On-demand cleaning platform UrbanYou has entered the Brisbane market following the acquisition of rival domestic cleaning start-up HomeHello.
The acquisition will see HomeHello fully integrated and operating within the UrbanYou business, which co-founder Noga Edelstein believes is great news for customers and service professionals alike.
[quote]"When we looked at their business, there were obvious synergies that would enable us to quickly scale up across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane," said Edelstein.
"Marketplaces are typically a 'winner takes-all' and this acquisition enables us to step-up and cement our position as the biggest marketplace for household maintenance services, in a market worth $15 billion." [/quote]
Commenting on behalf of HomeHello, co-founder Richard Lin, who started the business with Jason Pham in 2014, said: "We're incredibly proud of everything the HomeHello team has built and achieved over the past three years and we are extremely confident in UrbanYou's ability to continue our mission of providing quality home services to all Australians."
It is understood Lin and Pham will now be working with UrbanYou in advisory roles. UrbanYou was co-founded by ex-Yahoo executives Elke Keeley and Noga Edelstein and connects people with verified cleaning and gardening professionals.
The acquisition comes after a year of growth for UrbanYou. In July, the company secured $1 million in funding, fuelling its expansion into Melbourne. Currently operating in Sydney and Melbourne, UrbanYou has serviced more than 30,000 bookings and generated more than $4 million in sales through the platform. The business is on track to triple growth within 12-months.
Rollout of enhanced features
UrbanYou has also commenced the rollout of enhanced features for their real-time booking platform including the launch of two new mobile apps, and self-managed portals for both service providers and customers respectively.
The new tech touchpoints will further automate user booking and payments, and integrate UrbanYou into the business operations of their service provider network.
Edelstein believes the new technology will extend the company's commitment to providing the best experience on both sides of the marketplace.
[quote]"At UrbanYou we've spent the past year building our quality network of providers, enhancing our user experience with innovative technology, and establishing partnerships in high growth markets," she said. [/quote]
[quote]"We are very proud of our ability to build depth in market and user loyalty, and implementing our rollup strategy to gain instant liquidity, we're continuing our mission to help busy people manage their everyday household services, quickly and conveniently." [/quote]

A Squash to Remember:From Compost to Dinner Table21/07/2012 10:52
12/11/2010 06:44
I had a pepper squash with my dinner tonight.Baked in the oven with butter and brown sugar.Delicious.A squash to remember.
Hard to believe that something so delicious had such humble beginnings as a compost pile put that's the truth of it.In fact,all the squash I have been growing for many years now originated as none other than kitchen scraps.When I prepare a squash for eating,I scoop out the innards including the seeds and into the compost pile they go.Like many,my compost doesn't get hot enough to render many seeds non viable,especially larger ones,so come Spring when I spread the compost on the garden various seeds sprout and grow and pepper squash are one of them.
We gardeners call such plants volunteers.A plant that we didn't purchase or intentionally grow but we're glad to have it.Well,usually glad to have it.Weeds can volunteer just as well as more desirable plants.
When I see the squash plants sprouting,I let them grow for awhile and than I choose the strongest of the bunch and transplant them to an assigned space.I usually have many seedlings to choose from but I only keep two or three of the strongest as squash plants need a fair amount of room.
Now,there is one risk of growing squash from compost volunteers and that is the possibility that you may not end up with the same squash you so enjoyed eating the previous year.Why?Cross-pollination.Squash are insect pollinated and mainly by bees.It seems bees can't resist the color yellow which squash flowers are.Being busy bees ,as the expression goes,they may have visited other squash plants in the area before arriving on yours and thus cross-pollination may occur.This will not affect the current years crop but only the genetic make up of the seeds within the squash.So,when growing squash from seeds that are the result of a cross-pollination,you can't be sure what you will get.It may be just fine or you may get a mutation from hell that simply can't be eaten.Well,no one is growing squash around me so I don't have to worry about that.My squash develop true.
Once transplanted to their sunny location,the seedlings soon take off and begin growing rapidly.It doesn't take long for the patch to get several feet across and at that point I begin to move the vines around to keep them growing in the direction I want.Squash can indeed take quite a bit of space but the vines are easily moved and I usually have them spilling out of one corner of the vegetable garden and onto the grass.They can be trained nicely along the base of a fence to keep them even more controlled.I usually shoot for about 10 squash/fruit and I find that a patch 10 feet across provides enough leaves to produce that many.At that point I will prune the vines to prevent further growth and have the plants energy directed into the developing squash.I will also cut out some of the large leaves to open the patch to sunlight penetration and air circulation.This helps prevent disease,the most common on squash being Powdery Mildew.Hate that stuff.So,depending on how many squash you want to harvest,you don't have to find yourself living in a jungle like Tarzan.Squash plants can be controlled.
Powdery Mildew can indeed be a problem but I will often prevent it by providing good air circulation and even more importantly by the way I water.I water the base of the plant,not the leaves.This is a good rule of thumb for most plants as wet leaves,especially during the night,provide a more hospitable breeding ground for disease like Powdery Mildew.Infrequent but deep watering is best for squash.Their large leaves act as a mulch and help hold moisture in the soil.
Although I haven't been bothered by them very much,another problem that can affect squash is the dreaded Squash Borer.
Squash borer is the larva of a moth and it's one of the few moths that are seen flying around during the day.It's quite similar in appearance to a wasp.The moth lays its eggs near the base of the vine and when the eggs become larva they tunnel into the vine and can eventually kill it.One way of dealing with the borer is using floating row covers.Putting them over the plant(except when blossoms are present)prevents the moth from laying eggs in the first place.
Now the waiting game begins.Once the plant is a decent size the blossoms will begin to appear but here's the rub;the first to appear are always male.Like many women,the female blossoms like to make a late entrance.I will often have only male blossoms for a couple of weeks or so before the ladies arrive.It's easy to tell the difference between the males and females.The males always leave the toilet seat up.I'm joking.No,the male blossoms are on a long stem and the females a much shorter stem with a swelling(ovary)at the base of the blossom.This swelling is where the baby squash will develop once the males and females do their thing.What thing?Why plant sex of course.But that can't happen until the females arrive.Well,they do eventually arrive so we now have male and female blossoms at the same time.But there's another problem.In order to get a baby squash,the pollen from the male blossom has to get over to the female blossom.You've heard of the birds and the bees?Well,this is where they come in.Just the bees to be specific.As I said before,bees love the colour yellow or however they see that colour as bees see colours different than we do but none the less,bees are the primary pollinators of squash.Excuse me for a moment will you,it's Miller Time.
I'm back.What was I saying?Oh yes,bees are needed to transfer the pollen from the male to the female blossom.That's all well and good when one has lots of bees buzzing around but in recent years the honey bee population has steeply declined.It's called Honey Bee Colony Collapse Disorder.A mouth full that means a hell of a lot of bees have died.I blame the over use of pesticides but scientists are not clear on the cause.It may be pesticides or a virus or both.Whatever the cause,I didn't have any bees so I had a problem.The female blossoms had arrived but they had no way to get together with the males so to speak.
The problem called for me to play the role of Cupid and I was equal to the task.It's called hand pollination.Oh,I was as nervous as virgins on their honeymoon but a man has to do what he has to do.It's not that difficult but you have to get enough pollen onto the female or the blossom may abort.Some will just take a fine paint brush or say a Q-Tip,get it coated in the male pollen and than rub it on the female stigma but I find too much pollen remains clinging to the brush or Q-Tip.I prefer rough sex.I cut the male blossom right off the vine,trim off it's petals to better expose the pollen and shove it into the female blossom and rub it all over the stigma.It's brutal but effective.I do the same with the other blossoms and than I have a nice smoke.Nothing like a smoke after sex.Even plant sex.
You will know if your role as Cupid worked if that swelling beneath the female blossom begins to swell even more.That means you have a squash developing.If for some reason it didn't work,the whole blossom will fall off.Well,the majority of my ladies became pregnant and I was quite proud.
Now it's back to waiting again.Squash take awhile to develop so one has to be patient.I would water them deeply once a week or so and give them a feeding now and than.I did get some Powdery Mildew but nothing life threatening.It looks like hell but Powdery Mildew is rarely fatal unless it completely coats the leaves.I pruned off the few badly coated leaves and used a baking soda solution to help keep it from spreading more.
The gardening season went on and I was kept busy with my other vegetables while my squash continued to develop.It's a very satisfying feeling watching them get bigger and bigger.Being Winter squash,you want the outer shell to get nice and hard before harvesting them.Mine were getting to that point as the main gardening season was winding up and I knew it wouldn't be long now.
Finally.Harvest time.They were a decent size and the shells nice and hard.I came out with a sharp knife to sever one from the vine but I hesitated.I took a moment to reflect on what had led up to this point.From kitchen scrap seeds sprouting in compost to beautiful,healthy mature squash.With a bit of love making in between.
Truly a squash to remember.

