text: Cornwall_Saint 4,024 Report post Posted April 14, 2019 Arbroath are the first club this season to clinch a league title after a 1-1 draw away to Brechin City secured the point needed to seal the League One title. Raith Rovers lost on the day anyway, so the title would still have been sealed. I'll use this thread to keep track of what's going on as the final weeks pan out. Premier League Celtic are nearing 8 in a row with Sevco 2012 the only side who can mathematically stop them, but it's nearly a done deal. It's more interesting seeing the battle for Europe, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen lead Hibernian by 6pts. Hearts are 8pts off Killie and Dons, but if they can shock the Green Bigots in the Scottish Cup Final they can nick a European place from whoever finishes 4th. As we know only three clubs are at risk from relegation, and that's going to be covered on many occasions elsewhere on here. Championship Ross County are 6pts clear with 9pts to play for as they look for an immediate return to the top flight. Only Dundee United can deny them, and they need just one more point to guarantee 2nd and avoid the first playoff round. Ayr United and Inverness Caley Thistle are likely to meet in the opening round. Dunfermline can mathematically change that but they have to win all 3 of their final matches. They could also go down, with the relegation battle looking intense. Partick and Morton have a game in hand, Falkirk, QOTS and Alloa are down there too. 4pts between 6th and 10th, great if you're a neutral. League One Arbroath have sealed the title. Raith and Forfar are definitely in the playoffs and are now fighting for 2nd. It's likely Montrose will fight East Fife for the final playoff spot. Airdrie 2002 are the Dunfermline of this league, could go up or down but probably won't so either. Brechin City and Stenhousemuir are level in the bottom 2 right now, 4 points adrift of Stranraer and Dumbarton. League Two Peterhead lead by 4pts as Clyde's points deduction may well cost them the title. Edinburgh City and Annan Athletic will definitely make the playoffs. Edinburgh could win the title but it's unlikely. Albion Rovers lead Berwick Rangers by 2pts in the fight to avoid the relegation playoff, Albion's gifted 3pts from Clyde's admin error could be detrimental to Berwick. East Kilbride are champions this year. BSC Glasgow and newly promoted Kelly Hearts have put in strong showings. Selkirk folded early on so bottom place is already sorted, luckily for Whitehill Welfare who only have 9pts. Highland League A 1-0 win at Forres means Cove Rangers win the Highland League for the 2nd year running, and they will face East Kilbride in the battle for promotion. Cove were unlucky last year as some poor refereeing against Cowdenbeath seen them miss out on promotion. Brora Rangers put up a strong fight but are 6pts behind with 1 match left. Promotion to Lowland League I'm still trying to work this one out as it's different from last season. The East of Scotland league is in mid-restructure, it's changed from last season and will change again next season. Right now it's been split into three leagues, and the winners of each league will meet in a round-robin. Bonnyrigg Rose will definitely be involved, while Penicuik and Broxburn hold the advantage in the other two sections. Meanwhile the South of Scotland league has been easily won by Stranraer Reserves, who I imagine would not be allowed to participate in any promotion bid. Bonnyton Thistle are 2nd but I have no idea whether they will feature in some sort of promotion playoff. Last season it was a simple meeting of the two Champions (Kelty Hearts destroyed Threave Rovers), but with a different EoS setup I'm not sure what's going to happen. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hendrik von Kuenheim, General Director BMW Motorrad, was elected as the new President of the ACEM (Association des Constructeurs Européens de Motocycles), the European Motorcycle Industry Association. Based in Brussels, the ACEM represents European manufacturers of motorcycles, scooters, tricycles and quadricycles. Hendrik von Kuenheim has been involved in ACEM's activities since 2009 when he became its Vice President. He succeeds Stefan Pierer (CEO of KTM/Austria) who served as ACEM President since 2007.
At the ACEM General Assembly meeting in Oxford, UK, Hendrik von Kuenheim said, "We are all aware that the motorcycle industry in Europe is facing a very difficult market environment. Due to the global economy crisis the European market has shrunk by 25% since the fourth quarter of 2008. Our mission will consist in underlining and defending the specificities of an industry with deep roots in Europe's economy.
"Despite harsh economic conditions ACEM manufacturers continue to be at the forefront of innovation for cleaner and safer mobility. However a thriving future for our industry can only be achieved with a realistic European legislation enabling the motorcycle industry to successfully compete on a global level.
"An important challenge is the new regulation on type approval and market surveillance of motorcycles currently under discussion in the European Parliament and Council."
Hendrik von Kuenheim will assume the ACEM Presidency on July 1, 2011. Stefan Pierer will continue to be active as Vice President alongside Leo Francesco Mercanti (Piaggio Group / Italy).

Will Ferrell: En Español
Will Ferrell, Diego Luna and Genesis Rodriguez were in town promoting their new film Casa de mi Padre, set for release on March 16.
Casa de mi Padre, directed by famed Saturday Night Live writer Matt Piedmont, is a breakthrough in the cinematic world. It is an American production, shot and filmed in the States, with a mix of American and Latino actors featuring a Spanish language script.
Ferrell stars as Armando Alvarez, a good-hearted and gentle soul who lives and works at his father's (Pedro Armendáriz Jr) ranch. When the ranch is plagued by financial difficulties, Armando's successful brother Raúl (Luna) returns with his new girlfriend Sonia (Rodriguez), promising to annul any debt the ranch has amassed. Armando, however, falls for Sonia and after it is revealed that Raúl's business dealings are illicit, and all hell breaks loose as they find themselves in a full on war with Mexico's most feared capo, the powerful Onza (Gael García Bernal).
The film also marks the first of its class as it satires the telenovela genre, complete with fake scenery, exceedingly dramatic dialogue and an animatronic tiger to boot.
"The most important thing that I want to stress about this movie is that this is the first time anyone has ever done this—anyone. It's history. And it's history for Latinos. It's history, you know, for Americans that such an icon would take on such a huge risk. I think this is the biggest risk he's taken in his career," Rodriguez said.
"There are controversial little points that bring awareness to, like for instance the cartels and what people are thinking about Latinos, what people are thinking about Americans and they are poking fun at it, but at the same time, you know, if its done in a comedy its easier," Rodriguez said.
The film, which has already caused controversy is, of course, not to be taken as a reflection of Latinos or their entertainment content. Fearing that Latino audiences might interpret the film negatively or take offense to it, Rodriguez adamantly said: "It's not meant to be taken seriously; it's meant to be taken as a joke."
The film posed a problem for Ferrell. It was written entirely in Spanish.
"Obviously, not being a native speaker, it was extremely difficult," he said. "But the whole concept was my idea so I was happy to do it."
The actor worked rigorously with a translator throughout the production, making sure he got the pitch, rhythm and accents of the language precise.
"Those were intense days simply because…this translator would show up at my house at six in the morning and we would drive to [the] set and go over the scenes, work all day, drive home together and work on the next day's lines, because I wanted it to be as authentic as it could be," Ferrell said.
Although the film contains underlying social and political issues, the amalgamation of American and Mexican viewpoints is one that proves reflective of current relations between the two countries.
"There is an intense critique on how Mexicans see Americans and how Americans see Mexicans and how we see what's going on," Luna said.
Nevertheless, the film should resonate with audiences of both cultures.
"It would be fun if this movie, shot in America, all completely done in Spanish, was a big hit in Mexico," added Ferrell. "That would be really cool, I mean just from a cultural standpoint."

