Consulting engineers Patrick Parsons have been boosted by contract wins on a number of new hotel and student accommodation developments in Newcastle city centre.
The Newcastle-headquartered firm has been contracted by Kier Property, the developers of the forthcoming "luxury budget" Motel One on High Bridge.
A team of engineers from Patrick Parsons will provide structural, civil and geoenvironmental services to the £13m project, which will culminate the completion of a 222-room hotel.
The group will also design a multi-storey steel frame with metal decking for the building, which has a Grade-II listed frontage, behind which most of the new development is happening.
Bruce Horsburgh, associate director of Structures at Patrick Parsons, said: "We have already worked on a number of high-profile hotel projects around the UK, so we're pleased to have been appointed as project engineers for this exciting new hotel right on our doorstep.
"Working in existing buildings always presents challenges, but we are working hard to protect the original features and to carefully monitor our work due to any items unearthed that may have archaeological importance.
"Motel One will no doubt be an excellent addition to Newcastle's thriving hotel sector, so we're delighted to be playing a key role in this project."
Mr Horsburgh said the project had posed challenges due to the accessibility of the High Bridge site and the listed nature of the building.
Unusually the building features precast concrete lift shafts and staircases which have also presented their own design requirements.
He added: "The existing building has been a challenge because it's over a hundred years old, and we've continually had to change our structural modifications to take account of its needs.
"Buildings like this have been altered so many times over the years, but little record has been kept of the changes. It means we're uncovering things all the time."
The site underwent an archeological dig in the early stages of the development which uncovered horse bones — thought to indicate the site of an horse trading market situated just off the Bigg Market.
Patrick Parsons has recently been involved in a number of hotel developments in the city including the upcoming 160-bed Hilton hotel in Baron House, opposite Central Station.
Mr Horsburgh said the firm's regional portfolio of work featured a number of student accommodation projects, which presented similar requirements to hotels because of their modular design.
The Motel One project is the latest addition to Patrick Parsons' hotel portfolio, which also includes Drayton Manor Park Hotel in Staffordshire and Hotel Indigo and the Easy Hotel in Glasgow.

Expanding the College Football Playoff Field Is Simple, But Will It Ever Happen?
Now that we're in the college bowl season, it's time for the annual debate on expanding the field for the college football playoff. But it's really a misnomer to call the present model for crowning a national champion a "playoff."
After seeing several SEC teams left out of the national Championship game in the past (in particular Auburn in 2004), this writer was glad to see a move toward a different process for determining the Division I (FBS) champion. However, what was agreed upon does not represent a playoff.
A playoff would give everyone a chance to play in the big game. As we saw last year no independent (not named Notre Dame) has a chance. To call the present selection process "playoff" is disingenuous at best. Call it The 13 Committee Selection Playoff or the Power Five Playoff but not the College Football Playoff.
A playoff should mean everyone has equal opportunity to access the final game. That is not the case and will never be the case as long as the Power-5 conferences have control. Back in 2011 the Mountain West proposed an 8-game playoff, and it was summarily shot down by the big boys.
Here's the biggest problem with the current setup: One or more of the Power Five conferences gets left out each year, and there is virtually no chance for the so called "smaller schools" to make the final four. It would be an easy thing to fix by simply expanding to an eight-team field.
Instead of 13 people meeting behind closed doors to decide who's in and who's out, here's a novel idea: why not let the schools make that decision through competition?
Let the play on the field determine the champion as it does in every other sport. Consider the conference championship games as the first round of the playoffs. The Power 5 conferences represent 64 teams—about the same field as is represented in the NCAA Basketball Tournament. If a Power Five team wins its conference championship, it will advance to the national-eight semifinals. Then the highest ranked non-Power Five conference champions or higher ranked independent would fill out the brackets. That would also mean all teams (not just 64) have a chance to play for the title based on performance.
Keep the committee, but change its responsibility to seeding the teams and selecting three at-large teams from the non-Power Fives or independents. This would give the UCF's of the world a path to the championship while insuring that Notre Dame has its "privileged status" protected. Although, it's this writer's personal opinion that the Irish should compete just like the other Power-5 schools in a conference championship.
Some say this type of plan wouldn't work because an occasional two-or-three loss team might upset a higher ranked team in a conference championship game. Well, that's why it's called a playoff. A playoff is not supposed to be the two or four teams that a select group (committee) deems as the best matchups.
Just like with the NFL, 10 wildcard teams have defeated teams with better regular season records to advance to the Super Bowl. By the way, six of those at large teams became Super Bowl Champions.
It really is that simple. Yet, all kind of reasons are put forth as to why it wouldn't work. And most of them are the same ones that were used to discourage moving from two teams to four.
Debunking the arguments against expansion after the jump.
Here are some of the most prevalent:
* It would make the regular season less important.
No, it would just heighten the importance of having the best record to get to a conference championship because if you make it there, you're in the semifinals.
* College football needs to stop adding more games.
Well, that's easy enough to fix. Start the season a week earlier or subtract cupcakes during the regular season. Doing the latter could have the added advantage of providing a second bye week to rest the players.
* Where would another round be played?
The first round would be played at home stadiums of the higher ranked team just like it is with the FCS level. After that, there would be four teams left and they would play in the Bowls just like they do now.
* Expansion would be a death knell for the bowls.
As my grandfather used to say, "That's a load of bull."
This argument was used a lot during talks about changing from the BCS. It didn't happen then, and it will not happen now. There will always be teams eager to play in a bowl game. In fact the demand for more bowls has grown since the four-team CFP was instituted. In recent years, the NCAA has turned down several cities' requests to start new bowl games.
* Moving to eight teams will only prompt cries to add more. Where does it stop?
It stops with this model. Yes, there will always be calls for more teams to make the field. But this model should end them because it covers all the doubts put forth while still allowing "everyone" a path to the championship game.
The powers that be know this will work because this is the way the other college divisions have been handling playoffs for years.
So, if it's really that simple, why can't we move to the eight-team model?
The answer is twofold. One, the Power Five conferences want to keep it an exclusive Power-5 club. The second and most important reason, though, is money. And that's driven by the mega-TV sports giant ESPN. The network wants to hype the who gets in and the debate over who should have been in. It's good for ratings, and that means more money.
Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said recently, "I wouldn't say we'll never go to it, but I'd be very surprised if we gave it any serious consideration…We haven't had any conversations about expanding the field so far. This is a terrific enterprise and I just think we need to be really careful before we tamper with it." Notice the word "enterprise!"
Yes it's about business. ESPN doesn't want to see a UCF vs.Houston when they know an Alabama–Michigan game would draw a larger audience and, hence, produce more revenue.
With that being the case, will we ever see anything resembling a true college football playoff? Maybe, but I don't expect to see it in my lifetime.

