Another wild time at the Solstice Parade
Thanks to Kristi for the photos!
From the Fremont Arts Council:
The gears are oiled and the tires are inflated, but there are still a couple things that cyclists need to do to ride in the Fremont Arts Council's 28th Annual Fremont Solstice Parade on June 18. Riders are asked to RSVP this year here to reserve their spot in the parade. Reserved cyclists will have advance opportunity for next year's registration, when limits on the number of cyclists will be implemented.
Asking painted cyclists to register, and limiting the number of riders is an effort to improve the quality of the body art and enable people to see it better. The hope is that the event will be safer and that those who do ride represent the most creative body painting.
The parade is entirely run by volunteers who consider themselves stewards of an authentic community icon – the Fremont Solstice Parade and Celebration. They appreciate your help sustaining Seattle's best party. Donations may be made here.
The Fremont Solstice Parade is Saturday, June 18, at 3 p.m., beginning at North 36th Street and 2nd Avenue Northwest, traveling east along the north shore of the Ship Canal into Gasworks Park. The event ends with the Solstice Celebration in the park, including HONK! Fest West, a gathering of local and national street bands, food trucks, beer garden, and more art!
The Fremont Arts Council (FAC) believes that art helps build stronger communities and creates a sense of place. Fremont is a state of mind, not a zip code. The FAC produces the Fremont Solstice Parade and Celebration, creates and cares for public art like the Fremont Troll, and engages everyone year-round in workshops and events including May Day, Luminata, Troll-o-ween, and Winter Feast.

Seattle City Councilmember Mike O'Brien (District 6, NW Seattle) released a proposal today that would make it easier for homeowners to build backyard cottages.
Councilmember O'Brien's bill makes a series of changes to the existing backyard cottage and mother-in-law unit building code, including:
- Allowing both a backyard cottage and mother-in-law unit on the same lot, which provides additional housing options while maintaining the character and appearance of the property.
- Increasing the height limit for backyard cottages by 1-2 feet, depending on lot width, which would allow enough livable space to make two-bedroom units more feasible. Setback requirements from property edges would not change.
- Removing the requirement for owners to include an off-street parking space for backyard cottages or mother-in-law unit. Currently, this requirement often requires removal of green space on the property. Feedback found the parking requirement was prohibitive in creating new backyard cottages, as additional parking spaces were either unnecessary or unable to fit on the lot. For single-family lots outside urban villages or urban centers, the one required off-street parking space for a single-family house requirement will still apply.
- If a backyard cottage is only one-story, its floor area may cover up to 60% of the rear yard (currently 40%), creating a large enough livable space for those unable to use stairs. Existing setback requirements from the lot edge would not change.
- Requiring that the property owner live on-site for at least one year after a backyard cottage or mother-in-law unit is created, rather than the current requirement that the owner live on-site at least 6 months out of every year in perpetuity. The requirement prevents speculative developers from acquiring property and building backyard cottages that don't fit the character of the neighborhood, while allowing the owner future flexibility for those who don't want, or are unable to continue living on-site.
- Allowing backyard cottages on lots 3,200 square feet or greater in area (currently 4,000 square feet), which would make approximately 7,300 additional parcels eligible to provide this additional housing option.
- Increasing the maximum gross floor area of a backyard cottage to 1,000 square feet (currently 800 square feet), which would provide more livable area and increase the likelihood of two-bedroom backyard cottages to better serve families with children.
- If a backyard cottage is built above a garage, the garage square footage will no longer count toward the maximum floor area, which often results in an unreasonably small living space.
The city's Office of Planning & Community Development released its SEPA determination of non-significance today. The public can comment on the proposal through June 2 by emailing Nick Welch at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail at City of Seattle, OPCD, Attn: Nick Welch, PO Box 34019, Seattle WA 98124-4019.
The proposal is scheduled for consideration in the Council's Planning, Land Use & Zoning Committee in July.