Medical DisordersPain Management
This is a 2 CD set with Jon Kabat-Zinn talking about the benefits of meditation on the first CD and going through some meditation exercises on the second. The explanation on the first CD is done extemporaneously, and is quite casual. He makes a few jokes and talks a bit about yourself. He makes one mistake in saying that it was Aristotle who said "Know Thyself," when it was in fact Socrates. More problematic is his tone; it can be hard to take him seriously because he verges on the absurd. I had been watching The Office with Steve Carrell before listening to this audiobook and it was hard not to find what he is saying quite silly. However, when listening in the right mood, he sounds reasonable enough. The second CD with the meditations was done well -- his voice is quite hypnotic. The meditations are designed to help people experiencing chronic pain or who have serious medical illnesses. They may be helpful, and anyone who is interested in meditation may find this CD set a good place to start.

A Satyr, Jacob Jordaens (I), c. 1630 - c. 1635
In Greek mythology, satyrs – half-men and half-goats – were said to live in the woods and mountains. In 17th-century literature, they dwelt in the pastoral paradise of Arcadia, where one could lead a carefree life. The satyr here is presented as a shepherd of goats and sheep. He looks up from playing his flute to smile at the viewer.

« Texas AG, Governor Take the Feds to Court Over Edujobs | Main | In Florida, Union Support for Dems—and an Independent »
Richard Riley on Federal and State Roles in Education
Billions of dollars in federal education aid is flowing to the states, propping up budgets, saving jobs and programs, and creating powerful incentives for governors and legislatures to adopt new school policies. Now that it's campaign season, candidates for state office across the country are taking very different positions on the wisdom and necessity of that spending. As I explained in a recent story, some contenders—mostly conservatives—have described those federal efforts as wasteful and intrusive, while others—mostly Democrats—cast them as perfectly proper.
One of the people I interviewed for my story is an authority on both state and federal education policy: Richard W. Riley, who served as Secretary of Education under Bill Clinton, and as a two-term Democratic governor of South Carolina.
Riley, who now works as a senior partner at a law firm in Greenville, S.C., says he hears concerns these days about federal overreach in education. But much of that criticism strikes him as misguided.
The South Carolinian recalled how, after delivering a speech in his home state recently, he was approached by a local bank president who complained about recent efforts to establish common state academic standards, which this gentleman argued infringed on state and local guidance over curriculum.
The former governor responded by saying that common standards are crucial to improving the quality of schools across the country, and holding them to account. He also pointed out that state-level groups—governors and schools chiefs—were leading charge, not the feds (though the Obama administration supports the effort).
"I see this as a national move—not a federal move," Riley told me, paraphrasing what he told the businessman in South Carolina that day. "It does not tell a teacher how to teach."
Riley knows something about the local-state-national-federal standards debate, having been a major player in the Clinton administration's often controversial efforts to support standards in various academic subjects during the 1990s. Today's effort, known as the Common Core State Standards Initiative, is necessary, he told me, because "you can't have accountabilty without standards."
The Obama administration rewarded states in the federal Race to the Top competition for adopting common standards, and creating that carrot was a wise move, Riley said.
"Those are good incentives," he said, noting that "states [didn't] have to take that money."
Riley declined to speculate on whether supporting recent federal involvement in education was smart politics for candidates on the stump this fall. But he said there was a strong case to be made for the federal government's actions in one respect.
"It's very clear that the jobs issue is a critical issue," he said. "The federal government should be very much involved in jobs creation and retention, and jobs development."
As the lingering effects of the recession continue to batter state and local budgets, federal support for schools is critical, he added: "We'll never work our way out of it without strong support for education."

Elder Pilot was written by a former Director of Care and Administrator of multiple Long-Term Care Homes. This is an impartial, third party, observational guideline written by a healthcare professional that spent more than 14 years in the industry.
Dear Elder Pilot Users,
Decision making about choosing a Long-Term care home (LTC or nursing home) can be a stressful, and confusing process. Admission qualifiers to these residences are based on legislation or geographical practices, unique to where you live. This unfamiliar territory may raise questions and cause frustration, as you have always approached your life choices with thoughtful deliberation, and preparedness. For this reason, we have created a tour guide tool that may help you navigate Long-Term Care homes, and provide a starting point for future consideration.
We have received feedback that there are folks who still prefer "old school" paper versus the mobile apps, when using Elderpilot tour information. You were raised before the advent of this new technology, and handling a paper version of a document feels natural and right, because it is familiar and comfortable. For this reason, we have created a copy of the information included in the app, available in paper form.
By taking a paper copy of the booklet on tours. there will be an immediate reference for the prompts provided, as you will have the Resource manual and tour guide in hand. This is the first time the resource section has been made available in print form.
For those touring residences as an advocate, the paper copy has an area to compare homes using adjoining columns. This provides an easy and quick reference, for the future resident.
Unlike many organizations, we do not receive finder's fees from the home you select, nor will we know what final choice you have made.
What we do hope, is that you will think about the provided prompts, and food for thought information as you conduct your tours. Remember, some of the prompts may be inconsequential relating to your own values and priorities, and I encourage you to add additional items and choose what matters to you the most.
Sincerest best wishes as we begin this journey together.

