|West Cornwall Pasty Outlets Look Set to Stay Shut
Company fell into administration earlier this month
West Cornwall Pasty Co's kiosk in Fulham Broadway and store in Hammersmith Broadway look set to stay closed after the firm went into administration earlier this month.
A consortium of wealthy individuals, including former England footballer and Celebrity Masterchef finalist Danny Mills has since stepped in to rescue the company by buying 35 stores and outlets out of administration.
However, a spokesman for the private equity firm Enact, in which Danny Mills is a partner alongside a former HSBC banker, a senior partner at the accounting firm Deloitte and a retail entrepreneur who founded the Republic fashion chain, has confirmed that the local branches are not among the 35.
The firm says West Cornwall Pasty Company was hit by George Osborne's decision in 2013 to apply 20% VAT to all food sold "above the ambient air temperature". Pie sellers had previously been exempt from the tax on hot takeaway food by arguing that they sold their products warm to improve their appearance or comply with health and safety legislation.
In the resulting controversy the Government was accused of being out of touch with ordinary people, prompting David Cameron to say "I love a hot pasty".
He said he had last bought one from a West Cornwall Pasty Company outlet in Leeds train station, which it emerged had closed years earlier.
Chris Cormack, Enact's investment director, said: "The business has struggled to cope with the effects of the pasty tax and a number of underperforming outlets."
Hammersmith and Fulham's outlets, which have been longstanding features in local stations, appears to have been among those underformers and their future not looks bleak.
Ironically, the company's collapse cam just a month after its "traditional" pasty was crowned the champion at the Eden Project's annual World Pasty Championships - otherwise known as the Oggy Olympics.

'Jurassic World' Star BD Wong Says It's "Simplistic" to Think of His Character as a Villain
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to roar back into theaters next weekend, and star BD Wong has returned for his third film in the long-running dino franchise.
Wong's character, Dr. Henry Wu, who first appeared in the 1993 original Jurassic Park, is a brilliant scientist responsible for splicing the DNA from ancient dinosaur remains with that of contemporary animals to create new life. As such, he is the perfect fit for Doritos' partnership with the new film that sees Dr. Wu creating massive, one-foot tall chips hatched from dinosaur eggs for a new crossover promotion.
Heat Vision breakdown
Starting June 14, fans can tweet @Doritos with hashtags #JurassicDoritos and #entry for a chance to win one of the Jurassic-size snacks, and passionate fans can even bid on one currently on eBay by visiting JurassicDoritos.com. Proceeds from the auction will benefit the American Red Cross chapter in Hawaii, where much of the Jurassic films were shot. Doritos will also make a donation.
Wong caught up with Heat Vision to talk about the new film and what keeps bringing him back to the franchise, as well as how he views his controversial character, why dinosaurs continue to captivate audiences and what the future holds for the franchise.
This is your third Jurassic film. What keeps bringing you back to this character?
I do because of Colin Trevorrow. It would be a rather run-of-the-mill job for me if I wasn't stimulated by his creativity and his ideas. We're not curing the common cold or anything like that, but he is making an attempt to thread this character through and give him a journey that is interesting, dangerous and human in the little screen time he's given, and it's a far cry from the character who was presented in 1993.
How do you view Dr. Wu? Is he a villain?
I think it's kind of reductive or simplistic to call him a villain, but I think he definitely does make some choices that are extremely controversial. I do think he's motivated by his love for science and his own ego, which is well supported by his massive achievements. He's really kind of a genius and he really is responsible for this alleged technology creating these creatures. I think he turns a blind eye to the human suffering that comes as a result because he thinks he's looking at some bigger picture. I think that's his Achilles heel and it will remain to be seen if he can overcome that. He's painted into quite a corner in Fallen Kingdom — it will be interesting to see how people react to that.
What is it about the Jurassic franchise that has endured for such a long time?
The childhood fantasy. Dinosaurs are always going to be wonderfully fascinating to us, so it combines that childhood fascination and the threat of interacting with dinosaurs in modern day. The formula, you can't beat it. Nothing comes close to it. There's nothing in the history of the Earth that we can compare it to, that we can juxtapose in the same way. The idea that today's technology could bring about such a juxtaposition is fascinating, and terrifying, to people. We don't really see it happening, in our heart of hearts, but it feels so weird. So, we are transported and there's this kind of joy and fear thing that happens. One of the signifying elements of the brand is that moment of seeing the dinosaurs for the first time at the beginning of the movie. That moment of fascination of beauty, brilliance, life is a part of the brand. That will happen in every movie in some way or another. That is a complete 180-degree shift of what happens 45 minutes later in the movie where everyone is running and being eaten.
Are there any similarities between you and your character, Dr. Wu?
I think he's very fascinating and he has a very healthy ego. He believes in his own talent and I think he has been encouraged by the people who appreciate what he does. I think he doesn't take no for an answer. I think he thinks, in a certain way, there's a nobility in what he's doing to mankind. I, as an actor, think you can be a messenger to interesting ideas or help shift people's opinions about things. I don't think of myself on the same level that he does, but I do feel there is something potentially helpful about what a storyteller can do.
How did this partnership with Doritos come about?
This is part of the connection between Doritos and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. This is a real concrete promotion they put a lot into to cross-promote with the movie and create an opportunity to do some charity work to benefit the American Red Cross. What's funny is that the character I play, his whole reason for living is to cross-breed things, so the symbolic cross-breeding of Jurassic World and Doritos, using my character, makes sense.

