Despite the negativity often associated with children watching television, eight out of 10 parents questioned believed it has a positive effect on their child's development, including helping them to expand their imagination (63 per cent) and broaden their vocabulary (60 per cent).
Three quarters of parents do not feel guilty about their child watching television and when appropriately managed and supervised, believe it can have a positive influence in a child's life, according to psychologist Tanya Byron.
The report, Children and Television Today, surveyed 1,880 parents of children aged between two and 11, through Mumsnet.com, a parenting website. The study was commissioned by Freeview, the digital television service.
Dr Byron told the Daily Telegraph: "To be honest, television is a part of our lives.
"While parents say television is great, they feel guilty about it at the same time," she said.
"I think a lot of that is about not having a clear steer through some of the conflicting research that is out there."
The report also found that 66 per cent of parents identifying a positive effect on their child's numeracy and musical skills from television.
Earlier this year, Dr Bryon reported to the Government about the risks to children from the internet and in video games. As a result, a new UK Council for Child Internet Safety was set up and a new classification system for computer games was established.
"We do know that children who lie still and they passive victims of television they tend to graze on junk food and metabolic rate goes down. It's obvious they will become obese because television is not part of a balanced diet of activity," she said.
"This research looks at the bigger picture and helps steer parents through some of these things. Also make very practical suggestions about what they can do."
Dr Byron highlighted research from America which recommends that children under age the age of two shouldn't watch television.
Whilst Dr Bryon refused to say whether she would push for such clear guidelines in the UK she said: "There are concerns that in part look at content - very, very young children who are still in early neurological development and [that] it's not a good idea to stick them in front of a screen for a long period of time."
The research also shows that 50 per cent of parents said having a digital television recorder has revolutionised their child's viewing in a positive way, and parents recognise that having one, makes it easier to control and plan what their child watches around busy family routines.

THE Australian dollar is higher but remains below 94 US cents after a quiet overseas trade.
At 0700 AEST on Monday, the local unit was trading at 93.74 US cents, up from 93.48 cents on Friday.
There was little to drive currency markets during the offshore session on Friday night, Brown Brothers Harriman global head of currency strategy Marc Chandler said.
"Relatively narrow trading ranges were seen for the Australian dollar as a consolidative phase tightened its grip," he said. "The 94 US cents mark remains the key barrier to the upside, but the enthusiasm for the downside has waned." Mr Chandler said there is a belief that the Australian dollar might be in for a big fall after rallying more than six US cents since the end of January.
"If this is view is accurate, the Australian dollar should begin to trade more heavily in the day ahead," he said.
"A break of the 20-day moving average near 93.20 US cents would offer confirmation." The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release merchandise import data for April on Monday, and on Tuesday the Reserve Bank of Australian releases the minutes of its May board meeting.

PAYG pensions and economic cycles
This article analyses the dynamics of an overlapping generations economy (Diamond, 1965) with pay-as-you-go financed public pensions and myopic expectations. It is shown that large PAYG pensions triggers economic fluctuations depending on the mutual relationship between technology and preference parameters. Our findings constitute a policy warning about the size of social security and provide another explanation of the occurrence of persistent cycles.

text: Greetings! I have been asked to host a Q and A column on HT China Magazine. I will also be posting the questions on this site and providing answers for you here. Feel free to ask further questions or additional information. Regards Gregg Question: Now,4K2K is so hot. I found the Sony VPL-VW1000`s resolution was 4096×2160,different from some 4k2k TV sets, which was 3840x2160.Will VPL-VW1000 got the dot to dot problem? Answer: This question is complex and complexing ! The 4K Sony should be able to do a 4:1 pixel map and keep the correct sizing. So pixel mapping (dot to dot) should not be an issue. New JVC projectors are just coming to market and are also being touted as 4K units but with a slightly different resolution. I posed this question to Ken Bylsma, Field Engineer, for JVC USA. Ken replied: JVC has implemented e-Shift to create an image with 3840x2160 (4K) precision which is 1.78:1, so there is no asymmetrical size scaling of 1920x1080 video. The e-Shift process does not simply double up the same 1920x1080 frame to create a 3840x2160 frame. It's got some sophistication and intelligence to it. The e-Shift system evaluates each 1920x1080 frame and uses a correlation detection algorithm to internally create a complete 3840x2160 frame that has enhanced edge transitions, increased contrast in detailed areas, and the near-elimination of aliasing and stair-stepping. This enhanced 3840x2160 frame is then separated into two new 1920x1080 subframes, which are then alternately projected to the screen at 120Hz. The e-Shift device diagonally shifts each of the two frames ½ pixel from each other using a unique optical diffraction technique, resulting in an image that has 3840x2160 (4K) precision. The ½ pixel shift technique is purely optical, not mechanical. JVC e-Shift technology was co-developed with NHK Engineering Services. Gregg Loewen Lead Video Standards Instructor, THX Ltd.