The surname HESSE is derived from the Germanic tribe of the Hessians. The distinguished surname HESSE has been traced to Austria, whose territory was occupied by the Celts and then the Romans. In early history the Vandals, Goths, Huns, and Alemans swept into this region from the east and from the north. In the 9th century, the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne made this territory and eastern bulwark against the Hungarian and Slavic invasions. Otto the Great finally defeated the Hungarian forces in 1955, and Austria, a word meaning "Kingdom of the East," became a Bavarian protectorate.
Research into the history of this name brings us back to Austria, Where the name became noted for its many branched of the region, each house acquiring a status and influence which was envied by the princes of the region. In their later history the name became power unto themselves and were elevated to the ranks of nobility as they grew into this most influential family.
Throughout history surnames have gone through changes in spelling, even between generations. Often a name was recorded by a scribe simply by its sound, thus changing the names written form. If the name change had been recorded in contracts of legal proceedings, this spelling often became a part of standard usage. Depending on the region, a name's spelling may vary quite considerably. Among such variations of the name are Hess, Hesse, Esse, Hessel, Hesselin, Hesso, Hesler, Hesner, to name a few.
After 1272, the house of Habsburg rose to power and began its territorial expansion, not by going to war, but by going to the altar; By marrying into various influential houses, the Habsburgs acquired Tyrol, the Krain region, Styria, Trieste, and the Alemanian Voralberg. They also gained the Netherlands from the Dukes of Burgundy in 1482, and married into the Spanish royal family. Charles V left his Austrian territories to his brother Ferdinand I, who acquired Hungary and Bohemia in 1526. Austria became the Catholic center of the Counter-Reformation, and despite Ferdinand's expanding power, the Turks laid siege to Vienna in 1529.
The Treaty of Westphalia (1648) put an end to the Thirty Years Was and divided up the empire. TheTurks again invaded Austria in 1699, only to be driven back by Prince Eugene of Savoy, who conquered large parts of the Balkans, acquiring Transylvania. However, after the Spanish and Austrian lines of Habsburg died out by 1740, Maria Theresa became the only woman to be Empress on a German throne. They also became kings of Hungary, which became the basis for the powerful Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Meanwhile the surname HESSE has been traced to Austria, where they emerged as a notable family early in the Middle Ages. In 1416 there were elevated to nobles of the Holy Roman Empire. They received honours again in t1584. They were made cavaliers of the Empire in 1974 and Barons of the Empire in 1790 and 1791. They were seated at Hesssenbach, and at the Hessenthal. Tey intermarried with the distinguished Diller family where they were Barons of Austria in 1854. They Branched to Switzerland at Bale, Hesse at Wichdorf, the Province of the Rhine, and many other locations throughout Germany. During these Turbulent times there were many changing religious and political allegiances. Branches of the family emerged as family members relocated and established themselves in new locations as they were enlisted into military, political and religious service. Members of the family name were also raised to the nobility. Prominent among this name during this early period include the Hesse family of Austria.
Following the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, Vienna was the site of the famous Congress of Vienna, where the victors decided how the nations of Europe were to share the spoils. Following this period Austria reached its peak of its prestige, holding many territories. Vienna loosened its hold on its wide spread Possessions, particularly in the rebellious Balkan regions. In 1974 the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Serbia, started the Great Was. the empire was broken up by the treaty of Versailles in 1919, when Austria became a republic. Hitler's forces annexed it for Germany in 1938, and after the was Austria became a democratic republic.
Vienna, Austria's capital, is a major cultural center of Europe, particularly in the realm of music, and composers such as Schubert and Liszt lived here. Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace, has an annual international festival in honor of this composer's music.
Many people have lefy Austria and Germany for the new World after 1650. Their highest density of population has been traced to Pennsylvania, Ohio, California, and Illinois, while Canada German-speaking settlement centered around the province of Ontario and the Prairies. Amongst those settler twith the name Hesse were Catharine Hess, Who it on record in York in 1709; Abraham Hess, who came to Jamaica in 1728; along with his wife Anna and their two sons, who arrived in Philadelphia in 1730 Aneria Hess, whose oath of allegiance was recorded in Pennsylvania in 1738; Caspar Hess, a German mercenary, who remained in America after the Revoluition, as well as Conrad Hess, who came to Philadelphia in 1781.
After their arrival at the eastern ports, many of these settlers would later join the westward migration to the new frontiers of North America.
In our modern period, those of the surname Hesse made significant contributions to society, among them being Moses Hess (1812-1875), German socialist and theorist; Victor Francis Hess (1883-1964),American physicist, who shared the noble prize in 1936; as well as Walter Rudolf Hess (1881-1973), Swiss physiologist, who shared the 1949 Noble Prize in Medicine.

In situations where welding or mechanical joining of parts is not required, an industrial adhesive can be automatically applied, positioned, and heat-cured, all as part of the total assembly system.
Adhesive bonding is used to fasten two surfaces together and typically produces a smooth bond. This joining technique uses glues, epoxies, or various plastic agents to bond by curing the bonding agent with heat and pressure. Adhesive bonding cured with heat creates adhesion with a strength approaching that of the bonded materials themselves. As a result, gluing has replaced other joining methods in many applications, especially where the bond is not exposed to prolonged heat or weathering.
Many of these materials make superior stress-bearing components. Whether bonding metal to metal, plastic, glass, rubber, ceramic, or another substrate material, adhesives distribute stress load evenly over a broad area, reducing stress on the joint. Applied inside the joint, adhesives are invisible within the assembly. Resisting flex and vibration stresses, adhesives form a seal as well as a bond, which can protect the joint from corrosion. Adhesives easily join irregularly shaped surfaces, only negligibly increase the weight of an assembly, create virtually no change in part dimensions or geometry, and quickly and easily bond dissimilar substrates and heat-sensitive materials.

