Looking at the state of waste on the island, here are 10 reasons why we need industrial composting.
In Reinventing Phuket I wrote that COVID-19 has given the island the opportunity to reinvent itself and build a greener future by introducing sustainable industries into the economy so that it does not depend solely on mass tourism and real estate.
The question is where to start? The waste management infrastructure is a starting point. To say that Phuket has a waste problem is an understatement. Before the pandemic struck, it produced 700 to 1000 tons of waste per day. Most of this waste ends up in a landfill or is incinerated. However, four of Phuket’s five landfills are already full, and the two good incinerators only have a combined capacity of about 700 tons per day. There is a third broken incinerator, but its repair would cost 530 million baht. However, from an environmental and health perspective, burning and landfilling are not the best options, as they both release greenhouse gases and toxins, which can lead to climate change, asthma, heart disease and cancer.
So what can we do? Meet Martin Hauke, composting expert, originally from Germany, he has been a resident of Phuket since 2007. He is the inventor of Mobile ventilated floor composting system (MAF), which includes several pipes with holes placed on the ground and connected to a ventilator. The pipes are covered with organic waste and then pumped with hot air which heats the pile, pasteurizes it and promotes the growth of bacteria that break it down for eight weeks. What is left is high-quality, nutrient-rich compost that can be sold to farmers and gardeners.
Since 50-60% of municipal waste is organic, we could eliminate Phuket’s waste problem in an environmentally friendly way, and at an estimated cost of 275 million B, it costs a fraction of what it would cost to repair. the incinerator. Combine it with a curbside recycling program and we could eliminate 80-90% of Phuket’s waste. Hauke’s system has also proven its worth with more than 30 projects across Germany and Australia.
Here are some of the advantages of industrial composting:
1. A cleaner island – This would mean more trash cans and bags with rubbish dumped on the ground or animals knocking them over while looking for food, less smells of wet rubbish and less rats and other pests.
2. Jobs – Hauke ââestimates that between 100 and 200 new jobs to manage the system, collect and transport waste and make compost could be created. We can also combine the composting system with a recycling center and hazardous waste disposal to make it a complete waste management facility.
3. Reduction of waste management costs – Composting costs a fraction of the 530mn B to repair the incinerator, and it would pay for itself in 10 to 15 years by selling the compost. Hauke ââcould set up a test site for a reasonable budget of $ 1.5 million for a year and, if approved, we can slowly expand it by spreading the cost of building the facility over several years.
4. Ocean and cleaner beaches – Non-overflowing trash cans mean less waste is blown into the ocean, which means less plastic waste on beaches. A British study says 80% of ocean plastic comes from the land. Using organic compost means that farmers no longer need to rely on chemical fertilizers and can use fewer pesticides, so they don’t end up in the ocean causing algae and sea ââurchin blooms.
5. Healthier food and higher profits – Using organic compost instead of chemical fertilizers leads to more microbes in the soil. This increases the farmer’s yield and produces food with more nutrients at a lower cost since farmers no longer need to buy fertilizer. It would also reduce the use of pesticides since healthier plants require less protection. Thailand is the fourth largest user of pesticides worldwide and maximum residual levels are often higher than what is considered healthy levels.
6. Cleaner air – By composting, we could not only eliminate toxins released by incinerators, but we could also stop the burning of organic waste mixed with plastic that is so prevalent on the island.
7. It fights climate change – Compost reduces greenhouse gas emissions in several ways. First, it removes organic waste from landfills, reducing the leakage of methane, which is 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Second, it removes fertilizers, which release nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 300 times more powerful than CO2. Finally, healthy soil means a better mycelial network (fungal root system) that manages 50 to 70% of the CO2 that trees and plants sequester.
8. Less droughts – Compost can hold 20 times its weight in water. This means that the soil absorbs more, which fills underground aquifers, ponds and lakes. Since some of the rain comes from these sources, compost can improve the water cycle.
9. He teaches science – Composting is an opportunity to teach how microbes break down organic waste and turn it into something useful. It can reconnect people to an important natural process.
10. Economic benefits – Besides providing jobs, composting means a cleaner island with better infrastructure which could lead to more visitors and investors.
In the future, the ground could even supply Phuket. The start Bioo uses microbes to generate clean electricity that solves the problems of pollution and intermittence of other renewable energies.
From a cost benefit perspective, industrial composting is one of the best things we can do to make our island cleaner, more sustainable and more livable and it will improve the economy while eliminating the waste problem.

The Nets pulled together for a late season run to the playoffs and pushed the top-seeded Hawks in the opening round, but this wasn’t a successful season, GM Billy King said today to reporters, including Newsday’s Roderick Boone, at his end-of-season press conference (Twitter link). The GM didn’t address rumors that he’s close to an extension, but he had many more revelatory comments, as we’ll run down here. All links go to Twitter, unless otherwise noted:
- The team’s long-term plan is to build around Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young, King said, according to Andy Vasquez of The Record. Lopez and Young haven’t made decisions about their respective player options yet, but King said the Nets want them back regardless of whether they opt in or not, notes Tim Bontemps of the New York Post.
- King said the Nets explored trading every player on the roster at some point during the season, Boone notes, and King wouldn’t rule out trades when he added that the team would continue to look into all possibilities with Lopez, Deron Williams and Joe Johnson, observes Devin Kharpertian of The Brooklyn Game.
- Brooklyn, slated to pick 29th and 41st overall in June, will continue an annual tradition of trying to trade up, King said, as Kharpertian relays, but the GM insisted he’ll value draft assets more highly than in the past. “I don’t expect us to be trading any of [our future draft picks],” King said, according to Kharpertian. “We’ve done that.”
- The Nets will extend the more than $4.21MM qualifying offer required to match competing NBA offers for Mirza Teletovic in free agency this summer, King confirmed, nonetheless adding that the market will dictate the forward’s next deal, as Bontemps notes.
- The team would like a new deal with Alan Anderson, King said, according to Lenn Robbins of Nets.com, but the GM also said that the swingman may need a procedure on his ankle to deal with bone spurs, Bontemps observes.
- The goal is to avoid the luxury tax next season, and the repeat-offender penalties that would come with it, but the Nets will stay above the tax line if it’s the right thing to do, according to King, as Kharpertian relays. That’s similar to what owner Mikhail Prokhorov said last month (non-Twitter link), but it conflicts with what Bontemps has heard (non-Twitter link) from sources who’ve said the team has no interest in remaining a taxpayer.
- King said the Nets can’t keep turning the roster over from year to year and added that internal improvement is necessary, Boone notes. King pointed to rookies Bojan Bogdanovic, Markel Brown and Cory Jefferson as players who can be parts of the rotation going forward, according to Bontemps.