One of the things we'll be looking at is how to enhance our Google Earth presence. This has obvious benefits in terms of internationalisation – after all, students will want to know where they'll be studying – but what's much more interesting is the ability to layer on this all sorts of other data, which is where the semantic web comes in. Once we start to generate data flows from our deeper contexts that are geotagged then it's easy to envisage a future scenario whereby even modules and courses become apparent within a Google Earth environment.
I firmly believe that in an infinite virtual world the ability to bring what it is you offer to as many virtual spaces as possible cannot be understated. Here's a quick snapshot of the 'naked' campus, from our testing (so still a bit half baked right now – hopefully fully clothed and in place by Christmas!

As we wrap up our 15th year as a Community Foundation, it's exciting to look back at our journey and how it brought us to where we stand today.
This year alone, we've topped $2 million in grantmaking, and what makes this particularly special is the array of issues that we have been able to support thanks to hundreds of generous donors and community partners:
Starting the journey
There's a thrilling feeling when embarking on the first stages of a career by stepping onto a college campus. Through our scholarship program, we help relieve some of the financial stress that students feel when starting that adventure.
In 2017, more than $130,000 in scholarships was awarded. For the prestigious Student of the Year scholarship, Lanphier's Dominique La Salvia stood above the rest and was awarded $10,000. She is now studying actuarial science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Preserving the past for the future
With one of the historic gems of Springfield needing a facelift, the Vachel Lindsay Association received a $7,500 grant from the CFLL Historic Preservation Fund to help renovate the Vachel Lindsay Home on Fifth Street. The grant is helping cover costs for painting, new porch assemblies, window and door frames, decorative assemblies and more.
Providing inclusion
A $1,500 Access to Recreation grant to Fishing Has No Boundaries provided ramps and adaptive fishing poles that made it easier for blind individuals to reel in the big catch and enjoy relaxing and safe fishing experiences.
Nurse-Family Partnership
Launched this year at SIU School of Medicine, with support from the Community Foundation, Memorial Health Systems, St. John's Hospital and others, the Nurse-Family Partnership is changing lives by connecting expectant first-time moms with specially trained nurses through each child's second year of life.
Readying for college
Young Philanthropists awarded its annual grant of $10,000 to The Outlet to help young men pursue post-secondary education and prepare them for future careers.
Helping reunite
Thanks to a $17,000 grant from Women for Women, The Parent Place was able to launch its Nurturing Mothers Education and Support Program for mothers recently incarcerated or referred through local courts. More than 40 mothers and 85 children are being served through this evidence-based model that improves parent-child relationships.
Expanding their giving
The King's Daughters Organization topped $1 million in cumulative grantmaking over the past decade, and this year directed a large portion of their funding to support evidence-based programs for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers.
Coming together
What makes the Community Grants program so special is that it gives donors a wide sense of what's needed in the community. The program invites nonprofits to apply for any purpose, and donors can help fill those needs. This year, the Illinois State Dental Society Foundation requested funds for its two-day event that provides free dental care to vulnerable families – and two donors joined together to support this worthy cause.
Lending a hand
For nonprofits, it can be hard finding the funding to attend a national conference, one where connections can begin or inspiration can strike. This year, the Junior League of Springfield began its Capacity Building Grant Program that offers grants targeted at improving the management, governance and leadership of local nonprofit organizations.
This all helped contribute to more than $10 million in cumulative grantmaking since our inception in 2002. It's something we look to continue expanding in 2018, and we hope you will join us!