By Mike Pearson
It's been a long wait but finally the property market is slowly but surely moving forward in a positive way. Motion creates emotion, as they say, and there is a feeling that Marbella – together with many other parts of the Coast – is back in vogue, and particularly the market of buying old properties in good locations for renovation. The developers are back in full force and it's plain to see, with old villas snapped up at bargain prices, totally modernised and put back on the market again for huge sums of profit. They are catering to turn-key clients who want nothing to do with the hassle of purchasing, planning and building their dream homes. They just want to turn the key and move in, and who can blame them for paying a large premium for the privilege of not having the stress involved in renovation projects.
It would seem that the name of the game is location, orientation and ready-forrenovation, and now there are companies on the southern Spanish coast that package all of this. From targeting the best locations with old buildings and introducing the product to a prospective buyer on clever 3Ds to handing the client total control over the project under the direction of a project manager, as well as teams of companies needed to finish a total renovation… These companies have people working under one roof and in one location, with all products at hand. Not many companies are suited to do this, as you need a lot of space for each individual company to provide an exhibition area. One of the leaders in this buyproperty- to-renovate market is The Design Center (also known as Marmorin), which is situated opposite Marbella Club Hotel.
In all my time in southern Spain, I don't ever remember seeing such a set up. It's a huge space with all the elements, plus independent companies and specialists working together on a daily basis. I know of one place similar, but it's based in San Francisco.
There is so much to talk about so I will keep it simple… The Design Center gives power to the turn-key investor to do their own developments with the option of keeping the final project for themselves or putting it back on the market. They call it, "Power to the Consumer".
Any prospective client can choose from a selection of hand-picked properties that fit the criteria of location and orientation; once a property has been selected for a project, the in-house 3D department team and a selected architect take over. In this particular case when I was at the studio, it was renowned architect Pablo Villarroel of Villarroel Torrico Arquitectos. As most readers are probably aware, the name Villarroel – specifically Pablo's father Melvin – is synonymous with some of our beloved Coast's landmark developments, including the Puente Romano and Marbella Club Hotels.
We have had a number of established and well respected architects visit us at the centre and we will continue to welcome them as we can offer the perfect environment for architects to work.
It was very impressive to sit and watch the client operating the glass windows and doors that were actually going into his project. He moved along to meet with all the other companies involved, providing physical elements such as Italian ceramics and magnificent large stone bathtubs and sinks that he had chosen. The discussions were coordinated with lighting specialist David Hidalgo, one of Spain's most popular lighting designers, with leading brand glass doors and window systems offered by Marbeglass, latest trends in Italian ceramics from Cerafino, award-winning landscapists Adarve, renowned interior designer Nezha Kanouni, cutting-edge home automation systems from Domosat, and Agata Bath Design designer baths.
And the best part is that it is all done under one roof… Everything and everyone needed to carry out a building project on time and on budget. As I mentioned previously, they say that motion creates emotion – and there was plenty of that happening in this design centre.

Via a Llayzhatan Bajo, Ecuador
Gaia Sagrada is a magical place. If Ayahuasca is calling you then look no further than this place. Christine has created a place of beauty and I honestly don't know how she could make it any better. As soon as you arrive you are greeted with hugs from everyone and you're immediately made to feel comfortable. The work exchangers are wonderful and will always be there with anything you need. Expect plenty of hugs whilst staying at Gaia! Before I went to Gaia I was told my retreat members would become my new family and this couldn't have been more true. Get ready to meet likeminded people and create a new family who will always be there for you.
It is hard to find English speaking Shamans but Gaia has found some! The Shamans are wonderful and they are always willing to talk to you and answer any questions you may have. I always felt safe, looked after and I am still in awe of their knowledge and wisdom.
It is so important to have a rest day between ceremonies so that you can process and rest. You will have a family meeting the day after a ceremony which really helps you process everything that has happened. You will find that you'll learn SO much from your fellow retreat participants and their experiences with the medicines.
The Andes Mountains are absolutely stunning, the air is pure and fresh and there are plenty of places to take a time-out and simply sit in nature and ground yourself. You can go on hikes, go for a run or simply take a 5/10 minute stroll and find a spot to meditate or just relax. Everywhere you look you will be mesmerised by how breathtaking the views are.
The food at Gaia is delicious. If you are a meat eater do not worry! The food is magnificent, full of flavour and there is plenty of it. As for accommodation, I stayed in Casa Tranquilo and I couldn't have been happier with my room.
At night there is usually a fire going where you can chill & sit and talk to your new friends. There are plenty of places to sit and chill, there are benches scattered throughout the grounds as well as hammocks & chairs. The community centre has wifi, its own kitchen and they even have Netflix! There are also a few guitars and musical instruments which are great fun especially when everyone has a good jam session!
There is usually someone teaching Yoga every morning and some people offer their own services such as massage, reiki etc.
They say Mother's know best and I feel Mother Ayahuasca was calling to me because she believed I needed San Pedro too! A lot of people come to Gaia as they are drawn to Ayahuasca but let me tell you that San Pedro is a beautiful plant medicine. Imagine your heart being cracked open so you can receive endless amounts of love, clarity and wisdom. I am so thankful I got to work with San Pedro and I believe I actually got more out of this medicine. I had so many questions and they were all answered.
My experience at Gaia was truly life changing and I witnessed countless transformations in my fellow retreat members. I am so grateful to have been given this opportunity and it is an experience I will never forget.
Thank you Christine for creating such an incredible place of healing and love. You are giving people the tools to transform their lives and make this world a better place.
Thank you Christine, Bruce, Salvador, Santiago, Paulina, Sofia, the work exchangers and everyone involved at Gaia Sagrada, and of course, thank you to my new family, I love you guys.
PS. I am going back to volunteer in August so to anyone reading this review and thinking about going to Gaia, I hope to see you there, you will not regret it 🙂