Virginia - A Halloween-themed graphic featuring a zombie President Barack Obama with a bullet hole in his forehead provoked widespread outrage and the attention of the Secret Service on Monday after a local Republican committee in Virginia used it to scare up interest in Halloween parade political activities.The montage, a banner on a mass e-mail to Republicans in a Virginia county, mingles seasonal images including a jack-o-lantern, a disfigured US Rep Nancy Pelosi and a throng of flesh-hungry zombie Obama supporters.The posterised image of a rotting, undead Obama with a bleeding, large-calibre hole an inch above his right eye prompted Democrats to cry foul and Virginia's Republican governor to denounce it as "shameful and offensive"."This is a disgusting and violent portrayal of the president of the United States," said Democratic Party of Virginia spokesperson Brian Coy.'No place in politics'Republican Governor Bob McDonnell, through spokesperson J Tucker Martin, called on the Loudoun County Republicans to "apologise for their actions, and to immediately ensure that such imagery is never used again".Virginia Republican Chairperson Pat Mullins said such an image "has no place in our politics. Ever".Loudoun County Republican chairperson Mark Sell said in an e-mail response to The Associated Press that the graphic was "a light-hearted attempt to inject satire humour into the Halloween holiday"."Apparently, some individuals have interpreted an image of Barack Obama that appeared within the e-mail as intending to portray the President as a victim of a violent crime," Sell wrote. "Nothing could be further from the truth, and we deeply and sincerely apologise to the President and anyone who viewed the image if that was the impression that was left."There was no reply from Sell to a follow-up email seeking an alternative explanation for the nickel-sized hole in Obama's forehead.The image was first reported in a post on Monday on the conservative northern Virginia blog, Too Conservative. The post's author, identified as a "Loudoun Insider", said he's no Obama fan, "but putting up a photo of him as a zombie with a bullet hole in his head?"Secret Service 'aware of the situation'"Someone should send this to the US Secret Service," the blog post concluded. The Secret Service is in charge of the president's security."We are aware of the situation," said George Ogilvie, a Secret Service spokesperson in Washington.The image the Loudoun Republicans altered is the red, white and blue image of a determined-looking Obama gazing upward that, emblazoned with the caption "HOPE", became a ubiquitous Obama poster during his 2008 campaign.It was created from a copyrighted AP photo taken in 2006 when Obama was a US senator appearing at the National Press Club in Washington. The AP sued over the unlicensed, uncredited and uncompensated use of its photo. The litigation was settled earlier this year.

LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - Banks arranging a 1.97 billion euro ($2.60 billion) buyout financing for German academic publisher Springer Science+ Business Media have had to offer a range of concessions to investors to sell the deal after a weak response, banking sources said on Wednesday.
Private equity firm BC Partners agreed to buy Springer in June for 3.3 billion euros. The deal is the biggest Western European buyout loan since the 9 billion pounds ($13.83 billion) financing backing the buyout of Alliance Boots by KKR in 2008.
The terms of Springer's loan looked aggressive after a market correction in June when the U.S. Federal Reserve announced plans to scale back its equity-friendly stimulus programme.
The banks underwriting Springer's financing - Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Barclays, Nomura and UBS - had to offer the paper at a 350 basis points discount at 96.5 percent of face value, along with other incentives.
The enhancements will use up most of the banks' fees, which will reduce profitability on the deal. Investors said that the banks could be breaking even or possibly making a loss, depending on flex provisions.
"That discount is on the cusp, my guess is they're either making nothing on it or making a loss, it depends on the flex language," a senior leveraged loan investor said.
The underwriting banks declined to comment. BC Partners was not immediately available to comment.
Flex provisions are included in the terms of buyout financings to allow banks to make changes to the terms to make them more attractive to investors, if deals prove difficult to sell.
Springer's deal, which had leverage of seven times earnings, was also one of the first European loans to be sold on a 'covenant-lite' basis, which offers no protection for lenders via financial tests.
Investors are concerned that publishing companies could be disintermediated by free access and online publishing systems, as yellow pages publishing businesses have been.
US investors were also put off after losing money on textbook publisher Cengage, which filed for bankruptcy on July 2, as it is in the same industry and risk profile as Springer, several investors said.
Cengage was bought in 2007 in a $7.75 billion deal that was one of Apax Partners' and OMERS Private Equity's biggest investments at the time.
"If you've written off money in Cengage, as a lender are you going to come back one or two months later and take the same bet?" a senior investor said.
Other enhancements to Springer's loan include 101 soft-call protection for one year, which guarantees a payout of 1 percent over par to investors for one year if the company opts to prepay its loans within that time frame.
Lenders may also be offered 'Most Favoured Nation' status, which guarantees a minimum secondary price for the loan, to protect against the lead banks discounting the paper further once it frees to trade.
The market correction is less severe than 2011, when more than 10 billion euros of unsold loans had to be heavily discounted to sell, bringing heavy losses to arranging banks, investors said.
Investors are seeing Springer's issues as largely credit specific and said the deal was unlikely to affect many other European deals being sold in the US.
"This paper will still find a home, it's not like 2007 and 2008 when there was no bid," a loan syndicate head said.