Luxor Las Vegas Hotel & Casino
As one of the southernmost hotels on the Strip, the Luxor is less crowded than some of the more centrally located resorts. Of particular note are its two acclaimed attractions, Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition and Bodies: The Exhibition. You may also want to visit for its entertainment, as the hotel is home to longtime Vegas comedian Carrot Top, Blue Man Group, and a topless revue, plus several bars and clubs.
If you just want to see the hotel from the outside—either from the ground or up in the air—book a hop-on hop-off tour or a helicopter night flight. For a guided experience that includes the Luxor, consider a bar crawl or photography tour, depending on your interests.

What Happens If My VAT Return Is Late?

10 Minute Read
As a business owner, you are responsible for making sure your VAT returns are submitted (and your tax bills are paid) on time. If your organisation exceeds the VAT registration threshold (currently set at £85,000 as of 2019/20), you’ll be required to pay VAT.
How much VAT you owe is determined by filling out a VAT return usually once every three months. This process lets HMRC know your total sales and purchases, and therefore the amount of VAT you owe, can reclaim, and the amount of any VAT refund from HMRC.
The deadline for your VAT return is generally one calendar month and seven days after the end of a VAT reporting period.
But what happens if your VAT return is late? In this blog, we emphasise why judicious VAT returns and payments are essential, and what the consequences can be when you miss one.
First, You’ll Receive A Reminder Letter
Completing the VAT tax return and paying VAT might sound like a pain… but it’s actually a piece of cake. Any payment can be made either by setting up a direct debit with HMRC, the easiest way not to forget to pay, or online through the HMRC portal
It’s also worth noting that HMRC isn’t the cold organisation that many people make it out to be – they actually understand that mistakes can happen.
If you haven’t missed the due date before, they’ll probably give you a bit of leeway on submitting a late VAT return. Instead of an immediate fine, you’ll likely just receive a polite but firm warning that you need to prioritise being timely with your tax responsibilities.
A VAT return reminder letter will turn up on your doormat, explaining that your VAT is now late, and you need to quickly bring your account up to date.
Provided you take prompt action, you won’t acquire any surcharges…
Ignore This, And You’ll Enter The Surcharge Period
If you don’t take this written warning seriously enough and end up filing your VAT return late again, you will be punished with a year-long probation known as the VAT return surcharge period.
The surcharge period applies to all businesses but the rules vary depending upon your business turnover
Failure to meet any HMRC deadlines during this probationary period will result in you accruing fines. Simply put – with every missed payment comes a higher fine.
A late VAT return during the surcharge period can begin a detrimental domino effect – so whatever you do, don’t delay.
Repeatedly File A VAT Return Late, And Penalty Charges Will Increase
If your VAT return is repeatedly late and you keep missing deadlines, the size of the fine you’ll pay during the surcharge period will increase.
|Defaults within 12 months||Surcharge if annual turnover is less than £150,000||Surcharge if annual turnover is £150,000 or more|
|2nd||No surcharge||2% (no surcharge if this is less than £400)|
|3rd||2% (no surcharge if this is less than £400)||10% or £30 (whichever is more)|
|4th||5% (no surcharge if this is less than £400)||10% or £30 (whichever is more)|
|5th||10% or £30 (whichever is more)||15% or £30 (whichever is more)|
|6 or more||15% of £30 (whichever is more)||15% of £30 (whichever is more)|
This graph was taken from: www.gov.uk
It is worth noting that even though you may have filed a VAT return late there will be no surcharges to pay if you paid your VAT on time, are due a refund or have no VAT to pay.
In addition to surcharges for late submission and payment of your VAT, you can also be penalised.
HMRC can charge penalties up to 100% of any VAT return that they believe to be carelessly or deliberately inaccurate. There’s also a hefty £400 penalty for anyone who sends their VAT return by paper. Since Making Tax Digital for VAT came into force, the process must be done online. The only exception is if your organisation has been informed – by HMRC themselves – that paper returns are being accepted.
You may be able to appeal against a penalty in some cases. However, proving that you’ve missed all these VAT deadlines with a series of ‘reasonable excuses’ is often very difficult. HMRC will, however, accept that situations involving connection problems or a sudden crisis can be a cause of a late return or payment, inaccuracies or a failure to keep adequate records.
Everything You Need To Know
The simple truth is that the taxman won’t tolerate late VAT payments.
The more deadlines you miss, the bigger the surcharge you’ll receive. It doesn’t take long for these surcharges to take their toll on the financial state of your business. That’s why it’s crucial to be prepared for VAT returns right from the very beginning.
If you’re concerned about falling behind on your VAT commitments, there are a number of actions you can take to prevent yourself from getting into difficulties. Firstly, you can set up email reminders via the HMRC online portal – which nudge you before a deadline so that you don’t forget about it.
You can also speak to HMRC about a Time to Pay (TTP) arrangement. These can be organised if you can prove your company is profitable and is just experiencing cash flow problems (rather than nearing insolvency).
TTPs involve spreading your VAT payments across a longer period of time than is ordinarily permitted. This can help you avoid late fees from accumulating – although it’s worth bearing in mind that HMRC will perform a rigorous check into your finances to make sure you meet their TTP criteria.
Last but not least – there’s GoSimpleVAT. Our bridging software offers you a fast and stress-free way to submit your VAT returns online and on time. All your details are sent directly to HMRC, and there’s even email support and guidance available along the way.