SPU tested water in a small percentage of older Seattle homes with galvanized piping. Results showed lead levels well below allowable federal limits.
Seattle Public Utilities released the results yesterday. From KOMO:
"This sampling protocol was much more extensive than the standard federal test, and should give customers an added sense of confidence in their water," said SPU Drinking Water Quality Manager Wylie Harper.
The alarm rang Wednesday when officials in Tacoma found that water in four homes were above the allowable lead limits.
Tacoma officials attribute the presence of lead in their water to sections of pipes known as "goosenecks." On the city website, the pieces of lead pipe are described as having been used between 1900 and 1940 to connect the water main to customers' service lines.
In the wake of that finding, Seattle Public Utilities asked all Seattle residents to run water for two minutes before drinking it, as a precaution.
The utility tested five older homes that have the potentially suspect galvanized pipes, and so-called gooseneck fittings between the water main and the home. After allowing the water to sit overnight, they tested samples.
The highest lead level was 1.95 parts per billion (ppb), well below the federal limit of 15 ppb, according to SPU.
"Seattle Public Utilities is in compliance with U.S. Department of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations," said Derek Pell of the Washington State Department of Health's (DOH) Office of Drinking Water.
The Seattle water supplier also posted an interactive map to allow homeowners to determine what kind of material – copper, plastic or galvanized steel – the service line that supplies their homes.
Looking for another way to get fit? CrossFit Twenty Pound Hammer opened last week in neighboring Ballard.
Located at 4550 9th Ave. NW, on the corner of 46th and Leary, Twenty Pound Hammer boasts high ceilings and tons of natural light from big windows. The Ballard location was chosen both for its central location in the neighborhood and its accessibility to other parts of the city, along with free parking spaces. "While we place a high priority on the individual, we are dedicated to building a strong community amongst our athletes," says Steve Amoroso, co-owner and head coach.
CrossFit Twenty Pound Hammer will offer one hour-long classes as early as 6am on weekdays (7am on weekends), and as late as 7.30pm on weekdays (11am on Saturdays). Twenty Pound Hammer will add on more holistic and wellness programs with in the first few months, including yoga and other activities geared toward recovery and nutrition. All initial consultations are free, and experienced CrossFitters get a trial week for free, as well as a consultation. Click here for more information.