HÀ NỘI – Auto lending in Việt Nam recorded faster growth than other Southeast Asian emerging markets in the period between 2011 and 2016, according to a research by Singapore-based The Asian Banker.
This will continue in the next two years, the research has predicted. The research found that Việt Nam had seen a significant increase in auto lending during the past few years, driven by rapid economic growth, improving purchasing power and a growing middle class.
The Asian Banker said that auto lending would experience extraordinary growth in Việt Nam.
"We expect that car ownership will continue to increase in Việt Nam in the coming years, as the increasing demand for passenger vehicles is also driven by infrastructure improvements and lower car prices," The Asian Banker said in a press release.
"More consumers are switching to cars from motorcycles, as deteriorating traffic congestion and air quality in Việt Nam's major cities make driving cars a preferred choice. Moreover, cars are considered as status symbols in the country."
The growth rate of auto lending was forecast to be around 35 per cent per year in 2017-18 to touch around VNĐ120 trillion (US$5.2 billion) by 2018.
Auto lending in Việt Nam totalled some VNĐ60 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of more than 40 per cent.
Việt Nam made up around 4 per cent of the gross auto lending in Southeast Asian emerging markets in 2016. The Asian Banker anticipated that Việt Nam's share would go up to 6 per cent in 2018.
Bank auto lending to individual consumers was expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of around 7 per cent in five Southeast Asian emerging markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Việt Nam.
Growth was expected to be sustained beyond 2018 due to factors such as favourable economic environments, increasing consumer purchasing power, relatively young populations with large and growing middle classes, low car ownership, and low auto finance penetration rates in the region, despite the rise of ridesharing services and competition from non-bank auto financing companies.
In 2018, bank auto lending within these markets is estimated to be worth around $93 billion in total, according to The Asian Banker. — VNS