There is nothing as good as homemade whipped cream – don't be afraid to give it a try! It's easy.
What is whipped cream?
Whipped cream is a high-fat cream that is whipped by hand with a whisk, or by a hand-held or stand mixer until it is light and fluffy. Whipped cream with sugar and vanilla is called Chantilly cream or Crème chantilly.
Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking, is an authority on the history and science of food and cooking. First, he tells us how we get cream which is important to the fat content:
Cream is a special portion of milk that is greatly enriched with fat. This enrichment occurs naturally thanks to the force of gravity, which exerts more of a pull on the milk's water than on the less dense fat globules. Leave a container of milk fresh from the udder to stand undisturbed, and the globules slowly rise through the water and crowd together at the top. The concentrated cream layer can then be skimmed off from the fat-depleted "skim" milk below.
I grew up on a hobby farm and can still remember the thick cream rising to the top of a huge jar of milk. It was my job as a young'un to scoop the cream into a separate container.
Which cream to use for whipping?
You absolutely have to use a high-fat cream in order for it to whip into a luscious foam. Harold McGee explains why:
Whipped cream is an intimate intermingling of liquid and air, with the air divided into tiny bubbles and the cream spread out and immobilized in the microscopically thin bubble walls…the cream foam is stabilized by fat.
Don't try to go "light" when making whipped cream. It just won't work. Literally.
The minimum fat concentration for successful whipped cream is 30%. More is better.
What NOT to use for whipped cream
The fat content for these creams are too low to use in homemade whipped cream.
- light cream
- Crémette
- half and half
- cereal cream
- coffee cream
- table cream
- sterilized cream
- single cream
- evaporated milk
- whole milk
- clotted cream
- extra-thick double cream
What cream to use for whipped cream
- heavy cream
- whipping cream
- double cream
- full cream
- manufacturer's cream
Non-dairy cream substitutes for the best whipped cream
*Chill them first.
- coconut milk or cream (but not sweetened cream of coconut which is different)
- unsweetened cashew cream
Whipped Cream Preparation
Required Equipment to Whip Cream
First in whipped cream preparation is your choice of equipment:
You can make whipped cream with a whisk and muscle power. This gives you more control over the consistency of your whipped cream.
Most people use a hand mixer or a stand mixer when whipping cream. Keep close watch and stop when you have firm peaks, because over-whipping can create homemade butter instead!
Former L.A. Times Test Kitchen director Donna Deane recommends using a food processor to whip cream. Put cold cream u0026amp; other ingredients in the food processor (which does not have to be chilled), and process for a minute or two. It's easier to over-whip, so be extra vigilant. She says it produces a richer whipped cream with a nicer texture.
An important part of whipped cream preparation is to keep everything chilled.
Basic Whipped Cream Recipe
Time needed: 15 minutes.
This is a basic whipped cream recipe to make moments before you serve your dessert, pie, or beverage with a dollop for a topping.
- Chill equipment.
Put large metal bowl and whisk or beaters in freezer for 5 – 10 minutes. (You need a large bowl because it tends to splash, and will double in volume.)
- Pour cream straight from the fridge into the bowl.
The cream will double in volume, so 1 cup of heavy cream makes 2 cups whipped cream which is enough for 6 – 8 large dollops.
- Begin whipping on medium speed.
In about 30 seconds you'll see bubbles forming and then it will become frothy. In about 5 minutes there will be "ribbons" forming, which are indentations that stay in the cream after the beaters pass through.
- Stop whipping when there are firm peaks.
In 7 – 8 minutes there is double the volume and the indentations in the cream will stay longer. If you take your whisk or beaters out of the cream, it will cling to it with a soft peak that holds.
Stabilized Whipped Cream
Whipped cream on its own loses its shape and volume quickly, so if you're planning to use your whipped cream as frosting on a cake, a filling for a cake or as part of a stunning dessert, you will need to use a stabilizer to help it keep its froth and shape for a longer period of time. Read our article below for easy stabilized whipped cream.
How to Fix Over-whipped Cream
You can fix over-whipped cream if you catch it in time. If it looks stiff u0026amp; coarse like it's separating, you've whipped it too much.
If your whipped cream begins to lose its smooth texture, stop whipping immediately and you may be able to fix it.
At this point, whisk by hand so you have more control. Pour in a little cream (a couple tablespoons) and gently whisk, repeating until you have the proper texture.
(Of course, this rescue assumes that you still have some cream on hand!)
Flavoring Whipped Cream
You can add an extra pizzazz to your desserts by flavoring whipped cream with chocolate, extracts, liqueurs, coffees or citrus zest.
It's time to get all the liqueurs out that were left over from Christmas, and check your spice cupboard for the extract you used for that one marvelous dessert but has been sitting neglected.
Add 1 Tbsp sugar and flavorings at the soft peak stage, when the cream starts to thicken, after about 5 minutes. Experimenting? Begin with 1/4 teaspoon of flavoring, whisk for a moment, taste and add more if necessary. You need to have all your flavorings added to the whipped cream before it is a firm peak or it won't blend properly.
When using a liqueur, brandy or rum use 1 tsp at the most.
Check out the OliveNation extracts and flavorings. You can make anything your heart desires!
Try these combinations for flavoring whipped cream
Add these ingredients per 1 cup of cream (makes 2 cups of whipped cream.) I recommend using a stabilized whipped cream recipe when flavoring.
1 Tbsp sugar + 1/4 tsp almond extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp apricot extract + 3 drops red food coloring + 7 drops yellow food coloring
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp OliveNation Bacon Natural Flavoring
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp banana extract
2 Tbsp brown sugar + 1 tsp caramel extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp chai extract + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp cherry extract + 2-3 drops red food coloring

2 Tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ground ginger + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 2 tsp coconut extract + 2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp instant coffee + 1 tsp vanilla extract + 1 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp OliveNation Cotton Candy extract + 2 drops red food coloring
2 Tbsp brown sugar + 1 tsp OliveNation Eggnog Extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp hazelnut extract + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp OliveNation Key Lime extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp mango extract
2 Tbsp real maple syrup
2 Tbsp sugar + 1/4 tsp peppermint extract + 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips + 3 drops green food coloring
2 tsp instant coffee + 1 Tbsp of cocoa + 1 tsp vanilla extract + 1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 Tbsp orange zest + 2 tsp fresh squeezed orange juice + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract + 3 -5 drops red food coloring + 5-7 drops yellow food coloring
1 Tbsp sugar + 2 tsp passionfruit extract
2 Tbsp sugar + 2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp sugar + 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
1 Tbsp sugar + 2 tsp coconut extract + 2 tsp pineapple extract OR
1 Tbsp sugar + 1 tsp coconut rum + 1 tsp pineapple rum
2 tsp lemon extract + 1 Tbsp sugar + 1/2 tsp vanilla extract + 2 drops red food coloring

2 Tbsp sugar + OliveNation red raspberry extract + OliveNation white chocolate flavoring
(see photo above)
1/2 tsp rose water + 1 Tbsp sugar + 3-5 drops red food coloring

Ack! Many Times!
I read this a long time ago and misread it. Not sure how it happened, but I remember reading that FDR was the most liberal, not the most conservative, of all Democratic Party candidates since his day. In at least a dozen places I'd said that FDR and Reagan were both the most extreme candidates, and therefore, even if you believed Obama was an ultra-liberal, maybe that wasn't so bad. Reagan was the most conservative President since FDR. Obama's short record in the U.S. Senate puts him to the right of FDR. Still, there is a very large gap between FDR and Eisenhower. There has not been a centrist U.S. President since (at the very least) FDR.
I apologize!