This factsheet provides an overview of the effect of declaring Provisional Priority Development Areas (Provisional PDAs) and Priority Development Areas (PDAs).
This Factsheet is for general information purposes only, it is not legal advice. Important legal details have been omitted to provide a brief overview of this area of the law. If you require legal advice relating to your particular circumstances contact EDO or your solicitor. © EDO (Qld) Current as at August 2014
Key points
- Provisional PDAs and PDAs are methods for fast-tracking and concentrating development, through which existing local planning frameworks and by-laws may be suspended in the interest of economic development.
- While the Economic Development Act 2012 (Qld) requires public notification of certain development projects in Provisional PDAs and PDAs, the appeal rights of submitters that were available under the standard state planning framework (Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (Qld)) have been removed.
- The Economic Development Act 2012 (Qld)
- Provisional PDAs and PDAs
- Public consultation and appeal rights
- Example PDA: Toondah Harbour, Cleveland, Qld
- Useful contacts and further information
1. The Economic Development Act 2012 (Qld)
In late 2012 the Queensland Government passed the Economic Development Act 2012 (ED Act), which introduced a suite of legislative amendments to Queensland's planning and development statutes, as well as establishing the Economic Development Queensland (EDQ) – a government agency tasked with facilitating and managing economic development in declared areas.
The ED Act repealed the Urban Land Development Authority Act 2007 (Qld), however, it reapplies a number of key provisions with the purpose of facilitating economic development and development for community purposes. In practice, the EDQ has assumed the role of the former Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA). The EDQ has the ability to declare and manage Provisional Priority Development Areas (Provisional PDAs) and Priority Development Areas (PDAs) just as the former ULDA declared and managed Urban Development Areas (UDAs). Under the ED Act, former UDAs will transition into PDAs and may be subject to amendment in order to reflect the ED Act's interest in economic development. To this end, all assets and liabilities of the former ULDA become assets and liabilities of the EDQ. That is to say that any infrastructure arrangements, contracts, leases, undertakings or other arrangements to which the ULDA was a party, is now a responsibility of the EDQ and may be enforced against or by the EDQ.
2. Provisional PDAs and PDAs
In delivering the objectives of the ED Act, the EDQ is tasked with providing a streamlined planning and development framework for particular parts of the Queensland — namely the declaration and management of Provisional PDAs and PDAs. Once an area receives Provisional PDA or PDA designation, development within the area is assessed under the expedited ED Act system, as opposed to the State's standard process prescribed by the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (Qld) (SPA).
It is also important to note that a number of distinctions between Provisional PDAs and PDAs exist. Provisional PDAs serve as a mechanism to expedite development projects to the market, where it is consistent with community expectations. Provisional PDAs may only be declared where:
- The area is a discrete site proposed to be used for a discrete purpose;
- The type, scale, intensity and location of the proposed development is consistent with the relevant local government's planning scheme for the area;
- There is an overriding economic and community need to start the proposed development.
Any declaration of a Provisional PDA must make a provisional land use plan regulating development in the area.
The provisional land use plan must be consistent with the relevant local government's planning scheme for the area and it must require public notice of each PDA development application concerning reconfiguring a lot or making a material change of use of premises in the area.
In contrast, PDAs are not required to demonstrate consistency with the local government's planning scheme. Nor are PDAs required to be discrete (in location or purpose). In declaring a PDA, the EDQ must administer an interim land use plan for the regulation of development, which will eventually be superseded by a permanent development scheme for the PDA.
Declaration of Provisional PDAs and PDAs
Provisional PDAs and PDAs are declared by the Minister for Economic Development Queensland (MEDQ) after consultation with local government. In declaring a Provisional PDA or PDA, the MEDQ must have regard to:
- The purpose of the ED Act;
- Any proposed development for land in the area;
- The economic and community benefits that may arise by the proposed development;
- The impact the SPAmay have on the delivery of the proposed development if it were to apply to development in the area.1
Consequences of a declaration
- Subsequent to the declaration of a Provisional PDA or PDA, development within the area will cease to occur under the standard process prescribed under the SPA. Development will instead be subject to an expedited process under the ED Act. To this end, development may be subject to different levels of assessment, will not require referral to other state agencies for interest checks, and will not provide third-party appeal rights.
- The effect of local planning instruments over the designated Provisional PDA or PDA will also be suspended. Development decisions will instead be made under either an interim land use plan or a permanent development scheme administered by the State Government. Interim land use plans will generally remain in force for a 12 month period, with the intention of being superseded by a permanent development scheme that will remain in effect without review for as long as the PDA declaration stands.
|If an inconsistency between a PDA development scheme and another local or state planning instrument occurs, the PDA development scheme will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
The EDQ will also have the power to create by-laws for a PDA, which will operate on an interim 12 month basis. A local government local law will no longer apply to a matter within a PDA if the EDQ by-law provides that the local law does not apply.
Development Assessment within Provisional PDAs and PDAs
The ED Act provides a streamlined development application and approval process for development within a Provisional PDAs or PDAs. The process involves an abbreviated version of the process present under the SPA. Development applications must be lodged with the relevant development assessment manager – being EDQ or the local authority where the responsibility has been delegated. Once submitted, the development assessment manager will review the application and request any further information deemed necessary to make the decision. Public notification of the development application may also be required, but only if the relevant development instrument (interim land use plan or development scheme) requires public notice. The development applications will then be assessed against the relevant development instrument.
The application must be decided by the EDQ or delegated authority within 40 business days of the application being made, after it is satisfied that the applicant has complied with all obligations, including information requests and / or public notification as relevant to the application.
3. Public consultation and appeal rights
Public involvement with respect to development within PDAs occurs at two stages — during the formation of the development scheme, and during the development assessment process.
Subsequent to declaration of an area as a PDA but before the formation of a development scheme, the EDQ is required to publish a proposed development scheme for public comment. The submission period is required to last a minimum of 30 business days.2 Upon conclusion of the public comment period, the EDQ must consider the submissions and may amend the proposed development scheme in any way it considers appropriate. If amendments to the proposed development scheme are deemed significant, the proposed development must repeat the public comment process.
Once the PDA development scheme takes effect it may prescribe certain types of development that must be subject to public notification. However, there is no requirement that certain types of development must be subject to public notification.
Development within a PDA that is required to undergo public notification must do so for a minimum period of 20 business days. Once EDQ is satisfied that the development application has complied with all relevant provisions of the ED Act, the assessment manager — being EDQ or a delegated authority — has 40 business days in which to decide the application.3In deciding the application, the assessment manager must take into consideration the merits of all submissions made.
Upon deciding the application, the assessment manager has 5 business days in which to give notice to the applicant of the decision. A copy of the decision is not required to be tendered to submitters. While the ED Act affords the applicant the opportunity to appeal a refusal or conditions of an approval, it does not provide a submitter the right to appeal the decision. The absence of appeal rights is a significant deviation to the standard state planning process under the SPA, which permits submitters to appeal decisions to the Planning and Environment Court. There is, however, a limited right to appeal against conditions which are provided through nominated assessing authorities.
|If you are concerned about a possible or planned Provisional PDA or PDA designation over an area, we recommend you get in contact with your local government and clearly detail your concerns as early on in the process as possible.
4. Example PDA: Toondah Harbour, Cleveland, Qld
The Toondah Harbour PDA was declared in June 2013 at the request of the Redland City Council. Located approximately 1 kilometre east of the Cleveland CBD, the PDA encompasses an area of 67 hectares — 17.5 hectares of land and 49.5 hectares within the Moreton Bay Marine Park.
The PDA seeks to encourage economic development, with a focus on consolidating Toondah Harbour as a regional gateway to Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island. Development within the PDA will focus on medium density mixed-use residential, tourism and retail-based developments with opportunity to establish a private birth marina.
The proposed development scheme was opened for public notification between 10 January 2014 and 24 February 2014. Public consultation on the proposed development scheme is being conducted via a variety of mediums by both the Redland City Council and EDQ.
The development scheme is expected to undergo statutory approval during early 2014, with the final development scheme to be released mid-year.
In the Interim period, development within the PDA is being regulated under the Toondah Harbour Priority Development Area Interim Land Use Plan, which took effect immediately following declaration in June 2013.

What is a Private Walk?
And why choose it?
Private walks are one on one walks between a dog walker and your pup. If you have more than one dog, the walk will be between your dog walker and the pups in your home.
Who needs it?
It is a great service for pups that may not do well with or feel uncomfortable with other dogs. Younger dogs or puppies that are more interested playing with other dogs than walking. Elderly dogs that need a slower pace. Or pups that need to reinforce any training you are working on. This is also a great walk for pups that have anxiety and or fearful of specific stimuli. Dog Walking NYC
How does it work?
Your walker visits in your time range. We require a minimum of two hour time ranges for all adult dogs, and 1 hour time ranges for dogs under 9 months old.
Your walker will use keys either given to them by you or by a doorman and take your pup out while you are away. After the walk is completed you will receive notes and GPS check in and out.
Is it the same walker?
We provide the same walker Monday through Friday. We only use different walkers, if your walker is away on vacation or sick.
How do I start service?
First fill out our interest form here, and we will contact you as soon as possible. Before we start service we require meets and greets of all new clients. Our interest form is a little lengthy so "bare" with us!

Fashion, Travel
Three Suitcase Staples
While I'm trawling through thousands of photos from beautiful Cuixmala in Mexico to share with you guys, I thought I'd share three go-to holiday looks with you in the meantime. The kind of things my suitcase is never without, and while the items themselves might change or get updated, these are the pieces I rarely travel without.
First up, the little red dress. Bright red is a real favourite summer colour of mine. I don't know if it's being blond or having yellow-toned skin, but I feel like this colour really shows off my tan and makes me feel super summery. Especially apt in the likes of Mexico when it feels almost rude not to wear colour to match the vividly painted walls, textiles and bougainvillea that grows almost like weeds everywhere. Long and strappy, short and wraparound or long sleeves and mini like this one, I normally end up having a handful of scarlet dresses rolled up in my case by the time the holiday rolls around. This one from John Lewis' latest in-house brand launch And/Or is particularly ideal for chucking on over bikinis at the end of the day. It's lightweight cheesecloth so it feels really breezy and good on hot skin after a long day on the beach. and it has that kind of hippy found-in-a-market vibe without being too much of a throwback or covered in tassels, fringing and/or crochet. I'm a fan of opposites as you know so long sleeves and barely butt-covering length is a winning combo if you're petite like me.
Next up, Jenifer Aniston's favourite and less soccer-mom than you might think; khaki trousers. If I'm travelling somewhere really hot where I know I'm not going to want to wear jeans at all all week, this is what I wear on the plane. Unless I really need to (meaning I'm knackered and have zero cares), I tend to avoid wearing leggings to the airport although I might sometimes change into them or tracksuit bottoms once on the plane if it's a 12+ hour journey. Instead, a good pair of slouchy khakis with an oversized white tee, cashmere jumper and leather jacket tends to be my go-to airport outfit. I can't guarantee it will give you an upgrade (still waiting for that one) but it's comfortable, satisfyingly classic looking and comes in handy when you get to your final destination too unlike those black skinny jeans. They're godd for wearing on colder evenings or when out and about if you need/want to be a bit more covered. And I eternally love how noughties they are and make you feel like Rachel Green or the fifth member of All Saints.
Lastly, the stripe t-shirt. Fitted, oversized, long sleeve, short sleeve… Stripes are always a go-to of mine and I can't not pack a few for a week long trip. I love throwing on a baggy tee with bikini bottoms for a beer at the end of the day, or wearing a stripe jumper with denim shorts and trainers for exploring away from the beach. This And/Or one is half t-shirt/half sweater in that it has mid-length sleeves and is the kind of length made for knotting and tucking.
Throw in slip dresses, denim cut offs and a tonne of bikinis and you've pretty much got my entire suitcase laid out.
More from Mexico soon….