Katrine Trolle, who is originally from Denmark but moved to Scotland in 1996, said she had ''flirted'' with Sheridan during the SSP's campaign for the Anniesland by-election.
He then invited her to his family home while his wife was at a Christmas party and they had sex, she told his perjury trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Sheridan and his wife Gail, both 46, are accused of lying under oath during his successful defamation action against the News of the World in 2006.
Sheridan denies lying to the courts during the trial, which followed the newspaper's claims that he was an adulterer who visited swingers' clubs.
The former Socialist MSP won £200,000 in damages after the newspaper printed the allegations about his private life.
The indictment against Sheridan contains the charge that he had lied about having sexual relations with Ms Trolle during the action at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.
But Ms Trolle, 36, told the trial that she had slept with Sheridan both at his marital home in Glasgow, and had had a threesome with Sheridan and his brother-in-law Andrew McFarlane.
She said Sheridan had initially been ''quite interested'' in Danish ''liberal values on pornography and sex''.
Ms Trolle said: ''While we were leafleting we had been flirting quite a bit and he asked me if I would come and see him.
''Obviously, I agreed and he came to pick me up a little bit away from where I was staying.
''I was staying with my then mother-in-law and it would have looked suspicious.
''He picked me up and we went to his house. I think I had a glass of wine and without much further ado we went up to the bedroom and had sex.''
Ms Trolle told the court that shortly afterwards, Gail Sheridan had called her husband and asked her to pick her up from a Christmas party.
She said: ''We quickly got dressed and he drove me home so he could pick up Gail.''
Ms Trolle said she next encountered Sheridan ''many months'' later, when he called her and asked her to come to Glasgow.
She said she got the bus from Aberdeen and he met her at the bus station, before taking her to his brother-in-law Andrew McFarlane's house in Cardonald.
She said: ''He hadn't actually said we were going to his brother-in-law's house. I was thinking I was going to see him.
''As we drove over to his brother-in-law's house, it slowly dawned on me that all three of us were going to have sexual intercourse.
''We arrived and Andy opened a bottle of wine so he and I could have a glass of wine. Tommy went upstairs and not long after I went up there as well.
''I was getting undressed, or Tommy was helping me to get undressed, when Andy appeared. We spent most of the night having sexual intercourse.''
They also met up for sex at Ms Trolle's flat in Aberdeen while her husband was out at university, and later when she moved to Dundee in 2002.
She said they had sex in Sheridan's City Chambers office after a St Andrew's Day march on November 24, 2001.
She said: "I met with Tommy Sheridan at George Square. I think it was after the march.
"We were talking a little - we made the excuse that I needed the toilet and said I could go to the City Chambers. We went to where Tommy had his office and we had sexual intercourse there."
Ms Trolle told the court that Sheridan had mentioned going to Cupid's club in Manchester "several times" before they decided to go.
She said that initially she had not wanted to go, but Sheridan had talked her into it.
She told advocate depute Alex Prentice QC: "We discussed it and he asked if I wanted to go.
"At first I said yes, but then I changed my mind and said no. He suggested it again later and we talked about it.
"Finally, I agreed I would go."
She told the court she selected a "very skimpy" dress to wear and bought a "hideous" and "cheap" handbag and some new black underwear for the occasion.
She said she travelled to Glasgow from Aberdeen and was taken by Sheridan to his friend Gary Clark's flat there. They were joined there by Anvar Khan and Andrew McFarlane, and Sheridan drove them all to Cupid's in Manchester.
She said she realised she had been an "absolute idiot" when she arrived at the club, saying it was "minging".
Ms Trolle said: "The club looked nothing like it had been described. I remember that I thought to myself that I was an absolute idiot.
"Tommy had described it as being a really lovely, fancy, nice place, and it wasn't.
"There was minging decor - old carpets, dingy lighting. It really wasn't anything that Tommy had described.
"We went to one of the little side rooms and had sex - all of us."
She also told how she was left "tongue tied" with embarrassment when Sheridan was recognised by another visitor who mistook her for his wife Gail.
She said: "There was a guy who recognised Tommy Sheridan. He looked at me and he said: 'You must be Gail.'
"I didn't know what to do when he said that. I got tongue tied. I looked away and pretended I hadn't heard him."
Finally, the group met two other couples at the club and left with them to go back to a flat in Manchester and "we all had sex with various partners", she said.
After a night that went on "for too long", Ms Trolle said Sheridan drove the group back to Scotland.
She said she went on to sleep with Sheridan on two further occasions in Dundee in 2004 before the News of the World article was published in November that year.
She was later cited as a witness in the 2006 libel action.
The witness said she initially wanted to "ignore" it, as it was sent to her married name and she had since divorced.
But she contacted Sheridan's lawyer and told him what she would tell the court.
Ms Trolle said: "I plucked up the courage. He was very friendly. I interrupted him and said: 'If you call me, this is what I am going to say.' I explained what had happened. He became very quiet."
She said she had been "terrified and embarrassed" when she gave evidence in Edinburgh four years ago, but insisted she had told the truth about her affair with Sheridan.
She told Mr Prentice she was just as embarrassed and frightened today, adding that she had not told any lies to the court.
The indictment against Gail Sheridan states that she lied about seeing Katrine Trolle at the Scottish Socialist Party conference in Perth in 2005.
She swore under oath that she had seen and spoken to Ms Trolle at the conference.
But Ms Trolle told the court she was "certain" she had not been there, saying she had been babysitting for a friend at the time.
The indictment against the Sheridans contains three charges in total, two of which are broken down into subsections.
It is alleged he made false statements as a witness in the defamation action of July 21 2006.
He also denies a charge of attempting to persuade a witness to commit perjury shortly before the 23-day trial got under way.
Gail Sheridan denies making false statements on July 31 2006, after being sworn in as a witness in the civil jury trial.
The trial, before Lord Bracadale, continues.

A Clackamas County sheriff's patrol sergeant who lives in Vancouver pleaded not guilty Tuesday to assaulting his 22-year-old stepson.
Steven P. Hyson, 46, was arraigned on charges of second-degree assault domestic violence for allegedly slamming his stepson's head into a wall during an argument May 1. Hyson also was charged with fourth-degree assault for allegedly shoving his wife, Lora Hyson, and third-degree malicious mischief for allegedly causing property damage at the family's home.
Trial was set for Aug. 8.
Authorities said Hyson's 22-year-old stepson, Austin Brown-Oliver, said the conflict arose when he questioned Hyson about why he wasn't intervening when Hyson's 12-year-old son was yelling at Hyson's wife.
This led to an argument between Hyson and his stepson on the front porch of the home. Hyson reportedly ripped the stepson's T-shirt and tried to provoke him to fight by saying "Go ahead and hit me" and "Are you a tough guy?" according to court documents.
Brown-Oliver told investigators that as he attempted to walk away, Hyson grabbed him by the head and shoulder and spun him into the side of the house, according to the probable cause affidavit signed by sheriff's Detective Todd Barsness.
Hyson's wife called 911, and Brown-Oliver was treated at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center for a broken cheek bone. Hyson turned himself in to Clark County sheriff's deputies May 3.
The president of a union representing Clackamas County sheriff's deputies, Hyson was placed on administrative leave, pending the outcome of the case.
Hyson posted bond and has been released from the Clark County Jail.

Unsupervised Topic Modeling Approaches to Decision Summarization in Spoken Meetings. (arXiv:1606.07829v1 [cs.CL])
Read Full Article
We present a token-level decision summarization framework that utilizes the latent topic structures of utterances to identify "summary-worthy" words. Concretely, a series of unsupervised topic models is explored and experimental results show that fine-grained topic models, which discover topics at the utterance-level rather than the document-level, can better identify the gist of the decision-making process.

