Dirty filters may clog an air conditioner and obstruct air circulation, causing the compressor to compensate by overheating. We discuss this and other factors that can cause an AC to malfunction and cost you a lot of money on repairs or replacement. In this article, we have compiled a comprehensive air conditioner troubleshooting guide that will help you take preemptive measures to prevent or mitigate damage to your AC.
We have featured the most common problems associated with an air conditioner as well as their possible causes and solutions. They include leaking water, thermostat failure and excessive heat and noise. We have covered problems ranging from simple glitches to serious damages that may need replacement of the affected component or the whole unit. By using these air conditioner troubleshooting tips, you can detect potential issues with your AC unit and determine whether to fix them yourself or seek professional help from a certified HVAC contractor.
This is every home owner's nightmare during summer and the issue could range from simply forgetting to switch on the unit to electrical overload which could cause a fire or a faulty motor that will need to be replaced.
There are several reasons that cause your AC unit not to turn on. The most common root of this is a blown fuse or a circuit breaker that has tripped from power surge to protect your air conditioner from damage. Clogged condenser lines or a full drain pan may also trigger a shut-off safety switch. Other culprits include a malfunctioned thermostat or motor, frozen evaporator coils, or wiring issues.
Test the fuse with a multimeter. If it beeps, it is working properly. If it is a circuit breaker, you can easily reset it on the panel. For a thermostat, confirm that it is in cooling mode, receiving power to cycle on the unit and the set temperature is lower than your room temperature. We explain how to solve the other issues that make your unit fail in the AC problems and solutions featured in the rest of this guide.
If your AC unit is running without cooling your home, the most common cause would be blockage that restricts airflow.
Check whether the fan is running and the thermostat can properly regulate temperature to avoid inconsistencies. A faulty thermometer will need to be recalibrated or replaced. Next, inspect the filters, coils and compressor for buildup of dirt, debris and ice which hinders effective air circulation. The other reason could be a low refrigerant caused by leakage or from being charged incorrectly. If this is the case, your air conditioner will not be able to absorb latent heat and reduce humidity.
Clean or replace your filters at least every 3 months and use a fan to melt any sheets of ice on the coils. Refill the refrigerant if the levels are low and check for leakage which may need a professional to fix it. Confirm that the outdoor condenser is okay and clean it, if need be.
When trouble shooting AC problems, one of the common cases contractors come across is the issue of excessive heat. Did you know that your unit could be working well but overwhelmed by cooling a space that is larger than its designated coverage? For effective cooling, an air conditioner should have an output of 20 BTUs per square foot and 600 BTUs for every occupant.
High ceilings, exposure to sunlight and other heating appliances increase the BTU requirement by 10 percent.
An AC unit that is cooling an area larger than its recommended coverage might make you feel warm instead. Majority of these cooling units maintain an estimated temperature difference of 20 degrees between indoors and outdoors. So, expect reasonably higher temperature in hot seasons. You will also notice increased heat and humidity if the condenser coils are blocked because they won't expel the heat absorbed from your room. Other things that may cause too much heat are poor insulation, a leaking ductwork that makes cool air escape, cooking or using heat-generating devices in the room, sunlight exposure, and a faulty outdoor condenser.
To maximize the cooling capacity of your AC, get an appropriately-sized unit for your home. Close blinds to limit sun exposure, insulate your windows, check condenser coils for obstruction, fix leaks in your HVAC system, and avoid appliances that add extra heat when the AC is running to prevent it from being overworked. You could also dissipate heat with additional fans. Mount window air conditioners on a closed window that is well insulated to isolate outdoor heat.
If your thermostat cannot read temperature accurately, then you cannot program it to cool your home when necessary. Before trouble shooting AC thermostat problems, you will have noticed temperatures higher or lower than your target temperature. Other indications of a defective thermostat are constant short cycles, and the air conditioner either not turning on or running non-stop when it does.
Your thermostat will not work if it is not receiving power or in case of a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Other reasons that cause temperature discrepancies by affecting a thermostat's ability to read and transfer signals are loose wiring, incorrect installation, buildup of dust and smoke, or a stuck or poorly calibrated anticipator.
Ensure the thermostat is powered and at a lower setting than the current ambient temperature. Level the thermostat if it has come loose, check the wiring and clean any grime from inner components. If these home air conditioners troubleshooting advice doesn't work, then you may have to consult an experienced HVAC professional to check it out.
If your air conditioner is leaking, the likely reason is poor drainage. Warm air drawn from your house is cooled as it passes the evaporator coils. This forms condensate that is then drained into a pan or drain line. The leak may also be from water overflow from melting ice, so avoid running your AC in extremely low temperature.
Clogged drain lines and rusting or cracked drain pans are often responsible for water leak. Drains can develop mold or accumulate dirt and grime which obstruct water flow. A faulty pump may also cause a leak since it can't expel water outside. When trouble shooting AC problems that cause indoor water leakage, check for ice buildup in the evaporator coils because it may be melting and draining into the pan, causing overflow.
Confirm that the condensate drain line is connected. Eliminate buildup of algae and fungi from a drain line by pouring vinegar. To unclog it, use a wet or dry vacuum. Clean or change filters and refill low refrigerant to optimize airflow and prevent ice buildup on coils. Turn off the unit for up to 24 hours to allow for defrosting. Check for leaks and either repair or replace the affected component.
Split models, such as the top-rated Klimaire KSIV012-H119-S consist of 2 parts, and the problem might be in the outdoor unit. In outdoor leaks, water forms under the outdoor compressor and not in your house.
The indoor leak AC problem and most of the solutions we provided above also apply to outdoor leaks. Both are caused by dirty filters, clogged drains and ice buildup on the coils although outdoor water leakage may also result from incorrect installation, cold outside temperature, or a loose AC seal that lets in warm air.
Your AC unit expels the extracted moisture outside through your drain system, so a blocked or broken system would cause flooding. Use the solutions we provided for indoor leaks to fix this. Install the AC away from fences and structures that reduce effective airflow and increase the formation of condensate. Inspect the outside compressor of a ductless air conditioner for leaves, dirt and debris that could cause clogging.
Regular maintenance of filters, coils and air ducts is advisable to remove any blockage that will limit airflow.
Home air conditioners troubleshooting experts mainly attribute poor circulation of air to accumulation of ice and grime on the evaporator coils which limits the refrigerant's ability to absorb heat for dispersion. Obstruction in return air vent, low refrigerant and dirty filters are also cited as common causes.
Avoid installing the AC unit underneath decks or near plants and objects that could hinder intake and release of air. Ideally, you should leave a minimum allowance of one foot around the air conditioner. Otherwise, the compressor will run hot as it compensates for the reduced capacity. The heightened temperature will also affect the compressor's lubricating oil and substantially reduce its lifespan from the standard 15 years.
To diagnose poor airflow, use an accurate thermometer to measure the inlet temperature and then the ambient temperature from approximately 20 feet away. The two temperatures should have the same value if your AC is working correctly. A higher intake temperature indicates faulty airflow.
In case of a window AC, even the most quality and time-proven ones like the Frigidaire Window-Mounted Median Air Conditioner won't cool a room properly if it's too sunny outside and there is warm air leaking in. This is why you should mount your AC in rooms with proper insulation to avoid fluctuations in temperature.
Let's now talk about noisy AC problems and their solutions which vary according to the type of noise.
Banging and rattling sounds signify issues with mechanical components such as the compressor or the fan. A loud buzz indicates electrical problems caused by a defective contactor and capacitor, the two components that power the compressor and fan respectively. Loose components may vibrate, although loose fan parts like blades produce a whirring sound. A leaking refrigerant generates a hissing sound; squeaks are from faulty motor bearings; and whistling sound results from dirty filters and leaking ductwork.
Check for debris that could be clogging or bumping inner components. Next, inspect the motor bearings, compressor, fans and other inner components to ensure they are properly installed or connected. You can consult your AC's manual for the steps involved. Otherwise, persistent strange noise should be checked out by a professional.
Usual sounds that don't require home air conditioners troubleshooting are gurgling and bubbling ones made by the refrigerant as it cycles between coils, humming motors, and clicks and clunks at the end of a cycle. You may also have one of the AC units that produce a high-pitched sound at startup.
The U.S. Department of Energy Trusted Source Air Conditioning - Energy.gov Three-quarters of all homes in the United States have air conditioners. Air conditioners use about 6% of all the electricity produced in the United States, at an annual cost of about $29 billion to homeowners. As a result, roughly 117 million metric tons of carbon dioxide are released into the air each year. www.energy.gov estimates that 75 percent of all homes own an air conditioner. This translates to approximately 29 billion dollars annually in total cost of energy bills. Defective units increase the cost through expensive repairs and replacement. By following our home air conditioners troubleshooting guide, you can anticipate most of the issues and act accordingly. We have provided useful tips on preventative maintenance, minor DIY repairs and major problems that might need professional consultation.