Since time immemorial, passenger vans have established their usefulness in transporting large groups of people on trips. Even though it's a different era, the vehicle hasn't lost its purpose. A perfect choice for road trips, passenger vans are ideal for individuals with lots of luggage. Mountaineers and hikers, for example, usually hire passenger vans since they are often with heavy baggage. Even if it means removing a few seats to fit your personal belongings, passenger vans are built as beasts of burden. Don't break a sweat yet!
Why you should choose passenger vans
As December draws closer, you may have planned a trip for a holiday. Did you know that you would save a lot of bucks renting passenger vans with your friends rather than travel by air? With carpooling, you would probably be paying a small percentage of your flight cost. Knowing that December is often an expensive month, such savings can be put to good use. Right?
Van rental services are available
Nowadays, van rental companies have emerged to make your trip even more adventurous. For a token fee, you can choose 7-seater, 12-seater, and multiple-seater passenger vans based on the size of your group. Even better, some of them connect you with other similar travelers or destination buddies. Linking you with more people reduces the overhead cost for each person in the group. But if you have enough money to buy a van, you may consider used vans or sprinter vans. More details!
Benefits of renting passenger vans
- Specifically made for groups – Passenger vans can house approximately 15 people, a setup that makes it suitable for camping trips, company outings, retreats, and more.
- Cost-efficient – Driving separately or taking flight costs more money. Personally, an opportunity to split the cost amongst many heads sounds like a bankable idea.
- Offers larger space – The Yuletide season is upon us, and many families are planning trips to respective parts of the world. Apart from saving costs, wouldn't you love to travel in comfort? Passenger vans are so designed to provide maximum capacity for luggage, car seats, and other items. More importantly, you don't have to coop up in the bus during your trip. There's plenty of space around you to help you stretch out.
- Van trip equals fun trip – Especially when you travel with exciting people, van trips promote bonding. In fact, you can have meaningful conversations and make friends as you connect with nature on the outside. Tip: play games to spice things up.
- No more stress – Passenger vans relax your nerves by offering larger seats where you can relax and lull yourself to a blissful sleep while heading to your destination.
Regardless of the reason for your trip, check out van rental services or used vans for sale and spend less on the trip afterward. Not only are passengers vans worthy investments, but they also make trips enjoyable by making new memories during each trip. And if you wish to double your income, you may put up your van for rentals at an affordable rate.

why do we pay over the top for wheat free products only to find they are not trust worthy .ive eaten some of these then wondered why I was in pain blaming my own cooking not good to late to return when people have been made poorly .shirley - 6th June 2015
This is so bad it has made me very sick. Don't feel I can trust theses shops again.carol - 6th June 2015
So ,many of our Gluten free products are not . I can no longer trust these brands. For my family it's not just being glutenated it's actually a matter of life. Our 8 year old has anaphylaxis to any product with wheat, oats etc.
We had a problem with a multi national corporation last year and could not prove that their gluten free pasta caused her hospitalisation. When the pasta was tested it had so many parts wheat in it that it followed European guidelines. That was a hard lesson to learn as they were operating within the law, yet our child had to have 2 epi pens and a three day stay in hospital!
sorry but buscopan and peppermint tea won't cut it, last time I was glutened by someone else's mistake resulted in 3 emergency hospital admissions, a twisted bowel, 3 and a half stone lost in 3 months and a packed up thyroid! This is an unforgivable mistake for some of us!!Tracey - 7th June 2015
What is the law regarding food poisoning and selling food unfit for human consumption? I know these foods aren't poisonous to the general population but they're not marketed at the general population. To those of us eith coeliac disease or wheat allergy they ARE poisonous and I think the health&safety executive or trading standards should get involved to find out exactly what happened to protect us from it ever happening again. We might be a minority group in their eyes but we should be covered by the protection of law ad be able to eat safely just like any other person. There has been nothing on the news about this either so a huge proportion of the population will be blissfully unaware. What about the gf flour mixes we buy how do we knoe if they're contaminated too? Not a happy bunny. Also worried they're going to use this as an excuse to pump our inflated prices even higher. Can government step in and give us some protection?holly merry - 7th June 2015
This may seem like a minor issue to many people, but if you are a sufferer of Celiac Disease then this can be very serious & can cause hospital admission. For those who do not know what Celiac disease is: basically what happens when we ingest gluten our stomach sees it as poison and will attack the stomach villi - the villi absorb nutrients/vitamins from food we eat, because this villi is instantly damaged, it causes symptoms such as chronic headaches or migraines, severe stomach upset, bone and joints pain, brain fog & fatigue to name a few. Celiacs also increase the risk of stomach cancer by 70% if they continue to eat gluten in their diet.
I depend on products like this to enable me to have meal. I struggle enough to buy gluten free food - I cannot trust these companies. I get sick enough without eating a product that will make me poorly again and then take me weeks to recover. Not cool.
Do they have no idea how dangerous eating gluten is for us , it's not a lifestyle choice ,it's very dangerous for our health . These are products i buy and had i have eaten these contaminated one's i would be in HOSPITAL !!!!! I find it hard enough to trust food as it is this just makes you think twice , how can they be so CARELESS!!!!!!!SAMANTHA WOODWARD - 7th June 2015
After a year of being hyper vigilant we finally have my 4 year olds iron levels at a normal reading and now you tell me that all the careful efforts have been for nought because "gluten free" cannot be trusted. I am angry beyond belief! How can we ever trust these brands again?Sharon - 7th June 2015
I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out how I'd been 'glutened'. I had a curry and Sainsbury's free from naan bread the other day.... Not good. I think they should start putting prices down...Janet Avery - 7th June 2015
This is disgusting, and they gave can nurve 2 charge so high prices, my daughter has just been diagnosed with celiac disease, she sees dietician on wed, at hospital, as well as for our health, its gonna b double the price, then 2 b given sumthing, that's false advertisement, and going 2 make us I'll, on top of that, is a disgrace, wot happened bout quality control as big shots wud say, some proper investigating needs doing here, and appologiesvas well thank u.lisa livingstone - 7th June 2015
Yes, it is an offence to sell 'gluten free' food labelled as such to coeliacs if it contains gluten.
Citizens Advice can tell you how to make an official complaint if you are a diagnosed coeliac and you have eaten any of the contaminated foods and had bad symptoms afterwards.
I have spoken to genius who were extremely apologetic and assured me they were taking this very seriously. I said I know I won't die but it is four days of feeling awful then a period of time for my body to recover, all of which puts strain on the body system. The lady was very understanding. My big concern now though is can we have confidence in them in the future? I worry to about the flour and bread I get on prescription, are they going to appear on this list in a weeks time???sue - 10th June 2015
I don't believe this is isolated incident. I feel gluttoned more times in past whilst eating gluten free diet. I have put my trust in these companies to protect me...I pay a higher price for that protection expecting proper gluten free facilities. I am especially disgusted by genius who should have such facilities as we should be their only market. I am weary as I was able to buy a glut of products just before the recall at reduced prices with dates just before the recall dates...I am now concerned about these as shops seemed eager to clear. It seems there is no one to trust when it comes to profit!Mark - 10th June 2015
Thanks for posting this. unfortunately I've only just come across the full list is yours :-/ even though CUK are emailing out theirs isn't as extensive :( what I'm most about is the poor communication surrounding this AND that it's supposed to be a dedicated gluten free site so why was gluten even there??? They are going to have to do a LOT of hard work to try and restore customers confidence and persuade them to buy things they thought they could trust as being safe :(Vicki Gilbert - 10th June 2015
I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but just been into my local Sainsbury's and although half the free from shelves are empty due to the product recall, all the other goods have had the prices put up - really not impressed; surely as a sign of good-will they should have put the prices down?!Janet Avery - 21st June 2015

