Four independent candidates will be working on boosting good governance if elected in the upcoming March 26 general election.
The four candidates - Jane Chircop, Arnold Cassola, Nazzareno Bonnici and Noel Apap - were interviewed as part of a series of election spots organised by the Broadcasting Authority.
All four said they ensuring there is good governance would be a priority.
"We also deserve cleaner politics. We have dirty politics…from Panama to Gaffarena…to direct orders.
"The Prime Minister won’t tell us about his undeclared wealth, the PN leader took twenty years to settle a tax bill. This is not on," Cassola said.
Similar calls were made by the three other candidates.
Cassola also spoke about the need for better public transport, saying that the government's decision to offer free transport to everyone was not enough.
"Free service is not enough…double fleet, make sure that in rush hour you don’t just have one packed bus. You need one every three minutes and one that is not full so on the way, more people can be picked up.
"Buses must operate for 24 hours so people know they can rely on this service," he said.
Meanwhile, Chircop said if elected she would ensure the country "starts dreaming again".
"We deserve to start dreaming again," she said, adding that protecting children's rights was something that is close to her heart. If elected, she would ensure children are safeguarded, especially since they are the citizens of tomorrow.
Free breast implants if elected - Bonnici
On his part, quirky candidate Bonnici, who calls himself as Tal-Ajkla (Of the Eagle) said he has a unique proposal for young people: if elected, he would offer €4,000 to those who want breast implants.
"I have a lot of things to say…people should open their eyes and ears. I am not like the bigger parties. The bigger parties forgot about Gozo…I haven’t. I am contesting this election for the whole country," he said.
And for Apap, his main focus will be on migration.
"People come here with boats, illegally, nobody knows anything. People are not charged," he said.
Apap also wants more trade schools and school to be mandatory for everyone under 18. He also called for less development, saying the country was now ruined with construction works in every corner.

Earlier this month, LPD and I went to the Caravan and Camping show at the NEC to hunt out the best family-friendly tent for us. We love the idea of going on lots of camping adventures as a family, and have already booked a weeks’ holiday in Wales for the summer. As Pickle gets older though, I’d love to take him camping abroad. I vividly remember going on a camping holiday to France when I was younger – going to the bakery and asking to buy baguettes in French, and getting my head around the foreign currency – it was brilliant! With continental Europe on our doorstep, there’s a wealth of gorgeous holiday villages and campsites to choose from so I was delighted recently to be introduced to Pra’ delle Torri in Italy.
Pra’ del Torri Camping
Pra’ Delle Torri has just been awarded a Trip Advisor Traveller’s Choice award for 2017, ranking it the 15th hotel destination in Italy and 1st in the vicinity of Caorle and it’s easy to see why. The holiday village, not far from Venice on the coast in Caorle, offers a vast array of holidaying options. For us, we’d be interested in the large camping area. There are a variety of camping pitch sizes and a number of washrooms, including one that’s heated during low season but if that’s not your thing, fear not! This Holiday Resort also boasts mobile homes, bungalows , apartments and a hotel to suit a range of budgets and requirements as well as an 18 hole golf course, a big Sports Centre, aquatic park, shops, restaurants and holiday entertainment teams. The resort also has a valued commitment to the environment and sustainability. There’s a wealth of landscaped green areas and charging stations for electric cars.
LPD and I have only been to Italy once, on a mini break to Rome (and whilst the less said about that holiday the better… it was plagued by a horrible tummy bug!), I was mesmerised by the culture and history. With Pra’ delle Torri being so close to Venice, it would be perfect for the odd day trip to visit this beautiful and romantic city and we could tick a whole load of attractions off our bucket list. The local area is also fantastic to cycle around so we’d definitely either take our own or hire some bicycles out there to explore and take in the scenery.
And if that wasn’t enough sport for us, this holiday village also offers opportunies to play Tennis, 5-a-side Football and Badminton (although, I can never manage to hit the shuttlecock – anyone else also have trouble? I have tried and failed many times!). If we went when Pickle’s a bit older, there’s also a Mini Club so if LPD and I wanted to enjoy a bit of relaxation ourselves, he can go off and play in the children’s club and we could enjoy a gin and tonic outside our tent in the warm Italian sunshine. Blissful! Perhaps we’ll need the time to chill after a morning of fun playing in the aquatic park, or a day of playing on the beach.
The percentage of ‘completely satisfied’ customers on Tripadvisors is staggering (a whopping 92.6%) and with five star ratings from ANWB and ADAC, I feel like you can book a holiday here safe in the knowledge that you’ll be in good hands. We’re a long way off being adventurous enough for a foreign camping trip just yet, but when we are, I’ll be checking this resort out for definite. You can find more about the resort at the Pra’ delle Torri website or find Pra’ delle Torri on Instagram and on Facebook or use the hashtag #pradelletorri to keep up to date with the latest deals and offers.

text: Dunstable Town 0-3 Leighton Town 28th December 2019 Written by Patrick MacKay and pictures by Liam Smith. The final game of 2019 saw visiting neighbours Leighton Town put three goals past Dunstable Town, on an afternoon that cast out any remaining Christmas cheer for the home side. Dunstable looked lively in the early stages, particularly (and unsurprisingly) Joe Hankins, and produced two chances via free kicks. The first of these was hit by Khy Smith-Reid, and Leighton Town goalkeeper Brad Kirkwood did well to hold onto the ball, with a number of attacking Blues following in, in the hope of putting away any spills. The visitors took control of the game after taking a while to settle, and after a dubious refereeing decision presented them with a free kick in dangerous territory, their first chance was headed over the bar, quickly followed by a dinked cross-cum-shot which, though wide of the target, had Dunstable hearts in mouths. The pressure mounted from the away side with Alfie Osborne curling an effort onto the crossbar before the Blues produced a fast-paced intricate counter attack which ended with Hankins losing his footing and being dispossessed. Ten minutes before half-time, the away team broke the deadlock when returning goalkeeper Mackenzie Taylor miskicked from a backpass, allowing free-scoring Danny Webb an open goal to aim at. The lead was almost doubled shortly afterwards when Ben Pattie was on the receiving end of a cross to the back post, which he controlled before turning well and striking over. Eric Ameyaw came on as a substitute before half-time, replacing injured captain Seb Smith, with Joe Hankins taking the armband for the remainder of the game. It was Hankins who came close to an equaliser just before the break, as his thirty-yard free kick was tipped over the bar by Kirkwood. Dunstable started the second half strongly, but there were chances at either end. Taylor did well to deny Danny Webb's volley before Dunstable's Harry Shepherd broke at speed, and managing to hold defenders at bay in a foot-race over half the pitch, saw his eventual shot tipped round the post by the outstretched arm of Kirkwood. Leighton's James Towell was next to work Taylor, with a fizzing effort from distance, which the young goalkeeper got his fingertips to. With just under twenty minutes to play, and Dunstable still asking questions in their search for a leveller, a Danny Blackman corner was headed on to Hankins, who was taken down. Blackman stepped up to take the spot-kick, but his fierce shot was pushed over the bar by the impressive Kirkwood. Eleven minutes from time, the away side managed to get some breathing space, when the Dunstable defence allowed the attacker too much time and space, and his eventual cross evaded Taylor before being touched in at the far post by Archie McClelland. Two minutes later, the game was put beyond doubt with a very similar goal, this time finished by Sonny Newbury-Barr, to stretch Leighton Town's unbeaten run to thirteen games.