UN Opposes Relocation of Rohingya Refugees to Remote Island
ASIA-UPDATES ON MYANMAR ROHINGYA GENOCIDE, 4 Jan 2021
Elishya Perera | Commonwealth Business Network - TRANSCEND Media Service
8 Dec 2020 – The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says it opposes the relocation of Rohingya refugees from Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, to a remote island in the Bay of Bengal, which is vulnerable to cyclones and prone to flooding.
According to UNHCR spokesman Babar Baloch, the United Nations has limited information on the overall relocation process and is not involved in the operation whatsoever.
Bangladeshi authorities moved more than 1,500 Rohingya refugees to Bhasan Char, on Friday (Dec 04), as part of the government's plan to move 100,000 refugees to the uninhabited Bay of Bengal island.
The UN is has called on the government to respect its commitment that the movements to the island would be voluntary, and urged that the refugees be provided with the information they would require to make a free and informed decision about relocating to Bhasan Char.
"We have heard reports from the camps that some refugees may feel pressured into relocating to Bhasan Char or may have changed their initial views about relocation and no longer wish to move. If so, they should be allowed to remain in the camps," Baloch said.
Moreover, the United Nations has also requested the government to permit onsite visits in order to verify that the island is a safe and sustainable place to live. Baloch says the refugees must be protected from natural disasters and other dangers, and must have access to health, livelihood and education.
According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), more than 723,000 refugees fled prosecution and violence in Myanmar for Cox's Bazar where they are living in overcrowded camps.
Over the past three years, Bangladeshi authorities have been building a new town in the island of Bhasan Char, at a cost of $350m (£270m), with the aim of relocating more than 100,000 refugees in order to ease tensions within the camps.
Earlier this year, Amnesty International released a report on the conditions faced by the Rohingya already living on the island, which sparked outrage. The report contained allegations of limited food and healthcare facilities, cramped and unhygienic living conditions, as well as cases of sexual harassment by both the Navy and local labourers engaging in extortion.
However, Bangladeshi authorities have denied these claims.