As the name implies, spread footing is designed to spread out or evenly distribute the load to a wider area as it enters the ground. Pier footing and post footing are different from spread footings in that they are not flared at the bottom to give them more carrying capacity. The wider area that spread concrete footing has at the bottom greatly increases the carrying capacity of the ground providing more stability to the structure. The concrete footing details below, spot footing detail 2 and continuous footing detail 1 are examples of spread cement footings.By widening the contact area between spread cement footings and the soil, it greatly increases it's load carrying capacity. For example, a 12 inch diameter pier footing has 113 square inches contact area with the ground, compared to 2304 square inches contact area of the spot footing shown in detail 2. For a 5000 pounds load, detail 2 will exerts 2.17 psi of pressure on the soil versus 44.2 psi, 22 times greater by the 12 inch diameter pier.
Details 1 and 2 are the most commonly used spreading footers details. Vast majority of both commercial and residential structures use combination of these two details.
The continuous footing detail 1 is mainly used to support foundation walls, bearing walls, shear walls, etc. These continuous footings can also be found at braced frames which is a major element in the lateral supporting element of a structure. These footings more often than not are found at the perimeter of a house or building.
The spot footings Detail 2 is mainly used to support columns or posts for both residential and commercial structures. Spot footings take the point loads from a column and spread them to a wider area thereby increasing the ability of the soil to carry more weight also stabilizes the structure.
Where moment framed structure is used, spot footings can be reinforced to resist moment forces generated by wind load or earthquake load. These are usually shown with layers of reinforcements on top of the footings. The intend is when the footing is subjected to uplift load, the top face of the footing is experiencing upward pull which will put the top of the footing in tension, thus the top reinforcements.

Minerva woman with gift of talking with animals devotes time to rescuing dogs
She always had a special connection to dogs. In fact, her mother claimed her childhood dog, which she calls "Nana," helped raise her. It is no surprise that Dr. Victoria Summers now spends much of her time trying to save the four-legged, furry companions she loves.
As a child of Native American descent who grew up on a reservation, Summers said she always talked to the animals and was born with the gift of communicating with them.
"I have heard and felt the animals all of my life," she said. "I do believe that being in a traditional Native American Indian family, where such a concept as communicating with animals is as natural as breathing, has made a profound difference."
It wasn't until she went off to school that she learned that not everyone talked to animals the way she did. While some still see Summers' ability as odd or may not believe it at all, there are plenty who ask her what their own animals are thinking. A few decades ago, she started to help people better understand their animals by giving formal readings. She said people request readings for many reasons, from lost pets to illnesses unable to be determined by allopathic medicine, to death and dying, to just everyday questions and concerns and always to tell them that they are loved and appreciated.
Her special connection to animals eventually led Summers to veterinary school. But after two years, she decided she couldn't handle the euthanasia of healthy animals, which caused her to switch to people medicine, becoming a naturopathic doctor. Since she has "semi-retired," she has been able to devote more of her time to what she describes as her destiny -- animal rescue.
Her first attempt at animal rescue came when she was in veterinary school, where she teamed up with other veterinary students to help rescue several dogs that were being used in laboratory testing. Summers later set her focus on puppy mills and she worked with humane society officers to expose them and rescue the dogs. Through the years, she also volunteered and helped rescue organizations. Eventually, she started doing pound rescue and became the director of her own rescue.
Just what is rescue? Summers said, surprisingly, people often don't know.
"I'm still asked if our dogs rescued anyone during 9/11," she said. Rescues seem to be one of those best-kept secrets. Other than those involved in the process, often people just don't understand what it is.
"There are a hundred hands in the chain of rescue," Summers said. From spotters to evaluators, pullers to transporters, each rescue takes a group of dedicated volunteers. The intent of these volunteers is to save one life at a time.
Animals end up in shelters for many reasons, often through no fault of their own. Summers told of strays getting tossed out of moving car windows, dumped off on side roads, shot at, beaten, abused or just turned in by owners who no longer have time for them due to a new baby, a new job, a new boyfriend or girlfriend, a new hobby, or any number of reasons.
"This is a 'throw-away' society and everything is up for the trash pile," she said.
For many animals who end up at a pound or shelter, rescue is their last hope. "All real efforts to save the animal's life falls into the hands of rescue -- the grassroots efforts by common everyday human beings with hearts," she said. "Caring people go to their local county dog pounds armed with digital cameras, leashes, dog treats and a heart full of compassion."
The network of volunteers involved in rescue begins its efforts by keeping tabs on which animals are in danger of being euthanized at local pounds or shelters. They take photos and spread the word, hoping someone will adopt them. If they are not adopted, they attempt to pull the dogs from the shelter before their time is up, which involves paying fees to the shelter and purchasing a dog license. The animals are then transported to a rescue facility or a foster home, sometimes hours away.
But the work doesn't stop there. "Rescue isn't rescue until that animal is placed in a forever home -- a loving, caring proper forever home -- for life," Summers said.
In order to find homes, volunteers often post listings at Internet sites like Petfinder.com or 1800SaveAPet.com and the search begins.
Rescuing dogs is a job that never ends. With an overpopulation problem that has led to millions of homeless pets euthanized each year, rescues across the country seem to be attempting the impossible, but the good-hearted volunteers are doing their best to save as many as they can.
Across the country there are multi-breed rescues, as well as breed-specific rescues.
It is the border collie that was Summers' first love -- in the form of her "Nana" -- and for that reason, the breed has been the main focus of her rescue efforts for the past 15 years. Three-and-a-half years ago, Summers, who was living in Poland, bought a house on a large acreage of farmland in Minerva, which she calls Indian Summers. The facility currently houses 22 rescued border collies (which includes mixes) and one of her own. Summers said she adopts out more than 150 dogs each year.
Border collies are known for their high intelligence, natural herding instincts, and athleticism, often excelling at agility and Frisbee. But while they are indeed a special breed, they are not for everyone. With their high energy, intelligence, and intense drive, the breed needs physical and mental exercise, and often a job to do.
"There's a dog for every person, but not every person is for every dog and certainly not this breed," Summers said. "Border collies are absolutely the smartest of the canine species," she said. In fact, her number one criteria for potential adopters is that they should be at least half as smart as the border collie she's placing with them.
Summers claims it is not hard to give up the dogs when she does place them. "Because I love them, I place their lives into the hands of families that God sends," she said. "I screen and the dog says 'yes, I want to go home with this one.'"
While it is rewarding finding homes for animals who were once "death row" dogs, it is also costly to rescuers. To help defray medical costs such as spaying or neutering, fees of pulling the dogs from shelters and the cost of meeting the animals' basic needs while taking care of them, rescues often depend on fundraising opportunities and donations. In addition to donations and fundraising opportunities, area rescues are always in need of volunteers for many different capacities.