Day of soul-searching, grief: Conn. town mourns as police look for answers
Stories of heroism, help emerge amid questions of 'why?'
Among the dead: well-liked Principal Dawn Hochsprung, 47, who town officials say tried to stop the rampage and paid with her life; school psychologist Mary Sherlach, 56, who probably would have helped survivors grapple with the tragedy; a teacher thrilled to have been hired this year; and a 6-year-old girl who had just moved to Newtown from Canada.
Nancy Lanza, who was once a stockbroker for John Hancock in Boston and once lived in Kingston, N.H., was a kind, considerate and loving person, Kingston Police Chief Donald Briggs Jr. said.
"She was very involved in the community and very well-respected," Briggs said.
Authorities said Adam Lanza had no criminal history, and it was not clear whether he had a job. Lanza was believed to have suffered from a personality disorder, said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Another law enforcement official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lanza had been diagnosed with Asperger's, a mild form of autism often characterized by social awkwardness. People with the disorder are often highly intelligent. While they can become frustrated more easily, there is no evidence of a link between Asperger's and violent behavior, experts say.
Sandy Hook Elementary will be closed next week — some parents can't even conceive of sending their children back, Leidlein said — and officials are deciding what to do about the town's other schools.
Asked whether the town would recover, Maryann Jacob, a clerk in the school library who took cover in a storage room with 18 fourth-graders during the shooting rampage, said: "We have to. We have a lot of children left."

Mon-Sat, 8am-7pm When it comes to seafood, you want to get as close to the source as possible. In a perfect world, we'd be able to buy a fish straight off the boat, while it's still fresh enough to have a personality. Failing that, the near-perfect place would be a neighborhood fish market -- maybe one that serves lunch.
Bingo. Sometime since their opening in 1938, Eaves Brothers Quality Seafood got the bright idea to put a kitchen in the back, haul in a dozen tables, and cook the seafood they sell. Nothing fancy, just an assortment of traditional seafood (catfish, shrimp, oysters, hand-stuffed crab) cooked fresh and served with a minimum of side orders. The portions are sizable and the prices reasonable -- perfect for a midday meal.
Most of Quality's menu items come in traditional VFW dinner form -- hand-battered, fried, and served with slaw, hush puppies, and fries. The portions, in addition to being insanely fresh, show complete disregard for traditional restaurant portion control practices. The fried shrimp easily earn their "jumbo" designation, and are butterflied before cooking. The nutritionally virtuous can indulge guilt-free with juicy broiled turbot or blackened snapper dinners and a squeeze of lemon (same sides apply). The cooks work with fish all day and the experience pays off on the plate. On certain floating dates (call ahead), head cook Jeff Boyce cooks up a special soup in addition to their chunky seafood/okra gumbo and shrimp creole. If you're lucky, you'll be on hand for his sherry-spiked turtle soup, served about every other Friday.

A 33 years Ifeoma Ossai has reportedly killed her landlord Mr Monday Oladele after he alledgedly grabbed his manhood and squeezing it till he died.
Mrs Ifeoma Ossai was arrested following a report at Sango Ota divisional headquarters by Olaleye Taiwo, the victim’s brother.
According to Taiwo’s allegation to the police, after a confrontation between his brother, Oladele, and one of his tenants over an electrical bill, the tenant in question grabbed the victim’s manhood and dragged him along.
He claimed that the landlord collapsed and was taken to General Hospital, Ota, where he passed away.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, the police spokesman, stated on Tuesday that after receiving the information, Saleh Dahiru, the DPO for the Ota division, led his detectives to the site, where the suspect was quickly apprehended and brought into jail for further investigation.
“During questioning, the suspect said that the deceased asked her to pay the electricity bill, but the victim insisted that she would not pay the electricity or any other utility payment until water was immediately connected to her flat, as the landlord had promised before she moved in.
“This resulted in a fight between them, during which the suspect seized the deceased’s manhood and pulled him along.
“The doctor on duty declared the deceased dead after he slumped and was taken to the hospital.” Oyeyemi said.
According to him, the body had been brought to the hospital mortuary for a postmortem.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, has ordered the suspect’s immediate transfer to the State Criminal Investigation Department’s Murder branch for additional investigation and assiduous prosecution.


The optical radiation data predominantly obtained for arc welding (but also for laser welding and plasma cutting) within the scope of this research project is set to significantly improve the data basis for the risk assessment of optical radiation emitted during welding over the years to come. A series of detailed analyses and the use of mathematical emission models also made it possible for the first time to introduce a straightforward and resilient tool for the risk assessment of optical radiation emissions during welding.
One of the main new findings from the F 2368 project is the detailed mathematical description of the optical radiation emissions of various welding processes over the complete wavelength range relevant for risk assessment. The impact of several different parameters (welding current, welded material, arc length, shielding gas, distance) was examined with regard to the arc’s optical radiation emission. This allows for a ranking of the welding techniques as regards the maximum permissible exposure durations according to the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance on Artificial Optical Radiation (OStrV), and therefore an assessment of the arising risks - not only to welders, but also to employed persons at adjacent workplaces or at service paths. Depending on the welding technique, welding current, welded material, and distance from the arc, the relevant exposure limit values can be exceeded within fractions of a second up to a few minutes.
With an appropriate preparation of the mathematical emission models, employers, safety officers, and also the welders themselves are equipped with a simple, reliable, and practicable tool which allows them to assess the risks posed by optical radiation at the welding workplace on a straightforward basis.