According to Wikipedia an alternate ending is a term used (usually in movies) to describe the ending of a story that was planned or debated but ultimately unused in favour of the actual ending. Generally, alternate endings are considered to have no bearing on the canonical narrative.
The only thing I consider an alternate ending to be is an argument starter. A twisted argument starter! The first time I realised this was when my girlfriend and myself were discussing Final Destination 2, when I wondered what had happened to the baby from the end of the first film. My inquisitive mind was greeted by my girlfriend's puzzled and questions like "what baby?" and "have you actually watched the whole film?!". This was where my metaphorical penny dropped and I realised that I had been a bit of a film geek and watched the alternate ending on the DVD which for some reason had embedded itself into my memory as the official ending. Here are a few of the most pointless of the bunch:
The Butterfly Effect
In the released version, the story ends with Evan flashing back and doing the noble deed of not falling in love with Kayleigh, because he knows he will only bring her disaster in the future. The directors cut ending however is very different in which we see Evan watch some home movies he found and goes back to where it all began, in his mothers womb, where he then decides to strangle himself with his own umbilical cord and dies. Stillborn. It is believed that this ending was too sinister for the theatrical release. No kidding!
Who would've thought you could make a 3 and a half hour film about a ship sinking?! Turns out, it was an easy task for James Cameron. He still made more than one ending for Titanic though. The released ending shows aged Rose quietly dropping the Heart of the Ocean blue diamond necklace over the railing of the ship and into the waiting sea below. Cameron however thought that the 3 and a half hour long movie could use more talking as an ending was filmed with Rose explaining her decision to Brock Lovett before throwing the Heart of the Ocean back to the sea. Brock and Lizzy then get together as Rose dies. I think Cameron made a wise decision in leaving this scene on the cutting room floor, I don't think audiences would've wanted to listen to another monologue about Jack Dawson.
I Am Legend
Possibly one of the most underrated films in my opinion. The ending sees our hero, Robert Neville killing himself in order to save some random woman and her kid who just sponge his bacon and eggs off of him and use him for a place to stay. The alternate ending however sees Neville give the 'vampire woman' back to the other vampires so that they wont essentially kill him…yet. I don't think this works as well because it doesn't give him the legend status that he obviously ends up having due to his story being told. I don't think you can be a legend until you die. Look at Jesus.
So here's my conclusion and it's more of a message to any movie directors/prodcuers out there than anything… Don't make alternate endings anymore. They're pointless. Nobody really cares. Stick some hilarious outtakes on the DVD instead.

COVID-19 Update #7 – City of Orlando Supports Orange County to Enact Stay at Home Order
March 24, 2020 – Orlando, FL – Today, Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer joined Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings to support the enactment of an emergency Stay at Home order requiring residents to stay in their homes and the closure of non-essential businesses to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
"The virus does not spread alone, we spread the virus," said Mayor Dyer in a news conference today announcing the order. "These decisions are not made lightly and we know they will have continued economic and emotional impacts on our community, but we must continue to act now to save lives."
The county mandate will go into effect March 26, at 11 p.m. and continue for two weeks through Thursday, April 9, 2020 at 11 p.m. The order prohibits things like visiting other people's homes (except to provide care or supplies), gatherings of more than 10 people and closes all non-essential establishments, including most retail, recreation and entertainment businesses.
Under the county-wide emergency order, essential services will continue to be provided and residents will be allowed to conduct essential activities like going to the grocery store, receiving medical care, or taking their pet for a walk.
The collaborative announcement between the regional leaders further emphasizes the need to take serious actions and measures to suppress the spread of COVID-19 within the community.
"It is our goal that by aggressive action we will help minimize how many people are impacted by this virus and then how quickly residents and businesses can recover financially, said Mayor Dyer. "This is a challenge unlike any we've seen before, but I know Orlando is up to it."
The City of Orlando continues to monitor this ever-evolving situation and will continue to update the City's website dedicated to the city's response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) at orlando.gov/covid19 with the latest information.

Peppermint & Bergamot Beeswax Candle
Peppermint & Bergamot Beeswax Candle, made with 100% Beeswax and scented with pure essential oils, this warming candle will burn for approximately 20 hours and fill the room with a zesty fresh scent. Beeswax is carries its own natural scent of honey and flower nectar, and we have carefully selected essential oils to complement this. This candle is perfect for refreshing the scent of a room, especially the kitchen after cooking.
We wick our candles with a 100% cotton wick, and use no artificial colours, the yellow wax is the natural colour of the beeswax.
Beeswax is the healthy wax to burn, it burns cleaner and longer than paraffin and soy waxes and does not emit any toxins or carcinogens into your home. As beeswax burns it emits negative ions, which help to purify and clean the air within your home.
Beeswax is from a natural and renewable source with a low carbon footprint, making it the ideal wax to use for an eco friendly luxury candle.
Make the most of your Beeswax candle
– Keep your wick trimmed to 5mm at every burn to make sure the flame doesn't burn too large.
– Allow the wax to melt across the tin at the first burn to prevent 'tunneling'. This will ensure all the wax is used-
– Always burn on a heatproof surface or mat, candles get hot!

One of those business and strategy aspects that many pursuing apps ignore is to identify and use competitor apps. Understanding what competitors do well and where they've come up short will provide guidance on what features to develop and how to differentiate an app. Similarly, learning from top apps in app stores or even real-world alternatives, can reveal opportunities for innovation.
Wanting a million dollars shouldn't be the sole motivation for building an app. At the same time, app stores are likely one of the best places to pursue a new venture right now. Ultimately though, it is still a new venture and any new venture comes with a certain amount of risk. Outlining clear short- and long-term goals, that are aspirational yet attainable, will provide a much better foundation for success. It's not necessary to create a Gantt chart, but having a project plan for an app is critical. A project plan will demand accountability and set expectations, especially if working in a team.
It should also help with one of the biggest problems in software development: actually shipping the app to the app stores.