text: In our observation of leukemia and malignant lymphoma, many cases with slight changes in the IgM precipitation line ("abnormal IgM"), suggestive of small amounts of M-component, were detected by immunoelectrophoretic analysis. In these cases, determination of the light chain type seemed necessary for the diagnosis of M-component. However, typing was difficult by conventional methods because of the low amount of M-component. In this report, a new method for typing of the light chain of the IgM type of M-component, using FITC labelled anti-light chain specific antisera, is discussed. With this method, the light chain type of M-component was determined by the difference in strength of FITC specific fluorescence between the reaction of FITC conjugated anti-kappa and -lambda chain sera at the abnormal parts of the immune precipitation, which were prepared by agar immunoelectrophoresis using antiheavy chain specific antisera. This method was applied to 11 cases with usual M-component, in which the light chain types were determined only by agar immunoelectrophoresis utilizing anti-light chain specific antisera or by combination with gel-filtration. In all cases, the types were determined in agreement with previous methods. Compared with cellulose acetate electrophoresis or agar immunoelectrophoresis using anti-heavy chain specific antisera, the immunofluorescent method had a sensitivity similar to agar immunoelectrophoresis and more sensitive than cellulose acetate electrophoresis. This method was applied to 7 cases with "abnormal IgM" which were found in leukemia and malignant lymphoma. In all 7 cases, differences in the strength of FITC specific fluorescence at the abnormal parts of the precipitation line were observed. As a result, 1 case with both kappa and lambda types, 2 cases with the kappa type and 4 cases with the lambda type of M-component were found. These results indicate the usefulness of this method for light chain typing of low amounts of M-component with IgM type. It seems likely that the slight changes in the IgM precipitation line, detected in leukemia and malignant lymphoma, result from M-components.


Multiple references have been found in iOS 16 showing an always-on display feature being developed for the iPhone 14 Pro.
iOS 16 has just been announced at WWDC 2022. In the developer beta, 9to5Mac discovered multiple references that confirm iOS 16 does indeed support the always-on display feature.
Specifically, there are newly added frames related to the backlight management on the iPhone screen. Backlight management is an important “key” to enable the always-on display feature.
In addition, with the latest software update, Apple engineers can also test this feature on currently unsupported devices such as the iPhone 13 Pro.
Before that, some rumors said that iPhone 14 Pro Launching this fall may be supported with the always-on display feature. Combined with the redesigned lock screen on iOS 16, the always-on display allows users to quickly view useful information without having to unlock the iPhone.
However, not all upcoming iPhone 14 models have always-on display. Follow Bloombergthe always-on display feature is only available for 2 iPhone model High-end is iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max only.

Myanmar is full of fabulous locations brimming with beauty, be it either of a cultural or natural kind. However, the Irrawaddy River has a privileged place in the Myanmar consciousness, and there's no better way to become attuned with the enchanting rhythm of this country than by floating upstream on its waters for 1 week. And, in turn, there is clearly no better way to do this than on the un-rivalled luxury of the Amara cruises. This is the way to really experience Myanmar: a cruise taking you past colourful little towns, stately old capitals, and some of the most exquisite scenery that this part of the world can offer. Step on board: timeless memories await.

Example Trip to customize
One enormous bell on an enormous day
It is time to get on board with a voyage that you will be able to tell your grandkids again and again without fear of boring them. You will embark in the morning at eight bells, heading north out of Mandalay on the storied Irrawaddy River, stopping off along the way to see all 90 tons of the still-functioning Mingun Bell. There is also the Shin Phyume Pagoda to marvel at, as well as the enormous Mingun Pagoda. These are but the highlights of this your first cruising day, already leaving you with plenty to muse over as you reach the town of Shinemaga in the afternoon.
Potter around a pottery village
Your luxury craft will leave Shinemaga bright and early at six in the morn, as you continue to sail through heart-achingly beautiful scenery. A visit to the pottery village of Nwe Nyeain will give you an insight into this craft of similar beauty, from where you will pass the Third Defile. Upon doing so, you will notice that the banks are getting pretty - and prettily - hilly, and that said hills are covered with rich forests of teak. Wave at the villagers plying their timber and fishing trades as you pass gthier homes, before your wown floating home-away-from-home moors on the banks of the Irrawaddy for the night.
Walking through Tagaung's history
It is another early morning for setting sail on your way upstream. This will get you to Tagaung, one of old Myanmar's oldest capitals in time to fit in all the excursions around this beautiful town you really need to take, before heading back on-deck for another night of river-borne luxury.
The literary history of friendly Katha
Be careful. You could just get used to cruising up the majestic Irrawaddy, and today's segment of the journey is not going to change this situation. Today, you will stop at the little town of Katha, with its colourful market, friendly folk, and distinctive atmosphere; an atmosphere that moved George Orwell enough to write Burmese Days. You will have plenty of opportunity to be moved, yourself, as the Amara moors itself near Katha's harbour for the night.
Thousands of Shwe Baw Kyunn pagodas
Once you have taken your leave of Katha this morning, it is time to look down into the Irrawaddy's waters themselves, because what emerges from them around these parts may just give you a bit of a surprise. The Irrawaddy Dolphin makes it home in these waters, and you would be fairly unlucky if you did not come across at least one of them frolicking in the current. As you near Shwegu, your craft will pull up alongside the river bank, allowing the vista of pagodas in their thousands to open before you. Have your camera ready.
Northwards to Bhamo
The Second Defile will be passed by your trusty boat today, after which, the Irrawaddy's banks will rise sharply around you, until they have become steeply impressive cliffs; there are few sights more impressive. Before you know it, the Amara will have made it all the way to Bhamo, which is about as far north as a vessel of this size and comfort can reach.

