in nine U.S. markets.
Since its establishment, the company has been managing its complex business processes, HR operations, and finances in-house through a variety of spreadsheets and a disparate payroll system.
But at their rate of growth, working with manual processes was no longer possible. The client realized that they needed to reassess their technology capabilities to streamline their decentralized HR and financial processes and improve data accuracy and visibility.
The client wanted to leverage a sustainable and scalable solution that automates its HR and financial processes and improves data accuracy and visibility.
For them, Workday was the clear winner as it met most of their requirements and had unmatched flexibility, scalability, and the ability to integrate with other systems.
The client started its Workday implementation process with the help of a WD partner. But the client was unhappy with their service delivery as the implementation was not being performed as per the required standards.
Though the client had moved to a Workday subscription, they lacked the in-house expertise to test the implemented solution and were looking for an experienced provider who could test the accuracy of the implemented.
Apart from that, the company was stuck with a legacy payroll system that was outdated and lacked flexibility. The company realized that it needed to upgrade its payroll system to keep up with the changing business landscape and ensure compliance with the latest regulations.
They hit the reset button and connected with Flatworld Edge with two requirements:
- A Workday resource who could work as an extension of their existing IT team and help them determine the quality of Workday implementation and boost productivity, skills, and engagement.
- A dedicated Payroll clerk resource so that they can move away from their current payroll provider and house all payroll and HR operations under one roof.
We pulled out all the stops to make sure the client got the support they needed.
After carefully understanding their requirements and drafting the scope of work, we deployed an experienced Workday resource for proper testing of the implemented solution. We also shared the Payroll clerk requirement with the FS team and helped them successfully close the requirement.
The payroll clerk played a crucial role in the implementation testing process, as they had a deep understanding of the Workday system and how it could be customized to meet the company’s requirements. They also worked closely with the implementation team to ensure that the new payroll system was designed and configured to meet the company’s needs.
The payroll clerk resource also helped the client set up the payroll configuration in the Workday system. This included creating pay groups, earnings codes, deductions, and configuring the tax setup. They also tested the new payroll system and identified any issues that needed to be addressed before the system went live.
The Workday implementation and testing helped our client:
- Improved HR processes: Workday streamlined employee onboarding, performance management, and compensation planning processes, and helped in improving the employee experience and reducing administrative overhead.
- Enhanced financial management: The cloud solution provided accurate and timely financial reporting, allowing the client to make confident data-driven decisions while reducing financial risk.
- Increased data accuracy and visibility: Workday provided real-time visibility into HR and financial data, allowing the company to quickly identify and address issues.
- Improved compliance: It helped ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations, reducing legal risk.
Overall, the Workday implementation helped our client move to an agile way of working. The client was able to align its people, processes, and finances on one consolidated platform, which helped him improve team efficiency, data accuracy, business visibility, and profitability.

If I was going to sum up the condition of the trails right now in one word, it’d be “urgh”. But don’t worry, plans are brewing to sort them out.
We’ve literally had an uphill struggle to keep on top of trail maintenance over the past few years, due to the thinning work carried out in 50 Acre Wood. This blocked off most of the forest access tracks we used to move stone around, meaning that some bits of trail are now an awfully long wheelbarrow push (along bumpy singletrack) from materials that can be used to patch and armour them. After talking to the Forestry Commission we’re getting some of these access tracks cleared, and once this has been done we should be restarting trail days later this month.
The trail in 50 Acre has also suffered from poor signage: in fact, it was never officially incorporated into the trail network when Ashton Court and Leigh Woods were redeveloped. This means they’re quiet, but it also makes them in danger of being swallowed by undergrowth in summer, and could make finding them impossible for a rider who isn’t lucky enough to stumble across this site. Moves are afoot to put some proper signs up, and also to remodel the dodgy road crossing over Beggar Bush Lane from Ashton Court so it can be crossed more quickly (yes, this should finally be happening in 2015).
Finally, if you’re wondering how the trails in Ashton Court and Leigh Woods are holding up, the answer is very well indeed. The Nova trail will continue to receive cyclic maintenance (a fancy way of saying they’ll be redoing the surface as it starts to wear out). The one bad bit – the “switchback” red section of Yer Tiz nearest North Road – was fully repaired a couple of months ago. See the photo below (from Architrail’s Facebook page). Lovely job.
