Impact of Ecommerce on Indian Economy (2011-2015) – Excerpts from Economic Times, PwC Report, ASSOCHAM Report and ICICI Insights from Firstdata.
According to Goldman Sachs estimate, Ecommerce in India is expected to breach $100 billion mark by FY 20.
Excerpt from Economic Times:-
“Higher growth in this space is due to the higher-than-expected internet and smartphone penetration, digital wallet adoption, last-mile logistics investments, continued discounting and better execution” analysts Rishi Jhunjhunwala, Venkat Surapaneni and Piyush Mubayi wrote in the Goldman Sachs report.
There’s been a strong push in the key ecosystem enablers for ecommerce growth —
- Bharti AirtelBSE -0.37 % launched its 4G service in about 300 cities and
- Reliance Jio Infocomm is set to launch the high-speed data service in the fourth quarter.
Taiwanese electronics maker Foxconn Technology Group announced an investment of $5 billion in India over the next five years
- While Uber said it will invest $1 billion in the country in six-nine months to expand and improve operations, according to the report.
- The Reserve Bank of India issued 11 payment bank licences, which are expected to catalyse the e-payment landscape.
According to Sandeep Ladda (Leader, Technology Sector Practice PwC India), in PwC PDF on ecommerce-in-india-accelerating-growth:-
“The e-commerce sector has seen unprecedented growth in 2014. The growth was driven by rapid technology adoption led by the increasing use of devices such as smartphones and tablets, and access to the internet through broadband, 3G, etc., which led to an increased online consumer base. Furthermore, favoured demographics and a growing internet user base helped aid this growth.
In terms of highlights, the growth shown by home grown players such as Flipkart and Snapdeal and the huge investor interest around these companies displayed the immense potential of the market. With the entry of e-commerce behemoths such as Amazon and Alibaba, the competition is expected to further intensify. Both these international players come with deep pockets and the patience to drive the Indian e-commerce market. Also, their strong domain knowledge and best practices from their international experience give them an additional edge. Additionally, these companies have been part of markets where they have seen the e-commerce market evolve and are aware of the challenges and strategies to address issues thereof. Indian companies realise this, and are therefore aiming to continue their focus on expanding sellers and selection on their platforms, innovating on multiple customer touch points, and providing seamless and rapid delivery services in order to compete with the international entities. Competition is expected to continue, with these e-commerce companies experimenting with different ways to attract customers and increase online traffic.
The Indian government’s ambitious Digital India project and the modernisation of India Post will also affect the e-commerce sector. The Digital India project aims to offer a one-stop shop for government services that will have the mobile phone as the backbone of its delivery mechanism. The programme will give a strong boost to the e-commerce market as bringing the internet and broadband to remote corners of the country will give rise to an increase in trade and efficient warehousing and will also present a potentially huge market for goods to be sold.
For India Post, the government is keen to develop its distribution channel and other e-commerce related services as a major revenue model going ahead, especially when India Post transacted business worth 280 crore INR in the cash-on-delivery (CoD) segment for firms such as Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon. Both these projects will have significant impact on increasing the reach of e-commerce players to generally non-serviceable areas, thereby boosting growth. India’s overall retail opportunity is substantial, and coupled with a demographic dividend (young population, rising standards of living and upwardly mobile middle class) and rising internet penetration, strong growth in e-commerce is expected.
From an investment perspective, the market is a primarily minority stake market, with maximum traction in early-stage deals. Such early stage funding will help companies develop a strong foundation to start from. With such strong market prospects and an equally upbeat investor community, we look forward to many more e-commerce companies from India entering the coveted billion-dollar club.”
Excerpt from E-commerce – Boon for India (ICICI Insights):-
“The growing reach in terms of internet connectivity to the interiors of India coupled with the positive experiences of end consumers when buying online beyond the metros and big cities are key drivers of the e-commerce boon in India. Businesses in even the smallest towns and villages are becoming increasingly aware of e-commerce and are excited by the growth potential.
The growing penetration of e-commerce along with positive consumer experiences is reflected in a trend towards higher value online purchases. Today, consumers across urban India are confident enough to make purchases that exceed Rs 20,000-25,000. Earlier, the same shoppers stayed in the Rs 2,000-5,000 ranges. According to a study** almost 57% of business for e-commerce product sites came from tier I, tier II and tier III cities while the eight metros accounted for the remainder 43%. The same pattern was visible in the service sites too, with tier I, tier II and tier III cities contributing 54% of revenue versus 46 % by the eight metros. Seeing the immense growth e-commerce can offer, merchants across the country are increasingly keen to find out how their businesses can capitalise on the online business model. With entry and operational costs being comparatively low, the second half of 2011 and the beginning of the current calendar have seen the launch of a good number of new e-commerce sites spanning across a variety of businesses.
The growth opportunity is being closely examined by angel funds and venture capital firms who are looking for opportunities to invest in e-commerce start-ups. The e-commerce landscape will continue to evolve rapidly as even more new start-ups are launched addressing existing and new market opportunities.
E-commerce has already rapidly evolved to encompass sectors including women’s fashion, men’s fashion, shoes, followed by accessories, groceries, sports, toys, home furnishings, jewellery, automotive, bicycles, electronics and electrical equipment etc. It is becoming increasing difficult to identify consumer needs that are not now served to some extent online. Innovative merchants will however find new ways to add value to the online experience and offer an increasingly personal service to the growing volume of online consumers.
According to a report by the IAMAI, the current e-commerce market in India is around US$ 10 billion. But with different levels of adoption, the market has the potential to grow anywhere between US$ 70 billion – US$ 150 billion under one scenario and at another level it can grow between US$ 125 billion – US$ 260 billion by 2024-25.”
Excerpts from ASSOCHAM Report:-
India is at the cusp of an e-commerce revolution. Although e-commerce has been making rounds in the country for over a decade, it is in the recent years that the appropriate ecosystem has started to fall in place. Factors like accelerating internet access, staggering penetration of mobile phones and robust investment have driven the growth of this industry and if current projections are anything to go by, India is on route to becoming the world’s fastest growing e-commerce market.
Over the last decade, the Internet has changed the way people buy and sell goods and services. Online retail or e-commerce is transforming the shopping experience of customers. The sector has seen unprecedented growth especially in the last two years. The adoption of technology is enabling the e-commerce sector to be more reachable and efficient. Devices like smartphones, tablets and technologies like 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and high speed broadband is helping to increase the number of online customers. Banks and other players in e-commerce ecosystem are providing a secured online platform to pay effortlessly via payments gateways. The home grown players have shown tremendous growth and attracted some big investors. The entry of global biggies like Amazon and Alibaba has taken the competition to a new level. E-tailers are differentiating themselves by providing innovative service offerings like one-day delivery, 30-day replacement warranty, cash on delivery (CoD), cashback offers, mobile wallets, etc. The supply chain has improved significantly and e-tailers are even leveraging on the services of Indian Post for greater reach across the country. In 2014, Indian Post collected ` 2.8 billion through CoD option of payment.
Vertical specific e-tailers on the rise: Vertical specific e-tailers find it motivating to focus on a niche product or service as they can differentiate their services from mainstream e-commerce players. The value proposition of these ventures helps them raise funds easily and also helps in customer acquisition as they generally try to solve the challenges faced by people daily. The critical aspect of these industry specific ventures is offering a compelling and user-friendly experience, mostly driven by convenience, richness of information, and cost effectiveness.
Big Basket, an online grocery store, is marketing to deliver groceries at home without the hassles of traffic and saving time to do better things. Ola Cabs, a cab service provider, differentiates its offerings by providing a great user experience to people looking for car rentals and cab service. There are many innovative start-ups coming in the service industry trying to organize the unorganized sectors in India. For example, Urban Clap, an online platform for customers to scout for the best professionals in the service industry—architects, wedding photographers, yoga teachers, educational counsellors or lawyers. Similarly, innovative start-ups like Timesaverz provide online platform for home services – plumbing, repair, electrician, or cleaning to the urban people who are ready to pay a price for convenience. According to Deloitte prediction, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) could be successful for test preparation in Freemium model, where the basic content would be free while advanced content and tutoring would be a paid service. It was predicted that MOOCs could represent about 10% of all the courses taken globally in tertiary and enterprise continuing education by 2020. The eVisits have proven in developed world, and as the necessary infrastructure is deployed in the developing world, they are likely to offer affordable primary medical and diagnostic care to very large populations that do not have access today. Deloitte had predicted that in 2014, there will be 100 million eVisits globally, potentially saving over $5 billion when compared to the cost of in-person doctor visits.
Excerpts from what Hemant Joshi stated in ASSOCHAM report:-
Increasing mobile and internet penetration, m-commerce sales, advanced shipping and payment options, exciting discounts, and the push into new international markets by e-businesses are the major drivers of this unprecedented growth.
The big retailers are increasingly focusing on their digital strategies in order to gain the obvious benefits of online platforms – wider reach, always on, personalization to name a few. The e-commerce companies are concentrating their efforts on increasing the penetration of their mobile apps for higher growth. Big players in this space claim to have more than 50% of their revenue coming from mobile apps. Newer technologies that could significantly bring a paradigm shift in the online businesses are analytics, autonomous vehicles, social commerce, and 3D printing.
Companies have started to invest in data analytics to gain real-time insights into customer buying behaviour and thus offer personalized user experience. The e-commerce companies are building communities on social media networks to better understand customer needs and to drive effective marketing strategies. The future of e-commerce is bright and growth will come from mobile platforms, personalization, social media analytics, Omni-channel service, and sharing economy business models.
The e-commerce industry is an exciting place with the interplay of social, mobility, analytics, cloud (SMAC), digital, 3D and, virtualization.
An excerpt from Message from ASSOCHAM by Rana Kapoor:-
“The Government’s ambitious ‘Digital India’ project that aims to offer a one-stop shop for Government services will further bolster the sector by introducing internet and broadband to remote corners of the country and increase trade. This initiative through a targeted investment of nearly $17 billion will transform India into a connected economy and also attract investment in electronics manufacturing and create millions of jobs.
It is therefore important to overcome challenges in Financing, Infrastructure, Logistics and focus on building Customer Loyalty to usher in the next wave of sustainable growth in e-commerce”.
Thus from all the above excerpts, one thing we can conclude that Ecommerce is bringing a paradigm shift to way in which business is done in India. To support that Indian Government has introduced many ambitious projects like Digital India and Make in India to ensure growth in Indian Economy by taking advantage of all the latest enabling technologies and business models.