Weekend lockdown, night curfew in Maharashtra amid COVID-19 spike
The Maharashtra government on Sunday announced fresh curbs in light of the COVID-19 situation in the state. Maharashtra is notably the worst-hit Indian state, accounting for more than half the number of new infections across the country. The state will also witness a "strict lockdown" over the weekends, along with a night curfew. The decision was taken during a state Cabinet meeting on Sunday.
Shopping malls, bars, restaurants only open for takeaways/parcels
The state government has ordered a night curfew from 8 pm to 7 am and a weekend lockdown—only essential services will be allowed—from 8 pm on Friday to 7 am on Monday. Starting Monday, shopping malls, bars, restaurants, etc., will only be open for takeaways and parcels. Gatherings of five or more people will remain prohibited throughout the day under IPC Section 144.
Places of worship, parks, gyms to be shut
Government offices will function at 50% capacity, while only work-from-home is allowed for private offices. Places of worship, parks/playgrounds, salons/beauty parlors, gymnasiums, and indoor sports will remain closed. Political rallies will be banned. Public transport will run at 50% capacity. Film shoots will be allowed without crowds. Theatres will be shut. Housing societies with five or more COVID-19 cases will be declared containment zones.
Central teams to reach Maharashtra, Punjab, Chhattisgarh
The decision came after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray led the Cabinet meeting on Sunday to discuss the COVID-19 situation. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had chaired a high-level meeting, where it was decided that central teams comprising public health specialists and clinicians will be sent to Maharashtra, along with Punjab and Chhattisgarh.
Maharashtra reports record 57K+ new cases
On Sunday, Maharashtra reported 57,074 new cases—the biggest single-day spike so far—and 222 fresh fatalities. The state's total tally has now climbed to 30,10,597, including 55,878 deaths, and 4,30,503 active cases. State capital Mumbai reported 11,163 fresh infections on Sunday, the biggest spike so far, and 25 new deaths. The city's tally has reached 4,52,445, including 11,776, and 68,052 active cases.


Georgia lawmakers have proposed a new law which would make all semi trucks traveling 10 mph above the speed limit a “super speeder.”
Under current state law, anyone driving over 85 miles per hour on a highway in Georgia is considered a super speeder and subject to additional fines and penalties. Convicted super speeders are required to pay a $200 fee, in addition to the normal speeding ticket fines.
Under the new proposal, any commercial vehicle traveling 10 mph above the posted limit would also be considered a super speeder. The proposal does not affect passenger vehicles.
This means if a semi truck and passenger vehicle were both doing 65 mph in a 55 mph zone, only the semi truck would be considered a super speeder, even though both vehicles were traveling at the same speed.
Rep. Ron Stephens, (R-Savannah) proposed the bill as a result of the April 22 semi truck crash that resulted in the death of five nursing students.
The proposal has received support from both republicans and democrats in the state.

Printernational offers a set of tips and guidelines to help you while designing a business card. Keep in mind that these are guidelines only, not rules.
Graphic design is not an exact science and todays standards might not be there anymore tomorrow. If you have any feedback or questions on the following information dont hesitate tocontact us.
The most important element on business cards are text sizes. If your text is too small, clients might struggle to read information on the cards. There should be a visual balance between the size and position of the address and the name and title.
For determining the sizes of your typography keep the following tips in mind. Font sizes are indicated in points.
Address and Phone contact elements should be 7 to 8 point
Name should be 1 point bigger or set in a bold typeface
The title could be the size point size as your address details or 1 point smaller
If needed the Company Name should have a minimum of 12 point
Like any other design you might make a business card will look messy and untidy if you would go with a different text sizes for everything. Try to go for a typographic consistent design. If the logo you are using has a tag line or payoff try working around that font size in your details.
Different font weights and sizes on business cards.
The address information should not be smaller then 6 points, or 5 point if you are setting in capitals. Anything below this will be hard to read. Add 1 point if you are setting your typography inverted (light typography on a dark background).
Its common to see professionals – such as doctors, lawyers and architects – using smaller type sizes for contact information.
An example of inverted typography on a business card.
While its logical to look at the typeface suggested in the corporate identity (if available) those can be header-only fonts. Be sure to work with a font on the business card thats designed for print.
Some fonts tend to print smaller in the same point then others. The font Copperplate for example will look like 6 point while set in 7 point. Keep this in mind while testing your card (see the next chapter).
Be sure to print your business card a couple of times while designing it. Even take some effort to cut away the rest of the paper to see if the layout balances well.
A business card surrounded by a lot of white space (e.a. your printing paper) may seem different to the eye then the design cut out off actual size cards.
The following is a list of information commonly found on business cards:
When display telephone and fax numbers its useful to start them with Tel (or T) and Fax (or F) to indicate what the number is for. Its common to see the same done with the email (E) and Internet address (I). The latter is not exactly needed but done with constancy in mind.
Telephone numbers are usually broken up with spaces to increase readability. Take the following phone number for example:
Broken up in pieces that would look something like these examples:
In international phone numbers you can replace the 00 for a + symbol (the example above is a random number in Germany). If your client is working overseas its a good idea to use a international phone number. In Europe its common to see international number notations.
Example of a phone number broken up in pieces.