The accessible proof demonstrates that with regards to explicit episode examination and with unpractised examinees untrained in countermeasures, polygraph tests as right now utilized have an incentive in recognizing honest from misleading people. In any case, they are a long way from immaculate in that specific circumstance, and vital unanswered inquiries stay about polygraph precision in other vital settings. No elective strategies are accessible that perform better, however some show guarantee as long as possible. The restricted proof on screening polygraphs recommends that their exactness in field use is probably going to be fairly lower than that of explicit episode polygraphs.
A polygraph test is one method for adding nitty gritty knowledge to a private examination case. Polygraph tests can be requested by a courtroom, however are undeniably more commonly directed to a ready member, who claims blamelessness concerning a specific issue. Untruth recognition is a specific part of the expert investigator business. Polygraph tests are just a single technique for identifying conceivable falsehoods, yet these tests are unquestionably not idiot proof.
This article clarifies the utilizations for polygraph examinations and gives some broad direction on controlling the test for best outcomes.
At the point when used to its maximum capacity, DNA proof will help unravel and may even anticipate a portion of the Nation's most genuine brutal violations. Be that as it may, the present government and state DNA gathering and investigation framework needs improvement:
(Legitimate Uses for a Polygraph Exam Polygraphs are utilized for a wide scope of purposes inside the legitimate framework, amid relational connections and in business applications. Be that as it may, each locale takes an alternate view on their lawful acceptability. The most ordinarily referred to purposes behind directing a polygraph test include:
To screen sex wrongdoers To screen medicate clients and heavy drinkers To discover somebody lying in a lawful issue.
To screen sentenced hoodlums for rehash offenses after discharge from jail As a major aspect of a full historical verification, most normally utilized for pre-business examinations for touchy employment positions
To get criminals in misfortune aversion programs, worker burglary examinations or embezzlement examinations
To question a speculated con artist amid an unfaithfulness examination
To ask about a separation or other history amid a pre-marriage examination
To ask about posterity care in a youngster care examination
Polygraph Test Advisory
What comprises reality and what establishes an untruth are distinctive to each person. Utilizing mental and substantial moulding, an individual can lie over and again, notwithstanding when snared to a huge number of the most astounding tech gadgets, without being gotten. In like manner, an individual who is coming clean may freeze amid a test or have an abrupt flashback of an agonizing or delicate memory that is started by a test question making them apparently answer misleadingly.
On the off chance that you are thinking about employing a polygraph analyst to make extra proof for your case, make a point to pursue a couple of straightforward standards: Continuously enlist the best private agencies, with broad involvement with testing and ideally a foundation in brain science.
The more intricate the test is, and the arrangement of affirmations in advance, the less the subject can effectively focus on beating the exactness of the test. So, hiring the right private detective agency will ensure to provide genuine polygraphed or lie detection test results.

The major sectors that have supported Guyana's economy over the years have recorded both positive and negative growth during 2016 with rice production up and sugar production on a declining slope.
There is expected to be an increase in rice production but a decline in sugar production as Guyana is yet again to revise its projected economic growth for 2017 downward.
Finance Minister Winston Jordan made the disclosure as he unveiled the Government's 2018 fiscal plan in the National Assembly on Monday.
Mr. Jordan had revised the projected growth rate from 3.2% to $3.1% in his mid-year report. However, with continued weak performance in mining, quarrying, sugar and other sectors, the Minister announced that the growth rate for 2017 has been further revised downward.
The economy is now expected to record a 2.9% growth for 2017.
Jordan said rice production has increased due to more cultivation but the situation was the opposition for sugar which recorded decline in production. The decline in sugar production could be as a result of the government's move to close and merge estates amid efforts to diversify the economy.
The Finance Minister said the Livestock sector is expected to grow by 4.4% while fisheries will record a 1% growth, although less than the growth recorded in 2016. The mining and quarrying sector will contract by 1.9 percent but gold declaration will remain stable, Jordan told a mostly attentive National Assembly.
He said other mining sectors like bauxite is expected to decline.
Looking at the performance of other economies and similar sectors in the region, Jordan said Guyana must continue to work to remain vigilant and build its resilience against external shocks.
He said International rice and timber prices expected to grow in 2018 with Gold expected to record a decline by end of 2017 and into 2018.

We're passionate about Earth Science Data and helping to solve the challenges in that field. At this year's ESIP Summer Meeting, we have four E84 team members speaking and moderating across multiple sessions.
Here's where you can find us if you want to chat!
STAC and Sentinel-2 Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFFs
- When? July 14 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST
- Who? Matthew Hanson (Moderator)
- What? Panel
SpatioTemporal Asset Catalogs (STAC) is an emerging community standard that aims to improve geospatial interoperability via standardized search and discovery. A brief overview of STAC will be provided along with how STAC can be used to enable powerful scalable workflows that keep track of data provenance. Additionally, Element 84 worked on creating a new AWS Public Dataset for Sentinel-2 surface reflectance data available in Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF format. Attendees will be shown how to use open-source tools to discover Sentinel-2 data for any location and date range and how chunks of data data can be efficiently read and fetched for the resulting scenes.
Cloud-Optimized Data
- When? July 14 @ 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM EST
- Who? Patrick Quinn, Trevor Skaggs
- What? Panel
This session will seek to summarize our current understanding of best practices for creating, using and cataloging cloud-optimized data. Speakers are sought to address any part of this research space, including metadata handling, chunking, compression, filtering, sparse datasets, tooling, libraries, workflows, and cloud experiences with formats like Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG), Parquet, Zarr, TileDB, NetCDF4 and HDF5.
Public-Private Partnerships in the Age of the COVID-19 Global Pandemic – Part 2
- When? July 16 @ 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM
- Who? Dan Pilone
- What? Panel
COVID-19 has turned our worlds upside down, impacting our lives, our businesses and the economy in significant ways. Emergency response has had to adapt rapidly to an unseen and deadly virus. Decisions are being driven, mostly by data and that data needs to be trusted. This session will focus on identifying how the disaster response community trusts data. The All Hazards Consortium and ESIP have come up with Operational Readiness Levels (ORL) for trusted data and this is being embraced by private and public sector organizations and agencies.
We will focus our meeting on how public-private partnerships accelerate decision making and how the identification of trusted data, and the sharing of that data, leads to rapid data-driven decision making across multiple sectors. This can save lives. We are building on the ESIP winter meeting theme of "Putting Data to Work" and our session mapping data ORLs to FEMA Community Lifelines. In this session we will continue to encourage data producers, providers and users to work with us in the Disaster Lifecyle Cluster so we can refine our definitions of trusted data and ORLs.
Part 1 invites presentations on COVID-19 trusted data access and sharing from people who can discuss the challenges and goals for data sharing.
Part 2 explores challenges in providing trusted data and technology throughout the COVID-19 response teams from decision makers to community engagement.
Organizational Strategies, Standards, and Policies for Machine Learning – Charting the Next Step of ESIP Machine Learning Cluster
- When? July 21 @ 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST
- Who? Dan Pilone
- What? Panel
Since 2010s, the Earth science community has seen rapid growth in the interests and practice of adopting machine learning in research and discovery. The fast accumulating Earth science data and mature cloud technology have accelerated the growth of machine learning applications in Earth sciences in both academia and government agencies as well as industries.
Until recently, there is still a lack of systematic strategies and community-driven standards to steward and coordinate machine learning applications for Earth sciences. Recently, NOAA Research Council released its strategy for artificial intelligence outlining its vision to "dramatically expand the application of artificial intelligence in every NOAA mission area by improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and coordination of AI development and usage across the agency." Similarly, other government agencies and private sectors have also formulated their own vision and practice for adopting ML/AI to advance their missions and put data to work.
In this session, we invite representatives from various government agencies and organizations to share their perspectives on adopting machine learning for Earth sciences (ML4ES). The session will have a set of brief presentations from speakers to outline the current landscape of ML4ES and followed by a panel discussion on how the ESIP community can contribute to and shape this landscape.
This stand-alone session will also serve to inform a follow on session, which is a conversation about possible Cluster activities and outputs.