Number Five: We use my ability to time travel. But this time, I'll take you with me.
Diego Hargreeves: You can do that?
Number Five: I don't know. I've never tried it before.
Diego Hargreeves: What's the worst that can happen?
Number Five: You're lookin' at it. A 58-year-old man inside a child's body, so there's that.
Diego Hargreeves: Oh, what the hell? I'm in.
Klaus Hargreeves: Yeah, whatever. I'm in.
Luther Hargreeves: Me too. Allison? (she nodds yes) What about Ben? (Ben nodds yes too)
Klaus Hargreeves: Great, yeah, he's in.
Number Five: Billions of people are about to die tonight. You can change that.
The Handler: Tonight, tomorrow. So little difference in the scheme of things. Don't you remember the Commission's raison d'etre? What's meant to be is meant to be, or, as I like to say, que será, será.
Number Five: It's bullsh*t in any language.
(Five returns Delores to the display at the store...)
Number Five (to Delores): I bet it feels good to be back... amongst your friends. And it's okay, you can... say it. We always were an unlikely pair. This isn't easy for me, Delores, and I... I want you to know that I cherish every single minute I ever shared with you, all 23 and a half million of them. A lifetime. Now look at us. We're lucky enough, we get a second one. Yeah. You are right. I do have a lot of growing up to do. I'll never forget you, Delores.
(On his way out of the store...)
Number Five: Excuse me, miss?
Shop assistant: Yeah?
Number Five: Could you give that mannequin something new to wear? She likes sequins.
Hazel: Think about it like this. If you never time traveled, you never got caught up with the Handler, what would have happened?
Number Five: I guess I would have grown up to be an emotionally stunted man-child like everybody else around here.
Hazel: Well, there you go. Now you can grow up. Good luck.
Ben Hargreeves: You know, I'm tired of seeing you wallow in self-defeat.
Klaus Hargreeves: Well, then avert your gaze.
Ben Hargreeves: You're better than that. And Dave? He knew it, too.
Klaus Hargreeves: Yeah, you're right. You're right. I'm... I'm... I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Ben Hargreeves: Thank God.
Klaus Hargreeves: Psych! (puts the drugs in his mouth and laughs)
(Ben punches him and makes him spit it out in the process...)
Klaus Hargreeves: Ow! You just Patrick Swayzeed me. How did you do that?
Ben Hargreeves: Uh, I... I didn't. You did. I think.
Allison Hargreeves (to Vanya): When we were four, Dad told us you were sick. You had to be isolated. We were so young. None of us knew to question it. But then he asked me to do something I never understood... until now.
(Flashback to little Allison and Vanya)
Allison Hargreeves (to Vanya): I heard a rumor... you think you're just ordinary.
Klaus Hargreeves: You know, I suggest you get down off your high horse there, dear Papa. You never had our best interests at heart. Look at your precious Number One. Luther found all the unopened letters he'd sent you. He knows that you sent him up to the Moon for nothing.
Reginald Hargreeves: That was foolish of me. I should have burned it all.
Klaus Hargreeves: That's your takeaway? Oh, wow. Yeah, course it is.
Allison Hargreeves (to Diego): Be careful, okay? We don't know what Peabody's capable of.
Diego Hargreeves: Yeah, he didn't seem dangerous when I first saw him. Looked kinda scrawny.
Allison Hargreeves: Yeah, well, so are most serial killers and mass murderers. I mean, look at him. (gestures at Five)
Number Five: Thanks.
Diego Hargreeves: Good point.
Hazel (about a bird): Look at him. When he's hungry, he eats, when he's tired, he nests, when he's horny, he screws, free to be free. Pretty sure they got it figured out.
Cha-Cha: And what's that?
Hazel: A simple life with a partner. Sometimes what you want's right in front of you. By the time you realize it, it's too late.

Motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in
the United States. But many of these deaths can be prevented. Child
safety seats can greatly reduce the risk of a potentially fatal injury,
especially for babies but also for toddlers.
Before the big day arrives, you want to choose the safest,
easiest-to-install infant car seat. Yet many safety seats are used
incorrectly as car seats can be confusing.
Rear facing only infant car seat or convertible car seat – which seat do
I choose? Do I baby securely positioned in the car seat? How do I
install it properly in my vehicle? When do I have to transition my child
to another type of car seat?
In this class, these questions and more will be answered by a certified
child passenger safety technician along with general car seat safety
guidelines that will help ensure a little one's safety. This class will
also take a look at the most common mistakes parents make and how to
avoid them.
This class is an overview of car seat basics and is NOT a car seat check! Please do not bring your car seat to class.
For information regarding car seat checks, call Linn County Safe Kids Coalition at (319) 310-7328.
A new baby means
preparing a safe home before your baby is born. Topics covered in class
are general safety tips and helpful safety devices, car seat and baby
equipment safety, childproofing, household dangers and seasonal safety.
This class is for expectant parents and grandparents-to-be. Click here to register online.

When I was picked to be the weekend intern at WDIV back in 1992, I didn;t know what to expect. Turns out, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I learned more that one summer from working with Fred than the four years I spent in college. I consider myself lucky that I was then able to work with him on a regular basis at WDIV, especially on Sports Final Edition. The passion he had for that show was second to none, and that passion has been with me ever since. I consider myself lucky to not only work with him on a professional basis, but also to be able to call him a friend and a mentor. Beth, my prayers are with you, as well as the kids. Know that he is still with you, and his love for you will continue. Craig Wilking

My condolences to you, Beth, and the entire McLeod family. I was a fan of Fred's long before I had the pleasure of meeting him personally. I admired his professionalism on the air and his kind, gracious manner one-on-one. I'm very sorry for your loss.

My thoughts and prayers to the McLeod family. Mr. McLoed made watching the Cavs. so entertaining. I watched him for so many season, it's going to be hard watching without him there.
It's almost like you knew him personally, just a radiant spirt emanated from him.
May you find comfort, in knowing he's in his room with the Lord.
God Bless

To Beth and the entire McLeod family. Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of Fred. Like so many others in the sports broadcasting field, Fred was instrumental in helping me start my career in the business while he was at WJBK in Detroit. He gave aspiring sportscasters such as myself the opportunity, the guidance and the access to go and be what we wanted/dreamed of doing. Ultimately, I ended up going the producing route, developing contacts when I worked for Fred, that helped me land my career breakthrough job with CBS Newspath in New York, as a national sports producer. I would not have landed that job without the experience I gained working for Fred when he was sports director at WJBK. In addition to his professionalism, Fred was a nice man. He loved what he did for a living, however, I don't think he took himself that seriously. In later years, I did reconnect with him periodically on Facebook. His call of the Cavs clinching victory in the NBA Finals will live on for the ages and is emblematic of Fred's sports broadcasting legacy---prepared, passionate, in the moment and a fan at heart. I so enjoyed hearing and seeing him again on the Lions pre-season telecasts this season. In summary, please know you are being thought of during this difficult time.

Dear Beth and family,
Thank you for sharing Fred with us all of these years. A friend of mine and fellow Cavs fan broke the news to me and I kept hoping it was just a bad dream. I just couldn't believe the news and didn't want to accept it. The games will never be the same and Fred will always be missed. His voice helped to provide the soundtrack for the Cavs and there will never be a better duo than him and AC. Seeing the Cavs win the title in 2016 and hearing Fred break down the way he did made me cry and that was the ultimate sports high. I'm so glad the team was able to win one for Fred. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. I never had the pleasure of meeting Fred but I chose friend as an option on here because Fred was a friend to all of us in this Cleveland family. It was a pleasure and thrill to hear his voice in my living room every night and I couldn't wait to just watch the pregame so I could listen to Fred. How many people on television can you really say that about? Fred was unique and one of a kind.

I send you all my love,

Origin Island, or Origin Hills in version 1.15.2 and formerly the Origin Valley. A bright blue sky overlooks vibrant green grass and trees. Most passive mobs roam in Origin Island. This biome is reminiscent of the old Minecraft before actual biomes were added. Small hilly mountains are common. The original rose flowers that were removed in Minecraft's 1.7 update can be found in this biome. Origin Tree leaves drop Persimmons and Origin Saplings. As of 1.8, it is now an island sub-biome of the ocean. After the 1.8 update persimmon trees were completely removed. Surprisingly, the leaves are a block from the mod. The wood is default. Finally, the grass is also from the mod, allowing the biome to have the bright green grass. There is also a biome called Origin Beach, which generates when Origin Island meets the ocean. It was the rarest biome until the Rainbow Valley was introduced in 1.15.1.

BBC under increasing criticism for biased reporting
It's almost as British as fish and chips and a pint, but what used to be embraced by the masses as a reliable source of information, the BBC, is now under increasing scrutiny for its overt political bias. With the growing popularity of social and alternative media, Brits are no longer taking as gospel what is pumped out by, this publicly funded service which is increasingly coming under fire for being nothing more than a propaganda machine for the sitting government. The hashtag #BBCbias has been trending for some time now on Twitter, and with more and more commentators questioning the integrity of this public service, it's clear that the organisation needs to take a long hard look at itself.

When Sprudge.com came into being a few short years ago, it was modeled on the Drudge Report: Links to coffee news and gossip, packaged into a simple, sprawling list. In the last year, their coverage has gotten simultaneously more serious and more fun—they are pretty much the go-to place for learning about what's happening now in "third wave" coffee. I was extremely flattered that they wanted to have a first look at Left Coast Roast, and that they have such lovely things to say about it:
…The book manages to be introductory and authoritative at the same time, no small feat considering the breadth of Ms. Neuschwander's subject matter – the 90 page primer that begins the book should be required reading, and not just for West Coast coffee types.
Left Coast Roast is an absolutely beautiful printed object, stunningly designed by Timber's Breanna Goodrow and rife with lively, playful illustrations by Allison Berg and Ryan Bush. Sprudge was lucky enough to score an early copy of LCR, and seriously, it's a playground of information and art.
I couldn't agree more about that last part, but the way. It really *is* a lovely book, thanks to the work of Bree, Allison, and Ryan.