Many begin marketing their apps after they are in app stores. Doing so will result in not taking advantage of the initial bump provided by the app store new release lists. Getting marketing moving earlier will allow interested media outlets to have reviews ready when the app hits the stores, thus providing a better opportunity for the app to rank in its category. The app name, app icon, app description, and even the app interface are often developed independently of one another. Andrew : We talked before this interview, and you told me how much revenue your app brought in.

Ken : Sure. Ken : I have a development partner that I partnered on that application with. Andrew : Do we need to go to meet-ups and find the right partner and basically put together a whole startup in order to create app? But they started basically with that product on the side, and over time as it showed it was worthwhile, they continued to invest into it. If you want to work with people locally [inaudible ] lots of different people online. So these are contractors.
But to answer your question directly, no. One of those is Balsamiq. Andrew : Tell you what. I want to find several different places, and I want to ask you how to find the right place. Where do we start?
So where do we start? Ken : The first place that we want to start is in the App Store. So once we have an idea, what we want to do is take that idea, we want to research that idea, and we should go into the App Store because it has all that information. Apps are assigned to categories. You can search by keywords. We initially did some research on audio books.
How Non-Developers Can Get Apps Made And Into The App Store
There were a lot of options, but nothing that was simple, nothing that was visually engaging. So there are sort of two extremes on that. Is it oversaturated or is there an opportunity there? One of the things that I keep seeing in there is tons of new apps. So how do I do that? How do I stand out with hundreds of thousands of apps in the store? But how do you create something unique? One of the ways that you do that is by not trying to compete on the features that everyone else is competing on.
One of the greatest examples of this I researched for my book was something really basic. It was a lighter application for Smule. Smule is a really popular developer. But one of their first ones was a lighter app, and it was going to be the 19th lighter application that launched into the App Store.
Bestselling Series
And you think, why in the world are you doing a lighter application? Specifically, what they did was actually allowed other lighters to be ignited through the application by blowing into the iPhone. So you could ignite a flame somewhere else in the world and then show that on a globe. It caught on really fast, and not only did it become successful, it became the number one paid application basically in app stores around the world.
Shop by category
So the key thing here, aside from the example, is we need to think about not just our customers but our non-customers. And is there anything that we can learn from there? Or maybe even a flashlight.
So we want to look at not just the direct competitors but learn from the things that are complementary or alternatives to our app. Andrew : Okay. Fair enough. How do I make sure?
[PDF] App Savvy - Turning Ideas into iPad and iPhone Apps Customers Really Want - Semantic Scholar
How do I validate it? Ken : On this point the customer is the key, right? In some ways you might think about those principles being brought to the app space, specifically mobile apps. What does that mean? So people who might have actually downloaded other apps. You could do research on Twitter. And by doing that, you can now also get really good people that are the right people to test it because you want those early adopters testing it. And now we can talk to [inaudible ] before the app gets out there.
Andrew : You actually gave me screenshots of what you did to test out your idea. I see the Dribble screenshot for Rise Alarm app. Is there a place where we can put it up?
Andrew : Ken Yarmosh. Let me spell it, make sure the transcribers have it too. If not, people can go over to your site and pick it up. I know I want to test out a landing page and maybe I could cobble something together there, but I want to take this idea and just somehow show it to people. How can I do it? So there are some great tools out there. Andrew : Before we say that, the screenshot that you sent me, a designer created that, right?