The Phinney Neighborhood Association has compiled a very long list of businesses inside and outside our neighborhood that are helping to raise funds for businesses, employees and residents affected by last Wednesday's explosion in downtown Greenwood. That list is being continually updated, so please check it often. Here are a few fundraisers happening this week:
Peddler Brewing Company, 1514 NW Leary Way, is hosting an all-ages fundraiser for G&O Family Cyclery, which is adjacent to the three demolished businesses and sustained heavy damage. Fifty percent of all beer sales from 5-10 p.m. Tuesday and funds from a raffle will benefit the bike shop. Raffle drawings will take place at 6:30 p.m. and 8 pm. Cycle Dogs (pedal-powered vegan hot dog cart) will be on site from 6-10 p.m. and will donate 100 percent of its revenue.
Magic Magpie Studio henna artist and Greenwood resident Antoinette is hosting "Henna For Greenwood" from 5-8 p.m. Tuesday at Makeda & Mingus, 153 N. 78th St. All proceeds will go to the Greenwood Relief Fund, with Makeda & Mingus matching every penny.
Gainsbourg, 8550 Greenwood Ave. N., is donating 20 percent of all sales Wednesday. The restaurant is open from 4 p.m. to midnight.
Phinney Books, 7405 Greenwood Ave. N., is having a week-long silent auction of neighborhood storefront paintings by Mark O'Malley, whose art has been for sale at the bookstore this past year. His painting of Mr. Gyros and Neptune Coffee sold last year, but he's offered to create another one. There will be plenty of other paintings of iconic neighborhood stores to bid on. The silent auction closes Friday night. Everything over $50 for each painting will be donated to the relief fund. And Phinney Books is donating all proceeds from Friday's sales (beyond what it cost to buy the books).
Tanya, the Phinney resident who purchased the Mr. Gyros and Neptune painting last year and is now living temporarily in Japan, emailed us a photo of the painting, which hangs proudly on her wall.
Greenwood Fred Meyer is donating all the proceeds from their coin boxes at cash registers.
Verity Credit Union and Taproot Theatre are holding a raffle for two gift baskets, with tickets to Taproot and gift cards to Naked City Brewery & Taphouse. Stop by the Verity branch at 8533 Greenwood Ave. N. to purchase raffle tickets.
Hooyman Family Chiropractic, 143 NW 85th St., is donating 20 percent of all proceeds in March and April to the relief fund.
Umpqua Bank, 7120 Greenwood Ave. N., is collecting donations and will match the first $500.
The PNA was selling its whimsical holiday monkeys as a fundraiser for the fund and has already sold out, raising $11,000 for the Greenwood Relief fund.
Greenwood Elementary School families selling the "Show Greenwood Some Love" shirts raised $4,100 in just a few hours during Friday night's Artwalk. Another batch of T-shirts will be available this week.
There is a GoFundMe just for G & O Family Cyclery. So far it's raised more than $33,000.
Another GoFundMe account was started hours after the explosion by a community member with all proceeds going to employees of affected businesses (the PNA became the fiscal sponsor): So far it's raised more than $45,000.
Tax-deductible donations can be made through the PNA's Greenwood Relief Fund.
A few days ago the Green Lake Community Council donated $500 to the PNA's Greenwood Relief Fund.
The Bureau of Fearless Ideas (formerly 826 Seattle), Greenwood's tutoring and writing center, is about to publish "Encyclopedia Greenwoodia," with stories by BFI students and professional writers. (The very first piece in the book, written by a BFI student, is about Mr. Gyros.) They've decided to increase the publication run and have pledged 100 percent of the profits to the Greenwood Relief Fund. The book will be available in mid-April.
Numerous neighborhood businesses are collection sites for the Greenwood Relief Fund. Check the PNA's special webpage for a complete list.
Next week King County's contractor will begin installing a new underground structure at the intersection of NW 2nd Ave and Canal St. This structure will connect the new siphons to the existing County sewer system which runs under NW Canal St. The work will close the corner of 2nd Ave. NW and NW Canal St. beginning Monday, March 14. The corner will remain closed through the fall.
What this means for you: drivers on 2nd Ave. NW will be able to use the alley to detour around the closed intersection. NW Canal St. will be open to two-way traffic. Westbound vehicles on NW Canal St. can use the turn-around area near 2nd Ave. NW.
Along with the detours, expect more noise and activity on 2nd Ave. NW. The contractor will start by installing shoring for excavation of the new connecting structure.
What to expect
Stay safe!
Please avoid the project area and sidewalks on NW 36th St. next to the project area. Please do not engage individuals working at the site. Community members can ask questions or share concerns about the project 24 hours a day by calling the project information line:
Seattle's an amazing city, right? We all know that. But surprisingly, not all of the outside world does. A group of filmmakers, including Director of Photography & Fremont denizen Dan McComb, have set out to change that with "We Make Seattle," a community funded short film highlighting why Seattle is the ideal home for creative workers and entrepreneurs. Watch a teaser here.
Bryan Zug and Scott Berkun were inspired by questions raised at a Startup Roundtable hosted by Mayor McGinn in 2012. "I overheard many entrepreneurs asking the Mayor to help promote the vibrancy of the city to the world and I thought: wait a second! Why are we asking the government to do this? We're entrepreneurs! We're makers! Shouldn't we do this ourselves?" That night he asked his friend Bryan, who runs Bootstrapper Studios, to help, and "We Make Seattle" was born.
The pair teamed up with Dan and set out to make a video profile of Seattle that highlighted the energy and quality of life in the city, which has been rated the #1 tech city in America by The Atlantic yet still is not considered by outsiders to be a destination for creative enterprises.
They raised funds through Kickstarter and with the support of over 250 backers and several local companies, including Tableau Software, Zillow, Filter, and more. The project was truly a grassroots effort–Scott and Bryan love Seattle and saw a way they could help attract new businesses with their combined skills.
It's also a community film because they are making all the footage available for reuse, and are encouraging institutions, businesses, and residents to share and embed the video wherever they like. The pair are also developing a website with additional regional job finding, business building, and relocation resources.
All are invited to premiere "We Make Seattle" beginning at 6:30pm on March 24 at UW Startup Hall.

Hope you are well!