RDO expands to new location, rents, sells earth-moving equipment
Large earth-moving equipment is needed to build western North Dakota cities and roads, and to extract the oil responsible for the growth of cities like Dickinson, Williston and Watford City.
RDO Equipment Co. has the ability to supply the John Deere and Vermeer machinery needed to build the Bakken.
The company has had a presence in Dickinson for nearly three years, but quickly outgrew its east Dickinson location near Interstate 94. It has found a lot on the city's north side along Highway 22. The RDO Truck Center has moved in to the east side of the building.
"I would say it's almost a better location for us," said Patrick Frohlich, Dickinson store manager. "There's probably a little bit easier access and the fact that the truck route's going to be here. We didn't really know that at the time, it wasn't decided yet. But that's definitely a plus for us."
The planned Dickinson bypass is set to connect I-94 and Highway 22 through 116th Avenue Southwest west of Dickinson and 33rd Street Southwest, which is now a gravel road that travels past RDO's new location, which opened in April.
"RDO's been servicing customers out here out of the Bismarck location for probably 20 years," Frohlich said. "But when the oil came, it was bigger, the demand was here. But even if the oil were to dry up tomorrow, we're still going to be here. We take care of a lot of counties and municipalities and local contractors."
The Dickinson RDO location does not sell ag equipment and only has one green John Deere machine, a tractor that bears the same numbers as a heavy-duty ag model, but has modifications to make it suitable for industrial purposes, Frohlich said.
The majority of RDO's customer base is sales, but about 10 percent of its business is rentals said Justin Schulz, sales manager.
Most of its customers are companies, which have the insurance policies required to operate heavy machinery, Frohlich said.
"Every once in a while we'll get someone, 'Hey, I was wondering if I could rent one of those for the afternoon?'" Frohlich said. "'Well, do you have a large insurance policy?'"
In addition to renting and selling new and used equipment, RDO performans maintenance and repairs on all the machines that come through its doors for the life of the equipment, Frohlich said.
In order to keep the rental equipment in top shape, RDO has four traveling preventative maintenance trucks that do oil changes and other small tasks, Frohlich said.
But its parts department has a bit of a quirk that the company was not planning for, Frohlich said.
"We have an all-ladies parts department," Frohlich said. "It just kind of turned out that way. We were obviously looking for people and a lot of the guys that are interested in that kind of work are out in the Oil Patch already. We found some people that were interested in customer service."
Like many area businesses, RDO is competing with oil field companies for workers. But it has a bit of an edge as it recruits from trade schools across the country, Frohlich said.
"We have so many locations so when we go to a school we can ask, 'What part of the country do you want to work in?'" Frohlich said.

DETROIT — Baby boomers pose a ``large and very important question mark`` for the auto industry, and automakers are scrambling to lure the market`s most fickle group of car buyers.
The youngest of those Americans born between 1945 and 1960 are now out shopping for their first cars. The group`s older members may be on their fourth or fifth models, but each vehicle may have been from a different company.

SCREEN time before bedtime might not be so bad for teenagers after all, Flinders University analysis concludes.
Video games, tablets and smartphones are commonly blamed for sleep problems in teenagers but Flinders University clinical psychologist Michael Gradisar said moderate technology use did not significantly interfere with a good night's sleep.
However, staying up all night playing them does cause problems — and screen time should be limited to about an hour before bed, he said.
Associate Professor Gradisar and colleagues analysed studies undertaken at Flinders and around the world since 2010, involving tens of thousands of teenagers to check for risk factors for sleep problems.
The overall findings show technology isn't as harmful for adolescent sleep as many health professionals — and parents — may think.
"A lot of people assume there's a direct link; so if teenagers use technology before bed their sleep will be affected which is why sleep experts advise to avoid media before bed but it's not that simple," he said.
"The research shows technology use in the bedroom doesn't have large effects on young people's sleep.
"One of my PhD students, Kate Bartel, analysed worldwide data from ten of thousands of teenagers looking for risk factors for sleep problems including alcohol, caffeine, bright lights and media, and when it comes to technology use the effects are much smaller than anticipated.
"Other experiments with video games show if you give an experienced video gamer a violent game to play before bed, their heart rate is not elevated and they sleep quite fine —
it's like they've habituated to using technology.
"All this evidence challenges the idea that sleep problems in young people are because of technology."
The sleep problems appear to arise if teenagers use devices into the early hours of the morning, disrupting the body's natural sleep/wake cycle.
"For the teenagers who come into the Child and Adolescent Sleep Clinic at Flinders, it's
far more common they have an underlying body clock mistiming and/or significant worries
that seem to bombard them at night," Prof Gradisar said.
"A small group of teens we deal with tend to miss school because they're playing video
games all night but that's their choice, it's not because they can't sleep.
"For the majority of the population, an hour of technology use before bed seems fine, but
anything longer than two hours appears to be detrimental to sleep."
Prof Gradisar will discuss the effects of technology on young people's sleep, including implications for policy and best practice techniques, at a seminar at 4pm at Flinders University on Tuesday.
Originally published as No, screen time doesn't hurt teens' sleep time