The rhetoric that the HST in B.C. will create 113,000 jobs and that it is the best thing we can do to improve the B.C. economy has been shifted to “it’s too expensive and complicated to go back” and it may contribute to marginal growth.
The Fight HST campaign may be emotional, but considering the $250,000 in funding versus the more than $5 million in “stick ads” and other pro-HST propaganda from the province and the $250,000 in government funding for the “Smart Tax Alliance” along with the undisclosed membership and financial contribution towards the “Smart Tax Alliance” — emotion, grass roots efforts and hopefully common sense are all the Yes to Extinguish the HST campaign has going for it compared to the well-funded other side.
The HST is not good for all businesses, and not good for all regions of B.C. It might be easy for a university professor or economics expert to explain what is the best taxation system for an entire province in theoretical terms, but these calculations do not consider all industries and all people — and theory does not always translate into reality.
The same experts that suggest that the HST is the best system, were opposed to the federal government lowering the GST, and likely also question the logic of the proposed decrease in the HST to 10 per cent.
The two biggest pieces of un-truth relating to the HST are that the PST would be applied to everything the HST is if it is re-instated, and that if you vote in favour of the HST it will be decreased to 10 per cent.
The question on the referendum is to return to the previous tax system in place on June 30, 2010.
If our provincial government were to choose to expand the scope of the PST tax, then they would need to pass legislation to do this, and hopefully from their experience on the HST, they would choose to consult the public and listen before any moves in this direction were attempted.
Voting to keep the HST does not mean it will be lowered. Our government has proposed or promised to lower the tax over several years, however.

Though digitalization is changing the working of the banking system, cheques are still considered the popular payment instruments. The usage of cheques is simple when used rightly. One of the concerning issues with the usage of a cheque is a bounced cheque. Previously, the law of a bounced cheque in the UAE states that anyone who issues a cheque that gets dishonoured will be facing criminal charges. But from January 2022, a new law has come into an act that the bounced cheque account holder will not be facing criminal charges but there will be fines levied. Criminal charges will be levied depending upon the aspects like forgery, stop payment instruction, withdrawing funds right before the encashment of the cheque, etc.
In the new Federal Law No. (14) of 2020 Amending Certain Provisions of the Federal Law No. (18) of 1993 Concerning the Commercial Transaction Law regarding the cheques includes a new clause for partial payments of the cheque.
Partial payment of cheques in the UAE
Earlier, when there are insufficient funds in the account, the cheque will be bounced and the account holder will be booked for bounced cheque offence. With the new law, if there are no sufficient funds in the account, the person to whom the cheque is addressed can withdraw available funds from the account and have the cheque to themselves until the entire amount on the cheque is paid off. The minimum amount that is eligible for the partial payment of cheques in the UAE is 5%.
When the cheque returns due to insufficient funds, you can visit the bank branch and request partial payment. This new rule is applicable to all the individuals and businesses in the UAE. This gives the cheque issuer some time to credit the account with sufficient funds.
It is important to note that the cheque is valid for only 180 days to encash it. Be it the partial amount or full amount, the person to whom the cheque is addressed must encash it within 6 months else it becomes invalid.
The cheque issuer will be charged AED 5 per each partial payment of cheques in the UAE. There are no charges levied on the receiver.
Check about: Cancelling a Cheque in the UAE
Steps to encash the cheque for partial payments in the UAE
- First, the cheque beneficiary can visit the bank to encash the cheque
- If the cheque returns back due to insufficient funds, then the cheque holder can take the original cheque, a memo about insufficient funds, and an Emirates ID, Trade Licence (if the beneficiary is a company)
- Visit the bank branch of the cheque and request the partial payment. For example, if the cheque issued is from bank ABC then you need to visit ABC bank.
- Once the partial payment is made as per the instructions on the cheque, the beneficiary will get back the original cheque along with the partial payment certificate which has the total payment, remaining payment, and the payment made details
- After one installment of partial payment, the beneficiary needs to visit the bank again and follow the same steps for another set of payments.
Frequently Asked Questions
A. Yes. The account holder will get a message on the registered mobile number regarding the partial payment of the cheque.
A. The bounced cheque cases filed in the UAE before the new law was put into action can be decriminalized depending on the issue. The cheque issuer needs to visit the police station and get things clarified to decriminalize the charges.
A. If the cheque becomes invalid or expires before the payment is fully paid, then the beneficiary needs to get a new cheque from the issuer.
A. Yes. All the banks registered under the Central Bank of UAE will follow the new law. This is already practiced by all the banks in the UAE like Mashreq, HSBC, Emirates NBD, etc.

Small coffee farmers in Brazil
On a recent trip to Brazil, I met some amazing small coffee farmers. There appears to be a growing trend to source coffee from small producer associations, who can provide quality coffee for the specialty market. Many of these have amazing farms like the one I visited in Southern Minas Gerais. Look out for these origins. Check with importers and coffee roasters and ask if they carry coffee from Brazilian small coffee farmers.

Operating since 1985, UW Med Flight is among the most well-known and respected critical care transport services in the country and provides world-class scene and inter-facility critical care transport services for Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and eastern Iowa. Med Flight is one of the only helicopter EMS (HEMS) programs in the United States staffed by attending physicians on every flight. A team of 30 physicians operates three twin-engine aircraft with state-of-the-art aviation technology alongside an experienced pilot and nurse.
UW is one of the few programs in the U.S. to provide high-impact HEMS training to residents and fellows where they manage critically ill and injured adult, pediatric and neonatal patients. They also gain extensive procedural and administrative experience outside of the traditional ED setting.
“Taking care of critically ill patients in a variety of settings has improved my critical care skills and knowledge base. Learning how to adapt to all of the clinical scenarios that we see on Med Flight will has also helped me expand my problem-solving toolkit as a physician. I’ve also learned a lot about the different we can expand healthcare systems to support rural communities.” – Zachary Forcade, MD, Med Flight Fellow 2021-22

Chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday performed inauguration of total 18 industrial projects through video conferencing from the state secretariat, with total investment potential of Rs 2200 crore.
These projects, in diverse sectors like cement, food processing including seafood, solar power, healthcare and metal downstream, will generate employment opportunities for around 3500 people, said an official source.
A cement grinding unit and a captive power plant by Emami Cement Ltd with an investment of Rs 401 crore at Kalinganagar, a pasta manufacturing unit by Jay Bharat Spices worth Rs 45 crore at Jagatpur in Cuttack, an iron ore pellet plant by Brahmani River Pellets Ltd worth Rs 40 crore at Kalinganagar and a fly ash bricks unit by Utkal Bricks and industries worth Rs 7.41 crore at Bhagabanpur in Khurda were the four units inaugurated by the chief minister.