Editorial comment: The editors agonized about whether or not to proceed with publication of the 2nd letter presented in this feedback article, given its outspoken honesty and with Ephesians 5:12 in mind ("For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret."). On balance, however, we thought that it made an important point in as tasteful a way as possible given the nature of the subject, which is becoming more and more important as society becomes more evolutionized. |
'Natural' or 'unnatural' human behaviour?
Many evolutionists consider much of today's human behaviour 'unnatural'—except when it comes to homosexual 'marriage'
The first of two letters in this feedback article is from Joel T., Australia, who wrote:
First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this email, as well as for the many articles you provide for free.
Next, I want to know what you think of something that's been swirling around in my head for a while now:
- From the naturalistic point of view, matter is all there is, and man is no more than an animal. Therefore, there is no distinction between man and 'other' animals.
- 'Natural' things, according to the same people, are contrasted with man-made ('unnatural'?) things. That is, there is a distinction between natural and man-made, for example, a bird's nest is natural, while wooden furniture is not.
Am I the only one who sees a contradiction here? The way I see it, the naturalists only have two options: either give up on the distinction between natural and man-made altogether, or admit that mankind is special, somehow different to nature.
That is to say, they either have to say that everything, from atom bombs to zithers, is natural and completely go against what is obviously true, or they have to say that man is not merely an animal, which would mean violating their worldview.
So, which is more likely? Giving up on the obvious truth, or on their worldview? In my opinion, I think that neither is likely, and that the contradiction will remain.
What do you think?
Joel T. (Australia)
CMI's Dr David Catchpoole responds:
Hi Joel,
I like your logic—I came to a similar conclusion in my first year of being full-time with CMI. However my colleagues rightly pointed out to me that it's not a very effective argument to use against evolutionists. That's because, when it comes to humans, they mentally often redefine anything that humans do as being 'unnatural', justifying this on the basis that our intellectual prowess goes way beyond 'mere evolutionary instinct'. So I reluctantly had to let that kind of argument slip from my armory.
But thanks anyway for thinking of us, and letting us know about your thoughts. Much appreciated.
David Catchpoole
Note also our caption to the zoo photograph above. Ironically, the second letter is about a particular aspect (warning: graphic references to sexual behaviour) of some humans' behaviour that an increasingly vocal minority in the West take umbrage at being described as unnatural. This very cleverly-worded item protesting about homosexual 'marriage' was copied to CMI by Philip B. (Australia), who'd sent it to the Sunday Telegraph (Sydney) in hopes of it being published in its Letters to the Editor section. (To our knowledge, the Telegraph's editors seem to have decided against publishing it, as it has yet to appear in any of the pages of that newspaper.)
Some Neglected Realities
Every human being on this earth is the result of a male sperm uniting with a female egg to produce that baby human, which grew inside a woman's body.
Surprise! Male and female humans have special equipment to facilitate this process. Males have a sophisticated sperm deposit system, females have an also sophisticated receptor/fetus-to-baby nurture system. This is normal.
How did this come to be? No human invented it. It must have been an intelligent Creator's purpose to populate the earth with humans.
Perhaps you are put off by that word 'intelligent'? An English Professor of Mathematics points out that if you were walking along a beach and saw your full name written in the sand you would rightly conclude that it had been written by some intelligent person. Then he points out that your genetic code, which fully describes your body, is made up of billions of chemical letters, not just a few. We have known about this super-complicated code for more than 60 years now. How did it come to be? No human invented it. We discovered it, but it must have been there from the beginning. Its Creator must be super-intelligent, and super-powerful as well.
Is it possible that this super-intelligent, super-powerful Creator, who also created the human brain and human psyche, does not care what we choose to do with our bodies? Does this Creator not care if we call abnormal behavior normal? For example, if a man inserts his sperm depositor into another man's garbage disposal tube, does the Creator not care? Surprise! The greatest authority the world has ever known tells us that the Creator does have an opinion about this. The Creator thinks it is an abomination, human opinion and human passion notwithstanding.
So here we are. Many of our prominent citizens in politics, entertainment, academia, the media etc think that homosexual marriage ought to be considered normal, on an equal footing with heterosexual marriage. But are not they, together with their corresponding overseas authorities, flying in the face of the Creator? Who is foolish enough to do this and think that such a decision would not bring much harm to our nation? The evidence of history indicates that it would.