Woodland Park Zoo needs help naming its new baby gorilla. The winner will receive a variety of great gifts from the zoo, including a chance to visit the gorilla up-close!
To enter, participants must choose a female name from the African languages of Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo, and submit an entry form via mail, online here, or by dropping it off at any ballot box located on zoo grounds between now and Monday, February 29.
One winner will be selected by a judging panel of zoo staff to take home the Grand Prize:
For official rules and terms of participation or to submit an entry online, click here. More about the little cutie from Woodland Park:
The baby gorilla was born on November 20, 2015 to mom Nadiri and dad Vip. "Nadiri is a first-time, inexperienced mom," said Martin Ramirez, mammal curator at Woodland Park Zoo. "Knowing that, we planned for different outcomes while she was pregnant, including the need for human intervention."
Nadiri gave birth naturally but did not show strong maternal skills initially; as a result, staff immediately stepped in for the safety and welfare of the baby and to allow the new mom to rest. Since her birth, the zoo's gorilla and veterinary staff have been providing 24/7 care for the unnamed baby gorilla behind the scenes in the gorillas' sleeping quarters in a den next to Nadiri.
Multiple times a day, the mom and baby gorilla spend time together in the same den. "During recent sessions, the two have lain just inches apart, played and eaten together. The close proximity is a good sign they're comfortable together and getting to know each other," said Ramirez.
The baby gorilla remains off view where she is growing and thriving. "She's developing normally; introductions are progressing slowly but steady," said Ramirez. Currently, there is no time frame for when the baby will be on exhibit.
In the meantime, zoo staff is excited to officially give the baby gorilla a name. "As an ambassador for her species, an authentic regional name helps share the story of her counterparts in the wild," said Ramirez.
The baby gorilla's father is 37-year-old Vip, who has sired six other offspring with three different females at the zoo. He currently lives at the zoo in another group with two females.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
When band mates Danielle K.L. Gregoire and Ravella Riffenburg decided to write a wine-soaked email to Mal Blum, a New York musician whose music often helped get the two through bouts of depression, break ups, and other heavy sad stuff, and offer them (Mal uses the singular pronoun 'they') a spot playing their song Fine! at a strangely awesome show about sorrow at the Seattle Fringe Festival called A Necessary Sadness, Danielle and Ravella didn't actually expect a reply. So when they didn't get one for a month it wasn't surprising. The surprise came when Mal, after a month, wrote the two an email apologizing for their lack of response and admitted to being intrigued by the concept of the show, and agreed to consider the offer to come play in Seattle.
A Necessary Sadness is a show that celebrates the vulnerability of sorrow by putting people on stage in front of a live audience. After doing four shows, Gregoire found that the shows ended up being more uplifting than sad.
"It was surprising how many people turned out to sit in a room and listen to sad stories, and left with smiles on their tear-stained faces and how many people wanted to come tell their stories." Gregoire said after the ANS in December at the Pocket Theater. Gregoire decided to develop A Necessary Sadness after three years in Seattle's hilarious, but grueling stand up comedy scene running the Comedy Womb left her depressed and exhausted. She wanted to explore the other side of the coin, the 'what if you put people in a room and told them they didn't have to laugh, but instead were allowed to cry'. The show features stories, sketch, and music exploring sadness and ends with a set by a stand up comedian to lift the audience back up, and finally a cover of Mal Blum's Fine! The show was so successful that Gregoire decided to submit to the Seattle Fringe Festival lottery and got in. Gregoire confessed to Riffenburg that she dreamed of asking Mal Blum to come play the final show at the Fringe festival, and like a good friend, Riffenburg decided to write up an email asking Blum to come perform. Then one Saturday night after a particularly good bottle of wine, they sent that email. Now Riffenburg and Gregoire's dream is coming true.
Mal Blum is coming to Seattle to play ANS, and also two completely independent shows organized by the duo, and their band Sea of Slugs even gets to open for their favorite musician. The independent shows will feature comedy by Elicia Sanchez, as well as new comedians and poetry by spoken word poets and are sponsored in part by the Northwest Network.
Turns out sometimes sadness has positive consequences:

Recent reviews
Good 3.7 /5 from 1392 reviews
Great stay elevators are extremely slow in the mornings or when a lot of people are using them wifi is limited
It was a very comfortable experience. The room was clean and the beds were comfy. Free wifi up to 100mb per day was limited so we didn't use it at all.
I stayed at the hotel twice, each was 3 nights. The location is very convenient, walking distance to many attractions and train station. The amenities are good but the front desk services are poor. I booked the airport shuttle to the airport on 4/25/16. The shuttle supposed to arrive at 6.30 am, I asked the front desk girl whether the shuttle would be on time. She answered there was still 3 minutes to 6.30, and she didn't receive a call. At 6.40am, i saw a shuttle passing the hotel without stopping, asked her again. She raised her voice telling me the shuttle would come without any explanation. I couldn't see a smile on her face while we were interacting.
Had 3 adults traveling together Enjoyed 3 twin beds. Room was comfortable and clean. We got 4 gb $10 a night extra. Several nice restaurants close by. Got on Hop ON HoOff Bus closeby. Would stay here again
Apart from the shower water spraying all over the bathroom even with the shower door closed, and there was no drainage in the bathroom to let the water out, otherwise Travelodge is all good. Good location.