The overall goal of the AIMS (Assurance and Improvement in Medication Safety) program is to improve medication safety through the recording and analyzing of incidents and near misses to help identify solutions aimed at preventing them from recurring. The College is committed to supporting community pharmacies to use data to strive towards this goal and emphasizing learning through a safety culture where individuals are comfortable bringing forward medication incidents without fear of punitive outcomes.
The College is moving towards using data differently, including making data available in a way that can assist with quality improvement initiatives. The College has developed a tool that allows pharmacy teams and other stakeholders a view of the aggregate, anonymous medication incident and near miss data on some of the event recording fields that are available through the AIMS program.
In reviewing the data, there are some considerations that should be taken into account. The data is self-recorded and therefore data field selection is dependent on the individual recording. Additionally, the data only reflects the activities of those community pharmacies that have recorded incidents or near misses.

Objectives: Thalidomide has been shown to have antitumor activity in some patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We initiated a phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of adding metronomic chemotherapy to thalidomide as first-line therapy. Methods: This open- labeled, single-arm, multicentered, investigator-initiated study enrolled patients with treatment-naïve advanced HCC not amenable to locoregional therapies. Treatment included oral thalidomide (100 mg twice daily) and tegafur/uracil [125 mg/m2 (based on tegafur) twice daily]. Tumor assessment was performed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0. Pretreatment plasma levels of angiogenesis factors were correlated with patient outcomes. Results: Forty-three patients were included. Sixteen (37%) patients had a Cancer of the Liver Italian Program (CLIP) score of 4, and 31 (72%) patients had chronic hepatitis B virus infection. The objective response rate was 9%, and the disease stabilization rate was 33%. The median progression-free survival was 1.9 months (95% CI 1.7-2.1 months), and the median OS was 4.6 months (95% CI 2.3-6.9 months). Treatment was generally tolerable. High baseline plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were adversely correlated with patient survivals. Conclusions: The combination of thalidomide and tegafur/uracil was safe and demonstrated modest activity in patients with advanced HCC.

There was a great showing of union solidarity in Carson City!
There were probably 300-400 people at the President's Day rally. They came from a wide variety of unions in Nevada who came out to support the state workers in Wisconsin.
Vicki Borst, pictured at right picketing NV Energy last summer, is a NV Energy retiree and activist with the IBEW Local 1245 Retirees Club. She came out on February 21st to rally and support public workers in Wisconsin.
“I think it’s an awesome show of unity and solidarity in Wisconsin, and I see the same thing going on here today,” Borst said in a channel 8 TV report.
All four of the local TV stations, including the FOX network, covered the rally.
Nevada AFL-CIO chief Danny Thompson was the MC for the rally and several from the state workers, teamsters, teachers and other unions spoke on the importance of collective bargaining and the importance of the services state workers provide.
A few members of the legislature came out and stood with us in support of the state workers and collective bargaining. Senator Horsford furnished pizza to the people in the crowd saying he would rather give than take away from the state workers.
There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the crowd and it was reflected by the people in passing cards who honked their horns in support. There were a few anti-union protesters but they were outnumbered probably 20 to 1.
There was a good showing of Local 1245 retirees at the rally - about a dozen. One of them, Jim Walker, brought his young son. There were lots of families at the rally because of the Presidents Day holiday. It will create a memory for them they'll never forget.
It was a great day!
Rita Weisshaar is a retired NV Energy employee and IBEW Local 1245 shop steward. She is also an organizer for the union.