My brother gave me most everything for the build except the motherboard and the cpu cooling system. So i hardly have much invested in these build. After several attempts to install ML. I finally had a successful attempt and got the OS to install. I transferred Multibeast and the DSDT for the G1.Assassin.F3 to the desktop and proceeded to try and load the drivers i need and came up short by far as what to actually choose. As of right now I am still at a stand still. Most of the icons for the OS are non-exestent. They are there but 100% transparent. I have no audio and no ethernet. I have not yet installed a wi-fi card, but plan to order one once I get the rest of my issues ironed out. The Build Specs: CPU: i7 970 6 Core (Newegg) Mobo: GIGABYTE G1.Assassin LGA 1366 Intel X58 (Newegg) Ram: 12Gb DDR3 PSU: Cooler Master 1200W Silent Pro Gold (Newegg) GPU: MSI 550 Ti 1Gb GDDR5 (Newegg) & Galaxy 550 Ti 1Gb GDDR5 (Newegg) (Not sure if I can run them in SLI) HDD: 120 Gb 2.5 (Out of Old Macbook Pro / Plan to replace with SSD) / 2x WD VelociRaptor 10000RPM 600Gb (Newegg) (Planned to run windows on these in Raid 0) CPU Cooling: Corsair H80 (Newegg) Any suggestions on what I need to check on the list in Multibeast would be a huge help. Thank you in advance. As for the components. I know Socket 1366 and the i7 970 are not the best option but they were free. And the 550ti GPUs were free as well, although I have seen them used in several builds on Youtube. My brother has just out grown all the parts, and has moved up to Socket 2011 and better GPUs.