- Designed and assembled in the USA
- Able to remove up to 99% of arsenic, chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, lead, bacteria, virus and other 1000+ different types of contaminants.
- Can treat both tap water and well water
- Longer lifespan of filters
- Safe materials used – lead-free faucet, FDA Certified JG Food grade tubing
- Comes with 2-year manufacturer warranty
If you are looking for a very popular and not expensive reverse osmosis system, you can consider the APEC Top Tier 5-Stage Ultra Safe Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water Filter System. It gets a high rating and many users give it a positive review. As a basic RO system, it abandons any bells and whistles, making it more cost-effective.
As a 5-stage water filter, it is able to produce 1 gallon of pure water while producing another about 3 gallons of waste water at the same time. The ratio of the filtered water to waste water is average, compared to other mainstream RO system on the market. And this system can offer you up to 50 gallons of pure water per day.
This product offer you everything, so you can install it and set it up without any other tool that you need to buy separately. If you have some basic DIY skills, you can install it within 1 hour. A pressurized storage tank and a water faucet are also included.
This system has a 1 filter per housing system, which means 1 filter has 1 housing. If you need to replace a filter, you need to remove the housing filter and at last reattach the housing. Because water is in the housing, you should be careful if you are just replacing the filter.
The stage 1 to 3 filters are common filters which should be replaced every 6 months. You can use a "C" spanner wrench to loosen the filter first, and then unscrew it by hand. Remove the old one and replace it with the new one. And screw it by hand, and use the "C" spanner to tighten it. That is the whole process of replacing a filter. In order to twist it off much easier next time, it is highly recommended to grease the housing threads. Of course, you don't need to buy the tools, and they include in this package.
The filters of stage 4 and stage 5 should be replaced every 2 or 3 years. This depends on many factors, such as the quality of your feed water, the quantity of water used. And because it is a basic RO system, there is no any indicator to tell you when to change them. Therefore, a simple TDS test meter can do the job. You need to buy it separately and it will cost you much. You can use it to test your water. Once you found there is an obvious drop on the water quality, it is time to change a new one.
Water Efficiency
For all reverse osmosis systems, in order to flush the RO membrane, some incoming water is used and this can create back pressure. In most situations, waste water is sent down the drain. And if you think it wastes a lot of water, you can use the waste water for some non-drinking use, like washing, watering gardens, etc. Of course, some additional tubing is required to reach the waste water storage container.
How much waste water a RO system produces depends on the water pressure of the feed water. Generally, this system will produce up to 3 gallons of waste water by offering 1 gallons of pure water. The level is average in contrast to other models. Not too bad, not too good. For a system without a permeate pump, this level is acceptable. Of course, if you care about how much water it wastes, you can buy a permeate pump to raise the water pressure. Or you can buy other RO systems that have a permeate pump.
Ease of Installation
This APEC ROES–50 features a compact design, so you can install it in a very small under the sink space. Of course, before buying it, you need to know if it is suitable for your under counter space. The installation is pretty easy and anyone with basic DIY skills can install it within 1 hour. The tools needed for installation are very common and can be found in most households. Plus, the color-coded tubes can ease the installation.
A RO system works good, if the water pressure is enough. The recommended incoming water pressure should be between 40 and 85 psi. If the pressure is too low, a lot of waste water will be produced. And a permeate pump is a good way to raise the water pressure. If the water pressure is too high, it can shorten the lifespan of the filters. And a relief valve is a must-have item.
If you are the first time to install a RO system, you need to read its detailed user manual. Although it is very detailed, you also can watch the following the videos to avoid some mistakes and fasten the installation process.
- Video 1 – Unpacking
- Video 2 – Installing filters
- Video 3 – Connecting the feed water and drain saddle adaptor
- Video 4 – Installing the Water faucet
- Video 5 – The final start up
This system doesn't come with an indicator, so the best way is to have a TDS water meter. With this tool, you can monitor the water quality on a regular basis. Once you find any dropdown on the water quality, it's a sign that you need to change its filters.
Pros & Cons
- Very affordable
- Cheap replacement filters
- Removes up to 99% of up to 1000+ contaminants
- Easy installation
- A 2 to 3-year lifespan of the RO membrane
- Includes a lead-free faucet and a 4-gallon pre-pressurized water storage tank
- Designed and manufactured in the USA
- 2-year extended manufacturer's warranty
- Quick response U.S. based technical support
- Water output per day: only 50 gallons
- The ratio of waste water to filtered water: 3:1
- Not modular model design – a little difficult to replace the filters
- Not include a remineralization filter
- Not include a UV light filter
- Question: What is the dimension of the shipping package?
- Answer: it is about 18"x18". The unit itself seems a bit bigger, but it works great.t
- Question: How long can the filters last?
- Answer: This depends on many factors. The pre-filters (stage 1, 2, 3) can last about 6 months and the stage 4, 5 filters can last 2 to 3 years. If the quality of the feed water is poor, the pre-filters last shorter.
- Question: Does it remove nitrates?
- Answer: Yes, it does.
- Question: How many microns is the RO membrane rated at?
- Answer: 0.0001 micron
As one of the most-selling reverse osmosis water filters in the USA, its affordability, ease of installation and abilities to remove contaminants make it a good choice, when it comes to choosing a RO system. Although it is a system with a modular filters design, its price matters. And it is not a high-end RO system, but it performs better than some other high-end models. If you are limited on the budget, this one is really a wise choice.

It's a question the most successful companies have to answer periodically, particularly if the nature of their business means that client relationships have to be maintained over an extended period.
Simply because companies often have to concentrate on developing business from existing clients, and when they are doing that, they may be missing out on new possibilities elsewhere. And of course, the more successful you are in that, the more likely you'll ignore the chance to open new accounts.
But there are many reasons why outsourcing sales development could be of real benefit.
If you are asking any of these questions, it may well be time to initiate a discussion with us.
- Is the sales team capable of delivering the new business relationships and contacts that we need?
- If our team is more effective with current clients, how can we establish new commercial relationships?
- Does our existing team have the time and expertise to enter new markets?
- Are we missing out because we don't have strategic, high-level relationships with new or existing clients?
- Can we launch new products or services successfully?
- Does our team need more sales leads for our IT and consulting products?
At INCo, we have a huge amount of experience of sales and sales management in the world of IT and consulting services, covering new business sales, channel sales, lead generation, contract renewal, new service/solution launches, market entry and other common new business sales problems.

Government to accelerate ban on new petrol and diesel cars
Commenting on Boris Johnson's plans to consult on bringing forward a ban on sales of new petrol and diesel vehicles to 2035 or earlier, Friends of the Earth's head of policy Mike Childs said:
"The government is right to accelerate the phase-out of petrol and diesel cars to curb air pollution and address the climate emergency, but the ban should start in 2030 – not 2035.
"A new 2035 target will still leave the UK in the slow-lane of the electric car revolution and meantime allow more greenhouse gases to spew into the atmosphere.
"If the UK government wants to show real leadership ahead of this year's climate summit it must also urgently reverse its plans for more climate-wrecking roads and runways – and pull the plug on its support for new gas, coal and oil developments."