Phillips & Cohen’s expertise with whistleblower cases is well recognized in the media. The firm’s attorneys have represented whistleblowers in qui tam cases since the False Claims Act was enacted in 1986. Phillips & Cohen now has many whistleblower clients with claims made through the Internal Revenue Service, Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission whistleblower reward programs.
The following excerpts are from news stories prior to 2013 where Phillips & Cohen attorneys have been quoted about whistleblower programs and issues. For more recent stories, please see Phillips & Cohen in the News – Experts on Whistleblower Cases.
“Rajat’s moment of truth – ex-Goldman Sachs honcho awaits sentencing,” The Pioneer (India), 10/25/12.
But the proposal for leniency for Gupta is not without its critics. Writing in Forbes magazine, Erika Kelton, a partner at Phillips & Cohen, the well-known law firm representing whistleblowers, argues that the proposal for community service, if accepted, could set “a disturbing precedent.”
“Gupta’s request would be laughable if it didn’t indicate the mindset of Wall Street,” she writes, adding: “When a deal goes bad, the thinking goes, let’s try to talk our way out or write new rules, so the dealmakers can still come out on top or at least suffer minimal losses.”
“The Risks and Rewards Of Being A Whistle-blower,” The Diane Rehm Show, 10/11/12. (Transcripts of interview with John R. Phillips. Listen to audio clip.)
“Well, we’ve been bringing these cases for over 26 years. We carefully screen… these cases and would not bring a case unless it was well grounded… And the government does join most of the cases that we bring.”
“These companies aren’t paying billions of dollars back because they made a simple mistake. They’re paying it back because they knew they were doing it and they did it anyway because it was profitable for them. And they’re being caught now and they are being deterred from doing it in the future.”
“The Plaintiffs’ Hot List,” National Law Journal, 10/1/12.
. . . We asked our readers to nominate firms that have done exemplary, cutting edge work on the plaintiffs side. We looked for firms that scored at least one significant plaintiffs win between June 30, 2011 and July 1, 2012, and that possessed and impressive track record of wins within the past three to five years.
Coming one year after the SEC launched its program in August 2011, the first reward signals the SEC is acting quickly and aggressively to encourage whistleblowers, says Erika Kelton, an attorney specializing in representing whistleblowers at Phillips & Cohen, in Washington, D.C.
“This payout is critical to show whistleblowers that this is a robust, functioning program,” says Kelton, “and it’s operating very well. A one-year turnaround is exceptional.”
“Report and be damned: an American whistleblower’s story,” The Bureau of Investigative Journalism, 8/28/12.
Erika Kelton, an American attorney at Phillips & Cohen with significant experience, believes that the most important lesson from Asadi’s case is that employees are not always better off voicing their complaints internally.
“If Asadi had reported first to the SEC, things could have been different,” Kelton said from Washington.
Google “whistleblower” and you’ll see this website for Phillips and Cohen in Washington, which has won billions of dollars in suits, including a $3 billion suit against Glaxo this year over “off-label” marketing of Advair, Wellbutrin and other drugs. The firm was also involved in litigation against HCA.
“IRS sets timeline for action on whistleblower claims,” Tax Notes Today, 6/22/12.
Erika A. Kelton of Phillips & Cohen LLP said that Senate Finance Committee member Chuck Grassley, R. Iowa, deserves most of the credit for the change. “His forceful advocacy for the IRS whistleblower program and his unrelenting criticism of the IRS for its failure to take advantage of such a promising enforcement program has yielded positive results,” she said.
“False Claims Act May Increasingly Be Used to Target Financial Companies, Lawyers Say,” Banking Daily, 5/19/11.
Indeed, Phillips & Cohen LLP founding partner Mary Louise Cohen told BNA May 18 that casual conversations with DOJ officials inform her that the government fully expects an increase in FCA cases involving financial services firms.
“In conversations with people at the Justice Department – we frequently have conversations among members of our bar at conferences – it became clear that they anticipate seeing these cases. They expect to see TARP cases, they expect to see financial cases,” said Cohen, whose firm specializes in representing whistleblowers.
“How to Encourage Whistle-Blowers to Report Internally,” Agenda, 2/28/11.
“It’s really important for boards to evaluate their whistle-blower hotline or internal reporting mechanism to make sure that reporting is friendly to individuals and gives assurance that there won’t be retaliation,” says Erika Kelton, a partner with Phillips & Cohen, a law firm that specializes in representing whistle-blowers.
“The policy needs to be open-door and whistle-blower friendly, meaning that companies can’t react to an employee’s concerns by going through his job performance with a fine-tooth comb and raising issues that had not been issues at prior reviews,” Kelton adds.
“Companies prod SEC on whistleblower proposal,” The Wall Street Journal, 2/11/11.
Lawyers for whistleblowers counter that requiring internal reporting would kill the program by discouraging would-be tipsters from coming forward for fear of being identified.
“If mandated internal reporting were required it would be like turning off the tap,” of whistleblower tips, said Erika Kelton of law firm Phillips & Cohen LLP.
“Firms face sudden rush of whistleblower claims,” Corporate Counsel, 9/9/10.
. . . Erika Kelton, partner at the plaintiffs’ powerhouse Phillips & Cohen in Washington, D.C., agreed that the outpouring [of SEC whistleblowers] is huge. . . . Kelton was the lead attorney for a whistleblower suit against Pfizer Inc., which paid a record-setting $2.3 billion in mid-2009 to settle civil and criminal charges for using illegal sales tactics.
“Larger bounties spur surge in fraud tips,” Wall Street Journal, 9/7/10.
“The SEC is offering some protections for informants. . . . These features, combined with the guaranteed minimum payout for whistle-blowers who qualify, are encouraging insiders to step forward,” said Erika Kelton of Phillips & Cohen LLP.
“Whistleblower Incentives Prompt Greater Board Diligence,” Agenda, 8/9/10.
The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act creates new financial incentives and legal protections for whistleblowers to provide government prosecutors with evidence of corporate fraud, prompting boards to make far stronger efforts to ensure compliance.
. . . Boards will have to set the tone for improved communications within their companies. “Directors and executives should be listening to their employees,” says Erika Kelton, a partner at Phillips & Cohen.
“Health-Fraud Whistleblower Cases May Surge Because of Federal Law Overhaul,” Bloomberg, 7/28/10.
“Generally, the trend is up, up, up and more, more, more,” said Erika A. Kelton, a Washington-based attorney for Phillips & Cohen LLP. She represented John Kopchinski, a former Pfizer salesman, in a so-called qui tam, or whistleblower, lawsuit against the New York-based company that yielded the $1 billion settlement.
“Financial reform law includes big cash incentives for whistle-blowers,” Los Angeles Times, 7/23/10.
The new SEC whistleblower program “is very significant and will have an immediate impact,” said Erika Kelton, a Washington lawyer who has represented whistle-blowers. “It will motivate knowledgeable insiders to step forward and tell the enforcement agencies what they know. It is the secret weapon in this massive bill.”
“Whistleblowers motivated by integrity, study says,” Main Justice, 5/13/10.
Phillips & Cohen LLP’s Erika Kelton, who has represented several whistleblowers, including a sales representative in an illegal marketing case against Pfizer Inc. that settled last year for $1.8 billion, said in a statement that the study tracked closely with her experience.
“People often turn to us after they have been fired or have raised their concerns with management but nothing changes. Typically, whistleblowers decide to file a ‘qui tam’ lawsuit as a last resort,” she said. “Most are motivated more by exposing wrongdoing and stopping what are often harmful or dangerous practices than by any hope for a reward.”
“Tattling for dollars; The growing ranks of IRS informants,” Daily Finance, 5/8/10.
Erika Kelton, a partner at Phillips & Cohen who represents whistleblowers, says the IRS has received information from informants that it wouldn’t have obtained otherwise. She notes that over three years, thousands have cases have been filed, dozens of which are valued at over $100 million, adding, “The IRS can only be at so many places at once.”