Toronto company opening U.S. plant because of rising Ont. electricity rates
Dec. 20, 2016 - A Toronto, Ont.-based manufacturer of fasteners says it is opening its new manufacturing facility in the United States because rising energy costs have made Ontario uncompetitive for investment.
Leland Industries employs about 220 people at its plants in Toronto and Waterloo, Ont., and founder and CEO Byron Nelson says those workers will be protected.
But Nelson says Leland's business is increasing and expanding and Ontario's high electricity costs make it hard for the company to compete on a global scale.
Nelson anticipates Ontario's new cap-and-trade system, which comes into effect in January, will cause electricity and natural gas costs to rise even higher.
Nelson says Leland will not invest in Ontario any more because "the costs are just out of sight."
And he says the company plans a major expansion in production capacity in Illinois.
"This is good news for our company, but bad news for Ontario," Nelson said Tuesday.
"We've prided ourselves that a Canadian manufacturer with the right people, processes, and technologies, can compete with anyone in the world," he said. "But, we can no longer compete with the escalating energy costs we are seeing here in Ontario."
Jocelyn Williams Bamford, vice president of Automatic Coating Limited and spokeswoman for the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers in Ontario, said Leland is one of many smaller and medium-sized Ontario-based manufacturers that are looking to grow and seriously considering investing outside of Ontario.
"Ontario's energy costs are rising so quickly many manufacturers are reassessing whether it makes sense to expand production in this province," she said Tuesday in a statement.
Bamford said manufacturers have become more competitive and have been able to reduce emissions at the same time because they have invested in new technologies.
"Higher energy costs leave us less money for investment. And, if manufacturers can't invest in Ontario, it's not good for the economy or for jobs in this province. Ultimately, it's not good for the environment either," she said.
Nelson said Ontario has already lost a lot of manufacturers and will lose more because those in government "just do not understand."
Ontario Economic Development and Growth Minister Brad Duguid said in an email that the government recognizes that it has more work to do, "especially when it comes to controlling the costs related to upgrading our energy infrastructure."
Duguid also noted that the government will be lowering electricity costs for small and medium sized businesses by eight per cent starting January 1, but Bamford said that "won't come close to offsetting the energy and transportation cost increases that lie in store for smaller manufacturers across Ontario."
News from © Canadian Press Enterprises Inc. 2016
+2 #1 2017-01-04 16:26
Our factory electricity costs are only 10% electricity usage. We have reduced our usage by 20% over 3 years but our electricity bill has increased by 200%. I keep hearing our Liberal government use phrases like "we know we have to do more" but what are they actually doing? Answer_lining the coffers until the election year then they'll throw us a bone to make it look like they did something to help. I agree with Leland...invest outside Ontario. This government has ruined our infrastructure to the point a change of government can't undo it, only stop it from getting worse.

[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Homepage loads slow with NextGen plugin
Since upgrading to 2.7WP and 1.0.2 NextGen Gallery, I notice my homepages takes up to 5-8 seconds extra to load. On the homepage I use the slideshow widget.
If I switch off the NextGen plugin it is very fast loading – as expected. I did not have this problem before with the NextGen Gallery plugin in previous releases.
Something has definitely changed which is adding load time onto my pages in WP. Not a good visiting experience for my site users are waiting this long for the homepage to load.
Can you tell me if previous versions of NextGen will work with 2.7 WP? If so, I might have to revert back to those until this speed problem is fixed. Please help me fix what the problem is
Many thx.

Hi, I'd like to introduce myself. I found this site while searching around and thought I might as well give it a shot. About 4 months ago I was in an accident with petrol exploding and leaving me with 2nd and 3rd degree burns over my legs, stomach, arms and back. Only my face came out unscathed. I've just turned 20 and already it feels like life has reached it's peak. After 6 surgeries and a few...
Over 20 yrs ago I was severely burnt in a tanning bed. My entire face and chest bubbled up with blisters all over, and my skin has never recovered from that damage. Then almost immediately, acne started. I have ultra sensitive Italian skin. The burn blisters are much smaller now and have been for years, but r still there and still visible. I cant use a base make up or powder because of it. Any...

So I love the sensation of being electricuted or burned. I have quite a few burns on my body from it. for me its just a thrill.
Most of you are probably not familiar with rituals involving being burnt.I was born and raised in a cult that gathered in the middle of an isolated area where burning ones flesh was considered a sacrifice which happened too be a ritual for many occasions.