Elon Musk might face all the things from a wonderful to a suspension for his newest struggle with one in every of his greatest enemies
- The Securities and Alternate Fee has requested a decide to carry Elon Musk in contempt of court docket after it claimed that the Tesla CEO violated the phrases of his settlement with the company.
- The settlement, reached in September final yr, required that Tesla preapprove all communications from Musk — most notably his tweets — which included “materials” details about the corporate.
- Specialists instructed Enterprise Insider that Musk could possibly be fined if he’s present in contempt, or doubtlessly be suspended as an officer of a publically traded firm.
- A decide might compel Musk to testify in individual.
Elon Musk has renewed his struggle with the Securities and Alternate Fee (SEC) — and consultants have warned that he might emerge from the struggle with one other wonderful, or doubtlessly even a suspension as CEO.
On Monday, the SEC accused Musk of violating his settlement with the company over his “funding secured” tweet debacle in September final yr, when each Tesla and Musk had been fined $20 million.
A part of the settlement stipulated that Tesla is meant to pre-approve all of his communications with shareholders that embrace “materials” details about the corporate.
On February 20, Musk tweeted that Tesla would produce 500,000 automobiles this yr. He rapidly clarified that he “meant to say” Tesla would produce 500,000 automobiles and ship 400,000. The primary tweet was not vetted by Tesla, whereas the second was, the agency stated in a letter to the SEC.
Tesla made zero automobiles in 2011, however will make round 500ok in 2019— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 20, 2019
Following the tweet, the SEC requested a decide to carry Musk in contempt of the federal court docket that accepted that settlement. Musk has till March 11 to clarify why he shouldn’t be held in contempt, in response to Reuters.
Peter Haveles, a lawyer and associate at Pepper Hamilton in New York, stated a wonderful and a powerful reprimand is the likeliest end result if Musk is discovered to be in contempt of court docket.
“Tellingly, the SEC’s movement paper didn’t describe what sanction it was in search of from the decide, so that they’re leaving some flexibility right here,” he added.
Elliot Lutzker, a former SEC enforcement officer, instructed Enterprise Insider that there is a risk the company might push for Musk to be suspended as CEO if it emerged that the billionaire constantly did not get his Twitter messages pre-approved.
“They already stripped him of being a md, they may bar him from being an officer of a public firm,” stated Lutzker, who now works for regulation agency Davidoff Hutcher & Citron.
He agreed with Haveles wonderful is the extra doubtless end result, as booting Musk from the highest place might adversely have an effect on Tesla’s shareholders. “It is a robust scenario as a result of Musk is Tesla and so they want him,” he stated.
When requested how doubtless it’s that the SEC would pursue prison proceedings, SEC compliance advisor Robert Quinn stated it’s uncommon in a civil case resembling Musk’s, but when different tweets are deemed to be in violation of the settlement, issues might get much more critical.
“The SEC takes market manipulation very severely,” stated Quinn, a advisor at Robert Quinn Monetary Regulatory Specialists in London. He added that the company “has a protracted monitor document of constructing examples of individuals.”
Musk won’t have the strongest protection
Musk and Tesla have argued that the tweet will not be in violation of the settlement as a result of in Tesla’s This fall earnings name on January 30, the CEO forecast that Tesla would make between 350,000 and 500,000 Mannequin three automobiles in 2019.
The SEC rejected this in its submitting, saying it was “not credible.” Quinn, Haveles, and Lutzker agreed that it is not the strongest line of protection.

Learn extra: “How embarrassing”: Elon Musk fired again on the SEC in newest struggle over Tesla manufacturing numbers
Lutzker additionally stated that the “substance” of the tweet was not the problem.
“The telltale signal is that his lawyer who represented him… resigned virtually concurrently or contemporaneously with this newest violation of the SEC injunction,” Lutzker stated. Tesla’s basic counsel Dane Butswinkas resigned on February 20, the identical day Musk tweeted about manufacturing figures.
Haveles and Quinn agreed that the knowledge in his tweet was potent sufficient to maneuver the market. Haveles stated Musk was fortunate the pronouncement was made outdoors of buying and selling hours.
“He tweets at any time when he will get the urge, so I believe it was fortuitous however not deliberate on his half that he did it in the midst of the night time,” stated Haveles.
He added that the tweet’s timing does mitigate towards the potential hurt it might have prompted, “but it surely would not change the truth that he did have interaction in misconduct.”
What occurs subsequent
Haveles stated there will likely be a procedural listening to, which is able to contain legal professionals from Tesla and the SEC arguing it out in entrance of Decide Alison Nathan, who accepted the unique settlement. But when Decide Nathan deems it obligatory, she might demand an evidentiary listening to, forcing Musk to testify in individual.
Haveles, who has been within the courtroom with Nathan a number of instances, stated she is to not be messed with. “She is understood for being fair-minded, however she can also be robust and if she thinks you’re taking part in video games together with her or deceptive her, she will likely be very sharp in pointing that out to you,” he stated.
Musk has a historical past of mocking the SEC, at one level dubbing the company the “Shortseller Enrichment Fee.” He doubled down on this on Tuesday, tweeting that “one thing is damaged with SEC oversight.” Musk did, nonetheless, say he has that he has “nice respect for judges.”

Today’s post shows the “Wondrous Wreath” set from the Stampin’ Up! holiday catalog being used for a get well card. This design could easily be used for birthday, thanks, hello, or anything else you might want to say.
Get your money’s worth – I think it is important to get a lot of use out of my products, so I like to find ways to extend their usability. The wreath in the Wondrous Wreath set makes a great general wreath base for almost anything. Instead of using the flower that came with the wreath set, I chose the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pak. This is the same set I used yesterday for the larger hearts on the wreath. I also used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits for the butterflies. All the colors are from the 2013 – 2015 In Color collection. You can purchase the ink and cardstock in a set, which saves money, and it is extremely versatile. I sponged the background banner in both Crisp Cantaloupe and Baked Brown Sugar, just to mix things up, and then sponged the edge of the Project Life Cards & Labels die cut sentiment with the same combination, but very very lightly. The sentiment is from “A Dozen Thoughts” stamp set. Almost all the sentiments from that set would work with this card.
Make an Impression – Besides using the Hardwood stamp to give a great background, I embossed the Party Pennants die cut banner with the Woodgrain embossing folder. I think this makes it look like a door entrance.
Make it stand out – This is not a card that will do well in the mail, so I will either hand deliver it, or put it inside a box. But I think the effect is worth the effort. I used Tombow Liquid Glue to adhere just the center line of the butterflies and the center of the flowers to the wreath. To get the flowers to bowl up, I used the wider end of my embossing stylus from my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to push the flowers gently into the Stampin’ Pierce Mat. And if you look at the side view of my card, you will see I have many layers of Dimensionals. I think all the layers really bring the card to life.
Thanks for stopping by, and please come back tomorrow to see the wreath set used as it was intended. Hey, it is a Christmas set, after all! And if you missed yesterday’s version (Valentine’s Day), just go back to August 15th. I’m still figuring out how to use WordPress, so my site and postings will be a little basic until I get the hang of things.

While there are some major mysteries ahead when it comes to “Revenge” season 3 (Ashley’s fate, Emily’s wedding as seen in flash forwards), there is one thing that we can now say with a pretty strong level of confidence: For this upcoming season, you can definitely kiss The Initiative goodbye. This group was a stain on season 2, a confusing entity that was spoken about like an abstract concept. Nobody wants to deal with something that abstract; you want a mystery, but something that is grounded to a certain level.
Speaking in a new interview with TVLine, Sunil Nayar confirms that not only is the Initiative storyline going to be done away with very quickly on this coming season, it will be taken out in an almost hilarious fashion: With barely a mention of it. Specifically, it will be referenced once during the show’s season 3 premiere on September 29:
“Conrad sort of said in the season finale that it never really existed in the first place. So we’re going to embrace that reality and go forward that way.”
Ultimately, it is hard to be anything other than thrilled about this news. This storyline was always a terrible idea, and it never really did anything for the show save for just tie characters up in situations that kept them from the major purpose here: Emily Thorne’s revenge plot against the Grayson family. While we like subplots and new characters, this is the primary reason this show is around. Season 3 will mark a back-to-basics, approach, and will also hopefully bring back some old viewers to the show.