text: The best thing that I can actually do right now is believe in myself and learn how to trust the people that I have around in my life once more. i thought about the different times that I had an opportunity to break up with my girlfriend. But for the most part did not do anything about it. Even though I knew deep down inside that our relationship is doomed from the very start. i needed someone to love in the past and did not know what to do in order to save myself from all of the troubles ahead of me. But my girlfriend just did not love me at all and did not know how to take care of me. She did not even tell me the truth that she had already loved someone else. i would have wanted her to stay with me and stayed honest all of the time. But I guess that it's too late right now. i want to move in from her and know that my life is still worth living. My life seems to be better when I am alone. Even though that is not an easy thought to accept. i still need to have a life if my own and start believe in my happiness as a person and the only person that might be able to help me achieve all of the things that I am desperately trying to do is a Kensington escort. i know that Kensington escort are people who works hard all of the time. But I guess that I just did not discovered Fiona in the past. But my life all looks better now because I have been able to have a Kensington escort that makes me feel better and helps me want to have a better life in the future. i want my Kensington escort from https://charlotteaction.org/kensington-escorts to see me as a person who would never rest until she will be happy with me. She comes from a broken home and has a lot of things going against her. But I feel happier now that I have a Kensington escort who knows me well and helps me to be able to achieve my dreams in the long run. My Kensington escort is such a huge part of me and I will always love her for everything that she has done for me. i know that my Kensington escort is the best thing that have ever happened to me. And I will always love her and believe her with all of my heart. She knows that I am going to do everything for her because she makes me happier as time goes on. i love my Kensington escort and wants me to be happy. There is nothing much better than having a Kensington escort with me who will always try to love me and take care of me. All I want to do is trust her and dedicate most if my remaining years in making her happy. It's a great way to live.

Let's understand the conservative position. Conservatives want to exclude those on the margins form the healthcare system as much as possible. Conservatives want increased premiums for older Americans not yet of Medicare age, all to give millionaires and billionaires a tax cut. Sure someone pays for healthcare the healthy adults pay for the children, the old and the wealthy, the lucky pay for those on the margins. What is your ideal of a fair healthcare system? During a pandemic do you think your wealth will proctect you if the streets and hospitals and emergency rooms are beyond capacity? Tax cuts for the rich are a Dumbass ideal. The rich will do even better, enjoy longer healthier lives in a healthy society if there fellow citizens have easy access to healthcare, decent wages and education.

Ricardo and Cesar
Ricardo remembers with pride and a smile on his face that, despite having gone through one of the most difficult moments of his life, the loss of his mother when he was 15 years old, he salvaged the best of her teachings, her wisdom, her way of life, and everything that she transmitted up until her passing. She taught him his passion for art, and from then on it was clear that he would dedicate himself to art, and this is evident in his clothing.
"My mother taught me everything that I know today. As a child, I saw how she put passion into each piece that she wove, and it is precisely that passion that captivated me. The fact that I could create things with my hands always fascinated me. It is totally incredible to see how a simple cone of thread can be transformed into pieces of art.
"Cesar, for his part, shares the same love and passion for this art, which brings us closer. Together, we create this beautiful craft that we share with everyone who desires to learn to weave. Our dream is to show the entire world the art and talent of our textiles.
"Beginning to work on our own was a very tough task since we had to purchase the weaving machines, tables, and accessories. All of this required an amount of money that we did not have at first. It was thanks to my and Cesar's strength that we were able to get together enough money in order to begin our own workshop.
"We consider ourselves to be creative men with plenty of ideas and designs in mind, and we transform them into something fascinating. Our designs are inspired by geometric figures, the winter atmosphere, and our Andean culture. On its own, design can be a very challenging task, since you have to square away every detail with the utmost precision. When it's time to weave, if a single part is not woven well, the clothing item may fall apart or become worn quickly.
"Working in our humble workshop, we want to share what we know, incentivizing new generations to get to know this beautiful art. We have the pleasure of working with people of humble means, in whom I have seen progress a lot since they have started to work with us. It is very gratifying to see how they have begun to improve their livelihoods, sending their children to college, etc. with the money that they make working for us. For us, they are not just workers. They are friends who are extremely committed to bringing out the best.
"We are very happy to be part of the Novica family. We are very grateful for this great opportunity to grow and show our art to the world outside of our borders."

To say there's been a huge build up to the release of the Sebastian Ingrosso/Tommy Trash/John Martin collaboration 'Reload' would be an understatement of the highest order. Our inbox has been pummelled with press releases spruiking the new club banger, which is at No.7 on this week's club chart.
But the showing on the club chart has thus far failed to translate into mainstream success, with the track slipping back to No.82 on this week's ARIA singles chart from its No.53 debut last week.
Enter the official video which their peeps no doubt hope will turn its mainstream fortunes around.
And they've done everything within their collective powers to make sure that it's gonna stand out in the crowd… it's rather epic, with a huge journey through snowstorms, volcanos and the stomach of an unearthly beast as a man hopes to be reunited with his love.
Could the clip help with the plight of the track? It certainly could.