Public Schooling in America: Measuring Each State's Commitment to Democratically Governed Schools
America's public schools, students, and families are under a near-constant attack from political special interests looking to privatize and profit at the expense of our children. Each state represents new profit streams and frontiers for education exploitation, and the Network for Public Education (NPE) has released its findings in its latest report Public Schooling in America: Measuring Each States Commitment to Democratically Governed Schools.
Researchers examined laws and regulations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to measure how well policymakers protect public funds from exploitative privatization through low-quality virtual and brick-and-mortar charter schools, environments without fully-vetted staff, and profit-centered systems. Most troubling were findings that expose how state laws allow charter and voucher schools to leave students behind, discriminating against the most vulnerable.
To read the report view the full list of grades for each state and see how yours stands on protecting students and communities from the exploitation of privatization, click the image below.
Findings include:
- Eighty-one percent of states with voucher laws allow schools to discriminate in entrance requirements based on religion. Under the guise of religious freedom, 74 percent allow discrimination based on student and/or parent LGBTQ status.
- Nearly half (15) of all states with one or more voucher programs do not require background checks for the teachers of voucher-funded students.
- Thirty-three states either do not require that charter school students be taught by certified and licensed teachers or allow so many exceptions that any existing regulations are meaningless.
- Thirty-seven states and D.C. allow for-profit corporations to run non-profit charter schools, including via "sweeps" contracts that allow tax dollars and control to be funneled to the for-profit that runs the day-to-day operation of the school. In five states (Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, and Ohio), for-profits run over 30% of the charter schools in the state.
- Forty-one states allow schools to contract with businesses owned by charter school board members, and in 19 states those related party transactions are not required to be disclosed.
The report notes that "the first step in stopping the privatization movement is to understand it." Public Schooling in America: Measuring Each States Commitment to Democratically Governed Schools is a must-read for those of us working to promote and protect our public schools from the ever increasing threat of privatization.

Dancing, whether done en pointe, in slippers, ghillies or sneakers is a beautiful and athletic art form. Participating in Dance allows one to develop great strength not only physically but mentally, emotionally and socially. However, like any sport its participants are subject to potential injuries. A dancer's body and the demands placed on it is very unique in comparison to other athletes. Which is why the injuries suffered by a dancer differ greatly from other athletes. It is therefore important to be assessed and treated by a health professional who understands the demands placed on dancers in order to allow for a more specialized treatment and recovery.
Jamie Conrick is a registered Physiotherapy resident at the Holland Landing Heath Centre with a special interest in dance-related injury management and prevention. With 20+ years of competitive dance experience along with the knowledge and skills gained through formal physiotherapy training, Jamie is able to provide a more specialized assessment and treatment for your dancers.
For many ballet dancers starting en pointe is a major milestone in their dancing journey, however it requires a great deal of strength, flexibility and control. For this reason, it is important to undergoe a pre-pointe assessment to determine en pointe readiness. A pre-pointe assessment involves a thorough examination of the dancer's foot control, pointe range, turn-out, pelvic stability and core control allowing the physiotherapist to determine the dancer's readiness to start en pointe. A formal report will be made outlining what was found and the next appropriate steps.
If you are interested in physiotherapy services please contact Holland Landing Health Centre at 905-853-7900 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Mairead Jacobs Dougherty

Dinorwic Quarry
Dinorwic Quarry was once the second largest slate quarry in the world, next to its neighbouring Penrhyn, which today holds the world's fastest zipline, Velocity at Zipworld.
It is located between Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales and covers more than 700 acres of land, dominating the scenery with equally incredible views of Snowdon and Crib Goch mountains.
There are two main sections to the quarry consisting of 40 stepped galleries in total, all of which were joined by a vast internal tramway system.
Today the area is strewn with the remnants of its industrial past and makes for a truly fascinating and educational day out.
The first attempts to mine here started in 1787 and at its peak, Dinorwic slate quarry employed over 3000 men. A huge surge in demand for slate roofing tiles in the late 19th century meant tiles were exported all over the UK, Europe and even Northern America. Production stopped here in 1969, as a result of less demand for traditional building materials and the growing difficulty to extract any more slate from the already sheer rock galleries.
Today, the quarry has a new lease of life, featuring many attractions and activities. It is partly owned by Caernarfonshire County Council who lease it to the National Museum and now permanently houses the National Slate Museum which is situated in the old Victorian workshops.
The museum tells the story of the extensive history of Welsh slate, with workshops designed as if the quarrymen have just left to go home for the night. Talks and demonstrations of the old tools shows insight into how the slate would have been split and worked with. It offers a real interactive insight into the lives of local quarrymen, the disputes, craftsmanship and community.
Electric Mountain
Part of the disused Dinorwic Quarry is now home to the well known hydroelectric power station 'Electric Mountain', construction began in 1974 and was largely welcomed by the community, offering further employment to the area. It opened the gates in 1984 and is regarded as one of the most imaginative engineering and environmental projects of its time.
The project aimed to preserve the natural beauty of Snowdonia National Park by creating hidden tunnels deep within a mountain. Dinorwig power station plays a vital role in supplying Britain with power and mainly operates to help meet peak loads in electricity but also acts as a short term operating reserve which provides a fast response to rapid changes in power demand or the sudden loss of power stations.
Dinorwic Quarry Underground
The station consists of 16km of underground tunnels located within the beautiful mountain Elidir Fawr, where 12 million tonnes of stone was removed from inside the already well mined cavern. The site was carefully chosen because Elidir Fawr has a reservoir, Llyn Marchlyn Mawr near the top and Llyn Peris located at the bottom, making it ideal for a pumped storage system. Its construction took ten years to complete and required 1 million tonnes of concrete, 200,000 tonnes of cement and 4,500 tonnes of steel. Today, tours can be taken to explore the caverns and machine rooms further and offer an insight into how hydroelectricity and storage of this energy works.
The scars of the industrial past bare a long, rich history and culture here in North Wales. The deep blue-grey slate sits high among the mountains, looking out towards the Snowdon horseshoe and beyond. A true testament to the resilience of the community and a beautiful display of slate as a traditional building material.