Visual plan revealed
Published 12:01 pm Tuesday, January 30, 2018
WINTON – There are many hurdles left to clear, but at least for the time being there is a visual plan in place for the proposed new Ahoskie Elementary School.
At last week’s meeting of the Hertford County Board of Education, Thomas Hughes of the Raleigh-based architectural firm SFL +A, provided an update and a visual presentation of what the new facility may look like.
Before revealing the architectural concept, Hughes said one of the things his firm likes to do in advance is to figure out how a new project, such as this one, will represent the community, the unique heritage where it’s located.
“A school building provides a sense of memory, a sense of an image, an identity, that ties it to its community,” Hughes observed. “We did some research on Ahoskie and this town has a unique past. We look at the buildings here and how that factors into the town’s identity. We look at the present school and how it has served the community. We look at the site where the new school will be built.”
As far as the current Ahoskie Elementary School, Hughes noted it has faithfully served its purpose.
“It was built in 1959….it has reached its life expectancy,” he stressed. “You’ve gotten great use out of that building, but it’s showing its age. But it does have character.”
The location of the new Ahoskie Elementary School is across the street from the current campus, adjacent to the rear of Bearfield Primary School. The county already owns that land.
“We’re keeping in mind that it’s in a residential neighborhood, mostly single-story homes, so we want to be conscience of the scale of that neighborhood,” Hughes said. “We don’t want to overwhelm it, we want to be part of it.”
In a digital presentation, Hughes pointed out the “lay of the land” at the new site. The school’s main entrance will be on First Street (NC 561), adjacent to the Town of Ahoskie Cemetery. He said that was done in an effort to keep the heavy traffic flow to and from the school out of the nearby residential areas. Faculty/staff and bus entrances to the school will be off Ruth Avenue.
The new school, now at a proposed 125,000 square feet, will be built to house 500 students with what Hughes termed as a “600 core.”
“What that means the core space is a bit bigger to accommodate a gym, an auditorium and a cafeteria,” he said.
He noted the gym/auditorium areas of the school could be used by community members.
“We can design it to cordon off the rest of the school, prevent the general public from accessing certain areas, when the gym or auditorium is in use after hours for community events,” Hughes said. “The same can be said for the cafeteria space on the other end of the school (near the Ruth Ave. entrance) for use as a smaller meeting space for the community.”
The auditorium will seat 450.
The educational wing of the building will be two stories – fourth graders on the ground floor and fifth graders on the second floor.
“We tried to design this as a single-story building, but it wouldn’t fit on the designated space,” Hughes remarked. “That area matches well with the double space high of the gym and auditorium.”
The outdoor playground area will be shared with Bearfield Primary School.
“We look forward to working with you and your firm on this project,” said School Board Chairman David Shields at the conclusion of the presentation.
Plans to build a new Ahoskie Elementary School have gained steam over the past two years.
At their second meeting in September of last year, the Hertford County Board of Commissioners met with Hughes along with leaders of the county’s school system, including Shields and HCPS Superintendent Dr. William Wright. At that meeting the cost of the project was estimated at between $15 million and $16 million.
“That price includes the consideration for an auditorium,” Hughes said at the September meeting. “We’re also looking at building an energy efficient facility, the less money you have to pay in energy costs means more money you can put into the education of your children here in Hertford County.”
The Superintendent added at the same meeting that based on the current number of 4th and 5th graders enrolled at Ahoskie Elementary, if the new school had opened last year, the space requirements would be less than 500 students.
“We’re looking at future growth for that school, based upon the population base in our county being in the Ahoskie area,” Wright remarked.
As for the auditorium, Wright stressed the need for 600 seats.
Commissioner Curtis Freeman asked if the plans calling for an auditorium was exactly that, or was it more along the lines of a multi-purpose “gymtorium.”
“The auditorium is a separate facility,” Hughes answered. “In a gymtorium setting, everyone sits basically flat to the floor, meaning you’re looking at the back of someone’s head seated in front of you. An auditorium setting is built on a floor plan that slopes down to the stage. Plus, an auditorium can serve as a centerpiece for the entire community. If you can afford it, an auditorium is the better way to go.”
Commission Chairman Ronald Gatling asked about other options should the county want to save money on the project by excluding the auditorium.
“Then you look at a stage in a gym,” Hughes remarked. “You look towards a larger multi-purpose area, complete with a full basketball court. The downside is that a multi-purpose facility gets more wear and tear than an auditorium.”
Dr. Wright said a multi-purpose area at the new school would be consistent with what is currently in use at both Riverview Elementary and Bearfield Primary.
“While we want our children to have the best things and place them in an environment that promotes education, there are other driving forces with this proposal to build a new school,” said Hertford County Manager Loria Williams at the September meeting. “The main thing is cost. This board is responsible for approving any new schools, and they must keep in mind what we can afford to add to our existing debt service.”

When assessing a Windows domain environment, the ability to “pass the hash” is invaluable. The technique was pioneered by Paul Ashton way back in ’97, and things have only gotten better since. Fortunately, we no longer need to patch Samba, but have reasonably functional tools like Pass-The-Hash Toolkit and msvctl.
The general aproach of these tools is to not focus on writing PTH versions of every Windows functionality, but rather to allow you to run Windows commands as another user. This means that instead of needing to patch Samba, we can just use msvctl to spawn
cmd.exe and from there run the
net use command. This aproach has the obvious advantage of requiring far less code.
On a recent enagement, I was attempting to access SharePoint sites using stolen hashes. My first instinct was to launch
iexplore.exe using msvctl and to try to browse to the target site. The first thing I learned is that in order to get Internet Explorer to do HTTP NTLM authentication without prompting for credentials, the site you are visiting needs to be in your “Trusted Sites Zone”. Four hours later, when you figure this out, IE will use HTTP NTLM authentication, with the hash specified by msvctl, to authenticate you to the web application. This was all great, except for I was still getting a 401 from the webapp. I authenticated, but the account I was using didn’t have permissions on the SharePoint site. No problem; I have stolen thousands of users’ hashes and one of them must work, right? But what am I going to do, use msvctl to launch a few thousand instances of IE and attempt to browse the the site with each? I think not…
I took the python-ntlm module, which allows for HTTP NTLM with urllib2, and added the ability to provide a hash instead of a password. This can be found here. Then, because urllib2 is one of my least favourite APIs, I decided to write a patch for the requests library to use the python-ntlm library. This fork can be found here. I submitted a pull request to the requests project and commited my change to python-ntlm. Hopefully both of these updates will be available from pip in the near future.
So, what does all this let you do? You can now do pass-the-hash authentication with Python’s request library:
One last thing to keep in mind is that there is a difference between HTTP NTLM authentication and Kerberos HTTP NTLM authentication. This is only for the former.

This week it is 10 years since the sad death of Syd Barrett, the rock star who swapped his role as the creative genius of Pink Floyd for a life of obscurity back in his home town, Cambridge.
Syd’s death in July 2006 prompted an outpouring of grief from fans all over the world, and a welter of tributes from within the music industry. But his funeral at Cambridge Crematorium was a quiet affair, with only around a dozen members his family and some close friends attending.
He was born in Cambridge in 1946, growing up in Hills Road, and his name was Roger, not Syd – that was a name he adopted later. He went to Morley Memorial School, Cambridgeshire High School for Boys (now Hills Road Sixth Form College), and later the art school at CCAT, Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology.
Syd was a colossally skilled craftsman, however as a young fellow in the Sixties, he was additionally attracted to the neighborhood music scene.In 1964, he was welcome to join a band called Those Without, as a vocalist and bass player, and he properly did. The band’s drummer, Stephen Pyle, is credited with proposing they call themselves Pink Floyd, however they stayed with Those Without, propelled by the Francoise Sagan novel Those Without Shadows.
One of Syd’s classmates was Roger Waters, whose mother had moved to Cambridge when he was a tyke. In 1965, the two buddies framed Pink Floyd in London with two different performers, Richard Wright and Nick Mason, and the band rapidly got to be built up on the capital’s underground music circuit. They discharged several singles that got into the graphs – Arnold Layne and See Emily Play – and after that drew out their introduction collection in 1967, The Piper At The Gates of Dawn.
Syd was the pioneer of the gathering, composing the greater part of the material, singing lead vocals and playing lead guitar, yet he was likewise taking medications, including LSD, and it wasn’t much sooner than he quit Pink Floyd, to be supplanted by another Cambridge chap, David Gilmour.
Subsequent to leaving the band, he lived in London for a period, and after that returned home to Cambridge in 1981, making the whole 60-mile venture by walking. At first he lived with his mom at the family home in St Margaret’s Square, however she later moved out to give him a chance to have the house to himself, and it is there he stayed, until his passing at 60 years old.
In an interview published in the News in 2008, Syd’s sister Rosemary said: “After returning to Cambridge he showed no interest in Pink Floyd at all. He just tried to put that whole thing away. If anyone called him Syd, he wouldn’t answer. He wasn’t Syd because Syd was Pink Floyd.”
In October, his life will be honored with the revealing of a craftsmanship remembrance to him at the Corn Exchange, together with a show being sorted out by Cambridge Live.