Consultation on the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan is under way. However, even before the plan went public, opposition had already started to be voiced by local residents in the Lincoln fringe, and beyond.
I should perhaps explain that, as a West Lindsey district councillor, the council is the planning authority for our local area; and that I sit on the Planning Committee. The committee determines only a small number of the total applications made to the authority. Most applications are small in nature, or not controversial, and are determined under powers delegated to the council's officers.
With the Government's implementation of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) which requires planning applications to be approved where, on balance, three key sustainability tests are met, local residents have been particularly concerned at the number of applications that developers have been submitting to planning authorities across the county for new homes. A gap between existing policies and the adoption of new policies in the near future has left developers with the opportunity to reduce the liability they could incur in the future known as the Community Infrastructure Levy – a contribution they make to assist in improving local infrastructure and sustainability.
A number of years before I was elected to the council a decision was made that it would save money and be efficient to deliver a single plan for local development by working in partnership. The Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership is underpinned by statute and the three district authorities – West Lindsey, North Kesteven and Lincoln City councils, with Lincolnshire County Council are working together to shape our communities in a positive way, for the two decades from 2016 – 2036.
Opposition to this local plan can be understood, but calls to break-up this partnership are coming too late in the day. In 2016 the Local Plan is expected to be an adopted document, by which time decision makers, like myself, who are required to judge the merits or otherwise of proposed development, will use it as our main tool to get the results local people want. This is timely because the saved policies which are still active within the West Lindsey Local Plan 2006 will expire. If we don't act now planning applications will only be able to be determined by reference to the NPPF. Local decisions will only be taken in accordance with national policy. I am sure I am not alone in finding that idea unacceptable.
There is much that marks Lincolnshire out as special. In West Lindsey the Wolds, the cliff top and our gently undulating countryside beneath the big skies are characteristics, worthy of protection, from unsuitable development. But those campaigning to break-up the Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership are only working against the interests of local people. They propose a West Lindsey Local Plan, developed locally. They forget that this would require the recruitment of specialist planning officers, the collation of evidence and the drafting of such a plan, long before it would reach the stage the Central Lincolnshire plan is at now; that of public consultation. It could set progress back on securing and protecting our towns, villages and countryside by at least twelve months or even two years. In which time the saved policies would be defunct. The shield that has allowed the West Lindsey District Council Planning Committee to defend villages like Bardney, Saxilby, Nettleham, Welton and many others from unsuitable housing development would be gone. The reasons for refusing the wind farm scheme at Hemswell would not have been able to be made. In short the decisions that local residents sought – and were able to obtain – would be unimaginable.
Those in opposition to the Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership forget that whilst its creation required the accord of the local councils, it is established under secondary legislation. There is no evidence to date – and I have enquired of the relevant minister – that the government would be prepared to repeal the statute.
Then there is the matter of cost. Local Government is doing more than any other organ of the state to help return the public finances to good order, healing the seeping wound of the deficit caused by Labour's Great Recession and reckless spending. Not all the money raised by local councils comes from Council Taxpayers. The three main sources of income are: money in the form of central government grants, council tax and receipts for services. At West Lindsey we get about £200 from the average Band D Council Taxpayer (who pays around £1,650 per annum). The cost of an individual West Lindsey Local Plan has been estimated at over a quarter of a million pounds at the end of last year. But time is not now on our side to change course, and the cost could well exceed a third of a million a year. To put those figures in perspective, that would be asking the authority to raise the Council Tax by between 4%-6%. This would require a referendum to be held to secure for this additional tax to be collected. Adding additional cost and delay to securing a Local Plan. There can be no certainty that the majority of residents would back such an increase. In turn that could cause both a black hole in the council's finances and a whirlwind which would damage the delivery of a local plan.
I am calling on the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan Partnership to look again at the apportionment of the Housing Supply figure. We are required to have in hand a five-year supply of land coming on stream to develop housing. Before the Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership the West Lindsey district had a seven year supply. Today the figure is less than five years, because the surpluses in West Lindsey and North Kesteven have been obliterated by a deficit in the City of Lincoln. We need to find a way to restore the district level figures and correct this unfairness. I have spoken to the Leader of West Lindsey District Council, Cllr. Jeff Summers, who is a member of the Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership and I am confident that work will be undertaken to resolve this anomaly. This is surely a more surgical approach than the blunt, slash and burn, technique of others? And it is far more likely to deliver the result people want.
I believe that what we need is policies that protect those aspects of our communities that we cherish, encourage appropriate development in the right places – to build strong, sustainable, communities – we need to secure our environment so that our children and their children will live in the world we would wish to bequeath to them.
The challenge is how we take the necessary steps to deliver this. Those opposing the Central Lincolnshire Local Planning Partnership should instead engage rather than oppose. Take part in the consultation. Give their views. Tell us what they like, what they hate, what is wrong and what should be done as an alternative. It is our local plan. A plan that by working together we can and we will achieve so much, more than by working alone.
I know that my words will not be welcomed by some of those campaigning for the risky proposition of a district level local plan. Hindsight provides an excellent prism for us to consider the actions of the past. Perhaps if we knew now what we did not know then we might find ourselves on a very different course. We are where we are. I will not flinch in the face of doing my upmost best to secure, preserve and enhance our local communities for the future. But be in no doubt; the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan is the only viable option for enhancing, preserving and securing our communities; by putting in place the right policies before time runs out.

The incoming European Commission faces a dilemma on the transatlantic trade relationship, because of the unpredictable policies of the Trump administration. The EU must rally its citizens; the greater the divides between member states and EU institutions, the lesser the chances are of forging effective policies toward the United States and China.
President Trump's radical trade policy continues, as do trade disputes with China. The president promised to sign far better trade deals, ensure fair treatment of American firms and reduce the United States' trade deficit. None of these objectives have been met.