Training to be part of the Ghana 2020 census
~ by Charlotte Ohene
November 2019
I would like to start by expressing my gratitude to CFA for allowing take training to be part of the Ghana census. I was happy to be selected for this opportunity and to have the support of CFA to pursue it and gain this experience.
As we began the journey on Wednesday, November 6th from Ho to Oti at 10:30 instead of 9:00 am in the morning, I was anxious to see my new environment. We journeyed for 6 hours to Dambai, the capital town of Oti region to cross the river to get to the other side.
That was not the worst, our car decided to breakdown so we had to look for a different car to the river side. Luckily enough for us, we got a car and we were able to go.
Upon reaching Dambai, we couldn't get the pantoon so we joined the boat. It was a huge experience because I have never ridden in a boat before. Even though i was afraid, I was challenged to join it. The river is big but not tidy. It stinks badly. But people fetch this water and drink and use it at home too. I saw young girls doing this. I was not happy but what could I do?? It became a thought of bother to me on our next ride to the town, that seemed like forever. The world is indeed a huge place. I just had to thank God for his love and Grace. We had to sit in this car also for an hour and half to reach. God is good!!
So exhausted, we made way to the secondary schools in the town for registration. It was successful and we took it from there to go and check out our accommodation. It was not good. Insects were in the room but this is a rural area…there is nothing we could do but cope.
That same evening, we went to the town that is about 3 miles to get some provisions. We came back safe but tired.
Fortunately, the lady of the house was welcoming enough to have given out her water so we could bath for that night. After I took my bath and checked my phone before I realized it was 11:35 pm.
I couldn't sleep because it's a new environment I'm trying to adapt to. And with all the mosquitoes and wall geckos, we couldn't enjoy our sleep.
When morning came, we went for our first training and believe me it was very tiring! Training has always been stressful, packed and tiring. There's no day for Sabbath and no long breaks to relax. It's what I've been doing so far.
I'm happy to say in the trainings we had, the things have been said that I heard. So I answered questions on those. Thus, community entry and civil rights.
And oh…. We have been informed that, the money we are expecting is what the enumerators for the general census take. So here, we are entitled to 20.00 cedis a day for the training and for the survey, a head is entitled to 50 cedis a day because this is a trial census.
The training so far has been very challenging since this is my first. I am new but I am trying to do my Best. We take quick and uninformed tests. And I pray I get selected for the actual survey.
I am happy for this opportunity .
I am able to stand up for myself, by talking during discussions
Thank you… You'll hear from me every week.

Twins are beings than in addition to share the same genetic code, have an especial and intimate connection, based most of all, in which their lives happen in parallel and they do not conceive their existence like an only person but like a hybrid of physical equal appearances, that they disagree almost always in behaviors, which complements them and laces forever.
Twins have not slipped by throughout the humanity's history. They have been object of curiosity, fascination, and also rejection in some cultures. In the myths and legends of the antique are quoted to Castor and Pollux, inseparable brothers in all his adventures. When Castor was assassinated, his brother renounced his immortality to be close to him. Since that moment the Gods divinize them and join their destinies forever.
This theme, according to what we have carried out an investigation, it has not been approached in the Cuban photography and as it touches us very closely for our condition of twins, we were motivated to develop a photographic documentary series to show the everyday life of twins in the socio-cultural context in which they become unwrapped. It is a series that we will obey enriching to the end of our lives.

NISHINOMIYA, HYOGO PREF. – The Hanshin Tigers acquired Mexican right-hander Luis Mendoza on Thursday after claiming him on waivers.
The 33-year-old Mendoza has played in Japan since 2014 with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. During that span, he is 27-36 with a 3.80 ERA for the Pacific League club.
His 5-2/3 innings of scoreless long relief last autumn allowed the Fighters to come from behind and win Game 5 of the Japan Series. But with Nippon Ham on the verge of being mathematically eliminated from this year's PL pennant race, the Sapporo-based club has been giving more opportunities to less-experienced pitchers.
Mendoza, meanwhile, offers a stop-gap solution for the Tigers, who are currently without their right-handed workhorse, Randy Messenger, due to a fractured fibula in his right leg. Although no date has been set for Messenger's return, he is hoping to pitch in two games before the Tigers season is set to end on Oct. 1.
Hanshin entered play on Thursday second in the Central League, 6½ games behind the first-place Hiroshima Carp and 3½ games ahead of the third-place Yokohama BayStars.
By claiming Mendoza, the Tigers take over his salary until Nov. 30.

Things to do if you have two PPF accounts
A Public Provident Fund (PPF) account is a tax-saving option which yields good returns over a longtime.
Yet, a 15-year lock period is there which may have certain complications in times of your relocation.
In such situation, users tend to open another account with a different bank to deposit money in the account. But, it is not correct because an individual can have only one PPF account in his or her name. And any second account is invalid.
However, due to lack of awareness, most PPF users open a second account in their names.
In this scenario, you have to follow certain steps to deal with your two PPF accounts.
- You should note that even if your second PPF account is with another bank, it is treated as invalid.
- But, you cannot close it due to its 15-year lock period. So, the best thing you can do is to deposit the minimum amount of ₹500 to keep it active. This will enable you to not lose the money you already have in your account until you combine your two PPF accounts.
- As your second PPF account is an invalid account, you will not earn any interest on it. You have to remember that you are depositing the minimum amount in that account only to keep it active.
- You have to get the approval from the Department of Economic Affairs to merge your two PPF accounts by writing a letter to them. Furnish all your account details in that letter and request them to merge these accounts.
- Your accounts will be merged after your request has been approved.
In order to avoid this worrisome situation, request your branch for a transfer of your PPF account to the location where you are relocating.
For this, you have to submit an application with your current branch. Get your passbook updated with your latest entries like deposits and any pending interest.
Your PPF account will be transferred to your desired bank and place after the successful verification of your account details and relevant documents.
Your new branch opens a new PPF account as continuation of the old account after receiving your application and documents. Your account balance and the number of years would not go to waste and you can continue depositing in it.

Belkin bursts into Saudi
Networking vendor Belkin has strengthened its Middle East distribution channel and started working with Aptec Saudi to boost its presence and visibility in the Kingdom.
Networking vendor Belkin has strengthened its Middle East distribution channel and started working with Aptec Saudi to boost its presence and visibility in the Kingdom.
The move reinforces Belkin's commitment to build on its existing strength in the retail market and create a channel capable of selling its products to resellers serving the small and medium business segment as well.
"We have ITE Distribution and Ashley in the UAE and we now have Aptec in Saudi Arabia," said Andre Van Rensburg, Middle East and Africa (MEA) manager at Belkin. "Obviously we don't want to start stepping on our existing distributors toes because they do an excellent job for us. In the Middle East and the UAE itself, our existing distributors have a strong focus on the retail market and we don't have anyone aggressively targeting the SMB market even though we do have products aimed at that space."
"We have agreed in essence that Aptec will cover the Gulf region with the exception of the UAE. Aptec has placed its opening stock order and a member of staff will travel to the UK to go through training on Belkin products," he added.
Belkin is keen to build up a distribution model with minimal overlap in the MEA region as it continues to expand its channel reach. Van Rensburg believes that the MEA region offers tremendous opportunities for growth for Belkin.
"I believe there is huge opportunity in the market for us. We are putting in a lot of effort to create more brand awareness and generate product interest. Wireless technology is taking off and many people are interested in this space," continued Van Rensburg.
"Belkin also has many products focused on the audio-visual sector — there is a buzz in this region about setting up home theatre and home entertainment systems so that is another market we are very excited about trying to capitalise on," he added.
In total, Belkin has a portfolio of 12,000 products. The vendor is paying special attention to key lines such as wireless networking products, audio-visual products and areas such as voice over IP in the region.