About sixty seconds before Fuchsia Dunlop walks into the restaurant, it occurs to me that inviting someone who has just spent years researching Shanghainese food to eat the same cuisine in New York is a bit cruel. How many plates of xiaolongbao—the steamed buns filled with meat and a hit of hot broth that have become ubiquitous in New York—must this poor woman have been death-marched through by too-cute journalists?
But before I can start calling around for the nearest pintxos place, Dunlop is walking into Joe's Shanghai in Manhattan's Chinatown. Shortly thereafter, a waiter thuds down a bamboo steamer full of the restaurant's signature soup dumplings.
Dunlop made her name writing about Sichuanese food, the fiery cuisine of China's southwest. In the early 1990s, she fell hard for the complex flavors of the region: the numbing heat of the Sichuan peppercorn, the interplay of sweet and sour, the fresh ingredients spiked with pickled vegetables. Eventually, she became the first foreigner to study full-time at the Sichuan Institute of Higher Cuisine.
After more than a decade of focusing relentlessly on this food, however, Dunlop felt herself growing tired. "I got really fed up with China and I was thinking of giving it all up," she tells me.
Pausing, Dunlop rattles off a few menu items to our server in fluent Mandarin, selecting dishes typical of the Jiangnan—or "south of the river"—region, which includes Shanghai as well as other culinary centers less well known in the West, including the provincial capital, Hangzhou. The title of her new book, Land of Fish and Rice, is a reference to this area, which reinvigorated Dunlop's interest in Chinese gastronomical traditions. "I found my muse again in Hangzhou," she says. "In China, the serious gourmet types regard the food of this region as being sort of elevated," she says. "A friend of mine in North China who's a very excellent food writer, he said to me a while ago, you can't really consider yourself a serious gourmet if you go on insisting that Sichuanese is the best cuisine," she says with a laugh.

It's no big secret that the country-gone-pop princess, Taylor Swift is quite possibly the biggest superstar on the planet. And for good reason too! In the past ten years, Taylor has taken the world by storm! Her last four albums, all falling into the country genre, Taylor Swift (2006), Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), and Red (2012) are some of the most successful albums not only in the history of country music, but in the history of music in general. Taylor's latest album, 1989 (2014) is no exception. Being Taylor's first all out pop album, the "New Romantics" singer has since dominated the world of pop music as well.
The world sees her as the multi-millionaire singer/songwriter who sells out stadiums and breaks world records. However, we Swifties know Taylor to be capable of much more than just music. Not only does Miss Swift have raw talent for songwriting, an exceptionally beautiful voice, and some wicked dance moves at award shows, she's also quite the little actress! While Taylor hasn't had ten years of experience on the big screen, throughout her career in music, she has taken on several small roles in movies and TV shows alike. Not unexpectedly, T-Swizzle has blown fans away with her simple skills as an actress, leaving them only wanting more of Taylor Swift on on the cast & crew list!
As a result of Taylor's confirmed break from music for a while, fans are confident that Taylor's time will be more abundant, and maybe that will lead to more roles in the near future. Rumors have already surfaced that Taylor has been approached for roles in an upcoming big name blockbuster and a wildly popular TV show!
Look suspicious? Mariska Hargitay wants Taylor Swift to guest-star on Law & Order: SVU
Taylor has always been very open about her obsession with Law & Order. She even expressed her love to the show by naming one of her cats after the fan-favorite character, Olivia Benson! If that's not commitment, what is?
After befriending the star of the show, Taylor has since welcomed Mariska Hargitay onstage during her 1989 World Tour and invited her to appear in her Grammy-winning music video for "Bad Blood". So, it makes sense that Mariska would want to return the love by getting Taylor on the set of one her favorite shows!
Mariska first revealed the idea to Entertainment Tonight, saying, "We talked about it. We're going to wait until the end of Swift's 1989 Tour to see how it goes. But it's in the air."
That was all said back in 2015, so when we get an answer, the world may never know. But wouldn't that be beyond awesome? Fingers crossed it works out!
John Green is a HUGE Taylor Swift fan and he wants her to appear in his upcoming book-turned-movie, Looking for Alaska
John Green, author of the New York Times best-sellers, The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns has a new movie coming out and, like so many others, he has his heart set on Taylor! Casting for his new movie, Looking for Alaska has just started and John has openly and nobly teased (aka, requested) that Taylor should play not one, but two characters in the movie from the book.
"She'd be a great Takumi," John Green told Access Hollywood when asked who he'd like to see Taylor portray in the movie, "She'd be great as The Colonel," he added, "It could be one of those movies where Taylor Swift plays every character, just in a different outfit...like Austin Powers. Starring Taylor Swift, AND Taylor Swift!"
Unfortunately, John has also admitted that while he loves Taylor, he has no power over who gets cast in his films. However, he's made his plea to the Looking for Alaska casting department on Taylor's behalf, and Swifties are definitely backing him up! Hey, anything can happen, especially sense Taylor is known to be a super fan of John Green's books as well!
Taylor has made it clear via Twitter that, "John Green is my favorite writer and Cara Delevingne, Halston Sage, and Nat Wolff are some of my favorite people. Can't WAIT to see Paper Towns!"
Clearly the admiration between Taylor and John is mutual, and Swifties are all reading Looking for Alaska, thinking, "If this was a movie, Taylor would be here by now..." (pun intended). So, again I ask, when will we get a definite answer?
With music moved to the back burner for a while, fans would love to see Taylor appear in more acting roles, and Taylor usually loves to make her fans happy. At this point, we don't even care what you movie she shows up in! The question is, will the world's biggest pop star tackle the challenge?