Immunological properties of engineered nanomaterials
The question if certain engineered nanoparticles are toxic, and if yes to what degree, is still one of the major issues that hasn't been properly answered yet. Most studies in the literature thus far have focused on the environmental aspects of nanoparticle toxicity, and these studies have been conducted primarily on industrial or natural/incidental nanoparticles. However, engineered nanoparticles are at the forefront of the rapidly developing field of nanomedicine; and here they are deliberately injected into the body to perform a specific medical application: fluorescent agents for imaging; drug delivery vehicles; or therapeutic agents for the destruction of cancer cells (for instance in thermolysis); just to name a few. A brand new review article provides the first comprehensive summary of the properties of engineered nanoparticles which determine their interaction with components of the immune system. It concludes that nanoparticle-based therapeutics are no more intrinsically immunotoxic than traditional pharmaceuticals, such as biotechnology-derived or small molecules. Moreover, incorporation of traditional drugs into nanotechnology formulations frequently results in a decrease in immunotoxicity compared to the native drug. Although many questions still require thorough investigation, the available data suggest that nanoparticles can be engineered to become the next generation of biocompatible drug delivery platforms.

Spots on DP2m sensor.
Sigma would "suck so hard" if you sent it back and they said take a hike. I am sure they would not. If you have dirt or oil on the sensor of a sealed camera like the DP - send it back. An SLR with interchangeable lenses and moving parts - maybe you would pick some up along the way. But a sealed camera should be clean and if it is not I am sure they would fix it for you.
Sigma has a lot of issues particularly with QC, but at the end of the day I am quite sure they stand behind their products. The OP should send it back and either get it replaced or get it professionally cleaned by Sigma.

Unbelievable, Sigmas customers are so generous, they have to reconcile to so many limitations, failures and obstructions taking photos and developing it... I think interchangeable mount would be a great solution of this Sigmas deficiency - you could at least clean the dust off the sensor... And you don´t need to buy three DP cameras for versatility, only three lenses... :))

SAN FRANCISCO, CA and PARIS and TEL AVIV, ISRAEL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/12 -- Downloaded almost 7M times, Appsfire, the leading recommendation engine for mobile apps, today unveiled a slick and entirely groundbreaking update, making the new Appsfire the fastest, most engaging and extremely addictive way to find the best apps whether on discount, or not. Free and easy-to-use, the upgraded Appsfire has a visually rich display with new social ways to keep on top of the trends, share app lists with friends, and review real opinions aggregated from posts on Facebook and Twitter.
Rebuilt from the ground up to be the most advanced and powerful recommendation engine, Appsfire dynamically sorts through all of the hundreds of thousands of iOS apps in the App Store for the best ones.
"Appsfire is now even more delightful and easy to use and people are telling us they really like how fast it is to search for new favorite apps. The unique, elegant, social and gorgeous upgraded Appsfire tells you if an app is truly first-rate before you press the install button," said Ouriel Ohayon, Appsfire co-founder. "Appsfire definitely saves people time and money."
Application Overwhelm
While over 25 billion apps have been installed to date on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad devices -- well over 75 apps per device -- it is time consuming to explore over 700,000-plus iOS applications (1 million ever created) in the App Store for quality software that fits your individual needs and interests. Even when you know what you want, it is tough to decipher which application is the best one in a category.
Ohayon added, "People around the world tell us how addictive and simple Appsfire is to use. They love the speed, value the clear-cut recommendations that help them make decisions and they are having fun with the social aspects of the new release."
Great! Only 1 you Need! *****
The best app of its kind. Navigating the app is very easy and it's actually very fun...
October 31, 2012
Love it!!! *****
One of the nicer app searching programs! Has a very nice interface!!! The app just keeps getting better and better! Nice job guys!
October 10, 2012
5 stars for a reason *****
Downloaded this app and I haven't stopped using it yet. It's definitely the most useful app -- September 26, 2012
How Appsfire works:
When you launch Appsfire for the first time, the mobile application prompts you to share your interests, set personal criteria for the types of applications you are interested in, and indicate your price tolerance. Appsfire automatically tailors your experience and presents top-quality apps that are relevant to you.
Appsfire shows a continuously computed quality score of 1-100 based on a wide range of parameters gathered both inside and outside the App Store, such as professional review sites, Twitter, and Facebook.
Every aspect of the app has been optimized to save time. The new, blazing-fast Appsfire search engine instantly guesses what you are to looking for (name of an app, a category or even a need); e.g. when you type AN, up pops Angry Birds.
Availability and Cost:
Appsfire is a free application now available in the Apple App Store for download onto iPhones and iPads. Appsfire is offered in 13 different languages.
About Appsfire
Appsfire is a premium, mobile, discovery and marketing platform for iOS and Android platforms. Downloaded almost 7 million times, the elegant and personal recommendation engine helps consumers find applications that match their needs. The Appsfire platform powers app discovery through a variety of third party premium mobile apps and web services. The original concept of Appsfire was born in early 2010 out of a simple point of frustration: sharing and finding apps simply wasn't practical.