EVERETT — The woman told detectives she was getting started in the "paper business."
By paper business, police allege she really meant identity theft, forgery and fraud.
She appeared to be off to a prolific start, according to court records.
Police found a cardboard box stuffed with stolen documents next to the bed in her motel room. There also was a printer.
A detective for the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office found identification belonging to 22 people. The box contained passports, driver licenses, social security cards, medical ID cards and credit and debit cards.
The deputy also found four blank prescription slips and 57 prescriptions for controlled substances, including oxycodone and methadone.
"She had blank prescription slips and prescription script information in order to procure controlled substances," the deputy wrote in an affidavit to establish probable cause for the woman's arrest.
Some of the paperwork came from six people who had reported missing documents after thefts, burglaries and car prowls in Everett and elsewhere in Snohomish County.
The woman, 31, was described as a transient in court papers. She was arrested for investigation of identity theft, possessing stolen property, prescription fraud and drug possession.
Turns out, the woman could have been behind bars.
On Feb. 28 she was sentenced to 10 months in jail for drug possession.
Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Eric Lucas agreed to let her serve the time on work release. She was ordered to show up for work release on March 4 but was a no show. A warrant was issued for her arrest on March 15 and it didn't catch up with her until early this week.
The woman earlier had been thrown out of the county's drug court program for failing to comply with requirements in a 2004 case stemming from an auto theft charge.
She also was convicted in 2008 with possession with intent to deliver meth and sentenced to three years in prison.

With the deluge of deals and flash sales populating email inboxes and online boutiques, avoiding the urge to spend may require greater restraint than just steering clear of the mall.
This is especially problematic for consumers who have difficulty curbing the volume and frequency of their spending. Penny Lawson, clinical manager of outpatient services and behavioural addictions with Bellwood Health Services in Toronto, said the facility has treated individuals with shopping addiction.
"Compulsive shoppers often feel that they are saving a lot of money buying into these deals ... but that's actually more of an illusion," said Sunghwan Yi, associate professor in the department of marketing and consumer studies at the University of Guelph. "These online or email-based promotions tend to really overwhelm them.
"People can promise themselves not to go to shopping malls. But even if you don't go ... you're receiving these emails constantly or you're encountering these promotions online — on Facebook, for example. This can be really, really difficult for people to curb their temptation to buy."
A Statistics Canada report released last October found that the value of online orders placed by Canadians reached $18.9 billion in 2012 — a 24 per cent increase from 2010. Among online shoppers, 42 per cent purchased clothing, jewelry or accessories. U.S.-based Forrester Research expects online retail sales in Canada to reach $34 billion in 2018 — representing 10 per cent of all total retail transactions in the country.
Take our poll
Jeff Schwartz, executive director of Consolidated Credit Counseling Services of Canada, said online purchases also offer the ability for one-click shopping where purchasing information can be stored on a secure site.
"Literally, all you have to do is find the item, one click and you've purchased it," he said. "In addition to that, they're also suggesting items other people have bought because you've bought this particular item. They're trying to expand your shopping cart as well. It's pushing people potentially to spend more than they otherwise would have which really throws the budget into a tailspin pretty quickly."
Lawson noted that there are "some pretty clear signs" that purchasing habits have become compulsive. Among them: spending money due to "uncomfortable emotional states" and wanting to change how they feel.
"Another one is feeling guilty and ashamed afterwards, buying things you don't need and a real biggie is lying to others about the money you spend," Lawson said. Compulsive shoppers may also place an "intense and excessive focus on money" and may be juggling accounts to accommodate their spending, she added.
Luisa Cameli, director of the Emotional Health CBT Clinic in Montreal — which is affiliated with the McGill University Health Centre — said individuals may also feel a loss of control over their spending and find difficulties maintaining their goal of reducing or stopping their shopping habits.
Both Cameli and Lawson noted that compulsive shoppers may purchase items that they store in their homes with the tags still on them that may never even be worn or used.
For those worried about the compulsive shopping habits of loved ones, Lawson said it can be as simple as expressing concerns about their spending and encouragement to seek help.
"One of the other things that families can do that is really helpful is if they budget together. In other words, talk together about how money is going to be spent in the household. Keep a log of expenses and receipts." Compulsive shoppers who need help can also seek financial counselling.
While Lawson encouraged family members to shop together, she said it's also important to take part in other forms of activities.
Cameli said the onus falls on compulsive shoppers to see that there is a problem and want to work on it.
"If they don't, then it's extremely difficult to change."
She sees the first step as identifying situations which carry risks — be it shopping online, in stores or for sales — and determining which thoughts may be triggers, such as a desire to reward themselves after working hard or spoiling themselves in the short term and saving later.
Cameli said compulsive shoppers can gradually ease their way into better habits with concrete strategies. That could involve confiding in a loved one who can accompany them while shopping, or talking on the phone if they're unable to be there in person. She also recommends limiting the amount of time for shopping excursions.
"Going with cash is probably a good strategy, deciding how much it is that you want to spend — like if you need a specific item — and then going with that amount of cash and no credit card," said Cameli.
Schwartz suggests individuals unsubscribe from emailed daily newsletters and deal promotions. There are also software options available that limit the amount of time users can spend on any one given site, he noted.
Schwartz also recommends following a 30-minute rule when it comes to online shopping, allowing time to reflect on a potential purchase before checkout.
"If you kind of break that mindset (and ask): 'Is this something that I really need?' It may cause you to change your mind when you come back after that 30 minutes."