Summer is quickly coming to an end but in Santa Cruz it's the time of year when the dry farmed tomatoes are at their best. It was this time last year that I my good friend shared a recipe for Pasta Pomodoro with dry farmed tomatoes. This year we're going back to canning, and canning a pantry staple… Ketchup.
I didn't even know that I liked ketchup until a week ago when I had the privilege of judging the condiments competition for the Eat Real Festival in Oakland*. I tasted the most amazing ketchup and decided that I needed to give this condiment a try. I'm so glad I did! You'll want to make enough of this to last you for the year because you won't be able to go back to store bought ketchup after you make your own.
*The Eat Real Festival is coming up on September 21st-23rd at Jack London Square in Oakland. It's a weekend of great food and fun!
This recipe yields 3 half pints plus a little extra for the fridge.

Following the appointment of president and chief executive officer Steve Easterbrook (read also: McDonald's chief brand officer takes on CEO role), the company has announced plans to "reset and turn around" the business.
"As we look to shape McDonald's future as a modern, progressive burger company, our priorities are threefold - driving operational growth, returning excitement to our brand and unlocking financial value," Easterbrook said.
He said that the immediate priority for the business is restoring growth under a new "organisational structure and ownership mix".
The first step would be to strengthen its effectiveness and efficiency to drive faster and more customer-led decisions. The business would be classified into four new segments, beginning in 1 July this year as follows:
The US (accounting for 40% of McDonald's operating income last year), international lead markets (established markets including Australia, Canada, France, Germany and the UK – this represented about 40% of the Company's 2014 operating income); high-growth markets (markets with relatively higher restaurant expansion and franchising potential including China, Italy, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland and the Netherlands) and foundational markets (the remaining markets in the McDonald's system).
Easterbrook added that the structure would be supported by streamlined teams with fewer layers and less bureaucracy, and markets would be better organised around their growth drivers, resource needs and contributions to the company's overall profitability.
This includes new leadership for the regions:

Spring Fever

Well, it is finally here the time of year we dream about all through the long, cold Kamloops winter. SPRING! Spring is here, and Summer is not far behind it. Here come longer, warmer daylight hours and soft gentle breezes. It is time to strip off the layers, get outside and let the sun kiss our skin. During the winter, we not only bundle up our persons against the cold, but we also bundle up our homes. We create warm, soft havens against the dark and the chill. We create cocoons through layers of rich, soft, fuzzy textiles over deep, saturated colours and traditional patterns. So how do we transition to the Spring and Summer seasons? How do we bring the light and bright of the outside in?
First, welcome back the sunshine by trading in your dark, heavy drapery panels for some minimal window treatments. Blinds and sheers in light or neutral shades will maximize the amount of natural light entering your space. Keep the texture open and airy, a loose cotton weave or linen look will add to the light and bright feeling. If you opt for sheer panels, hang them as close to the ceiling as possible. This will add the illusion of height to any room. If blinds are your choice, choose a model that allows for privacy, but lets in light. Blinds can also be combined with sheers for maximum coverage while maintaining a light look.
Next, declutter, pare down. Lighten up what is on and around your furniture. Too many accessories make a space feel dark and small. Keep it simple for Spring and Summer. Choose fewer, larger pieces instead of a bunch of smaller ones. A beautiful, chunky floor vase in a pale drip glaze is a great way to add depth to a room without adding additional weight. On table tops and mantles, work in groups of three objects of staggered height in one light colour, or varying tones of a neutral shade. Add a pop of vibrant green by including a potted succulent in your grouping. This will add a sense of freshness and life to any room.
Finally, edit your textiles, including rugs. Roll up that plush dark or patterned rug and lay down a low - profile rug in a natural, light material, such as cotton, bamboo or sisal. Box up the dark, velvet, wool and silk toss cushions. Replace them with breezy, light fabrics with a pop of colour or a fun print. For a spa feel in the bathroom, switch out the warm toned towels for crisp white ones. Don't forget to add a softly scented candle in a fresh, beachy or tropical scent. Continue this trend in the bedroom with crisp, pale linens, a white coverlet and denuded surfaces for the feeling of a peaceful oasis.
Now, you work is done. Your home is light, bright and airy. Go play outside!

Buzzy Brush Troubleshooting Guide
Buzzy requires 2 x AA batteries (not included) to operate. To insert batteries, remove base section of Buzzy by pulling firmly down (this may require some force due to the silicone seal inside).
Batteries need to be inserted with the correct polarity as indicated on the front of the base section (only visible when separated from handle). Note, the battery symbol described must be orientated to the front of the handle when replacing the base section.
Only use ALKALINE batteries.

Important note about water and extending the life of buzzy:
The internal electronic components are high quality and designed to be reliable, however contact with water can cause Buzzy to malfunction or even fail. When rinsing the toothbrush bristles, invert the toothbrush and make sure that only the bristles come into contact with water. While still inverted, shake well and pat dry to remove excess water after each rinse.
Warning! Using Buzzy in the bath or shower will surely compromise the longevity of this product. We do not recommend using Buzzy in the bath or shower!
Please note that Buzzy is designed to work with Jack N' Jill Natural Toothpaste. Other varieties can clog the rotary mechanism.
Important note about chewing Buzzy's rotating brush head:
This will quickly cause damage to the rotating mechanism of the toothbrush head and will usually require immediate replacement. Chewing on the rotating head during operation can also damage the motor inside Buzzy, which will cause it to fail permanently.