Amsterdam based jeans makers Denham have teamed up with Converse to produce 2 pairs of limited edition Jack Purcell’s. A historic trainer that dates back to the 1930’s, these cotton canvas classics started off on the badminton courts and slowly transcended to the city streets.
The Converse Jack Purcell x Denham sneaker’s classic canvas upper is the perfect textural complement to thoughtfully crafted denim. The clean white midsole is offset by a solid black toe, while the outsole is enhanced by an embossed leather Jack Purcell logo, inspired by the leather patches sewn onto the waistband of a pair of jeans. A contrasting top eyelet brings to mind a pocket rivet; the kind of detailing that draws in a more discerning eye. Denham’s own nod to the famed Jack Purcell toecap is seen on the heel, where their illustrative scissor logo is reconfigured to make the cutting shears “smile.”
The limited Converse Jack Purcell x Denham pack launches on April 11th and will only be available at the Offspring Selfridges London store.
The fusion of high fashion with our favourite sneaker brands always manages to deliver and the latest collaboration sees Converse join forces with avant garde French fashion house, Maison Martin Margiela. As part of Converse First String this limited edition collection celebrates craftsmanship, authenticity and collaboration at the highest level.
The first time collaboration features the Chuck Taylor All Star and Jack Purcell silhouettes, which are each completely hand painted in Maison Martin Marigiela’s iconic white paint. Coating the entire upper, eyelets, laces and soles, the paint will naturally crack with wear to reveal the original colours beneath.
Founded in 1988, Maison Martin Margiela is a fashion house that often sits outside the conventional fashion framework. An architect of fashion, the collections are well known for reinventing silhouettes, modifying shapes and changing the original use and movement of garments.
Their identity aligns perfectly with Converse’s philosophy of being a platform for creativity. “The Maison has always been obsessed with white; it is used as a layer to give an incognito feeling. A sort of poetry, with the passage of time, the shoe asserts itself” says Maison Martin Margiela.
These unique styles will be available in 4 colour ways from Converse’s archives; red, black, navy and Margiela exclusive vintage yellow and are all lined in premium off-white leather.
This pack will only be available in store at Selfridges London, from 20th September 2013.
The latest collaboration from Converse Jack Purcell meets the worldly heritage of Canada’s Hudson’s Bay Company. They have taken the iconic multi-stripe blanket with the equally iconic Jack Purcell trainer, executed in the Hudson’s Bay primary signature colours. For the first time ever, the classic woollen blanket is used in these unique styles for Autumn 2013.
Taking the unisex Jack Purcell and women’s Helen models, each style embodies the Hudson’s Bay wool point blanket stripes, featuring threaded stitching, antique brass eyelets, Jack Purcell and Hudson’s Bay logos and an official “Seal of Quality” maintaining the authenticity of Hudson’s Bay Company.
Founded in 1670 Hudson’s Bay Company is one of North America’s oldest lifestyle brands and for more than two centuries the point blanket has been a familiar staple in homes across Canada and around the World. Mirroring the iconic design, the wool used on the trainers is dyed before it is spun and is air and sun dried to brighten the colours.
The Converse Jack Purcell X Hudson’s Bay Company collection will be available from Offspring Selfridge’s London.

General Motors is recalling more than 217,000 cars and SUVs because of a transmission oil can leak that causes the vehicles to stop moving or even catch fire.
The automobile giant’s recalls, which are expected to begin Dec. 14, affect vehicles in the United States and Canada, according to The Associated Press.
The recall includes certain versions of 2018 through 2020 Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse models, along with the GMC Terrain, the AP reported. Other models include the 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and 2018 and 2019 Chevrolet Cruze and Buick LaCrosse. Buick Encores and Enclaves from 2019 and 2020, the Cadillac XT4, GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Blazer are also affected, along with the 2020 Cadillac XT6.
According to government documents posted last weekend, two bolts may be missing from the vehicles' stop-start mechanism, the AP reported. The missing bolts allow the transmission fluid to leak.
GM said it has not received any reports of injuries, fires or crashes, according to the AP.

The Mall at the Source in Westbury is still up for sale.
After finding no buyers willing to pay $148 million for the nearly vacant shopping center in an oversaturated retail market, the 15-year-old Source mall is now owned by a trust representing its lenders, known as CMAT 1999-C1 Old Country Road LLC.
In an auction Tuesday at Nassau County Supreme Court in Mineola that lasted little more than a minute, the trust, represented by attorney Scott Tross, outbid one other bidder for the property, paying $25.1 million.
The initial auction price of the mall represented $142 million in outstanding debt and $6 million in accrued interest.
During the next nine months the new owners are expected bring in new stores to prepare it for another eventual sale.
Real estate experts had said that the mall was on the verge of being 75 percent vacant by the end of the summer.

The best education is to understand that although your brain will experience changes in executive function, attention, memory, perception, motor skills and language there will also remain many strengths. Your brain is adaptive and will create new ways of communicating, growing and learning. There are support groups available for both persons’ living with dementia and family care partners that discuss the lived experienced and ways to continue living meaningful lives. Join an online community to connect with others living with dementia and exchange ideas and form meaningful relationships. If you are looking for an early-stage support group locally contact Judy Filippoff, MSW, Early Stage Program Coordinator at the Alzheimer’s Association at 800-272-3900.