Citation: SIECZKA, M.T., BROWN, C.R., GAWRONSKA, E., KAZIMIERZ, M.S. IDENTIFICATION OF POTATO RESISTANT TO NEW STRAINS OF LATE BLIGHT. AMERICAN JOURNAL OF POTATO RESEARCH. 76:384. 1999.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Resistance to Phytophthora infestans has been evaluated in Polish and foreign cultivars reported to be resistant, and in diploid and tetraploid advanced selections obtained at Mlochow (in the breeding program for P. infestans resistance). In addition, segregation for P. infestans resistance was evaluated in three diploid and three tetraploid seedling families originated from parents differing in resistance level. In laboratory tests, two highly pathogenic strains of P. infestans were used: US 8 (A-2) and MP 322 (A-1), isolated in the U.S. and Poland, respectively. They exhibit similar pathogenicity to the evaluated potato genotypes. All material was evaluated simultaneously under high natural infection pressure. Among cultivars the highest level of foliar resistance was found in the Polish cv. Meduza and in the foreign cv. Cruza 148. Meduza was also resistant in tubers. Preliminary data indicates that among diploid and tetraploid selections/seedlings some were superior to cvs in both foliage and tuber resistance. Among them genotypes have been found with satisfactory tuber quality and, quite significantly, maturity earlier than the most resistant cultivars: Meduza and Cruza 148.