Light from Heaven
This album contains eleven tracks of classical Cambodian Mahaori music dating from the Angkor Period - some recorded for the first time. Track 11 Khaet Bombay was nominated BEST INSTRUMENTAL SONG 2002 by JUST PLAIN FOLKS. Mahaori music is characterized by a floating quality that brings a sense of energizing peace to the listener. One can feel the complexity of the tropical jungle in the intertwining instrumental lines. It has the perfect balance of emotional intensity and equanimity. This genre of music was almost completely wiped out during Pol Pot's purge of Cambodian classical musicians and dancers. Fortunately, the music has been passed down aurally for centuries and has survived in people's memories, ready to blossom again. An unexpected benefit of the Cambodian diaspora is this collaboration between Cambodian masters and western classically-trained musicians. The group Rak-Smey Khemera (Light From Heaven Falls On the People of Cambodia) has been performing and touring all over the United States since 1986, bringing traditional Cambodian music to Cambodian and western audiences alike. The founder and artistic director, Bun Loeung, is known throughout the world as a legendary luminary of all genres of Cambodian music. He has played in every conceivable venue - from the streets of Battambang, opium dens, directing the National Theatre, to performing with the Minnesota Orchestra. His recording 'Cambodian Music in Minnesota' was selected by the Library of Congress as one of the best recordings of American Folk life. His 1987 recording, 'The New International Trio' (Atomic Theory Records) with Dick Hensold and Barb Weiss won a Minnesota Music Award. Rak-smey Khemera is a unique multi-cultural group featuring classical musicians from both eastern and western traditions. Group members include Dick Hensold, the world-renown expert on Northumbrian Smallpipes (a form of bagpipe) and recorder; Jane Lanctot on gong-circle and the tro-u, which is a two-string viola with a coconut body; and Thoeun Moen, originally from Gondal Province, on traditional drums. Bun Loeung leads the group on tro-sau, the two-string violin similar to the Chinese ehr-hu as well as the roneat (xylophone).

The supply dynamics of Bitcoin (BTC) will need to change in order to decouple from equities, according to popular on-chain analyst Will Clemente.
In a new Blockware Intelligence Newsletter, Clemente notes that BTC has demonstrated an “extremely high” correlation to the Nasdaq 100 recently.
“Below you can see the 1D correlation of BTC to [Nasdaq] reaching as high as 0.98. Whether Bitcoiners view BTC this way or not, the fact is that the broader market has been viewing [BTC] as a high beta asset, basketing it in with tech.”
For Bitcoin to move up in price, Clemente says it either needs tech to rebound or it needs to decouple from equities.
According to the analyst, a new breed of buyers is accumulating BTC at current prices, which he predicts will lead to the decoupling of Bitcoin and the stock market.
As evidence, Clemente compares a chart displaying the percentage of Bitcoin that hasn’t moved in a year with a chart tracking how far the Nasdaq is off its all-time high.
“What we see is that, despite the Nasdaq being down about 20%, an all-time high ~64% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply has not moved. To me, this illustrates the fact that there is a convicted base of long-term Bitcoin believers/HODLers out there utilizing BTC as a store of value despite unprecedented uncertainty in global markets.”
Clemente also notes that Bitcoin exchange outflows are surging. Additionally, whales have been accumulating BTC for a month, according to the analyst.
“I think the story of this bear market is the transfer of supply from correlation trading traditional finance entities to long-term convicted crypto natives, [high-net-worth] individuals, and forward-looking institutions. Once this supply transfer is complete, I suspect we can see a prolonged multi-week decorrelation at a minimum.”
Bitcoin is trading at $38,343.77 at time of writing, down 5.57% in the past 24 hours.Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox

In this section, we will introduce the concept of energy-efficient pool equipment and highlight its benefits. We will explain how our company, Pool Designers, can help customers in Canada achieve these benefits. So, let’s dive in and explore the advantages of energy-efficient pool equipment!
The Importance of Energy Efficiency in Pool Equipment
At Pool Designers, we strongly believe that energy efficiency should be a top priority for every pool owner in Canada. Not only does it save costs in the long run, but it also benefits the environment. Let us explain why.
Firstly, inefficient pool equipment can lead to higher energy bills. Many pool owners are unaware that their pool equipment can be responsible for a significant portion of their energy consumption.

Additional Ways to Improve Pool Energy Efficiency
At Pool Designers, we believe that every little effort counts when it comes to reducing energy consumption. Here are some additional tips to help improve your pool’s energy efficiency:
Invest in a Pool Cover
Did you know that using a pool cover can help reduce water evaporation by up to 90%? This means less energy is required to maintain the water level and temperature. Additionally, a pool cover can help keep debris out of the pool, reducing the need for cleaning and lowering the load on the filtration system.
Optimize Your Filtration System
Regular maintenance of your pool’s filtration system is crucial to prevent clogging and ensure peak performance. Clean the skimmer basket and pump regularly and backwash the filter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Additionally, consider upgrading to a variable speed pump that can adjust its speed to match the required flow rate, using less energy in the process.
Use LED Pool Lights
LED pool lights consume significantly less energy than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs. They also last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Opt for multi-color lights that can be customized to suit your mood or occasion, and use a timer to ensure they are not left on unnecessarily.
Consider Solar Heating
Solar pool heaters are a sustainable and cost-effective way to heat your pool. By harnessing the power of the sun, you can reduce your reliance on electricity and lower your energy bills. Consult with our experts at Pool Designers to determine the best solar heating system for your pool size and location.
These are just a few of the many ways to improve the energy efficiency of your pool. At Pool Designers, we are committed to supporting our customers in Canada in their journey towards sustainable pool ownership. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help you save costs and reduce your environmental impact.