Water level in the Yamuna breached the danger mark of 205.33 metres Monday, touching 205.36 metres. According to officials, the level could breach 207 metres on Tuesday evening.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to everyone living on the floodplains to evacuate the area and move to tents set up across the city.
Each year, the Delhi government undertakes a mammoth task of evacuating thousands of people from low-lying areas along the river till the water abates. This year, 2,120 shelters have been set up already. Kejriwal said the government has to evacuate 23,860 people from low-lying areas.
“I appeal to everyone living in these areas to move out and shift to tents. The government is providing all facilities possible there. Many times, people shuttle between tents and their houses but this is dangerous as the water level will rise suddenly,” he said.
Over 50 boats have also been stationed at critical points to prevent cases of drowning, officials said.
On Sunday evening, Haryana had released 8.28 lakh cusecs of water from Hathni Kund Barrage. This is the highest quantum of water released in the recent past, officials said. On Monday evening, another 1.47 lakh cusecs were released.
“Normally, water from Hathni Kund Barrage takes 72 hours to reach Delhi. The highest amount of water is expected to reach the national capital on Wednesday evening. Water level had started increasing at the barrage on Sunday morning,” said Haridev Kamboj, executive engineer of the water services division, Haryana’s irrigation department.
“Rains in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand contribute to water in the Yamuna. This time, a cloud burst coupled with heavy rains in Uttarakhand, apart from heavy rains in Himachal Pradesh, has led to highest flow of water in the river,” said Kamboj.
In 2013, the Yamuna’s water level had reached 207.32 m. At that time, Haryana had released 8.06 lakh cusecs in one go.
As the level rose, the Old Yamuna Bridge was also closed for traffic on Monday.

When it comes to creating a comfortable and inviting space for visitors, few areas are as important as a waiting room. A waiting room is the first place people go when they enter a business, and it’s essential to make sure the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
In this article, we’ll discuss how to decorate a waiting room to enhance the customer experience to ensure that the very first thought your customers have when entering your business is “wow, I chose the right people!”.
From furniture choices to color palettes, we’ll cover all the basics of how to make sure your waiting room is welcoming and comfortable for guests.
What are some important pieces of furniture for a welcoming waiting room?
A welcoming waiting room should include comfortable seating and a few pieces of furniture that make visitors feel at ease. A few important pieces of furniture for a waiting room include a reception desk to greet visitors, a few comfortable chairs, a few end tables with lamps, and a magazine rack with interesting reading material. If you’ve got a bit of extra capital to spend, having some form of television available is also a great idea since it will help people feel a bit more at home.
It is also important to add a few small plants and decorative touches such as artwork to create an inviting atmosphere. Additionally, adding a water cooler or coffee machine can help make visitors more comfortable and welcome.
Last but not least, an area rug can help tie together the look of the room and make it feel more homey. Adding a few cushions to the chairs can also provide a more comfortable experience for visitors. With the right pieces of furniture and décor, a waiting room can be a cozy and inviting place for visitors to wait.
How can I make my waiting room relaxing?
Making your waiting room relaxing is not all that different from making it feel welcoming.
Start by adding comfortable furniture such as sofas and armchairs. Then, incorporate natural elements such as plants, artwork, and mirrors to create a calming environment. Additionally, adding soft lighting and peaceful music can help create an even more tranquil atmosphere.
Lastly, adding a few decorative pieces such as throws, pillows, and rugs can help to tie the look together. By using the right design elements, a waiting room can be transformed into a relaxing and inviting space.
How should I organize a waiting room?
It is crucial to create an efficient and comfortable space when thinking about the optimal layout of your waiting room.
Start by determining the size and layout of the room, and then decide what kind of furniture and décor will be needed. It is also important to create an efficient flow of traffic, with clear pathways between furniture items. Finally, make sure to consider the type of clientele that will be visiting the waiting room, and choose furniture and décor that is appropriate for that demographic.
For example, if the waiting room is for a dental office, you may want to choose chairs and decor with a more professional look. Or, if you’re a pediatrician, ensuring to have some form of toys or games available for kids to play with is a great idea.
How can I incorporate plants into a waiting room design?
The main feeling we want to create in a waiting room, as aforementioned multiple times, is to be a welcoming and calming atmosphere. By adding plants to your waiting room, you can not only keep the air clean and fresh, but also add some natural ambiance.
Plants can be placed in the corners of the room, on end tables, or on the reception desk. They can also be hung from the ceiling or placed on shelves. For a more natural look, choose plants that have a variety of colors and textures. Alternatively, lush green plants can be used to create a more tranquil atmosphere. Incorporating plants into a waiting room design can also help improve air quality and reduce stress for visitors.
In addition to plants, adding accent pieces such as artwork, throws, and pillows can also help to create a more inviting space. To maximize the effect of plants, consider adding a few mirrors to reflect natural light and bring the outdoors in even more.
How should I design a waiting room with a specific color palette?
When designing a waiting room with a specific color palette, it is important to create a cohesive look that is both inviting and calming.
Start by selecting a few colors that complement each other, such as blues and greens or pinks and purples. Then, choose furniture and décor in those colors. For example, if you are using a blue and green palette, you could use a blue sofa and green armchairs. You can also add accent pieces such as pillows and throws in complementary colors. Lastly, make sure to incorporate the colors into the walls, flooring, and artwork.
What kind of lighting is best for a waiting room?
The kind of lighting that is best for your waiting room is frankly up to you. There are many different styles of lighting that you can incorporate, but we always recommend to make sure there is quite a bit of natural light coming in since natural light is, well, natural, and it isn’t too hard on the eyes.
Start by incorporating natural light by adding windows and skylights. Then, add a few lamps to the room to provide a softer, more diffused light. For a more modern look, consider adding track lighting or recessed lighting.
It is also important to consider the overall color palette when selecting lighting fixtures; warm tones such as yellows and oranges can help create a more inviting atmosphere.
All in all, creating an inviting waiting room is not that difficult. It will require a bit of careful planning to make sure that your color palette matches well in tandem with your lighting, waiting room layout, and reception desk, but incorporating elements like natural lighting, plants, and access to reading materials or televisions will almost certainly make anybody feel at home.