Analyze the tax implications
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Analyze the tax implications of capital gains and/or losses based on the following case study. Apply the IRS codes to calculate adjusted gross income for individuals. Support your conclusions with reference to specific IRS codes and regulations.
Rob and Mary purchased as investments three identical parcels of land over a several-year period. Two years ago, they gave one parcel to their daughter, Deanna, who is now age 16. Deanna took the parcel as a gift and received the title. They have an offer from an investor who is interested in acquiring all three parcels. The buyer is able to purchase only two of the parcels now but wants to purchase the third parcel 2 or 3 years from now, when he expects to have available funds to acquire the property. Because they paid different prices for the parcels, the sales will result in different amounts of gains and losses. The sale of one parcel owned by Rob and Mary will result in a $20,000 gain, and the sale of the other parcel will result in a $28,000 loss. The sale of the parcel owned by Deanna will result in a $19,000 gain. Deanna has no other income and does not expect any significant income for several years. Rob and Mary, however, are in the 35% tax bracket. They do not have any other capital gains this year. Which property sales will result in the best tax implications for Rob, Mary, and Deanna? Why? Which two properties would you recommend that they sell this year? Based on your recommendation, if Rob and Mary's gross joint income was $373,000, calculate their AGI.
Be sure to support your work with specific citations
Solution Preview
Their best course of action is to sell the parcel owned by Rob and Mary which will result in a $20,000 gain and the other parcel which will result in a $28,000 loss now, and sell the parcel owned by Deanna which will result in a $19,000 gain in two or three years. (The land is a capital asset in the hands of Rob, Mary and Deanna because it does not fall under any of the exclusions of 26 USC § 1221(a).)
They need to wait until Deanna has attained the age of 18 because a child must pay tax at the greater rate of a single individual or as a single individual excluding their net unearned income plus some portion of their parent's tax (26 USC § 1). In this case, Deanna has no earned income. Furthermore, the ...

Mitel heads out on Saudi mission
Mitel will focus its energies this September on meeting delegates from Saudi Arabia as it attempts to boost its business in the Kingdom.
Mitel will focus its energies this September on meeting delegates from Saudi Arabia as it attempts to boost its business in the Kingdom.
Networking and b2b voIP solutions provider, Mitel Networks, will focus on the fast-growing market of Saudi Arabia during GITEX Technology Week.
"We believe that the Kingdom is definitely going to be the most important market of the next three years. It really is going to surprise everybody. We are impressed with the acceptance of IT and also the growth rate in the country," says Hisham El-Amili, the regional director of Mitel for the MEA region.
According to El-Amili, many visitors from Saudi Arabia traditionally visit the Dubai event and his company will take the opportunity this year to familiarise customers and partners with its growing line-up of products and solutions.
According to El-Amili, the company will even look to appoint new Saudi partners during the event if at all possible.
"We are looking for seven new partners, one per region in the West, middle and East. Two more would concentrate on the application and BMS solutions from Mitel. We are also interested in the growing hospitality sector in the country and have recently appointed a distributor to address the SMB market in KSA," adds El-Amili. Some of the main products Mitel will display include a new specialised banking solution. Mitel will also use the show to meet non-Saudi partners from around the region.

Monday this week yielded an amazing find at Ziegler's In the Country , www.zieglersantiques.com near Hearshy PA. I was on my way to another location and happened by the store swerving into the parking lot. The two ladies working the desk were so friendly and were not aware of the location of any stocks or bonds in the building. After combing through the first floor booths, saying goodbye to the ladies, I almost missed the set of stairs tucked away on the left. Sure enough, at the end of the first row of booths on the second floor I located an overcrowded nook with a secretary buried against the back wall. It was filled with very fragile glassware when I see it. Tucked behind all of the glassware is an old folded leather certificate frame with the tell-tale vignettes that I have become so attached. The lady at the store had to help me uncover and move all of the glassware to get it out of the cabinet.
Within the frame was a the Pennsylvania Steel Company certificate dated Valentine's day, 1882. The certificate has five vignettes and is signed by Secretary, Eben F. Barker and by the President,Samuel M. Felton. Felton also played a role in thwarting an assassination attempt on President Lincoln in February 1861. (Felton family papers (Collection 1151), The Historical Society of Pennsylvania).
|Samuel M. Felton (1809-1889)
Pennsylvania Steel Company
The Pennsylvania Steel Company was organized in June 1865. The following year it purchased land for its main production facility in Steelton, near Harrisburg. Operations commenced at the plant in May 1867. Closely associated with the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pennsylvania Steel Company's first contract was to roll steel rails for the railroad, utilizing the then-revolutionary Bessemer steel process.
|Pennsylvania Steel Company - 1882
A corporation formed under the laws of Pennsylvania in 1895. The company was a reorganization of a corporation of the same name, Pennsylvania Steel Company, the property of which was acquired by the present organization in 1895 under foreclosure proceedings. The plant consists of large works at Steelton, Pa., for the manufacture of steel rails, railway material, structural work, railroad crossings and special work. The company has four blast furnaces, Bessemer steel works blooming-mill, open hearth steel plant, billet mill, a rail mill, as well as a bridge building plant and facilities for making structural works, frogs, switches and signals and other specialties. Its steel plant has an annual capacity of 400,000 tons. The company owns the entire stock ($1,000,000) of the Maryland Steel Co., which has a large steel plant at Sparrow's Point, Md., with a capacity of 300,000 tons of steel rails per year and a large ship-building plant. The company also owned a half interest in the Juragua Iron Co., which has iron ore mines in the province of Santiago, Cuba, and a plan for the acquisition of the Cuban Steel Ore Co. was proposed in 1900, this company having an option upon the latter company's stock until July 1, 1901.
In January, 1901, a plan of financial reorganization was adopted, involving a reincorporation of the company, with an authorized capital of $25,000,000 preferred and $25,000,000 common stock, of which $16,500,000 preferred and $10,750,000 common will be issued forthwith. As part of the plan a syndicate was to supply $9,000,000 cash, taking for same $10,000,000 of new preferred stock and a similar amount of common. In 1916, the Pennsylvania Steel Company was one of the operations merged to form Bethlehem Steel (Maley 2002).
My search continues, I will return to Hershey in the coming weeks to finish visiting the local antique centers.