Jessica is the Senior Accessioning Archivist at the Library of Virginia. She holds degrees from the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The 2015 Alan M. and Nathalie Voorhees Lecture on the History of Cartography will be held at the Library of Virginia on Saturday, 18 April. This year’s lecture features two guest speakers: Dr. Susan Schulten will speak on “The Sectional Crisis and The Reinvention of Cartography,” and Cassandra Britt Farrell will give a talk entitled “Field of Battle: A Changing Landscape.” This event includes a special one-day exhibition of maps relating to the talks from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Today on Out of the Box we present a sneak preview of two of the maps from the Library’s collection that will be on display.
The above map by Edwin Hergesheimer represents the distribution of slaves in the commonwealth based on information gleaned from the U.S. Population Census of 1860. Gray tints indicate the percentage of slaves in each county, highlighting a significant regional difference between the northwestern counties, labeled “Kanawha,” with the Tidewater and Southside. This map was copyrighted in 1861 by Henry S. Graham and “Sold for the benefit of the sick and wounded [soldiers] of the U.S. Army.”
In 1863, C.W. Oltmanns, a Confederate topographical engineer, copied the above Map of the Lower Valley from the original drawn by Samuel Howell Brown. Both men worked for Jedidiah Hotchkiss, the chief of General Stonewall Jackson’s topographical staff. It identifies the names of residents … read more »
We are excited to announce that the Friends of the Virginia State Archives 23rd Annual Spring Conference will be held at the Library of Virginia on Friday, 27 March 2015. This year’s theme, “Straight to the Source,” will be explored in presentations by four knowledgeable LVA staffers.
The conference will kick off with an expert guide to perhaps the Library of Virginia’s most powerful resource—its website. With layer after layer of unique and fascinating material, it can be easy to miss some of the site’s offerings. Digital Initiatives & Web Services Manager Kathy Jordan will give attendees a tour that will hit all of the highlights and equip them for “web wise” independent navigation.
For those researching Revolutionary War-era ancestors, the Library has no shortage of information waiting to be accessed. Archives Reference Coordinator Minor Weisiger will guide listeners to an array of useful tools, from compiled service records, pensions, and bounty warrants, to lesser-known resources including naval records, Auditor’s Office records, legislative petitions, Continental Congress papers, the Draper Manuscripts, the online George Rogers Clark papers database, and miscellaneous personal papers collections.
Regular readers of Out of the Box may already have heard of two big projects that the Library is proud to support, both of which will be discussed at the conference. The Montgomery County Chancery Project, funded in large part by an NHPRC grant, is nearing the … read more »
The Library of Virginia began accessioning maps in 1911. Today its collection has grown to encompass several types of maps, including town plans. One of those plans is currently the center of a mystery for Library of Virginia staff members. Completed by Thomas R. Dunn in the late 19th century, it is drawn with pen and ink on cloth and measures 29 1/2 x 27 1/8 inches. The featured town is 16 blocks wide and 15 blocks high with 4 block spaces in the center. Streets running horizontally are named after states: Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia and Colorado. Vertically-laid streets are identified sequentially from First Avenue to Sixteenth Avenue. Beyond this basic information, the plan is unnamed and unidentified. What town does it represent?
Dunn did notate the plan but he didn’t include an index to explain the numerous abbreviations. Several lots are identified by surnames but we haven’t been able to verify if they represent the names of lot owners. A search through ProQuest’s digital Sanborn maps collection was not conclusive but there are several Virginia localities that include sections similar to Dunn’s plan, including Portsmouth. The 1920 Sanborn map of the City of Portsmouth is the first we know of featuring a similarly-laid section.
So, what more do we know? T.R. … read more »

In cataloging the papers of Grayson B. Boyer (1915-1970) of Grayson County, Virginia, one cannot help but notice the dramatically-titled and cheekily-illustrated “Certificate of Survival” issued to Boyer upon completion of the Battle of the South Atlantic during World War II. As well as being a unique marker of the end of a major wartime naval effort, the document also helps offset the Library of Virginia’s surprising scarcity of holdings featuring cartoon images of lusty, bare-chested mermaids.
Dated 2 May 1945 and given some semblance of credibility by the facsimiled signature of Admiral J.H. Ingram, commander of the South Atlantic forces, the document humorously celebrates the various achievements of Boyer and his fellow sailors. These range from spending months (19, in Boyer’s case) “in a state of moral indecision and physical peril,” to “enduring the rigors of Gin tonicas and Caçhaca.” The mock-solemn text concludes by commending Boyer’s “placing in sacrifice the best years of his life on the gilded altar of Pan-American Relations.”
The document’s light tone is further indicated by its comic drawings. The aforementioned mermaid and two similarly-clad women (who are given the courtesy of names–Maria and Inez–if not opaque bikini tops) are surrounded by fish, sea horses, and shells. Still, the accompanying aircraft carrier, blimp, and seaplane remind the viewer that this is war, not merely a pleasure cruise.

Here on Out of the Box we like to take the occasional Friday to let patrons of the Library of Virginia tell our readers of their research success stories. We call it Big Find Friday, and today we bring you the latest installment.
James and Andra Krehbiel made the long journey all the way from Arizona to Richmond to research the descendants of Jacob Wees (1733-1826) of Muddy Creek, Pennsylvania, and Elkins, (West) Virginia. Their visit yielded valuable information on some ten generations of the family (variations of the surname include Weese, Wease, and Wiess).
“While we had names and dates for most, we were in need of a great deal of assistance to locate ‘the story’ of each,” the Krehbiels wrote in their “My Big Find” submission. “This could never have been done without the amount of help your staff provided and which we never expected.”
The couple specifically thanked Bill Luebke, Dave Grabarek, Ginny Dunn, and Lisa Werhmann for their help, adding that “As both of us have doctorates and have done our share of research, we can attest that the staff of the Library of Virginia is outstanding.”
If you want to “get to know” your ancestors a little better, we would love for you to take advantage of our unique and impressive resources – including our dedicated reference staff. For those just getting … read more »
The papers of Earl Hamner, Jr., creator and writer of the popular television series The Waltons, are now available for research at the Library of Virginia. One might wonder what the papers of a famous Hollywood figure are doing in Richmond. Granted, Hamner was born in Schuyler, a small town in Nelson County, but he left Virginia in 1949. His many accomplishments in film and television took place outside of his home state. But when Hamner left 65 years ago, it wasn’t as though he didn’t look back.
Much of Hamner’s inspiration and ideas grew out of the first 25 years of his life growing up in Nelson County and attending college at the University of Richmond. Delivering the commencement address at his alma mater the University of Cincinnati in 2008, Hamner said, “What has inspired me has been the family and neighbors I grew up with in rural Virginia during the Great Depression. They were a decent, God-fearing, patriotic people. Like most Appalachian folk, they were frugal, proud, and self-reliant. They were story tellers and I listened.”
While a student at the University of Richmond just prior to World War II, Hamner was working on a short story which described the feelings of a boy when he joined his father for his first deer hunt. As the story grew, Hamner realized the … read more »
Today we bring you another installment of our Big Find Friday series. While we love those “Eureka!” moments where a patron finds the exact, obscure document that unlocks an entire family history in one fell swoop, occasionally the historical record keeps a stingy grip on its secrets. This post shows that sometimes a patron’s “big find” is the Library of Virginia itself.
Donna Potter Phillips of Spokane, Washington, visited us in May 2014 for the National Genealogical Society’s conference. While here, she hoped to find evidence of the 1725 marriage in Williamsburg of her ancestor Marquis Calmes (b. 1705, Stafford County, Virginia) to a “fine English lady,” Winnifred Waller, and learn the identity of Waller’s parents. “Alas, I accomplished neither,” Phillips wrote to us afterward, prompting optimistic archivists to shed forlorn tears. Ah, but wait! She didn’t stop there, adding, “But I surely had a great time looking.”
As Phillips exhausted the resources of not only the Library of Virginia, but also Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg and William and Mary’s Swem Library, she was able only to determine that her ancestors did not marry at Bruton Parish. Undeterred, she proclaimed herself “comfort[ed] to know the ‘final score’ from a reputable source.” She closed by sharing that “I happily looked at everything on the Waller family that your great staff could dig up for me. … read more »