Our hand-made slate tile 'Henslate' is faithfully reproduced from reclaimed slate originals, bringing a timeless weathered and worn appearance to any home.

"Should I have an implant or a bridge?" That is a typical question that many people have regarding tooth replacements. Although missing or extracted teeth might increase the risk of infection, finding a high-quality replacement choice is essential for a radiant, healthy smile.
Dental Implants: How They Work
Dental implants are another choice for lost tooth replacement. They serve as an alternative for many patients, and dentists frequently favor them over bridges or dentures. Dental implants may be your best option if you have periodontal disease, an injury, or another cause for a missing tooth or teeth.
The implant procedure will need oral surgery for you. Your dentist will typically perform this procedure while you are sedated.
The dentist will delicately screw the base onto your jawbone after drilling a small hole in it during surgery. Your gum is then placed over the dental implant so that it can heal.
A connector to the top of your dental implant after the implant base has healed in the second appointment. The dentist will next use a small screw and special dental cement to secure the crown on top of this connector.
Advantages Of Dental Implants
- Dental implants function most like natural teeth because of their strength and endurance.
- Implants can stop jawbone loss and make sure your bite is secure because they replace the tooth\'s root.
- The best choice for regaining your natural smile is dental implants.
- Dental implants can last a lifetime if properly maintained.
- Implants are the ideal solution when the teeth next to a lost tooth have extensive decay or are fragile.
Bridges versus dental implants – Which One Suits You Best?
Implants are by far the most lasting alternative to dentures or dental bridges. Dental implants are connected to your jawbone. This ensures their functionality and that they will endure as long as a healthy and natural tooth. Although dental bridges can also appear quite natural, implants have the most original appearance and feel. Nobody else will even be aware that you\'ve had an implant placed.
Dental implants are superior to bridges in terms of hygiene. The implant won\'t harm the neighboring teeth, so cavities and recurring decay are much less likely as a result. Yes, you\'ll still need to clean thoroughly, but the risks are much reduced.
The fact that implants are more expensive upfront is another major worry. A dental bridge\'s cost is always partially covered by a typical dental insurance plan. Bridges are an accessible and sensible option for many people. However, compared to a dental bridge, this implant is significantly less likely to need to be replaced.
After a bridge, is an implant possible?
Yes, it is the answer. A bridge could deteriorate and collapse over time. It might not appear to be as alluring as you had imagined. To enhance the appearance of your mouth, you might want to move from a bridge to a dental implant.
How Durable Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant might offer lifetime protection since it is sturdy than a bridge. The titanium metal cylinder of the implant is sturdy and resistant to decay and gum disease.
Final words
There is no right or wrong choice when choosing teeth replacements. It depends on your circumstances, such as how many teeth you have lost, your preferences, your financial situation, and your schedule.

Clay shale land drains, Red Burn, East Lothian
Article by Ian Suddaby.
The Red Burn in East Lothian is barely moving just now (22/04/2020) but it's been tearing chunks out of the adjacent field in the past. Field drain pipes are being washed out and lie scattered in the bed.
These are interesting as they seem to be made from grey mined clay-shale, basically brick mixture. This is very rare in field drains, which are normally made from the subsurface drift deposits of clay and are orange once fired. I have seen this before, in the Fife coalfields many years ago.
In other ways, they're just like ordinary drains, extruded, oval profile with flat bases, 15″ long. Two sizes were seen, a large one 4¾" x 3¾" internal diameter and a smaller one 3¼" x 2¾" internal diameter. I thought the smaller ones might fit inside the larger but they don't, kiln space wasn't an issue clearly.
I wonder if an unknown local tileworks bought or was given clay-shale from one of the many nearby collieries? If so, it's a wonder these aren't seen more often.
Below – A drain and collars of a similar composition to the one above. Found by Ian Suddaby in the Crossgates, Fife area.

A trio of Boston United fans tested their logic and general knowledge skills when they appeared on BBC quiz show, Only Connect.
The team, aptly called Pilgrims, appeared on the first episode of the new series of the popular show presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell which aired on BBC 2 on Monday, September 21.
The contestants were Rick Tooley, an insurance broker who wore a T-shirt which honours the logical quiz, Pam Tooley a chartered accountant and team captain Pat Everitt, an information security manager and were separated by screens for social distancing.
In the introductions, Victoria Coren Mitchell said the three were all fans of Boston United Football Club.
Speaking of each member, she said: "Rick Tooley who has invented an avian version of Dungeons and Dragons named Budgies and Buzzards; Pam Tooley who was once licked in the face by a wolf, and Pat Everitt who once sat next to Grayson Perry on a flight from Beijing."
In the series, teams compete to find connections between seemingly unrelated clues over four rounds.
It was a good start for Pilgrims, having secured three points on the opening game and by the end of the second connection round, were winning 9-7 to the other team, the Corkscrews.
However, it seemed Pilgrims lost their flow by the Connecting Wall round, often viewed by fans as the hardest section of the quiz, only securing five additional points while Corkscrews won a full 10 points.
The last game, where teams have to make connections with words which have vowels missing, is a buzzer round.
After a close contest, Pilgrims lost the game 19-22, meaning Corkscrews are through to the next heat.
However, all is not lost as the Pilgrims will get a second chance to progress to the next heat later on in the series.
The episode is available to watch now on BBC iplayer.