When most seniors started working, they got one of the biggest surprises of their young financial lives – the difference between gross and net pay! They were introduced to the world of federal income tax withholding, FICA or Social Security withholding taxes, along with other deductions from hard earned pay including those for health insurance, union dues, and retirement contributions. Forty years later, retirees are waking to the first financial surprise of their retirement years – the difference between their gross and net retirement paychecks. Their discretionary retirement income is under siege primarily due to mandatory medical spending, reducing funds available to sustain their lifestyles. This is an area where our industry can really help people plan and protect themselves. We need to begin to champion our experience and the product solutions we offer.
The Retirement Income Paycheck
Instead of payroll deductions they were accustomed to during their working lives, retirees are seeing deductions payments from their spendable retirement income. These necessary payments are going to income taxes, Medicare premiums, Medicare Supplement insurance premiums, long-term care support service payments, and a myriad of other health related deductibles and coinsurance amounts. There is no avoiding these medical costs – they are mandatory deductions from gross retirement income. Clients need your help to use suitable insurance solutions to create more discretionary retirement income. Most advisors have focused on helping their clients generate gross amounts of retirement income, but now they must acquire the knowledge to advise clients on these new mandatory deductions.
The Annual Retirement Paycheck looks something like the following:
As you will see many retirees may not have contemplated these required deductions in their retirement income planning, including the need to make ongoing support payments to their offspring.
The New Retirement Paycheck Deductions
So what are these mandatory deductions and how can we as financial professionals help our clients manage them? Let's take a look.
- Income Taxes
Unfortunately, clients must continue to pay income taxes on their retirement incomes unless they have implemented strategies to reduce their tax payments. The tax deferred nature of annuity and life insurance products can really help here along with the use of tax-free loan proceeds from life insurance contracts. Tax-free income from Roth IRAs and municipal bonds also can have a positive impact on reducing tax outlays.
- Medicare Related Deductions
We are all aware that you become eligible for Medicare when you reach 65 and have to enroll. Medicare has evolved over the years and now has four parts. Some are mandatory for all enrollees; others are optional.
- Medicare Part A: Hospital Insurance
Part A generally covers the costs of being in a medical facility. When enrolled in Medicare, individuals receive Part A automatically. For most people, there is no cost to receive Part A, except for any deductibles ($1,316 for 2017). A major surprise for many new retirees is that Medicare does not pay for long-term care support services, as we will discuss later. There are numerous coverage questions and costs relating to this coverage.
For example, according to Medicare.gov, if you stay in the hospital for more than 60 days, you have to pay a portion of each day's expenses. If you're admitted to the hospital multiple times during the year, you may have to pay that $1,316 deductible each time. After spending 60 days in the hospital, you must pay $329 per day in out-of-pocket costs; this increases to $658 per day after 90 days. Once coverage runs out, you will have to pay the full cost of the remainder of your hospital stay.
- Medicare Part B: Doctor and Other Costs
Medicare Part B generally covers the costs related to doctor visits, tests, medical equipment and home healthcare. Individuals are required to enroll in Part B if they don't have "credible coverage" from another source – an employer or spouse, for example.
With Part B, a means tested monthly premium is paid. According to Medicare.gov, most people will pay $134 per month for Part B coverage and have a $183 deductible. Once your clients meet their Part B deductible, they generally pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for the service.
In planning for these costs, be aware that there is no cap on the 20% out-of-pocket expense. In general, if Medicare-covered medical bills for a certain year were $100,000, they would be responsible for $20,000 of those charges, plus charges incurred under the Part A and D umbrellas. There is no lifetime maximum.
- Costs Not Covered by Parts A and B
The largest and most important item that traditional Medicare doesn't cover is long-term care. If you are diagnosed with a chronic condition that requires ongoing personal-care assistance, the kind that requires assistance with the activities of daily living, Medicare will not cover any of the cost. This includes help with such activities as bathing and dressing.
According to Medicare.gov, at least 70% of people over 65 will need long-term care at some point. You need to have your clients consider the protections offered by long-term care insurance, a combination benefit life insurance product with a chronic illness or long-term care rider or an annuity with a rider that can increase retirement income or withdrawals if a long-term care event occurs.
These uncovered costs and/or the cost of long-term care insurance or combination life insurance or annuity products create another new mandatory deduction from retirement income that needs to be factored into retirement income planning.
- Medicare Part C: Medicare Advantage Plans
Also known as Medicare Advantage, Part C is an alternative to traditional Medicare coverage. Coverage normally includes all of Parts A and B, a prescription drug plan (Part D) and possibly other benefits. Private insurance companies administer Part C. Depending on the plan, your client may or may not need to pay an additional premium for Part C.
Your clients don't have to enroll in an advantage plan, but for many people these plans can be a better deal than paying separately for Parts A, B and D.
- Medicare Part D: Prescription Drugs
Prescription drug coverage, known as Part D, is also administered by private insurance companies. Part D is required unless your client has a prescription drug plan from another source, including a Medicare Advantage plan. The monthly premium depends on their income. In addition to the premium your client may pay, there may be a means tested premium amount each month that ranges from no premium up to $76.20 per month, for 2017.
Depending on the plan, your client may have to meet a yearly deductible before the plan begins covering eligible drug costs.
Medicare plans have a drug coverage gap – a temporary limit on what the drug plan will cover. This is often called the doughnut hole. Each state has insurance options that will close the coverage gap, but these require paying an additional premium.
- Medicare Supplement or Medigap Insurance
As I described above, people who only have traditional Medicare – Parts A, B, and D – may incur sizable bills for services not covered by Medicare. To close these gaps, most recipients enroll in some form of Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan (Medigap) or in a Medicare Advantage plan (see Medicare Part C, above).
Medicare Supplement Insurance coverage is standardized by Medicare, but offered by private insurance companies. More and more insurance professionals can now offer this product to their clients. To offer this coverage new training, education and licensing may be required.
- Long-term Care Coverage
To protect your clients against the cost of long-term care support services, there are four generally available options: fully underwritten stand-alone long-term care insurance, a combination benefit life insurance or annuity product with applicable riders, personal resources, or Medicaid coverage. It comes as a surprise to many people that to qualify for Medicaid they must have nearly zero assets and a small amount of life insurance – enough to bury them – with qualification requirements varying by state. Under Medicaid, individuals will generally have little or no say on the location and quality of the long-term care support services they receive.
Medicare Supplement Insurance coverage is standardized by Medicare, but offered by private insurance companies. More and more insurance professionals can now offer this product to their clients. To offer this coverage new training, education and licensing may be required.
The Bottom Line on Your Client's Net Retirement Paycheck
The cost of income taxes, Medicare coverages, Medicare Supplement Insurance, long-term care insurance, and the payment of the remaining out-of-pocket medical expenses (including deductibles and coinsurance amounts) are the new mandatory deductions awaiting your retiring clients. You need to help them carefully plan for and, to the extent possible, protect themselves against these expenses. Luckily, the industry has a full set of product solutions to help you in this effort.
In the brave new world of the net retirement paycheck, the more you learn about these new mandatory deductions, the more valuable your services will be and the more you and your clients will earn.