Vive Mexico has been organizing this workcamp regularly in Rincon de Guayabitos, Nayarit since 2014. The main achievement of the project is to protect the sea turtles with the help of volunteers who will be cooperating with a team of biologists. Up to now, the project has been quite successful and has reached extraordinary results. Participating in sea turtle conservation is a great opportunity to discover the rather charming life of sea turtles.
Experience the paradise and protect the turtles at the beach!
See the VIDEO! https://goo.gl/LsaZnX
The volunteers will be working at night from 20:00 to 08:00, four days per week with an average of thirty hours. Depending on the number of turtles that come ashore, two teams might be formed among the volunteers. In this way, each group will be taking turns, working one night and taking the next night off for recovery. In addition, the weekends are also spared for resting. Some of the activities to be performed are:
1. Finding adult turtles and collect their eggs.
2. Moving the eggs to a protected place called Vivero.
3. Releasing newborn baby turtles into the sea.
4. Patrolling the beaches at night.
5. Making some reconstruction in the most important turtle camps of the region.
If you love nature, want to have a great time by the beautiful beaches, at the same time enjoying all the amenities of a hotel and witnessing the magical spectacle of natural miracles that has been reoccurring since millions of years... then this project is for you!
By participating in this project, you will acquire the global skills of Adaptability, Global Awareness, Strategic Thinking and Collaborative Planning. Upon completing the project volunteers will receive an official letter certifying the aforementioned skills.
Volunteers will be hosted in a hotel in a shared room with all facilities at their disposal namely, private bathroom, hot water, swimming pool, WIFI, and air conditioning.
Rincon de Guayabitos, also known as Guayabitos, is a beach town located in the astonishing Sierra Madre Occidental, in the state of Nayarit and bathed by the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It is a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the cities of Tepic, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta.
CLOSEST BUS STATION: La Peñita de Jaltemba, Nayarit.
CLOSEST INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: Puerto Vallarta International Airport.
OTHER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS: Mexico City International Airport, Guadalajara International Airport
This camp is open for everyone who are sensible and open minded. It is crucial for the participants to respect, open to learn and appreciate the conditions of rural lifestyle of indigenous communities, as well as their culture and wisdom.
CAMP LANGUAGE: English (Spanish is appreciated but not mandatory!)
VEGETERIAN FOOD AVAILABLE: Yes
OPEN FOR FAMILIES: Yes
OPEN FOR DISABLED VOLUNTEERS: No
Riviera Nayarit is emerging as one of the most attractive and magic destinations of Mexico. The area extends approximately 300 kilometers along the coast, integrated by mountainous jungle and facing coastal islands. For those seeking a more rural and rustic experience with magic beach towns in Mexico, the Riviera has a massive open space for everyone along the Nayarit coast, also, for those who want to relax there are also quiet beaches and there are other beaches with heavy waves for surfers.

Since neither VIVE MEXICO nor its local camp partner do not receive financial support for the organization of this camp from municipality or any other private resource, in order to realize it we have to charge a participation fee of 310 Euros. The fee includes food, hosting, necessary materials and local transportation for work activities. It should be paid in cash in Mexican pesos on the first day of the project. The volunteers will be informed about the fee in pesos one week before the start of the project.
SPECIAL NOTES: For volunteers who are interested in learning Spanish, a Spanish course will be organized in the city of Morelia, Michoacán before the start of each project. Total Cost: 120 Euros. It includes accommodation for 7 days at a Youth Hostel in Morelia city, Spanish classes with an experienced teacher for 15 hours, required materials to study and activities to practice Spanish. Only meals are not included. Please contact us at least two weeks before the start of the course for registration.

Have you used Project Gutenberg before? They take out of copyright literature, package it up into ebooks that you can read on your phone, tablet, computer or Kindle, and distribute them for free. It's brilliant. If you haven't used Project Gutenberg, you're missing out, they have more than 58,000 free classic books that you can download at no cost.
But one of the problems with Gutenberg is that while the content may be unrivalled — written by authors like Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde — the page formatting of the ebooks can be pretty hit and miss. There's nothing worse than getting two chapters into a novel to find that the rest of the book is barely legible, or the font size has shrunk to the height of a single pixel.

Life insurance companies are more willing to offer lower premium life insurance policies to young, healthy people who will likely not need the death benefit payout of their policy for a while. (Keep in mind that exceptions for pre-existing medical conditions or certain careers exist – think "skydiving instructor". But in many cases, the odds are more in your favor for lower premiums than you might guess.)
At this point you might be thinking, "Well, I am young and healthy, so why do I need to add another expense into my budget for something I might not need for a long time?"
Unlike a financial goal of saving up for a downpayment on your first house, waiting for "the right moment" to get life insurance – perhaps when you feel like you're prepared enough – is less beneficial. A huge part of that is due to getting older. As your body ages, things can start to go wrong – unexpectedly and occasionally chronically. Ask any 35-year-old who just threw out their back for the first time and is now Googling every posture-perfecting stretch and cushy mattress to prevent it from happening again.
With age-related health issues in mind, remember that the premium you pay at 22 may be very different than the premium you'll pay at 32. Most people hit several physical peaks in that 10 year window:¹
- 25 – Peak muscle strength
- 28 – Peak ability to run a marathon
- 30 – Peak bone mass production
If you experience certain types of illness or injury prior to getting life insurance, it often goes in the books as a pre-existing condition, which will cause a premium to go up. Remember: the less likely a person is going to need their life insurance payout, the lower the premium will likely be. Possible scenarios like the recurrence of cancer or a sudden
A person's age, unique medical history, and financial goals will all factor into the process of finding the right coverage and determining the rate. So taking advantage of your youth and good health now without bringing an age-borne illness or injury to the table could be beneficial for your journey to financial independence.

Apollo 18 Trailer
Posted on February 20, 2011 by Zach
Considering the movie is out in two months, it's about time we got a trailer for the newest entry in the "found footage" genre, Apollo 18. After watching the trailer, I'm actually kind of impressed; I really like that it's all 60's style footage and it looks like it will definitely have some creepy moments. The movie follows a secret 18th mission to the moon where the astronauts find more than they bargained for including corpses, bizarre alien infections and space madness. Check out the trailer below and the movie is out this April.