With history being rewritten extensively across the world to match political rhetoric, this was bound to happen sooner or later. Controversy and history text books are a match made in hell. Some years back, NCERT history books were in news for calling Bhagat Singh a terrorist and now, a reference book for Class 8 Social Studies has described freedom fighter Bal Gangadhar Tilak as the ‘father of terrorism’.
Released by a Mathura-based publisher, this book is being used by private English-medium schools affiliated to the Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE).
“Tilak demonstrated a path towards national movement, therefore, he is called as the father of terrorism.” reads page 267 of chapter 22 of the book.
Tilak’s description is part of sub-topic “Incidents of National Movement during the 18th and 19th century”.
“Tilak clearly believed that we cannot achieve anything just by pleading the British officers. Through Shivaji and Ganpati festivals, Tilak aroused unique awareness in the country. He instilled the mantra of freedom among the masses, due to which he became a thorn in the eyes of the British,” the book further reads.
Reacting to this, Private School Association Director, Kailash Sharma said, “Describing Tilak as the “father of terrorism” is highly condemnable. Before writing or making such controversial changes in texts, one should consult with the historians first.”

Welcome to GOLD by Green!
I decided I needed an outlet for my love of jewelry so here I am writing about it.
UPDATE! I officially launched my first (small) collection in September! Check out my First Flight Collection to see it!
I really am obsessed with jewelry. Gold jewelry. I also love mixed metal pieces. I like the contrast of my wedding band which has a platinum band with a gold bar diamond setting. And I still have a nice silver collection as well. That being said, I am mostly obsessed with rings. While talking with friends one time I remember saying, “I think I like rings because you look at them all the time!” Such a genius concept. But I can’t sit around and look at my earrings or necklace without a mirror. And contrary to what people might think, I’m not a vain person. I’m typically only using a mirror at work to check my teeth.
My love of jewelry comes from my mother. She always had on her jewelry and of course I mostly remember the rings. Gold diamond rings. And they were stunning. Her tastes have changed over the years and mine have, too. I like to think they’ve matured and followed what’s on trend but also kept with my simple love of what different pieces represent. Maybe a birthday or an anniversary or even a death. Yes, you read that correctly. But I like looking at something and it bringing back a memory or meaning. I wear my grandmother’s cross when I need a little extra help from above on certain days. I wear my mom’s wedding band because it had such meaning (even though the ‘rents are divorced). To me, jewelry represents something more than fashion. Although I must admit, to me it is also my form of fashion. Growing up at the beach, I’m a jeans and flip flops girl. But I always have on my jewelry. Even if I’m in sweatpants and refusing to leave the house on the weekend. And you can bet that I chose my jewelry first no matter what day of the week it is.
I am also a self proclaimed sparkle addict, adore my three fur babies more than my husband (just kidding….most days) and love a glass of rose, bubbles or a dirty martini. But I do NOT like olives. Go figure.

I admit, I’m an Anthony Bourdain fan. Despite our differing worldviews, Bourdain seems to be an honest, and certainly adventurous, fellow. His brand of no holds barred food tourism, which is really using food as a wedge to understand other cultures, is addictive. His job is envy inducing.
I was intrigued by a recent Bourdain blog post about the season debut of his CNN show Parts Unknown (honestly, the only thing anybody watches on CNN). He visited Shanghai, and as a result there was an attempt to emulate a cinematographic technique by a favorite Chinese movie director. This would be done through the simple placement of a pocket square:
You might notice that in the premier episode, set in Shanghai, that I am, from time to time, wearing a colored pocket square or foulard. This is not, as a matter of course, normal for me. But there is a method to my madness. These tiny notes of color are our first venture into actual production design—a calculated effort to give the episode a specific “look”.
I have long been besotted with the works of Chinese director Wong Kar Wai—and his frequent cinematographer, Christopher Doyle. His films, “In the Mood for Love” and “Chungking Express” in particular, are gorgeous meditations on longing and desire and missed connections. They are spectacularly shot—and a while back, I noticed how tiny elements of color in the foregrounds of the frames are often connected to similar colors in the background—giving scenes a lush, unified atmosphere that feels natural and un-designed. So we tried—as best and as cheaply as possible—to do that.
If you watch the scene, the pocket square does its job very well as an aesthetic device. As a pocket square qua pocket square, it’s not folded well, it protrudes too far, and as it appears to be a silk solid, not one I would recommend anyone wear. I don’t think Bourdain cares in the least about any of that. It does well what he wanted it to do.
And it led to what likely will be my only brush with Bourdain when he responded to my tweet about it:
— Anthony Bourdain (@Bourdain) September 29, 2014
Sometimes the issue isn’t necessarily what is the “right way” to wear something in the abstract, but rather what are you trying to accomplish? The whole really is more important than the sum of the parts. Anthony Bourdain teaches us the lesson well.

Two young sisters are dead and a man known to them is in custody in an Easter Sunday tragedy in Melbourne.
The girls, both aged under 10, were found dead at a house in Watsonia, and a man known to them was arrested at the scene on Sunday afternoon, police said.
He is being interviewed by detectives.
Police have yet to reveal how the children died or give details of any injuries.
A number of family members were at the home at the time the incident unfolded.
Assistant Commissioner Andrew Crisp said the tragedy had touched many.
"This is a tragic set of circumstances that has impacted on the family, and there were a number of family members here at the time," he said at the scene.
"It's naturally impacted on friends, neighbours and also on members of the fire brigade, the ambulance services and members of Victoria Police who have attended the scene today."
Police were called to the Longmuir Road home about 2.40pm (AEST).
Ambulance Victoria said paramedics treated two people in a critical condition there for some time, but could not be save them.
A neighbour said the incident was hard to comprehend.
"(I feel) sick to the stomach," he said.
"It's really hard to believe this could happen in a quiet little suburban street."