Wolfgang Van Halen Reveals Eddie Van Halen’s AC/DC Drumming Ultimatum
Wolfgang Van Halen recently shared with Planet Rock a memory with his father Eddie Van Halen. Wolf reminisced about his father’s AC/DC ultimatum when he was just learning how to play the drums. He recalled:
“AC/DC started [for me] with me and my dad, that’s actually where I learned how to play drums. He had a couple of magazines on a table, and with one he had my right hand as if it was a hi-hat another, my left hand as if it was a snare drum. He’s like, ‘If you use your foot and do the kick in between, if you do that then you’re playing ‘Highway to Hell’ by AC/DC.'”
Wolf also shared his father’s reaction when he was able to play the track. The rocker expressed:
“When he saw that I could do that, he was like, ‘Yes.’ He got me a drum kit for my birthday. So AC/DC has always been very close to my heart. It was one of one of the bands with my father that we enjoyed most.”
Besides learning to play the drums with ‘Highway to Hell,’ AC/DC was also the band that Wolf got interested in since his father was a fan of the band. Wolf expressed to Classic Rock the album that his father favored more than any other album. He said:
“The band that I was probably first obsessed with was AC/DC. My father introduced me to them with ‘Powerage,’ and I was thinking of picking that one because it was his favorite album. But a little bit more than that, ‘Highway To Hell’ is probably my favorite album of theirs.”

Beebe Asks Electric Co-ops To Support Medicaid Expansion
Gov. Mike Beebe is asking Arkansas electric cooperative officials to support funding for the expansion of Medicaid in Arkansas that will be considered by lawmakers beginning in February.
Beebe spoke Monday at the Arkansas Electric Cooperatives Directors Winter Conference in Little Rock. He said Arkansas' private option to expand Medicaid freed enough money for about $100 million in tax cuts during the last legislative session.
Beebe said if funding for Medicaid expansion is denied then other programs will have to be cut. Beebe urged the directors to tell state House and Senate members that they support funding the program.
The governor said he believes some lawmakers are concerned that anything seen as supporting the federal health care law will cost them re-election.

|HY Anna's Hummingbird, a common bird on the Farallons.|
Since I first arrived, I have found it incredibly interesting how some species that are fairly abundant just 30 miles east on the mainland can be incredibly rare, and are thus highly coveted by us Faralisters here in Farallonia. Then there are birds that are much more likely to turn up here than on the mainland. For example we get far more Least Flycatchers, an eastern vagrant, than Dusky or Hammond's Flycatchers, which are relatively common species in the west. We recently had two Farallon megas, Common Goldeneye and Cooper's Hawk that are doubtfully any birder's idea of chase birds. However, birders who spend time on the Farallons take their island lists very seriously, so when I called out the goldeneye over the radio, the others came sprinting to me as if it were an Arctic Warbler (not surprisingly also induced a rapid and shamefully twitchy response).
|NOT the Loch Ness Monster, but the 20th Island record and 6th Fall record of Common Goldeneye for Southeast Farallon Island. Nearly all records are in winter.|
|Cooper's Hawk, one of roughly 30 records for the island [Photo by Ryan DiGaudio]|
Despite the fact that the birding has been slow due to various amounts of wind and/or fog, we've had a a trickle of arrivals over the past few weeks, including new Grasshopper Sparrow, Lapland Longspur, Short-eared Owls (almost daily), Rough-legged Hawk, Blackburnian Warbler (a good vagrant anytime, but especially this late in the season), and Surf Scoters to name a few.
|Lapland Longspur, the most likely species of longspur here, but still a relatively uncommon bird.|
|Short-eared Owl, a common species but an outstanding bird every time.|
|We have butterflies too, like this west coast lady....|
|...and this painted lady.|
|We haven't seen many Pigeon Guillemots lately, but this individual, Hermen, has been here since the breeding season, and is finally molting in a much-needed new set of remiges.|
|Eh not the best photo ever, but a great bird anyway. Horned Puffin just chillin'. One of less than 30 records for the island, 8th fall record. This bird is far more likely in Spring, but rare any time, and scarce in any part of coastal California.|

Residents of countries in which hydro-fracking is planned or already underway are encouraged to hold preliminary Mini-tribunals on the human rights dimensions of fracking in their country. Witness accounts, other evidence, arguments and findings from that Mini-tribunal can then be made available to the plenary hearings held in late 2017 or early 2018.
Mini-tribunals will address the question: Does sufficient evidence exist to indict your State on charges of failing to protect the human rights of persons impacted by fracking?
If you wish to hold a preliminary tribunal, please contact the PPT Session Steering Group about the timing of your mini-tribunal and for suggestions about how to begin the process.
Guidelines for preliminary Mini-tribunals
Each country that chooses to hold a preliminary mini-tribunal may choose from a variety of possible formats. You will want to choose a structure that best fits the local situation and yet includes all the essential elements of a mini-tribunal, which include:
1. The question to be addressed by the tribunal
The question for judges to answer is: Does sufficient evidence exists to indict [your state] on charges of failing adequately to respect the human rights of citizens as a result of permitting hydraulic fracturing and other techniques of unconventional oil and gas extraction within its jurisdiction? A Mini-tribunal may focus its work on any or all of the six sub-cases (listed below).
Each Mini-tribunal can use one judge, a panel of 3-5 judges or a combined panel of judges and respected members of civil society. Standard PPT sessions include a panel of judges comprised of eleven members — five to seven jurists of high standing in international human rights law and expert in the field at issue, and recognized representatives of civil society. A panel of judges for a Mini-tribunal will be smaller in number but may choose to keep the ratio of jurists to representatives of civil society.
Each Mini-tribunal can use prosecuting attorneys only, or both prosecuting and defense attorneys. Standard PPT practice is that, after the tribunal has been organized, a venue determined and a panel of jurists put together, a summons is issued to the relevant State with an invitation to provide defense attorneys to represent their interests. If a State does not provide defense attorneys, the tribunal will normally provide them for the hearings. A Mini-tribunal can use its own discretion on this matter, but any perception of bias in the hearings should be assiduously avoided.
The location for the tribunal will ideally be centrally located and held in a physical setting that manifests the dignity and authority of the proceedings. The choice of location and settings, however, is less important than the quality of the proceedings themselves. Alternatively, it may be possible to arrange a Mini-tribunal in which the venue is entirely online, perhaps using option-rich meeting software packages, or perhaps using something as basic as Skype.
Evidence may include personal witness narratives, expert testimony on the practices and impacts of fracking, peer reviewed research, reports from citizen groups, preparatory academic round tables, Human Rights Impact Assessments and amicus curiae briefs. Personal testimony may be submitted orally in person during the Mini-tribunal, or in written, audio or video formats, or streamed concurrently from afar.
Formal hearings may occur over a period of one or more days, after which the judge or panel of judges will deliberate, weigh the evidence and arguments, and issue findings that answer the Mini-tribunal’s question.
The more robust the proceedings the more reliable and respectable the findings resulting from them. Elements that contribute to increased robustness include:
- the heft and quality of the submitted evidence, including reliability of personal testimony;
- a panel of judges rather than a single judge;
- selecting jurists familiar with human rights law, and selecting jurists and representatives of civil society of recognized character and wisdom who are held in high public regard;
- including defense attorneys in the proceedings to insure that the evidence and arguments presented by the prosecution are sufficiently tested;
- requesting PPT approval of the judges and representatives of civil society;
- employing a structure for the Mini-tribunal that has been approved by the PPT.
Note: the six primary sub-cases
- The human health case will address the human rights dimensions of adverse impacts on all dimensions of human physical and mental health.
- The environmental, ecosystem, hydrologic and seismicity cases will address the human rights dimensions of adverse environmental, ecosystem and wildlife impacts as well as impacts on air, surface water, groundwater and earthquakes.
- The fuels infrastructure case will address the human rights dimensions of exploration, drilling, fracking, extraction and delivery processes as well as of the infrastructure needed for transport, storage and export of product and waste (e.g., pipelines, storage facilities, waste treatment facilities, waste water disposal, LNG terminals, etc).
- The climate impacts case will address all the human rights dimensions, for both present and future generations, of fracking and climate change, including of governments’ continued subsidizing of fossil fuels.
- The public participation case will include the human rights dimensions of public participation (or lack thereof) in decision-making about unconventional oil and gas exploration, extraction and policy-making.
- The social costs case will address the human rights dimensions of social and cultural impacts on individuals, families and communities.