PR firm Bell Pottinger 'nearing collapse'
Staff at embattled public relations firm Bell Pottinger have been told it could go into administration next week, media reports say.
The PR firm has lost clients since being expelled from the industry trade body after being accused of stirring up racial hatred in South Africa.
The announcement came at a meeting at the company's London headquarters, the reports say.
Bell Pottinger was unavailable for comment.
According to the reports, the meeting was attended by a representative of accountants BDO, hired to advise on a potential sale.
However, BDO did not respond to a BBC request for a comment.
The company's founder, Lord Bell, who resigned last year, has admitted to the BBC that it is probably "near the end".
A string of big names have already cut ties with the firm since it was expelled from the Public Relations and Communications Association earlier this week.
The company's work on the campaign for Oakbay Capital, a South African company owned by the wealthy Gupta family, was accused of inciting racial hatred.
Bell Pottinger and its founder, Lord Bell, have a reputation in the PR industry for taking risks.
The firm represented the South African Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorious after he was charged with murder.
Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko has used the firm's services, as well as Syria's first lady Asma al-Assad.
In the late 1990s the PR firm worked on a campaign to release the former Chilean dictator, General Pinochet, who had been arrested in London on a warrant from Spain requesting his extradition on murder charges.
Lord Bell, who founded Bell Pottinger in the 1990s, resigned last year, partly due to his unease with the company's deal with the Guptas.
When asked on BBC2's Newsnight this week if he thought the PR company would survive the scandal, he replied: "I think it is probably getting near the end."

Rip Little AngelPosted: August 20, 2018 Filed under: Angel | Tags: pet dog, rest in peace, sad times, tribute Leave a comment
Today unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our pet dog Angel.
Over the past few weeks, we had noticed that Angels' tummy seemed to be slightly swollen. We had noticed a while ago that she wasn't eating as much as she normally would but we just put that down to the heat. Plus the fact that she would have grazed at her food rather than eating it all in one go. We thought she had eaten something to make her tummy swell, but ruled out the obvious things like Bloat. Over the past few days she wasn't eating much at all and she was becoming really lathargic. She had started to bleed this morning so mum took her up to the vet. The vet did exploratory surgery and performed scanns and such but unfortunately she passed away on the operating table. The vet said that she had ovarian cancer which had spread to her liver. Unfortunately there was nothing really they could do for her. She would have been 5 in February.
RIP little Angel girlie. Even though you and Ushi just tollerated each other, i will miss your little personality and how you and Ushi would fight for the space outside the wall outside my bedroom. I'll miss how you would run up the stairs, only for Ushi to push you back down again before running down after you. I'll miss your waggely tail whenever someone would come to the door, or how you would paw at anyone until they paid you attention. You were so very full of life and you really did love every minute of every day. You were so bouncy right up until the end. I hope you will have fun over rainbo bridge. Don't party too hard.

Journey Of Life
Confine yourself to observing and you always miss the point of your own life. The object can be stated this way: Live the best life you can. Life is a game whose rules you learn if you leap into it and play it to the hilt. Otherwise, you are caught off balance, continually surprised by the shifting play. Non-players often whine and complain that luck always passes them by. They refuse to see that they can create some of their own luck. Good Luck!

A few thoughts on the power of the word one
A few thoughts on the power of the word one…
"The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn." –Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall." –Oliver Goldsmith
"Ideas can be life-changing. Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea." –Jim Rohn
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." –Thomas A. Edison
"The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." –Abraham Lincoln
"Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." –Ronald Reagan
"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks and then starting on the first one." –Mark Twain
"Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." –Robert Brault
"Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself." –Julia Cameron
"One song can change a moment, one idea can change a world, one step can start a journey, but a prayer can change even the impossible." –Unknown
In the same spirit of the word one:
"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." –Martin Luther King Jr.
And: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." –Lao Tzu, Chinese Philosopher (604 BC-531 BC).
The power of 'one' has often been cited. Yet we fail to apply it effectively most of the times. There's an opportunity out there for each one of us. Its upto us to see it and grab it.

Pawnee Buttes National Grassland
Pawnee Buttes
What is now a sea of grass and sky called Pawnee National Grassland was once littered with hopeful frontier families foraging westward in humble wagons. The Homestead Act brought around six million settlers to the West's plains by 1890, but harsh winters and droughts crushed their hopes of growing crops.
Yesterday I made my second trip to the Pawnee Buttes. This is a wonderful get-away from the daily hustle and bustle of town. With only about 35 visitors a day, it's the place for beautiful solitude. The is a birdwatchers paradise and well worth the drive. This prairie is just like it was when people traveled the Overland trail. Nice to find the wide open grassland and imagine the Indian people and cowboys who first rode those lands. If you like open areas, this is for you. There is a decent hiking trail to the Pawnee Buttes. There are some neat areas to explore once you are at the Buttes. I love the wide open spaces and blue sky. It can get windy, so prepare for that.
Have a good day!

In other news, here's the latest on that so-called "Talking Points" memo purporting to show the Republicans using Terri for political gain. Seems that it might the other side who might be up to tomfoolery. Didn't Dan Rather teach these people anything?
Here's an item on the gestapo - whoops, I mean police - preventing a priest from giving Terri Communion.
GetReligion also has a very good story which talks about the pro-death crusade, and includes observations from Jesse Walker at Reason an the coming scenario:
The picture was of a soft, suffocating, ever-evolving consensus between doctors and medical ethicists to refuse to offer treatment to ever more patients whose chances they judge to be futile -- and not in the classical understanding of the word.
"Instead," the nurse wrote, some medical ethicists now "argue for a new definition of futility to overrule patients and/or families on a case-by-case basis based on the doctor's and/or ethicist's determination of the 'patient's best interest.'"
And K-Lo at NRO has the growing trend toward infant euthenasia - didn't want to leave the kids out of all this.
Fortunately we still have the Holy Father's heroic example to show us the joy, the mystery, the dignity of life.

Eni and Lukoil signed a farm-out agreement for the transfer of participating interests in three exploration licenses in Mexicos shallow waters.
According to the agreement, Eni will give Lukoil a 20% stake in the Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) in both Area 10 and Area 14, and will acquire a 40% stake in Lukoils PSC for Area 12. The objective of the deal, in light of the close proximity of the blocks, is to diversify the exploration risks, accessing wider opportunities and increasing mutual operational synergies. The new joint ventures will be as follows: Area 10 (Eni 80% operator, Lukoil 20%); Area 12 (Lukoil 60% operator, Eni 40%); Area 14 (Eni 40% operator, Citla 40% and Lukoil 20%). The agreement is subject to the approval by the Mexican authorities.
The three blocks are all located in the prolific Sureste Basin and they were awarded to Eni and Lukoil in 2017 as the outcome of an international competitive bid round called Ronda 2.1, issued by the National Hydrocarbon Commission (CNH). The exploration drilling campaign is planned to start as early as mid-2019.
Eni is present in Mexico since 2006 and established its wholly-owned subsidiary Eni Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. in 2015. After the approval of todays swap agreement by the Mexican authorities, Eni will hold rights in seven exploration and production blocks all offshore: Area 1 (Eni 100%, operator), Area 7 (Eni 45%, op.), Area 10 (Eni 80%, op.), Area 12 (Eni 40%), Area 14 (Eni 40%, op.), Area 24 (Eni 65%, op.) and Area 28 (Eni 75%, op.). In July 2018 CNH approved Enis Development Plan for the discoveries of Amoca, Miztón and Tecoalli, located in Area 1, which hold an estimated 2.1 billion barrels of oil equivalent in place (90% oil) in world-class reservoirs.