TCL Releases Revolutionary Three-way Foldable Phone Prototype
If you thought that Samsung and Huawei were making waves with their foldable phones, then you'll be amazed at what TCL is doing with their foldable concept.
Chinese smartphone manufacturer TCL has made a foldable phone that folds not just once, but twice. This is completely new and shows how companies are going to begin competing to make the most unique foldable phones. This new Wild West of the smartphone market is going to be an exciting – although expensive – time for anyone interested in tech.
New frontier for smartphones
At the current time, anyone who makes something that no one has ever seen before will gain an advantage in the field of foldable phones. It's like when the first iPhone came out: suddenly, everyone realized that there was a totally different way to design a smartphone.
Similarly, now everyone is seeing that foldable phones are the logical way to break the current deadlock that flagship phones have sunk into. The iPhone 11 looked pretty much the same as the iPhone XS; the Galaxy Note 10 looked the same as the Galaxy Note 9; and so on. There just isn't enough that you can do to a smartphone now and stay original.
Enter: Foldable phones. Now there is a way for manufacturers to design completely new and original concepts to stand out from the crowd. At least, there is for now. Obviously, the technology is still very expensive, which means that there is also room for mid-range devices to come out later on when the tech is more developed and can be implemented at a cheaper cost.
TCL takes the leap
There was a time when people associated Chinese manufacturing with low-quality goods that could be produced for cheap and shipped around the world to satisfy the quick spending of people in the West and elsewhere. That time is over. Chinese manufacturing is now so advanced that people are starting to shake off the 'cheap goods' stereotype – and nowhere is this more true than in the smartphone sector.
TCL – a relatively unknown smartphone manufacturer – is making its move onto the global market by wowing everyone with their new foldable phone prototype. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X, which both fold in half, the TCL foldable phone has two folds, so that you can even stand it up like a table. This is a very unique feature that we've never seen before on a foldable phone. It'll surely get TCL some brownie points from the tech community, and no doubt draw attention to their other products.
This is likely what the company is trying to do with their foldable phone – it's prime time for companies to show off what they can do with this new technology, and TCL isn't about to get left behind.
TCL foldable phone concept
TCL's foldable phone takes the whole concept in a new direction. The dual-hinge design allows for the phone to be held like a scribe, or folded into a table – it's pretty damn cool and it's totally unlike anything we've ever seen before – although some 3D artists had rendered concept art of such a design when speculating what the Galaxy Fold 2 might look like.
The phone unfolds fully into a 10-inch screen, which is just nuts. For perspective, that's a fully two inches on top of what Huawei is offering with the massive Mate X. That's not to say that you'll be seeing this thing any time soon – there isn't a production timeline on this concept yet and no one knows when it might be released, but it'll be 2020 at the earliest.
There isn't even a working screen on the device yet, although, there is no reason that TCL can't just use the same technology that Samsung and Huawei are using for their screens, but double up on it. Theoretically speaking, you could make as many folds as you want in a smartphone – and some companies probably will, just to stand out in the media for a bit, even if the phone becomes nothing more than a fun concept piece.
What do we know so far?
While this TCL phone is pretty far off being a real thing for the time being, we do know a few of the juicy details already. TCL is actually planning on making this thing a reality in the coming year, so they already have some of the specs laid out.
The phone will feature four cameras on the rear, plus a front facing camera. Interestingly, the Huawei Mate X abandoned the front facing camera, and instead turned the rear panel screen into a viewfinder, instead. It appears that TCL won't take this path, meaning that the phone will most likely have a notch on the screen. With 10-inches of display to work with, we're sure that this won't be much of an issue.
We also know that the phone won't have a headphone jack, which will further steep up the price and require you to have wireless headphones. This doesn't come as much of a surprise, considering this certainly is not a budget device. To get this thing, you'll need a lot of disposable cash.
To give you an idea of how much this thing is going to cost, we can compare it to the current foldable phones on the market. The Galaxy Fold from Samsung costs just shy of $2,000, while the Huawei Mate X is a similar price. To keep their foldable phone within the realm of humanly possible pricing, TCL will have to keep it under the $2000 mark, and obviously this is already an insane amount of money to be paying for a phone, by anyone's standards.
The wrap-up
TCL's foray into the world of foldable phones starts out with a bang. They seem to be completely ignoring the first step and instead opting for something massive and epic. This is fair game, but whether they can make a sturdy job of it while also keeping it even remotely affordable remains to be seen. Fair play to them for trying, though.Advertisement

Mark Steyvers spoke at UCSD today. I was fortunate enough to have lunch with him and pick his brain about rank ordering using aggregated orderings from individuals. (My goal is to make that my next project, once Lepidoptera is stable.) Mark argued against conceptualizing the problem using voting paradigms because of Arrow's Theorem and other problems. A very interesting read is his paper The Wisdom of Crowds in the Recollection of Order Information (PDF). Check out the MADLab's online sorting experiment.
I'll be tweaking a couple things with the math behind the scenes on Lepidoptera. The changes are very minor, but just a couple changes I'd like to see based on my use of the site. One issue was that the strengths of old ratings were decaying too quickly. I've found a good setting for it now.
Yes, I did break down and find a nice san-serif font and color gradient background. I will grudgingly admit the site looks nicer.

I love being an older, middle-aged mom. Even though my energy level is less than it was years ago, I feel like I'm in a better "place" to raise my daughter. My feet are firmly planted and I have peace in knowing that no matter what lies ahead, I will do my best to raise her as a good, honest person. There will be times when I fail, but I won't second-guess every little decision I make. I'll do my best, because, as a parent, that's all you really can do.
Here are 8 other things I love about being an older mom (please keep in mind that I'm not a first-timer): Read more