My favorite and (according to iTunes) most listened to album of 2010 was The Suburbs by Arcade Fire. Hypnotic, melodic, complex – it’s everything a great album should be and does what any great album should do; transport you. Someone asked me why it was my favorite album and it took me a bit to articulate exactly why.
Because of the music, obviously, and because of that mood and tone, but mostly because of the subject and title; it’s exactly the album I would have loved when I was seventeen. I can easily picture throwing the cassette into the deck of my Toyota and cruising the streets of my town, and being utterly surrounded by it
Maligned and scorned by the hip, the self-conscious, the self-absorbed, and the “hip urban elite” who live comfortably in their lofts and apartments and townhomes of whatever metropolis they call home. The ‘burbs are where you go where the dream dies. When marriage and children enter the picture you feel its pull; abandoning the excitement, the energy, the vibe of the city for the house, the fence, the cul-de-sacs and crescents and tree-lined streets, the strip-malls and shopping centers, bisected by roads and freeways, survivable only by automobile.
Call them “sub-urban.” Beneath contempt.
Well, I’ve come to praise the suburbs, not bury them. The suburbs made me who I am.
My first true memory of the suburbs involved me chasing a blimp. True story. I was four years old, happily being four years old in the subdivision I lived in with my parents and sister. One summer evening (childhood memories of these suburbs seem always to be summer ones) I’m in the backyard of our bungalow and what do I see in the sky but a blimp, much like the Goodyear Blimp, only with red and white colors. I run and tell my dad and tell him we have to follow it. Why he agreed I’ll never know but what resulted was a family outing with me and my mom and my sister in her stroller wandering the tangled network of streets looking for wherever this damn blimp is, just hanging there in the sky. We eventually found it at the edge of our subdivision, among the skeletal structures of the coming expansion of houses yet to be built and inhabited. The “blimp” was really just an oversized helium balloon, with the logo for the construction company on it. I was disappointed that it wasn’t real (and that rides weren’t in the offering), but as we walked back home, I realized that the world existed beyond the limits of my own realm; the front yard and backyard of our house, and wherever my parents would take me. That there was more out there than just my home and street.
Looking at a map of that neighborhood now I am amazed at how much of my memory of that period is confined to a tiny grid of streets among many. Really my world extended from my street to a block south to my school, and maybe a block or two east and west. My world was comprised of wherever my bike or feet could take me. Venturing a block south of my school was considered a Big Journey, and if we wanted to go to one of the shopping malls in the vicinity we had to ask a parent to drive us and save a quarter to call when we wanted to be picked up. Our experience of the city at large was made in increments and always entailed some sort of voyage.
As we grew older and gained the freedom that comes with age, trips into the city itself involved a lengthy bus to subway ride and consumed the better part of the day. Downtown represented freedom, record stores, comic shops, the best burger joints, and girls (especially girls). On those trips your world expanded to areas accessible by public transit. Of course when we got our licenses and access to a car, that world grew exponentially. There was literally no place we couldn’t go and as we explored, as our sphere of influence expanded, the world we grew up in seemed all the more tiny and insignificant. Cruising through neighborhoods only a kilometer or two west of ours presented homes and schools and kids our age who lived in worlds that were as foreign and unknown to us as ours were to theirs. We would never experience their lives, the halls of their schools, and maybe we’d pass each other at a mall, we were ships in the night. Maybe we’d learn later, at college, that a new friend lived in a neighborhood that was a stone’s throw away geographically, but a lifetime down the road.
But to understand the allure of the suburbs is to understand their relationship to the city they orbit. To glimpse the glittering skyscrapers of New York or Los Angeles as you pass them on the freeway to your home enclave, is to see a light seductively drawing you in. You want to escape, you want to find your place in that light; you want to find home. I’ve come to realize that dream, that search for your place in the world is a recurring theme in a lot of my work.
The suburbs are about longing. They’re about being on the outside and looking in and dreaming about what was or what could be someday. Not many urban kids rebel against their parents to move to the ‘burbs; it’s always the reverse. The promise of that excitement, that constant search for a place in the world is forged in a suburban setting, not an urban one. In a city like New York you look for an escape from it, the heat, the noise, the people and can find it within a relatively short drive but you always feel the city’s pull on you whether you live there or glimpse it from a hilltop or a highway.
But that longing is part of the romance of the suburbs. You always feel that pull that a better life could lie around the next corner, or the next subdivision over. You can spend your life looking for that place, only to realize that what you’re looking for is right beside you all along.
We’re all living in the sprawl.