Introduction: How to Make a Very Interesting Kind of Paper Aircraft
This paper "plane" was an idea first conceived by my dad. It flies spectacularly far ranges and travels at a slow-medium speed. If you watch it in mid flight, it dips, then goes up, then drops, then comes up again. It generates a lot of upward force, then goes up higher and glides for a while, every so often ascending for more lift.
Being in a ring shape, it has very little surface area in contact with the oncoming air flow when in flight, but its rear fin holds it up in place of a wing. I'm not truly sure exactly how it works, but I have given you what I do know.
I really recommend that you build it, because it flies so well. Unfortunately the video doesn't show how it flies, just the ranges. (It took me 6 total takes to get it to go in the right direction, and when it did it hit the door and bounced off about a foot).
I'll show you how to make one of your very own in this Instructable. I hope you like it, enjoy!
Step 1: Equipment and Materials
- One piece of A4 paper. Thin paper works best.
- A pair of scissors.
Step 2: Making a Perfect Square
Here, is where you need the scissors. Have them ready.
1) Fold the paper down diagonally so that the edges of the paper line up. Only do this one way.
2) Cut along the line at the bottom of the diagonal square.
3) Unfold. The crease will come in handy later. The scissors and the slab of paper you just cut off are no longer needed.
Step 3: Finding the Centre Point
You need to do this in preparation for the next step.
1) Bend the paper over in half so that the halves of the fold meet up (but do not crease the fold) and where the middle line is, just crease in the middle. Follow the pictures if you don't understand what I mean.
Step 4: Final Folds
Here you will make the final folds before you finish.
1)Fold one side so that the corner meets the centre point that you just made.
2)Fold this whole thing over so that it meets just short of the line.
3)Do the same again.
4)Fold the centre line over so you are left with a triangle and a thick edge.
Step 5: Finishing the Plane Off
One more step to go!
1) Crease gently across the thickest edge to round it off.
2)Make a circle shape with the corners touching.
3)Put one corner on the inside of the other side. It is complicated, but if you are building it, you will understand how it works.
To see how to properly fly it, proceed to step 6.
Step 6: How to Fly It
Watch the video to see my technique. You should hold it parallel with the ground, and you should move it forward reasonably slowly, but with enough force for it to carry. You should hold it with 2 fingers and 1 thumb, in the position shown in the picture.
Thank you for reading this Instructable, and making the plane if you did. I hope you enjoyed it either way, and give me as much feedback as possible!

i wonder if somebody could make a k'nex gun that launches this...
Mommy, can we go buy more k'nex? A LOT more k'nex?
wish you would SHOW it - at least - flying... how do we know you didn't have 2?
Just my word. But until you see it fly, you won't know for sure. Make one yourself.
I'm too lazy. Ah! but others say they seen it. OK, I'll believe you. XP
Hey, we made these years ago, I called mine a "Paper Cup"!
OMG I saw your face!
WHERE IS IT?!?! i must see his face
In the video. LOOK QUICK
Never Mind he took it off. Look on youtube
Whats his acount
idk look up the instructable name and try to find it. Hurry before he deletes it.
sorry, the jamalam does not exist on there
Where?! Oh right... yeah.
How old are you? I'm guessing ur like 13
this thing SUCKS! i held just like you said and it just goes strait to the left or right
Carry the throw through, and do it very slowly.
Love it! My room isn't big enoug to fly it properly, and it's raining outside. But I get the idea, so thanks for the instru!
i love these but all the others are good
Ah yes, this old design. Good to see it still popping up in instructables, a sign that people are still making it :) It flies quite well, but there's a knack to throwing it from what I've seen.. Good pictures and presentation.. Get a video of it when you can hehe
This is also known as a bishop's mitre (there is an existing Instructable that mistakenly calls it a Pope hat) - it has been around for far longer than your father (although he could easily have worked it out for himself).

Speakers at Wellfleet forum urge activism and advocacy.
WELLFLEET — Surfing legend Ian Cairns and scientist and entrepreneur Craig Anderson have seen the economic and psychological devastation that shark attacks can do to a community. Both men hail from Western Australia, where 15 fatal shark attacks occurred between 2000 and 2017, four from August 2010 to October 2011 alone.
"It rocked us to the core," said Anderson, speaking at a forum on shark safety hosted by Cape Cod surfers Tuesday night at Wellfleet Elementary School. Six of the 15 victims were surfers and bodyboarders, the rest divers and swimmers.
Cape Cod had the only fatal shark attack in the U.S. in 2018 when Arthur Medici was killed Sept. 15 while bodyboarding in Wellfleet. A month earlier, William Lytton was attacked while swimming off a Truro beach. Worldwide, surfers and other board sport participants accounted for 53 percent of shark attack victims last year, according to the University of Florida's International Shark Attack File. Swimmers and waders ranked second at 30 percent.
"The people most at risk are surfers outside the protected area," said Orleans Natural Resources Manager Nathan Sears. "It's really dangerous here toward the end of July."
"From what I've seen here this week, it's the worst of anywhere in the world," Anderson said. "The number of sharks, their proximity to the shore is incredible. It's not a matter of if there is going to be another fatality here, it's just when."
Sears advised surfers to leave the Cape from late July through the early fall when shark numbers are highest. Many surfers already go to Rhode Island and the North and South shores of Massachusetts in the summer and fall.
Cairns, a champion surfer who also founded the influential Association of Surfing Professionals, now lives in California, but the Margaret River area was his stomping grounds in his youth. He advised Cape surfers to get organized and have a voice in decisions being made about the type of research conducted and shark safety planning.
"I know where this movie's going," he said in an interview Wednesday, speaking about recent shark attacks in Western Australia and the increasing number of great white sharks in California. "I'm the kind of guy that wants to roll up his sleeves and let's get something done."
He said he worried that science and conservation had tilted the playing field toward seals and sharks, and he thought officials needed to be reminded to look at solutions that allowed animals and people to coexist.
"My mission is to get recognition for the fact that humans have rights, too. We have a right to come and enjoy the beach," Cairns said.
Cairns contacted California state legislators and municipal officials to successfully push for a test of Anderson's shark detection system, Clever Buoy, which uses sonar to recognize swim patterns of sharks and alert water users and public safety personnel. At the Wellfleet meeting, Anderson gave a demonstration of how the pilot project has been working at Newport Beach in California.
Cairns said his purpose in coming to the Cape was to inspire people to action and advocacy. Cape surfers Tuesday said they are trying to organize and want to have input into decisions towns are making on beach safety and research.
"We want a seat at the table," said Harwich surfer Chris Zocca, who helped organize the forum. Zocca was referring to having a representative of those who use the water recreationally — surfers, bodyboarders, paddleboarders, swimmers and others — participate in meetings of the regional shark working group. Those meetings are currently closed to the public and the media, as are shark-related meetings of town managers, administrators and the Cape Cod National Seashore.
"We are very interested in working cooperatively with you and to have a voice in the decision-making process," Zocca said.
Members of the shark working group are typically town employees involved in public safety and beach safety and management. They are appointed to the group by their town administration to meet and consider safety measures for the coming beach year. Town meeting voters, selectmen or, sometimes, town administrators decide whether to enact those plans and how to finance them.
Sears, who is on the working group, told the surfers they should approach town administrators with their request for representation at those meetings.
Cynthia Wigren, president and founder of the nonprofit Atlantic White Shark Conservancy, also is a member of the shark working group, and she apologized to surfers who felt their concerns were not being heard. Tuesday night's forum was the fourth such public meeting she participated in as a panelist, and Wigren said public comments at those events were being recorded and incorporated into planning done by the working group and the towns.
Wigren said she thought the next phase, a proposed $49,000 study by the Woods Hole Group of various shark detection, deterrence and other protection measures, had to be completed before anything concrete could be brought before the public for comment.
"I don't imagine there is anything left off the table (for analysis)," she said. When the study is completed, it will be given to the public.
"That's when decisions will be made at the town level and the public will be involved again," she said.