A strange thing is happening along the way to the Internet of Things, namely far too many devices to work with and manage.

Enter the conversational interface revolution, combining bots we can literally talk with, gesture to, and even direct with our thoughts, with embedded artificial intelligence, wh...

NZ King Salmon Marlborough Boys' College rugby first XV are not dwelling on last week's disappointment ahead of tomorrow's Press Cup match against Rangiora High School in Blenheim.
MBC suffered their first loss of the season in heartbreaking fashion against traditional rivals Nelson College in Blenheim last Thursday, a try in the last play of the match handing the home side a 16-17 defeat.
Although MBC head coach Gray Cornelius believed his side should have won the match, he said they were taking positives from the loss.
"The boys were pretty disappointed, but we can take a lot of confidence out of it. It was a pretty young and inexperienced side that took the field against Nelson College so for those guys to compete like they did was very good."
MBC went into last week's grudge match as underdogs, but proved they too are Press Cup heavyweights by almost clinching an upset victory.
"We saw [Nelson College] as a frontrunner to the competition, so it showed we can compete with anyone in this competition if we approach games with the right mindset," explained Cornelius.
If form is anything to go by, tomorrow's opponents should not pose as big a challenge for MBC. Rangiora have notched only one victory this season, a round-three 15-13 win over Lincoln High School.
The North Canterbury side, which is coming off a sixth-round bye, lost its most recent match 25-10 to St Andrews' College.
MBC enjoyed time off this week after facing a strenuous playing schedule over recent rounds. The nine-day gap between the Nelson College and Rangiora matches is MBC's biggest break of the competition so far, and Cornelius said his charges have benefited from the longer space between games.
"Having a few days off has been good for us, so I think we're better for it."
The experienced coach said there has been little change in training this week, with his side continuing to focus on basics such as defensive work and skill levels.
There is also little alteration to the starting lineup, with the only change being the return of Curtis Pedersen-Line from concussion, who replaces Trance Poa at halfback.
The durable Nigel Satherley slots into blindside flanker, swapping with Blake Spence, who will take Satherley's place on the open side.
Tomorrow's match kicks off on the college front field at 12pm.

Asbestos-related cancer victims' compensation victory
The Supreme Court has ruled that insurance liability was "triggered" at the time mesothelioma victims were exposed to asbestos dust.
The Supreme Court has ruled that insurance liability was "triggered" at the time mesothelioma victims were exposed to asbestos dust.
A lawyer representing the lead case in today's Supreme Court judgment on asbestos-related cancer said it provided "clarity, consistency and comfort" for the families of victims.
The ruling said insurers covering employers at the time of exposure to the illness were liable for the illness.
Helen Ashton from Irwin Mitchell, who represented the lead claimant in the case, said the judgment means the families of the thousands of victims would "get access to justice and receive the financial security they need."
"Asbestos-related disease is the biggest killer in the workplace in Britain, causing more than 5,000 deaths every year. The number of people affected by mesothelioma is still rising and because of the time it can take for this illness to develop it is expected to peak around 2015."