Nate Davis withdrew from negotiations to be the new superintendent of Decatur Township Schools.
- Filed Under
Decatur Township Schools has become the second Indianapolis-area district to face setbacks in its search for a superintendent after the finalist withdrew amid contract disagreements.
Nate Davis, the Southwestside district's assistant superintendent, was named as the School Board's pick earlier this month to replace Superintendent Debbie Sullivan. But Davis now says he will continue in the assistant role.
"Out of respect for the search process and the board, I'm not going to comment," he said. "Decatur Township is a great place to be and a great place to work. I wish the board all the luck ...

Katrina Bond, from Torrington, came up with the busty creation for charity.
A TORRINGTON mum has raised more than £170 for Cancer Research in two days by creating a cake in the shape of a giant pair of boobs.
Katrina Bond, 27, conjured up the cake in a matter of hours, inspired by the plethora of ‘no makeup selfies’ she had seen on Facebook.
“It got me thinking, what could I do to raise even more money and awareness for Cancer Research?” said the mother-of-two.
Katrina, who currently looks after her children, four-year-old Freya and one-year-old Harper, is in the process of trying to set up a cake making business.
She said: “I’ve been trying to build up my portfolio and thought this would be a great way to put my skills to use for charity.
“My husband Chris and I set a JustGiving page up at about 11pm on Thursday night and were amazed to raise £72 in less than 24 hours.
“We decided to run the donations page until Sunday, pull all of the names into a hat and draw one out to win the cake.”
In total the page raised £178 and the lucky winner of the cake was James Brown.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino knows he has one of the hottest properties in the Premier League on his hands at the moment in the shape of Son Heung-min.
The South Korea international continued his scintillating form with another brace in Boxing Day’s 5-0 romp over Bournemouth at Wembley to take his tally to seven in seven.
It comes hot on the heels of his two goals and two assists in the 6-2 win at Everton and he is one of the form players in the division.
It all stems from a week’s rest he had during the international break in November, where he stayed at Spurs and worked on his fitness after a gruelling summer had cast a shadow over the opening part of the campaign.
After going to the World Cup, he was then selected for South Korea’s Asian Games side in a bid to avoid compulsory national service – a mission which was successful after they won the tournament – but the first few months of the season were sluggish.
Pochettino will be hoping he can get the most out of Son in the next few weeks before he jets off for more international duty in the new year as South Korea compete in the Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
“After November he had a rest and was here trying to recover his best and I think he is doing fantastic.
“He started his fantastic run against Chelsea and until today he is doing a fantastic job for the team.
“I hope he can keep that level but you know in a few weeks he is going to be away from Tottenham because he needs to go with his national team to Dubai to play the Asian Cup.”
Walker-Peters, who made a high-profile error in the recent Champions League game at Barcelona, set up first-half goals from Christian Eriksen, Son and Lucas Moura.
“It’s no surprise to me,” Pochettino added. “I told you after the match in Barcelona that we really believe in him and he has amazing quality and only needs time to mature and show his quality.
“I’m so pleased, so happy because I think his quality is going to help the team this season and for the future he’s going to be a very important player for Tottenham.”

More than 40% of transgender people have reported negative treatment at work. LGBT+ people tend to be more highly educated and work more often in health and social services.
Thirty-percent of homosexual people and more than 40% of transgender people in Germany reported being discriminated against at work, according to a study issued Wednesday by the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW).
According to the study, homosexual people and transgender people are employed to a similar extent as the heterosexual population, but they are usually more highly qualified, according to the report, made available to the Funke Media Group. For example, the proportion of LGBT+ who have graduated from technical school and university is 60%, compared to 42% of the rest of the population.
LGBT+ people work less often in the manufacturing industry, but more often in health and social services as well as the arts and entertainment industries than the rest of the German population.
"The figures are consistent with what we know from our own surveys and also from our counseling practice," Bernhard Franke, acting head of the Federal Anti-Discrimination Office, told Funke.
LGBT+ people often experience forms of bullying and harassment at work and so frequently keep their sexual identity a secret, said Franke. "No one should be discriminated against in Germany because of their sexual or gender identity," he said.
Transgender people have to deal with a particularly high level of discrimination, Franke said, adding that studies show people's name changes are often not accepted. Transgender people often face, for example, "an inappropriate, often sexualized interest in private life, imitating or ridiculing voices or gestures or not being able to use toilets according to one's gender identity," he said.
Franke added that employers should be the first to take action: "Companies should emphasize and promote diversity, not hide it. In addition, it is important to intervene as soon as discrimination is recognized."

Oil headed for the biggest weekly decline since mid-March as a resurgence of Covid-19 in some parts of the world and uncertainty around the prospect for an OPEC+ deal to boost supply clouded the short-term outlook.
Futures in New York extended losses to trade near $71 a barrel after closing at the lowest level in a month on Thursday. The fast-spreading delta variant has swept across the globe, leading to renewed restrictions and crimping fuel demand. The United Arab Emirates is nearing a deal that would give it better terms and allow OPEC+ to boost output in the coming months, although talks are ongoing with Saudi Arabia and details remain scant.
Overall the market is bearish with a downside breakout likely sending trade to attack a 68.50 low. A close under 69.90 is bearish. Current corrective rebounds trapped by 73.00 will maintain bear forces. However, a close over 73.10 confirms the start of a reversing upturn.