If you are in a hurry and just want to find out what best 5 weight fly reel is, then we recommend the Redington BEHEMOTH Fly Reel as the best one.
If you are into trout fishing, then having the best 5 weight fly reel could be as important. It not only gives you the capability to throw varied sizes of nymphs, dry flies, and streamers but also the strength to fish larger trout.
However, with the many 5 weight fly reels in the marketplace, finding the best fly reel for your fishing needs can be a bit tricky. If you are looking to acquire the right 5 weight fly reel, we could help.
In the article, we reviewed different 5 weight fly reels to help you narrow down to the one that suits your fishing needs. Moreover, we talked about the various features to help you make an informed purchase.
In this article we are going to review the following best 5 weight fly reel:
- Redington BEHEMOTH Fly Reel
- Piscifun Sword Fly Fishing Reel
- Waterworks-Lamson Liquid Fly Reel
- Orvis Battenkill Disc Drag Fly Fishing Reel
- Redington ZERO Fly Reel
What is the best way to use a 5 weight fly reel?
If your major fishing tours are targeting trout and you want a one-reel for all your fishing, then a 5 weight fly reel could be your best pick. With your 5 weight fly reel, you will have the ability to drift nymphs and strip in streamers through runs in streams and rivers as well as drop dry flies and wait for fish.
Moreover, a good 5 weight will provide you with enough strength to angle different trout sizes – even the larger ones without a hassle.
Things to Look for When Choosing a 5 Weight Fly Reel
When buying 5 weight fly reels for your fishing tours, there are some things you need to keep in mind so that you can walk home with the best product. Without a doubt, you will want a fly reel that is strong and sturdy enough to keep a top-notch performance in different conditions.
Getting a reel with a large arbor for quick and efficient reeling in large trout can be fulfilling. More importantly, a strong yet smooth dray system will enable you to wear your catch out faster for successful netting. Let's see some of the factors you must check out before committing your money!
Drag System
A Fly reel will feature either one of the drag systems; click and pawl or disc drag. Between the two systems, the click and pawl is not as strong as compared to the disc drag. Moreover, it is much cheaper.
The disc drag is perhaps the best in the fly reel industry. Ideally, if you are into fishing larger fish, buying a fly reel with a disc drag can be the best decision you can make.
Be sure to factor in the sound of the line zipping off the drag when buying your ideal 5 weight fly reel. Most anglers find the sound produced by the line satisfying and unparalleled. A click and pawl drag systems generate this sound, although it makes no difference in how you catch your fish. Regardless, the sound can be exceptionally soothing.
The material from which the fly reel is built determines the strength, durability, and overall performance. Most reels constructions are from milled or machined aluminum, which is arguably the best material you can find in a fly reel.
Fly reels made from these materials are stronger and long lasting even under the most dedicated fishing tours season after season.
Although cast aluminum, cast steel, plastic, and composite are the other materials that deliver better performance in reels, they can't beat machined aluminum in durability. As a result, these materials are comparatively cheaper!
How long will you be on your fishing trips? The length of your fishing days will determine the kind of weight you will want in a fly reel. If you are going for longer, then you need a lightweight fly reel. Frequent casting a rod with a heavy reel can quickly lead to casting fatigues. Certainly, this is not what you want when you are mid-way your fishing expedition.
However, give more attention to how well the reel balances on your rod! You can be well off with a little heavier fly reel, but well-balanced.
Arbor Size
The size of the arbor determines how fast you will retrieve the line. Obviously, the larger the arbor, the fast you will draw your line. If you intend to catch more fish, then buying a larger size is important.
But if you are going to play with the fish just for fun, then the size of the arbor shouldn't bother you. Regardless, having a larger arbor is recommendable even though it is not necessary.
When it comes to price, you will get what you pay for. If you need a simple reel model to hold the line, retrieve the fish, have a relatively good drag, and doesn't break on you, you might have to spend about $100. A 5 weight reel with these kinds of features will cost you less than $100, which is better.
However, the best thing to do is budget for your reel and stick to it. You will find a 5 weight fly reel that is within your budget range.
5 Best 5 Weight Fly Reel
Redington BEHEMOTH Fly Reel
If you are looking for a heavier and a large capacity reel for throwing 12 wt. line with a larger buss, then this is it. BEHEMOTH comes with a powerful drag system cranked down just as instructed in the guide. The un-machined die-cast construction blends with a long lasting, interlocking, and large-arbor spool to make the entire fly reel outstanding.
The carbon fiber is a superior heavy-duty material that delivers drag strength, better performance, and reliability. It comes with a handle that has a soft rubber and ergonomic grip that is responsive, especially when pulling bigger fish.
To attain a wider range of drag the oversized aluminum drag knob offers your better control, especially when it comes to pulling your catch. So, if you are looking for a fly reel that fits a heavy line, the Redington is the best choice.
- Extra weight for easy casting
- Powerful yet smooth drag
- Ergonomic rubber handle
- Poor finish
- The drag knob is poorly designed
Piscifun Sword Fly Fishing Reel
Piscifun Sword is a well-machined fly fishing reel, especially at its price point. Although it might not be hard anodized or lacks a cork disc drag, the finish it has makes it durable enough. Moreover, the drag system feels smooth right out of the box.
The reel features an adjustable drag dial that is, however, loosely threaded such that the spins easily and quickly runs from light to heavy. However, the large knob allows you to crank down the drag while the large spool makes cranking even easy, especially when controlling a larger fish.
The fly reel features high purity aluminum alloy construction that features a well-polished finish to make the fly reel stronger than die-cast reels of the same level. Moreover, the aluminum alloy is designed for greater-impact durability while the fly reel is relatively light as compared to the common ones due to the hollow CNC design.
With this reel, you will have a quick-line pickup due to reduced memory courtesy of the mid-arbor design. If you are looking to angle fast-moving fish or for occasional angling, this fly reel will do a decent job.
- High-quality fly reel
- Lightweight but solid
- Smooth drag
- Loose drag adjustment
- Lacks positive indexing clicks
Waterworks-Lamson Liquid Fly Reel
Waterworks-Lamson is a fly reel that comes at a high price point that most can beat. However, considering the quality of this reel, you are guaranteed many years of heavy use without experiencing any issues.
It comes with a large arbor that features a pressure-cast aluminum frame, which ensures the reel is durable. Made in the U.S.A by Water-Works, the fly reel comes with outstanding quality and design.
It comes with the best drag by far when compared to the other reel on this review. The smooth drag system makes this reel perfect for fishing in both sand and cold water. Moreover, if you are fishing a light tipper, this smooth drag comes in handy. Besides, the smooth drag system helps in preventing breaking off fish.
The reel comes with a lightweight design, solid construction, and a strong feeling. You will have a great fishing experience since there is no slop, wiggle, or run out on the reel. Although it is a little excess capacity for even a bass taper 7wt, it comes with a high retrieve rate. So, you don't have to wind it as much.
- A high-quality fly reel
- Awesome smooth drag
- Quality design for durability
- High price point
Orvis Battenkill Disc Drag Fly Fishing Reel
The Battenkill Disc Drag is a five weight fly fishing reel designed and made by Orvis. The 5 weight fly reel is powerful and technologically advanced as compared to other Battenkill reels generation. The disc drag comes with excellent looks and outstanding performance needed for a powerful reel drag.
It features the traditional finish and porting of the Battenkills while incorporating a mid-arbor design, which is currently best-selling. Moreover, beneath the mid-arbor is the Hydros SL sealed drag system.
It features an incorporated six carbon and stainless drag surface that is well-interacted. With the simple and easy to adjust positive click, you can be sure of a smooth drag in every fishing expedition you engage in.
With all aircraft construction material, the reel is lightweight yet strong enough to deliver a fast retrieve rate without a hassle. The ergonomic handle allows for effective handling of the fly reel during fishing.
- Lightweight and an exceptional quality reel
- Smooth drag system
- Great performer for heavy fishing
- Difficult to adjust the brake while fighting a fish
Redington ZERO Fly Reel
Redington ZERO is one of the most lightweight performances that come with the most affordable price point in its class. It features a die-cast construction, which makes it incredibly lightweight that no machined reels can beat.
It features a new-design clicker drag system that is adjustable and stylish to compliment the reel's looks. The default tension is better at holding the line in even when dragging is occurring.
The reel comes in an uncomplicated design, which makes it reliable, easy to handle, and maintain. Its skeletonized design is not only neat but looks pretty cool with a fun colored backing. Even with its affordable price point, the ZERO reel is spectacular!
- Great minimalist reel
- Compact and lightweight
- Simple and reliable performance
- Easily adjustable drag
- Not durable as it dents easily
Finding the best 5 weight fly reel is not akin to entering the market and coming out with it. It requires significant considerations and compromises, especially when on a budget. Hopefully, by reading this review to this point, you now have a bearing on how to narrow down to the right 5 weight fly reel for your needs.
Any 5 weight fly reel you pick from this review will serve you in the best way possible. However, the clear winner today is Redington BEHEMOTH Fly Reel. It is because it comes with extra weight for easy casting, smooth drag, larger arbor, and relatively priced, thus within many people's reach.