Talking tech: Conquering the 'digital native'
Adapting to the next generation of consumers is a key subject of discussion among food retailers right now. Software giant Oracle has just released the results of a survey that sheds some light on the shoppers of tomorrow. Sam Webb reports.
How grocery retailers react to the next generation of consumers is subject to a great deal of scrutiny at the moment.
The 'digital native' – younger people aged between 15 and 24 whose adoption of technology is second nature – will soon be leaving home, raising families and, most importantly to supermarkets, doing their own food shopping. What can be done to engage them, build a dialogue and ultimately get them down the shopping aisle?
At the World Retail Congress in Berlin this week, Oracle, the business technology company, released a white paper called 'The Future of Retail: Through the Eyes of Digital Natives'.
It contains the results of a survey that Oracle commissioned to examine the attitudes of 10,000 young consumers in the UK, Germany and France to current shopping needs and how they feel retailers should support them going forward.
Mike Webster, the senior vice president and general manager of Oracle Retail, leads the global business unit's solution groups, strategic planning, product development, sales, service and support. He outlined some of the key findings to just-food, some encouraging, some perhaps troubling to certain chains.
"I think what the research suggests, first and foremost, that store-based retailing will remain the primary shopping outlet in 2025. Store-based retailing as a dead industry is wildly exaggerated," he said.
"The second key finding is [the digital natives'] desire for a contact interaction – how is it that you bring a higher level of integration, whether it's in-store, online, call centre, mobile or catalogue. The third is their desire for personalised content. We found that eight out of ten promotions they receive have no relevance to them. Promotions are not meeting the needs of the digital native today."
Supermarkets, however, appear to be engaging well with the digital native. Webster says European chains have been particularly quick to grasp their needs.
"Some of the favourite retailers that these digital natives identify with are the big food guys, specifically on price and choice," he said. "Tesco is doing a tremendous job. They are a leader in providing a connected experience."
But there is still work to be done in terms of identifying the consumers in the face of the numerous ways that grocery retailers engage with them.
Companies that want genuine insight into shoppers' buying habits and desires must unravel the various avenues they now use to communicate with them – and Oracle is unifying each of these channels.
"Despite an explosion in processing power, storage and business intelligence, to a large part consumers remain anonymous to food retailers. Sometimes the customer is a loyalty number, sometimes it's a private label credit card, an address, an e-mail or a web ID. To a food retailer one customer can look like eight different individuals."
The technological tools available to retailers, from online promotions to business analytics, is vast, but the survey also discovered something of key importance to digital natives that is as old as commerce itself – price.
The white paper found that price is the single most important element of the shopping experience for digital natives.
It states that price is "critical" for these consumers, which, it says, could have been driven by the fact they came of age during a period of economic downturn, and that they appear to be more financially independent (half of the respondents from the UK and France claim to have little or no financial help from their parents). Therefore, the report says, these circumstances may also explain why the top five retailers visited across Europe were Tesco, Carrefour, Auchan, Aldi and Lidl.
"Price is number one in 2025 – it's not going to be recommendations on a social network, it's not going to be mobile promotions. It's price," Webster said.
So how is the digital native going to be a part of the online grocery shopping boom? Webster says some already are thanks to outreach programmes by supermarkets and the numbers will continue to rise.
He added: "Over time I believe that digital natives' needs will change as they become householders and start families. They will enjoy the convenience benefits and rising fuel prices will engage them as we move towards a more urban-based retail environment.
"But great retail is great retail, it doesn't matter whether that's in-store, mobile or home delivery – they all have to deliver."

Trapster update adds background location
Trapster has released an update to its social driving navigation app, adding background location support for multitasking capable iOS 4 devices. Trapster leverages a social network and user-maintained database to track road hazards such as speed traps, red light cameras and police check points and uses iOS location services to alert users as they approach such locations. When running on iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and third-generation iPod touch devices, the latest version of Trapster can now continue running the background to monitor the device's location and provide alerts. Trapster also includes a Caravan feature to communicate with other users in real time and a Patrol feature that identifies which roads users have recently travelled on. The Trapster service represents the world's largest social driving network with 6.5 million users and a database of over two million reported traps worldwide. The application also includes a My Trips feature for general travel navigation and support for local search, Google Live Traffic, turn-by-turn directions, full iPod controls and Facebook and Twitter integration. Trapster 4.3 is available from the App Store as a free download.