Amount and size distribution of wear particles in engine lubricating oil are indicators of the current machine condition. A change in size distribution, especially a rise in the amount of larger particles, often indicates a starting wear of some machine parts. Monitoring wear particles contained in lubricating oil during normal machine operation can help to identify the need for maintenance and more important to prevent sudden failure of the machine.
An optical method is used to image a thin layer of oil to count and classify contained particles. Therefore, a continuous flow of undiluted oil from the oil circuit of the machine is pumped through the measurement instrument. Inside the instrument, the oil flow is directed through a thin transparent flow cell. Images are taken using a bright LED flashlight source, a magnification lens, and a digital camera. Algorithms have been developed to process and analyze the images. They are capable of compensating for variations in background brightness, of differentiating solid particles from non-solid particles (such as e.g. air bubbles), of classifying particles and air bubbles by size and shape. Additionally the class growth rate is monitored and classified by a prediction software unit, which is able to identify critical situations.
The image analysis algorithms were trained with different oil samples from engines with varying damages. A differentiation between the causes of damage on the basis of the calculated particle properties was shown. Furthermore the system was successfully tested in various applications at engine test stands. It was capable of indicating an upcoming crankshaft bearing damage during a short test run. Using gas bubble count and size distribution, a value for the dispersed gas concentration could be calculated, which shows a good correlation with dynamic engine behavior.

Custom build HGCE GAT-X105VX Strike Gundam Vixtea: images, info
From the Modeler:
Weird regardless of whether it is natural or coordinator … MS developed by the independent factory “Venixis” organized by unique personnel. It was manufactured on the assumption that the latest technology such as VPS will be introduced, and a strike-type custom machine that uses original technology and a dedicated striker pack will be used.
65mm long range beam rifle & FE shield equipped. The Vixtea Striker deploys a binder during high mobility and can operate the Fortis II Beam Cannon and the Varana High Plasma Convergent Beam Launcher.
Unique FE armor is used for the shoulders and legs. The energy mechanism that applies Hyper Dutorion has achieved a significant improvement in output and extended operating time compared to conventional batteries. It lacks confidentiality because it emits light when it is in operation, but it has been adopted as it is because of the opinion of a dedicated pilot that it is cool.
The NE shield can expand the tip to oscillate the beam saber, and a claw device can be attached as an option.
Full burst. A needle-shaped beam is emitted from the beam wing. Since it puts a heavy load on the aircraft, it can be activated only 3 times in one sortie.
Vixtea striker. Naturally, it was developed on the premise of operation as a fighter. Other striker packs can be attached to the strike body only on the back and arms.
Optional anti-ship sword equipment. A readjustment of the IWSP-adopted armament. Ambidextras Halberd mode was also installed with the intention of a full-time pilot.

It’s been more than a year since the Flathead County Library System rebranded as ImagineIF Libraries, and library officials consider the new marketing and program-heavy style a success.
“It’s been a huge success,” ImagineIF director Kim Crowley said. “The whole mood has changed here; it is more alive, it’s a lot more fun.”
On Jan. 13, 2014, the county library system, which includes libraries in Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Bigfork, and Marion, rebranded as ImagineIF Libraries, putting a focus on community-building endeavors and changing up some of the stale tropes of libraries, such as making a library a place to have boisterous fun, instead of a place one is punished for being too noisy.
While the mood may have changed, there are also quantifiable data to back up Crowley’s assertion of success. In the calendar year of 2013, 13,688 people participated in library programs in all branches. After the rebranding in 2014, that number jumped to 22,432 people, representing a roughly 42 percent increase.
“Our program attendance is up 47 percent for the first six months of this fiscal year, from last July to January,” Crowley said.
There were 579 programs run in 2014, compared to 446 in 2013.
Circulation numbers – meaning the numbers tracking the books and other media people are borrowing from the libraries – are staying relatively flat, which Crowley said was more of a positive indicator than a negative, since many libraries are seeing dwindling circulations.
There was a 1 percent increase in circulation in calendar year 2014 over 2013, with 574,233 items borrowed last year versus the 569,533 in 2013.
Digital content has increased by 23 percent from 2013 to 2014, and the number of people accessing the libraries’ wifi connections increased by 27 percent as well. The number of people using the libraries’ computers, however, decreased by 4 percent, likely due to more people bringing in their own Internet-capable devices, Crowley said.
The rebranding has also sparked a new round of donations from new sources, Crowley said. The response to the library’s annual donation appeal letter, sent out in December, garnered 36 new donors for a total of $19,225, and returning donors increased their financial gifts by $3,850.
But many of the successes of the rebranding aren’t quantifiable, Crowley said.
“Mostly, the programs are really what show a lot more people coming to the library. A lot of people talking about the library in a positive way,” she said. “And staff morale is really high.”
Part of the staff boost comes from the new policy that there are no more late fees at ImagineIF libraries, which started with the rebranding. It’s been working well, Crowley said, though it was a bit of a new concept for many library users.
“It was a little confusing at the beginning because people thought, ‘Oh, I never have to return my books,'” she said. “People really like it and staff really like it because they’re having positive interactions with customers.”
Library staff also has more time to perform their assigned tasks because they aren’t dealing with angry or confused customers, or trying to explain where a 20-cent charge came from.
In a recent library application for a marketing award, one staff member summed it up thusly: “It’s been a complete 180 degrees from when I started here 10 years ago, from a library with books to a library that is alive, hopping, changing, and vibrant.”
The Kalispell library will host the sixth annual fundraiser, Loud at the Library, on March 19. Tickets are available at the business office at the Kalispell location or by calling 758-5821. Last year, the fundraiser included 300 attendees and raised more than $17,000 for the ImagineIF Library Foundation.

French manufacturer SAFRA is to deliver 10 HYCITY hydrogen buses to Keolis. The 10 vehicles will be destined for Clermont Auvergne Métropole and SMTC-AC, who will operate them on a hydrogen line of the T2C network, line 35-36. This new order completes the SAFRA order book already for 2024. This acquisition is part of the InspiRe energy transition project, with Keolis as prime contractor.
The InspiRe project involves the development of a unique and innovative ecosystem dedicated to hydrogen, from the production of 100% carbon-free energy (Gravanches station), to the fuelling of the vehicle fleet (Cournon-d'Auvergne compression and distribution station), as well as the commissioning of 10 new buses and 4 retrofitted coaches. It is an initiative by Clermont Auvergne Métropole and Syndicat Mixte des Transports en Commun de l'Agglomération Clermontoise's (SMTC-AC) as
part of a global project with the aim of bringing together all the facets of a complete hydrogen ecosystem. Keolis will coordinate all the partner companies involved in the implementation of the project, from the production of renewable hydrogen, to the fuelling of the fleet and the sharing of acquired experience. The 10 new HYCITY buses will be delivered to Keolis mid-2024 and replaces its predecessor, Businova. The vehicles are supplied including a full maintenance contract.