Disabled mother stopped sex attack by tackling pervert with her WHEELCHAIR
A DISABLED mother has received a bravery award after she stopped a sexual attack on a drunk woman by tackling a pervert with her wheelchair.
Wheelchair-bound mother Kirsteen Johnson became hero for sex attack intervention
Hero Kirsteen Johnson, 45, was coming home from bingo when she heard "muffled noises" across the street from her home.
She approached a path off Station Road, Spondon, Derby, and was alarmed to see a man with his trousers down and his hand over a woman's mouth.
She said she asked the woman - who appeared to be drunk - if she consented to what was happening.
When she said no, Ms Johnson, who uses a wheelchair due to nerve damage, dragged the man off her before he fled into the night.
Ms Johnson, who works for ASDA and an arts therapy group, said: "He was exposed and her trousers were down.
"She was undressed and I said 'get off her!' He said it was none of my business.
Kirsteen Johnson with her award from the High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Elizabeth Fothergill
"I said to her 'do you want this? Is this what you want?' She said no, so I yanked him off her.
I don't know how I found the strength
"I don't know how I found the strength. Then he ran off over the bridge."
Ms Johnson, mum to Amy, Megan, Hayley and Emma, then comforted the victim and called the police when she got home.
She added: "I tried to get her calm and she was telling me her daughter was in care and she wasn't coping well.
"They were both well inebriated and she started becoming abusive towards me, so I left her.
Kirsteen put her electric wheelchair on full speed to intervene in a sexual assault
"But of course as soon as I got in I called 999. I just wanted to get my clothes off as I was aware the police may want them for evidence so I put them in a bin bag."
Ms Johnson said she still suffers from flash-backs to the ordeal which happened last October.
She added: "I wasn't myself for a good six months because it brought back bad memories. I was shouting at people and I didn't know what to do.
The disabled hero by the lane where the attack took place
"Derby is where I consider home, I can't imagine living anywhere else. Is it community spirit? I suppose it is."
But thanks to her brave actions, the pervert was caught and jailed for seven years.
Last Friday Ms Johnson was presented with an award for her bravery by the High Sheriff of Derbyshire, Elizabeth Fothergill.

Safety shock absorbers produced by ACE are installed in the top linear system models of one of the most prestigious companies in the field of drive and control technology. Their job: to protect the z-axis from damage caused by uncontrolled movements. Various safety dampers are used for different load ranges. Tests have shown that, in the worst case, a collision speed of up to 5 m/s might occur. To be on the safe side, the interpretations were based in all cases on a slightly higher value.

TUBUS bumpers give tele-wheel loaders strong stability. With their function of limiting swinging movement, they secure machines when cornering and loading and provide a high degree of comfort and safety as well as securing the loaders. A further advantage is that the shovel can be loaded up to its full capacity for better performance when levelling and pushing. Small cost, large force absorption: The TUBUS bumper TC design series employed here convinces with its energy absorption in the range of 3,983 in-lbs up to 112,626 in-lbs, whereby the machine elements with diameters of between 2.52 inch and 6.93 inch are very easily integrated into construction designs.

Safe driving in end positions with ACE
The aim was to protect a driving simulation capsule on two of its eight axes. The demands placed on a potential emergency stopper were high because it was clear that its failure would lead to massive damage to the complete construction as well as to the capsule. Even the possibility of damage to the health of the test personnel could not be ruled out and was taken into consideration in a diverse range of mass-speed combinations. Two ACE safety shock absorbers now safely contain destructive forces, e.g. during power outages, and eliminate high risks.

Controlled emergency stop
ACE safety shock absorbers protect precision assembly jigs for the aircraft industry. The basic mount of this coordinate measuring machine for the production of parts in the aircraft industry is made of granite and must not be damaged. To avoid damage from operating errors or mishandling, all movement axes were equipped with safety shock absorbers of the type SCS45-50. If the turntables malfunction the safety shock absorbers decelerate the loads before expensive damage can occur to the granite measuring tables.

Rocks can be so decorative in the garden, but it is not always so easy to arrange the plants and rocks together. But this picture shows how beautiful a hopeless rock area can be! I think it is so beautiful!
There is actually no area in the garden that we need to count as bad or hopeless…we only need to think in new ways and get our minds to be a little creative! Every spot in the garden can be transformed in one way or another! I think that the most beautiful and creative gardens are those who have had some problem areas that the gardener has found a way to go around. That is the beauty of gardening – to be creative with the all the beautiful creation we have to work with!