The villages and towns that make up Monroe County distinguish themselves from their counterparts in many ways. With enough points of interest to warrant an entire day in each town, traveling from one suburb to the next can be a trip in itself. Starting in the north, in Irondequoit, travel clockwise around Rochester's suburbs and experience farmland, regional history, and vast shopping areas all in one outing.
The name of the town, an Iroquois word meaning "where the land meets the waters," says it all. Irondequoit's borders are marked by the Genesee River to the west, Lake Ontario to the north, Irondequoit Bay to the east, and the city of Rochester to the south.
The Ridge Road shopping corridor runs along the southern edge of the town and is a plaza-lined street filled with chain stores and restaurants. But much of the character of Irondequoit lies to the north, along the lake. Start out in the northwest, at the far north end of St. Paul Boulevard. This area is home to quaint neighborhoods like Summerville and Windsor Beach. Take Lake Shore Boulevard east to Culver Road, then head to the northeast. Once referred to as the "Coney Island of Western New York," this area has SeabreezeAmusement Park, which opened in 1879, and Parkside Whispering Pines, the nation's oldest miniature golf course in continuous use. Hot Dog Row, a stretch of Culver Road along the lake, features hot dog stands and restaurants like Vic and Irv's, which attract locals and amusement park visitors.
Whether traveling east-west along the lake, or from the Ridge Road area north, Durand Eastman Park is likely to be in your path. The nearly 1000 acres of woodland include hiking and cross-country ski trails, playground areas, picnic shelters, an 18-hole golf course, and 5000 feet of Lake Ontario waterfront. A portion of the beach was recently reopened to swimmers in the summer. The park also includes a paved path along the beach for bikers and pedestrians.
After a short trip south on Culver Road and west on Titus Avenue you'll find other interesting destinations. On the corner of Cooper Road and Titus Avenue is the House of Guitars, with rows upon rows of musical instruments and stacks of CDs and records. This is practically a mandatory stop for any musician or avid fan. The small plaza just to the east houses Consignment Connection, a secondhand shop where you can buy anything from an old Polaroid camera to couches and chairs, and Murph's Irondequoit Pub, a townie watering hole offering burgers and other food from the grill.
Back up Culver Road and across the Outlet Bridge, both the name of the road and the town change. Culver Road becomes Lake Road as you enter Webster. Just east of Irondequoit Bay, Webster borders Lake Ontario to the north and the town of Penfield to the south. Scattered across Webster are acres of parks and green spaces, which are preserved as part of the town's open-space referendum. Along Lake Road, which runs east-west across the northern most part of Webster, is Gosnell Big Woods Park, a nature preserve with oak, hickory, and hemlock trees, some dating back to the 1600's. To the east is Whiting Road Nature Preserve, 240 acres with trails that are a favorite of bird watchers, snowshoers, and hikers. Further east along Lake Road is Webster Park, 550 acres with large evergreen wooded areas, a fishing pier, baseball diamond, and campgrounds.
In the southeast part of the town, in the area surrounding the intersection of routes 250 and 404, is the Village of Webster. Getting here requires zig-zagging across town; south on Whiting Road, east along Klem Road, then south on Webster Road into the village. The storefronts along Main Street are filled with small specialty shops, eateries, and galleries. Just east of the four corners on East Main Street is M & M Great Cakes, a bakery where custom-ordered cakes, pastries, and breads are the specialties.
Many area residents know Webster simply as the home of Xerox. As one of the area's largest employers, commuters from across the region pack Route 104, a highway that splits the town in half and is a main east-west route across northern Monroe County, to make their way to Xerox's office park in the far eastern part of town.
Webster residents live in quaint neighborhoods that have sprung up across one of the fastest growing suburbs of Rochester. These quiet residential areas typically surround smaller parks and woodlands in the area. Along the lake, residents enjoy million-dollar lakefront homes on more secluded lots.
With about a half-dozen main roads linking Webster to Penfield, take Harris Road south to witness the rural nature of this town. As one Penfield resident says, "I like it because it's away from everything." A 10-minute commute from downtown Rochester and nearby Eastview Mall, the one-time farming community that is now home to more than 30,000 still maintains the distinctive rural feel of years past.
The town of Penfield is zoned 92 percent residential and consists predominantly of single-family homes. With no sewer system in the eastern portion of the town, the area around Harris and Salt roads is still rural and undeveloped. The far western portion of the town borders the southern part of the Irondequoit Bay and is home to Irondequoit Bay Park East, Ellison Wetlands Park, and a marina.
Weave across the town by taking Atlantic Avenue eastbound, head south along Baird Road, and continue east on Penfield Road. The town becomes progressively more populated, and sprinkled with restaurants and businesses.
Family-friendly restaurants include JC's Backyard BBQ, on Penfield Road, which serves up barbeque, is stacked with a full bar, and gives markers to the kids, who decorate the walls with their drawings. Also nearby is Hyjea on Five Mile Line Road. With ultra-modern décor, this new health-conscious business offers organic wraps and sandwiches and a variety of detoxifying drinks.
Five Mile Line Road in Penfield is known as Whitney Road in Perinton, the next town to the south. Fairport is a quaint village located along the Erie Canal inside the larger town of Perinton. Though there are large residential housing developments and shopping districts, Perinton has many of the region's best parks and trails. PowderMillsPark, located in the far southwest part of town, contains a fish hatchery and trails.
Back at Whitney Road, go to Main Street to enter the village of Fairport. The village itself has a thriving commercial area along the Erie Canal. Everything from specialty shops, restaurants, doctor's offices, and manufacturers can be found here. The village offers great access to the canal path, the nearly 70-mile long hiking-biking trail along the Erie Canal. It also hosts numerous events at the parks and gazebo along the canal.
East Rochester
Nestled between Pittsford, Fairport, and Penfield is the small town of East Rochester. Traveling west along Fairport Road, a quick right onto Main Street takes you into East Rochester. The town has a no-frills vibe to it, with quality businesses housed in the town's many utilitarian buildings.
Take Main Street north to West Commercial Street, which is lined with storefront properties including bars, gift shops, stores, and grocers. Bel Vedere Deli and Market is an Italian market that stocks a variety of imported cheeses, homemade sausages, and assorted Italian canned products.
With the small-town feel comes a sense of community and sense of history. Edmund Lyon Park is situated in the center of town and features amenities such as a baseball field, basketball courts, a playground, and a gazebo. On South Main Street the preserved Rialto Theatre has now been converted into an apartment building. Historic buildings and areas are marked with signs throughout the town.
Heading west on Commercial Street you'll encounter an onramp to Route 490. One quick exit later is Linden Avenue, which is Elmwood Avenue in Brighton. Bordering the city of Rochester on two sides, Brighton is an upscale town to the southeast of the city with a large Jewish population. The landscape is dotted with temples and synagogues. Navigate east on Elmwood Avenue, take a left on Monroe Avenue, and continue south on Edgewood Avenue to the Jewish Community Center, which serves both the Greater Rochester Jewish community and the community at large with its gym, day-care center, coffee shop, and live theater.
Shopping in Brighton can be found at specialty shops in plazas and stand-alone buildings. Like the name implies, Cook's World on Monroe Avenue is a one-stop shop for anything kitchen related. In the Brighton Commons, a plaza located at 12 Corners, where Elmwood, Monroe, and Winton meet, you'll find Chic Feet Boutique, which sells unique women's clothing, shoes, and handbags.
Brighton is also home to MonroeCommunity College on Henrietta Road; the school enrolls more than 30,000 students annually.
Bordering five towns, Pittsford is an upscale suburb located southeast of Rochester. Monroe Avenue leads directly into the center of both the town and village of Pittsford. The town includes both NazarethCollege and St. JohnFisherCollege, and the Erie Canal, which runs through the center of the village.
Shopping districts have sprung up along the canal, including Schoen Place and Northfield Common. Both are accessible from Monroe Avenue, which becomes State Street after crossing over Main Street in the village. Towpath Bike Shop in Schoen Place caters to avid cyclists and hobbyists of all ages, offering bike sales, repairs, and rentals. Residents and visitors can also rent bicycles and kayaks at the shop for use along the canal and the adjacent, paved canal path.
The village center has many quaint boutiques, eateries, and specialty shops. Further down Monroe Avenue, closer to Brighton in PittsfordPlaza, you'll find a variety of national chain retail stores, as well as local shops like Irish & Celtic Imports, a unique shop that stocks items from Ireland ranging from clothing to knick-knacks.
Located south of Rochester and west of Pittsford, Henrietta is home to two colleges, Rochester Institute of Technology and The National Technical Institute for the Deaf. It is connected to Pittsford by several streets, including Jefferson Road. Henrietta is the commercial capitol of the area, and although it is known for Marketplace Mall and the various plazas and big-box retailers that line Jefferson Road, there are many other, lesser-known, treasures to the south.
From Jefferson Road, head south along Pinnacle Road and take Calkins Road east to the corner of Pittsford-Henrietta Town Line Road. There you'll find TinkerNaturePark, a 68-acre stretch of land along the Henrietta-Pittsford border that includes a snake hibernaculum (an area where the region's snakes use to hibernate for the winter), an indoor observation beehive, and plenty of trails. Located at the entrance to the park is Tinker Homestead and Farm Museum, where visitors can catch a glimpse into 19th century life.
Take Lehigh Station Road straight across Henrietta to the far southwest corner of town, away from the hustle and bustle of Jefferson Road. The winding streets here make up the town's many residential neighborhoods. One notable address is 135 Martin Road. With its bright gold paint, purple-and-green trim, and red roof, the Watpa Lao Buddhadham, a Laotian Buddhism center, stands out among the single-family homes and townhouses in the area.
Located southwest of Rochester, Chili borders Henrietta and the Genesee River to the east, and Gates to the north. Cross into Chili using Jefferson Road, which crosses over the only bridge linking the two communities. The northern edge of town is a developed residential area with plenty of shopping in plazas along Chili Avenue, and is also the location of Roberts Wesleyan College.
In contrast, the southern portion of town is largely undeveloped and home to several of the region's parks and streams. Residents canoe along Black Creek, which winds east-west across the middle of Chili. Head south along Scottsville-Chili Road and west along Morgan Road to the southwestern corner. There is the expansive Black Creek Park, with much of its 1500 acres of parkland left undeveloped. There are still plenty of trails to cross-county ski, hike, and go horseback riding though.
Accessible from the north end of Black Creek Park, take Chili Avenue into Gates, located directly west of Rochester. The town is a mixture of light industrial and residential neighborhoods, and is the smallest of the western suburbs.
Gates has many of the same amenities as other towns in the region; parks, access to the Erie Canal, and lots of nearby shopping. Historically, the once-thriving farmland of the area can be revisited at the Hinchey House on Hinchey Road, just a few blocks from Chili Avenue. The house is currently undergoing repairs by the town of Gates and the Gates Historical Society.
Weave north through several connecting streets to Long Pond Road, which leads to Greece, the most densely populated of the western suburbs. Greece is situated to the northwest of the city along Lake Ontario and is a vast area of sprawling neighborhoods with ranch houses and townhouses and a few main thoroughfares like Long Pond and Ridge roads.
The northernmost portion of the town, along the lake, includes Braddock Bay State Fish and Wildlife Management Area, a large preserve stretching from Crescent Beach, past Long Pond, to Manitou Beach. Bird watchers flock to the region to spot the many migratory birds that depend on the area.
Near many beaches, the strip of land along Lake Ontario is home to several eateries, including Schallers, a burger joint on Edgemere Drive. Locals and beach visitors pack the restaurant for mealtime.
The outlying areas
Take Route 490 west from the city and merge onto 531 before exiting at Washington Street. From there take NY-31 into Brockport. With the SUNY Brockport college campus near the heart of the village, the downtown features numerous bars, shops, and eateries. The quaint village has access to the canal path, and holds several annual festivals that cater to families.
Canandaigua is located in Ontario County. From Rochester, take 490 east to the Thruway (I-90). Hop off at the first exit and head south along Route 332 into Canandaigua. In town, there is ample shopping along Main Street, access to Canandaigua Lake at KershawPark, and plenty of big-box stores along Routes 5 and 20. In addition to its beautiful lake, Canandaigua is home to a number of notable destinations. Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion is a state historic parks open during the warm months with a number of specialized gardens, a museum, and a wine center. The New York Wine & Culinary Center offers cooking classes and demonstrations by visiting chefs, plus fine dining opportunities. There is also the ConstellationBrandsPerformingArtsCenter, which is located on the Finger LakesCommunity College campus and holds many major concerts throughout the warm months.
Geneseo is in Livingston County. From the east side of Rochester, take 590 and merge onto 390 South. From the west side, take 390 the entire way and use Exit 8, taking US-20A west into town. Many of the town's bars, coffee shops, and restaurants are frequented by SUNY Geneseo students. There are quiet, residential neighborhoods filled with historic homes, and rural stretches of farm land surrounding Main Street. The town also borders Conesus Lake, one of the Finger Lakes.