Cost Dooms Metro Plan For Tunnel At Tysons
Friday, March 24, 2006
A plan for Metro trains to rumble under the heart of Tysons Corner through a tunnel was rejected by the project managers yesterday as too expensive, a decision that could further jeopardize Fairfax County's grand vision of remaking Tysons into an urban-style, pedestrian-friendly downtown for Northern Virginia.
The Virginia transportation commissioner and Metro officials had, in recent months, urged the project managers to use an advanced technology to build a tunnel under Tysons, saying it would be easier for the area to develop into a true urban center -- and simpler to build the project without aboveground disruptions -- if there weren't elevated tracks slicing across it.
But an estimate by contractors has found that the tunnel approach would cost at least $500 million more than the aboveground plan, which is itself threatening to exceed cost limits. A tunnel "does not appear to be affordable," said project spokeswoman Marcia McAllister.
Unless state and Metro officials can persuade the project managers to reconsider, most of the four-station line planned at Tysons would be elevated along Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) and Route 7 (Leesburg Pike), a less aesthetically pleasing outcome. Tunnel backers said their plan would improve the appearance of Tysons Corner, the car-clogged, unattractive commercial center that developers and Fairfax officials envision turning into a thriving, walkable downtown.
On Wednesday, the project's managers announced that contractors had proposed saving money by cutting the number of rail cars on the line, the pedestrian bridges and some escalators for the four stations at Tysons. This would mean that riders would have to cross busy Leesburg Pike to reach the two stations to be built in its median.
Metro yesterday challenged the no-tunnel decision, saying more weight needed to be given to the long-term benefits of having rail below ground. A spokeswoman said the agency believes that contractors had "overstated" the difference in cost for tunneling.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly (D) said that it seemed "counterintuitive" that building above ground, with all its inconveniences, would be so much less expensive and that the estimate ideally would take into account the larger benefits of having rail below ground. Still, he said, if the contractors really believe that tunneling would cost hundreds of millions more, "I'm afraid it's not viable."
The tunnel debate underscored a recurring challenge for the project: how to preserve its broader ambitions in the face of cost constraints that are threatening some of the very aims used to justify the project's huge cost in the first place.
The project to extend a 23-mile line from West Falls Church to Dulles has, over time, come to be about much more than providing a direct rail link between the nation's capital and its largest airport. In addition to the transportation benefits, the project has been touted for its development potential in Northern Virginia's largest job center.
Supporters of the project say that despite the reductions, its central purpose remains in place. The priority must be getting the work done, they say, even if that means having to make some unwelcome cuts along the way.
"We have to balance out the issue of cost and amenities and deliver the core function," said Virginia Transportation Secretary Pierce R. Homer. "That's the process we're going through -- we pledged to hold costs down as much as possible, and that's our first responsibility."
At seemingly every turn in the rail project's development, though, the initial vision has been forced to confront realities. To save money last summer, the project's managers shortened the part of the line that would be below ground at Tysons to under half a mile, meaning that most of the line there would run on elevated tracks through the area. Money was also cut for the designs of the stations and columns holding up the track.
Then there was Wednesday's announcement about the rail cars and pedestrian bridges. Some backers say the bridges could be restored later by developers who want to build along the line. But Antonio Calabrese, an attorney for the company planning development at Tysons Corner Center, said yesterday that it would be unfair to pass that cost on to developers who are already helping pay for the project through a special tax district.
Pedestrian bridges, he said, are a big part of making transit work in Tysons and must be part of the overall package. "You can't pull out all the bridges and expect to have anywhere near the same level of ridership," he said. "It's nonsense to think, 'We'll just foist it on the private sector.' "
The contractors found yesterday that using a large tunnel-boring machine pioneered in Spain, although more efficient than conventional tunneling, would cost $823 million more than the $2 billion estimated for the first phase of the project, as now planned. The difference is smaller, about $500 million, if the features that are recommended to be cut, are included.
Those involved in the project are expected to meet today to review the contractors' estimates and discuss how to proceed. Daniel Scandling, a spokesman for Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-Va.), who has been leading the push for the project, conveyed a reminder yesterday that the parties need to come to agreement quickly to keep the project on course.
"The congressman remains concerned about the cost and continues to push to ensure that the project stays on track and on time," he said.

Child Brain Injury Claims
Our highly empathetic and pro-active brain injury solicitors understand not only the devastation that can be caused to a family when a child suffers a brain injury but also the worries and concerns that you, as a parent, will have about your child’s future and your ability to meet their complex needs.
We will work closely and collaboratively with you to ensure that you and your child receive:
- Much needed practical and emotional support to help you and your child to adapt and cope with life following your child’s brain injury;
- Exceptional legal advice and step by step guidance as we tenaciously pursue your child’s claim;
- The compensation your child deserves to guarantee as far as possible that:
- They enjoy the best quality of life possible following brain injury and;
- You, as a parent, have peace of mind, knowing not only that sufficient funds will always be available to meet your child’s complex needs in the future, such as specialist care, therapy, treatment, equipment and accommodation but also that arrangements will be in place to ensure your child will be protected should anything happen to you.
Our focus is on providing specialist rehabilitation at the earliest possible opportunity (rather than following the conclusion of the claim) when it has the greatest potential to improve your child’s outcome. We understand that you will need funds to pay for essential equipment, adaptations to your home and specialist professional care for your child. Therefore, it is always our policy to seek interim payments of child brain injury compensation, where possible, to help you to meet these expenses.
When funds are available we will work closely with you and an experienced paediatric brain injury case manager to identify your child’s care, therapy and equipment needs. This will ensure that the appropriate services are delivered in a coordinated and consistent way, maximising the benefit of these services to your child.
We are experienced at facilitating communication between, and working with you, your child’s school, education professionals, healthcare professionals and your local authority. The priority is to effectively meet your child’s educational needs and optimise their potential.
Child Head Injury Compensation
When your child experiences a head injury that damages their brain, it can be the start of a difficult journey. Head injuries in children can be caused due to a variety of situations, including:
- A fall
- Physical assaults and altercations
- Sports injuries, including riding bikes, skateboarding, football and basketball
- A motor vehicle accident, or being struck by a vehicle when walking
- Child abuse, particularly physical child abuse including shaking in infants and toddlers
In general, teens are at higher risk of head injury than younger children and head injuries happen twice as often in boys than in girls.
£1.8m on full liability for boy on his bicycle who suffered catastrophic head injuries
Our client was aged 12 when he cycled from land owned by a local council onto a ‘cycle way’, straight into the path of a moped. He suffered very serious head injuries with fractures to the temporal and basal skull and a subarachnoid haemorrhage. He was unconscious for several weeks and had extensive post traumatic amnesia. We argued that the local council should have taken steps to prevent such accidents happening. This meant the Defendant had to pay 30% of the full compensation amount. The Defendant made a payment into Court of £165,000, which they later increased to £550,000. This was rejected and by negotiation the Defendant’s offer was increased to £600,000 (the equivalent of £1.8m on full liability), which was accepted and approved by the Court.
We are sensitive to the fact that in some cases of brain injury many of the difficulties experienced by your child may not be immediately obvious, particularly if there are no visible signs of disability. This could mean that the true extent of the challenges your child faces on a daily basis, such as problems with memory, word finding, information processing and behaviour, may be missed by the professionals involved.
We are experts at proving and communicating the full extent of your child’s injuries to:
- education professionals to ensure your child’s needs in school are understood and met; and
- to your opponent and to the court to ensure the compensation we claim for your child will meet their current and long-term care, therapy and treatment needs.