Posted on Dec 22 2017
The new "in principle" clearance of Indian Government to the worldwide airport at Jewar region, off capital city, sixteen years after an idea was initially proposed, is one of the many aerotropolis projects floated across the globe. It is named by the top campaign association as points of a concern for huge evictions, distressing livelihood, and environment.
The global campaign body, GAAM (Global Anti-Aerotropolis Movement), based in the UK, has engaged sturdy exception to develop the Greenfield airport to be created near Delhi, at Jewar, saying, this proposed location of the 2nd international Delhi airport would become a full-scale aerotropolis, including hundred square kilometres, which leading to the dislocation of roughly about fifty thousand individuals. The Jewar case was initially discussed at the ITE (International Tribunal on Evictions) held exactly in Venice on dated 28-29 September, where the primary focus was on the tourism to mark the International Year of Sustainable Tourism of UN for Development. There are 4 eviction cases are examined, like Jewar Airport Projects.
To be slighting a huge airport, handling roughly about thirty to fifty millions individuals per year via an overall of 4 runways, actually covering the portion of about 3000 to 10,000 hectares the presentation at Venice by Swathi Seshadri told, the eviction problem is brought to light by both the "organizations and agricultural labour unions", but adding, yet no official action is taken in this matter. The presentation told that "this airport or project will have a huge human impact. During the initial phase, 9 villages are planned to be replaced that according to a chairperson of the development authority, which is an in charge in this airport, would need the dislocation of three thousand rural homes. Though, the complete project would need the dislocation of twenty villages."
"The construction process of this project itself is a huge enough threat, thinking over the number of individuals whose lives are affected", the presentation said. In addition, "the airport is one piece in this transformation of an entire area of 'Greater Noida' into the hyper urbanised conglomerate, partly an Delhi extension, industrial blend, and an aerotropolis."
The aerotropolis ventures are not the new settlements for individuals. This fresh urban form enables the explosive development in the aviation-dependent trade and tourism. They differ in sectoral and scale focus, but the call-all description is the airport-centric urban growth. Clustered around a new or existing airport, the commercial growth is incorporated into the air services. The airport passengers are also funneled through hotels, cultural venues, shopping malls and entertainment complexes.
Logistics, assembly, warehousing and manufacturing facilities are associated with cargo operations of the airport. An entirely-fledged aerotropolis may also consist of residential premises, office blocks, agriculture and recreational green space. Surface transportation and spatial planning networks support an airport as a central mode of aerotropolis.
The forecasted aerotropolist at the Jewar Airport region, told the presentation, would mean the accelerated acquisition of the "cast tracks of the land both in land allocated for this project and the nearby land", as providing "more simpler accessibility to an industrial platform for overseas investors", leading to fast "pace of the industrial growth". GAAM mentions a 2015 report, known as 'Airports in India', created by Equitable Tourism Options, saying, in everything construct two hundred new airports are proposed over the further 2 decards, as most of the established airports of India runs at a huge loss.
GAAM insists that "huge amounts of the public spending on the airport infrastructure will benefit only a tiny wealthy minority, in the nation where 22% of the overall population live under a poverty line."
The project named Bhogapuram airport has seen many protests by the farmers", said by GAAM. It also adds that "Airports in Aranmula and Sikkim have been also stalled by the community protests. There is a dynamic opposition to the privatization of Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi airports. The Chennai Airport is actually thought to have two thousand acres of spacious land that the private operator can rent the facilities such as five-star hotels."
Along with the Jewar region, tells GAAM, leading airports, planned as the aerotropolis projects throughout the world, consists of the one located in the Maldives that has led to mangroves destruction. There is another airport is located in Indonesia, where the displacement of NYIA (New Yogyakarta International Airport ) in Kulon Progo continues. Another airport is located in the South Korean region, where the resist, on the Jeju Island, is sustained for more than 2 years. The airport in Barbuda is the main cause of the devastating hurricane and bulldozing of an area of this new airport starting without consulting the residents.

i'm complaining about being cold. it feels silly but i can't believe how chilly 70 degrees is when you've acclimated to 110. dug out socks and a jacket and have put an extra blanket on my bed. my bedroom has windows that won't close and if it's 45 degrees at night then so is my bedroom. we know the windows in this house need replacing but i also know we're going to start with these three.
not much progress on things this week. Have the reed threaded with 600 ends at 24 epic and decided it's wrong. too dense. will be re-sleying at 18. this is supposed to be a baby blanket not a board.
two quilter friends showed up and selected 11 quilts of assorted sizes to go to the fall sale in November. i have a garment rack of completed quilts they sorted thru. they've been here long enough to know what will sell and what probably won't. several of the choices surprised me but i'm a trusting soul. i thought i was the only one who loved brown and black together. they passed on some of the most bright colorful ones. maybe next year. so i've measured and lowered prices to what the market here will bare. Ouch! but i have so much inventory i need to make room or i need to stop producing. and that's not likely to happen.
finished the flying geese and passed it on to the group to bind and either sell or donate. ruler work is not my favorite but it seemed to be what this needed.
then did a scrap batik top. just did easy loop de loops with a variegated orange and red. then moved on to a kids quilts of colorful cats.
have a date for the next teacher gig. january 15. wednesday afternoons will be basic tapestry. not Navajo. it's a whole different animal. You can do navajo patterns but we will be using small card board or picture frame looms. i don't own much wool so am begging wool left overs from fellow weavers and spinners. but this gives me time to get some samples made.
And Louie says Hi. He knows he's not supposed to be laying on th guest bed but if he tries to look cute maybe i'll rub his belly instead of making him move. unfortunately it works.