What is a Dietary Supplement?
Simply put, anything which supplements our dietary needs is a dietary supplement. When we do not get the vital elements like vitamins, minerals, amino acids etc. from the food that we eat, we need to take them separately. The most easy way to have them is in the way of dietary supplements, sometimes called nutritional supplements. They come in the form of pills, capsules, tonics, herbs, gel or anything that can be taken by mouth. They are packed and labeled as dietary supplements.
Are Dietary Supplements Effective?
Many researches have been conducted to find the answer to this very vital question. These researches have proved that some dietary supplements are effective in preventing or treating diseases. For example, folic acid, also known as vitamin B9 or folacin, prevents certain birth defects. Many other vitamins and zinc can slow the progression of the age- related eye disease macular degeneration. Calcium and vitamin D supplements help in preventing and treating bone loss and osteoporosis. Omega-3 fatty acids are good for those having coronary disease. However, more researches are needed in order to establish a firm conclusion about the benefits of dietary supplements.
What are the Risks Involved in Dietary Supplements?
If anyone thinks about replacing regular medication with dietary supplements, s/he must consult with the health care provider before doing so. Although most of the dietary supplements are prepared from natural sources but natural does not always mean safe. For instance, the herbs comfrey and kava can damage the liver. In fact, the term "standardized," "verified" or "certified" does not necessarily guarantee product quality or consistency.
- Certain dietary supplements might increase the risk of bleeding or affect the response to anesthesia. So, it is always advisable to consult the doctor or health practitioner before taking dietary supplement prior to any surgery.
- Most of the dietary supplements have not been tested on pregnant women, nursing mothers, or children. Its essential to take professional consultations before administering any supplement to such people.
- A herbal supplement may not contain the correct plant species or the correct amount of such ingredients.


text: AMA National C'ship To Bump Off | August 3, 2004 The following is a press release from AMA Sports: An outstanding field of 22 national and international racers will answer the call on August 6 when the 2004 AMA National Championship Speedway Series Presented by Progressive Insurance begins. Headed by two former World Champions — Billy Hamill (1996) and Greg Hancock (1997) — the field also boasts five past AMA National Champions: Hancock, Hamill, Mike Faria, Bobby Schwartz and Chris Manchester. The three-round series begins on Friday, August 6, at Fast Fridays Speedway in Auburn, California, and heads south the next night to Wheel 2 Wheel Raceway in Victorville, California. The final round of the series will be September 24 at Fast Fridays Speedway. Under a format unique to the AMA National Championship Series, there are 14 riders seeded into the main program of the first event, and eight others will contest a preliminary round from which only two riders will advance to round out a 16-rider championship program. Each evening of racing will pack 28 four-lap sprints into a three-hour program. The winner of each round will be decided in a sudden-death sprint featuring the four riders with the most points from their five programmed heat races. At the conclusion of each round of the series, the two lowest-scoring riders are relegated to the preliminary round at the next race. Greg Hancock, who is currently the No. 5 ranked rider in the world, is the pre-race favorite and the defending champion of AMA Speedway. He was closely trailed in the 2003 series by young lions Ryan Fisher and Billy Janniro and fellow veteran Hamill. Those four riders, as well as Eric Carrillo, are all California natives who are based in Europe. One rider in the series, Bartek Bardecki, is a Polish national who races full-time in the United States. All but one of the remaining riders hail from California or Nevada, while New Yorker Tom Sephton is the sole Eastern States representative in the series. Sephton earned his slot by winning a special qualifying event in June at Champion Speedway in Owego, New York. Four riders will be making their AMA National Championship Series debuts: Justin Boyle, Matt Browne, Shawn Harmatiuk and Sephton.

Christina Swaan, your friendly Academic Technology Consultant, shares some great ideas for keeping safe!
Why talk about risk?
We do everything online these days - from work to leisure, banking, game-playing, and communicating with friends and family. Unfortunately, this has exposed our computers and our private data to some significant risks. In this issue I'd like to explain some easy ways that you can protect your computers and web-accessible devices from some of the dangerous threats that are lurking out there online.
Internet browsing safety
Spend enough time on the Internet and you've probably seen some pop=up somewhere that informed you of a virus or malware on your computer. Sometimes you may even get a message saying that your computer can be cleaned up if you download and install a free update or piece of software. Chances are, these pop-ups or warnings are actually viruses or malware trying to get onto your computer by tricking you into believing that you are doing the right thing by authorizing the software to install. Some of the most common of pieces of these software go by official-sounding names such as "Clean my mac" or "Mac Keeper".
Avoid attacks like these by following a few basic tips:
- If you didn't specifically choose to download and install that piece of software it is likely malware. Do not try to install something without consulting a technician.
- When in doubt, quit your browser. If a window or pop-up appears with which you aren't familiar, close out of it – do not click continue, ok, or any other suggested buttons within the window. Doing so may download and install unwanted software.
- Avoid clicking on unusual links or websites posted on social media sites and within emails. Many social media sites allow third party sites to access data/settings from your browser. When presented with an option to do so, do not allow a site that you are unfamiliar with gain access to this information.
Mobile device security
Your iPhone, Android, iPad, tablet PC, or other mobile device is probably the piece of technology that spends the most time with you, and travels with you almost everywhere you go. Because of this, unfortunately these types of devices are the most at-risk of becoming compromised. You can make your devices a little bit more secure in several ways.
- Always enable the security lock password or numeric code on your device. If you accidentally misplace your phone or leave your mobile device unattended, enabling the password lock will prevent someone from easily picking it up and accessing your private information and settings.
- If your device allows it, enable fingerprint authentication. This will lock your device down so that only you have access to it, and if you have trouble remembering passwords this is a great way to add security without having to remember yet another code.
- Avoid connecting to free open wireless networks (this also applies to computers). Free and open wifi networks are all over the place – libraries, coffee shops, airports. Unfortunately, these unsecure wireless networks are prime locations for persons trying to collect private information such as passwords, logins, and other information that may be shared over the web. Sometimes, particularly creative thieves will use a mobile hotspot to create an open wireless network that uses a name similar to that of a legitimate secure network. Secure networks will always require a login password of some kind. If the network does not have a password, you may want to think twice before connecting.
Real vs fake tech support
There is nearly an unlimited number of places where you can get information and support for technology. A simple Google search for drivers, support, or information can bring up many apparently helpful results and websites that appear to have exactly the information you need. BEWARE – things are not always as they seem! Tech support is a huge industry, and identity thieves and hackers have been quick to recognize this. Among some of the more common scams out there now are ones which feature fake tech support ads, websites, or support pages. These sites may contain a lot of helpful information, or direct you to contact a seemingly friendly tech-support agent. The reality is that these sites exist to try to get critical information from you so that they can gain access to your computer and private data. Avoiding these scams can be done if you practice just a little bit of caution. Here are a few tips how!
- Do NOT download drivers or updates from anywhere except the official manufacturer's web-site. Most devices and peripherals will have a tech-support site listed on the manual or user documentation that came with them, e.g. hp.com, dell.com. Never download a driver from a third party source.
- Do NOT reply to pop-up ads, or other web-based communications that ask you to talk to a tech support representative for services you did not specifically request to install.
- Do NOT give out your password. If you receive an email asking you to provide information such as passwords, private information, login information, or other data that is not related to something you requested it is most likely a scam. Do NOT provide your password to these types of communications.
- If a tech support representative calls you and you haven't requested support, it is a scam. If you've ever tried getting ahold of tech support for a major product company I'm sure you're familiar with long wait times, and how difficult it is to reach a real person. Trust me, their tech support is NOT going to call you to let you know that there is a virus on your computer. If you didn't ask them to call you, hang up the phone.
How can I get help?
Here at Dartmouth we offer a variety of options for students, faculty, and staff to get the assistance necessary to keep their technology operating properly, efficiently and securely. If you ever have questions about your computer, the legitimacy of an update or piece of software, or need general support with your mobile device you can reach the Dartmouth Information Technology Services department by:

The wine region is on the Great Hungarian Plain, this is one of the hottest regions in Hungary. Though there are evidences that there was some winemaking in the 11th century, significant grape growing was introduced here to stabilize quicksand in the 18th century. Visiting the region you fill find hundreds of hobby winemakers making wine for themselves, and some of them produce remarkable wines, but these are not available outside the region.
Quality wines are hard to find from the region

March 2016
Leading contractor Wade Adams Contracting has recently taken delivery of a range of Volvo construction vehicles to support timely completion of its infrastructure projects in the UAE.
The company said it has invested heavily in premium machines and large support crews as reliable machinery is a major factor in ensuring that infrastructure projects are finished on time.
The company's fleet comprises 17 pavers, 90 per cent of which are now Volvo. It is also using Volvo for wheel loaders and excavators. In recent months, the company has taken delivery of several 30-tonne Volvo EC300 excavators, ABG Titan 325 and ABG Titan 7820 pavers – the latter fitted with a MB122 screed that allows paving widths of up to 9 m.
"We prefer to focus on just the leading brands, but in the boom of 2006 there were almost no machines available, so we ended up with lots of brands, which was not by choice," said Issa Ayoub, Wade Adams Contracting's plant manager for the UAE and Qatar.
"Now that things are calmer, we are focusing on just the key brands in each product type," he added.
"Confidence is back but winning work is still difficult. Competition is tough and pressure on prices is very high. Fortunately for us, quality is the biggest criteria for winning contracts, and Wade Adams has an excellent reputation for quality in the bridge building, water works and asphalt sectors. Completing on time is another key criterion," Ayoub said.
Fuel efficiency is an important factor when choosing what machines to purchase, he said.
"Fuel is a major factor in our type of work, and can make the difference between winning or losing a tender and making or losing money. This is not always easy to calculate, as fuel consumption can vary by up to 35 per cent between heavy versus light work. The differences on fuel use between brands can be even more than that – up to 70 per cent – and the operator also have a big impact. Volvo has a good reputation in fuel efficiency, and it was an important element in the decision for us to select its machines," Ayoub explained.
To offset this fuel challenge, Wade Adams has introduced a fuel management system that involves eco-operator training and selects the most fuel-efficient brands.
In order to get the best out of the machines, maintenance also plays an important part, according to Wade Adams, which has more than 450 people in its maintenance department, and tries to do everything in-house.
However, he said: "With the increasing use of sophisticated electronics, this is getting harder but we are well supported by our local Volvo dealer Famco, which faithfully supply parts and technical training, and where needed."
"Operator training is vital," he said, adding, "With machines becoming more sophisticated, operators need to be taught how to use them properly, in order to lower fuel use, reduce breakage and increase productivity. Thankfully, Famco is supporting us well in this area, too."
With a very healthy backlog on its books, Wade Adams Contracting is involved in projects ranging from providing shallow services and internal roads for the Reem Oasis Development to building roads and a sewage network for the huge man-made Deira Island project.
One of its larger current projects involves improving the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Once completed, the road will form the gateway to several mega projects, including International City, Arabian Ranches, Dubailand, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Global Village and Sports City.
Since it began contracting in 1976, Wade Adams has grown to become one of the Middle East's largest contractors. It specialises in large-scale infrastructure projects, such as dams, water pumping stations, roads, bridges and service installations.

Tickets already bought will stay valid for the new date.

Owners of hard ticket can return their tickets at Piletilevi selling points, except for Circle-K service stations and Viru keskus info desk.
Between April 16-25, 2021
Avery*Sunshine and her musical partner (now husband) and guitarist Dana "Big Dane" Johnson, have collectively either collaborated and/or toured with everyone from Anthony Hamilton, KEM, Will Downing, Gregory Porter, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Babyface and Roy Ayers to B.B. King, Michael Buble and Jennifer Holliday.
Avery*Sunshine's #1 hit single "Call My Name" from her critically heralded sophomore project THE SUNROOM, was awarded ASCAP's Rhythm and Soul song of the year 2016 award. There have been numerous sold out shows and career milestones that have included opening for Babyface at Madison Square Garden, performing for Smokey Robinson at his Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame tribute to being invited to perform by and for the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, twice in one year. In the same year Avery was nominated for a SoulTrain award and a BET Centric Award.
While she continues to tour the world: everywhere from many countries in Europe to Asia,Africa, the UK and Australia, she and Dana never stop creating and recording. Twenty SixtyFour,Avery*Sunshine's 3rd release, which released in the UK and Europe earlier this year, features organic soulful in-the-pocket grooves, sublime ballads, exquisite arrangements/orchestrations and exuberant life affirming tracks. The vocals shine throughout, the production is tight and the songwriting hits home.
Avery*Sunshine describes herself as a cross between Oprah Winfrey and Bette Midler. To experience her live is to understand this notion. In a genre that is inundated with singers, Avery*Sunshine has forged a way for herself by staying true to her musical vision. "My greatest wish is for our music to empower and encourage, in some way, everyone who hears it. That is why Dana and I do this", shares the radiant singer. With the upcoming release of Twenty Sixty Four, Avery*Sunshine concludes, "I am always striving to fill the space that I was created to fill. And I pray that the small space that I occupy in this world reminds everyone to SHINE no matter what."

"I suppose that is the case," said Charimaan. "A few unwanted duels might serve as well as a few unwanted cases at law. They will be faster, at any rate."
We discussed various other points of the case for some while, and gossiped for a longer while. The plaintiffs left, taking their mask. Arilash and Ressal curled up together.
Osoth puffed flames at me. "Jyothky! I have attended your summons, I have prostrated myself before the least impressive dragons on Hove, I have abandoned a beloved artifact! All these are for your sake and the sake of your law!"
"This is true, Osoth," I said. "And I am grateful."
"I demand concrete gratitude!" said Osoth.
"What might that be?"
"You now owe me a favor!" said Osoth.
"A favor of a certain limited size and shape," I admitted.
"I find that my own honor, like that of Charimaan and Evrath, is small and not widely known! Like them, I have no great love of battle, and not even an urning partner to battle at my side — nor any desire for one. I wish to gain honor in the intellectual realms! The next time you have any sort of archaeological or historical research project, of a sort that could bring honor to the participants, I demand to be a part of it. Indeed, I wish to be as chief a participant as my skills and powers allow!"
"Well, you are quite good at archaeology and history, especially if it involves dead people," I said, which was quite true. "I shall keep my ears fanned for such a project, and I shall reserve a mighty place in it for you. You are a dragon of great and unusual depths, my friend, and you deserve to become known for it.
Very sensible-sounding at the time, like most terrible ideas.Support this project! Show that you're reading it by exchanging notes with the characters, other readers, and the writer at sythyry.livejournal.com. And/or buy Bard Bloom's books on Amazon. Also: Glossary and Dramatis Personae.