Donald Trump gave his state of the union address on Tuesday evening, spurred on by the prospect of unsuccessful attempts by his opponents to impeach him.
He attacked socialism, lied about economic growth and boasted about his assaults on migrants. Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage was in the audience to hear him as a special guest.
Trump claimed that the US economy was "the best it has ever been" despite figures showing a stagnation in wage growth and continued attacks on workers' rights.
Trump's real achievement is, as he said, that "US stock markets have soared 70 percent".
The tax cuts introduced early in Trump's administration has seen massive handouts for bosses. Meanwhile many American households are poorer today than before the 2007 economic crisis.
The audience gave a standing ovation to Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido who was in attendance.
The US recognises Guaido as the "interim president" of Venezuela – despite his failed coup attempt in May last year.
Trump praised Guaido, claiming that socialism was a "threat to every nation" and that only "freedom unifies the soul."
He went on to present the presidential medal of freedom to far right talk show host Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh has repeatedly used his media platforms to spread racist and homophobic ideas.
His song "Barack the Magic Negro" claimed that president Barack Obama "makes guilty whites feel good" and that Obama is "black, but not authentically".
Limbaugh described a woman who wanted her university to alter its health insurance to cover contraception as a "slut" and "prostitute".
During his virulent attack on socialism, Trump called attempts to introduce Medicare for all a "socialist takeover".
Trump himself has not put forward a healthcare plan, instead allowing big pharma to continue to profit from people's illnesses.
The address also served as a chance to show off Trump's attacks on migrants. He said that he had secured the US-Mexico border and built over 100 miles of border wall.
Trump has achieved his anti-migrant aims by separating thousands of migrant families at the US-Mexico border and ramping up raids on migrant workplaces and homes.
In January last year, he introduced his Remain in Mexico program which allows border guards to return non-Mexican refugees to dangerous locations in Mexico while their cases are still being decided.
As of November last year, over 56,000 refugees had been "returned".
Trump stacked the "radical left" for seeking to "provide unlimited free healthcare" for immigrants. Democrat speaker Nancy Pelosi, who stood behind Trump, was quick to disassociate the Democrats from this position by declaring "not true."
If Trump wins a second term than the attacks are bound to get worse. The state of the union showed that he is happy to put profit ahead of workers and minorities.
Efforts to remove Trump from office by manoeuvres in Congress have failed. Now ordinary people in the US need to mount a mass movement against him.
But don't rely on the law to win
Action can stop asset strippers
Israeli blockade hits most vulnerable
Stop arms sales to Israel

The Netherlands also has a festival similar to Mardi Gras. The origin of the word Carnaval is carnem levare which means "to take away meat" in Latin, or carne vale, Latin for "farewell to meat". It marks the beginning of Lent leading up to Easter.
The carnival in the Netherlands is mainly held in the southern part of the Netherlands in the provinces of Noord-Brabant and Limburg, some parts of Zeeland and in eastern parts of Twenteand Gelderland. As with many popular festivals, people tend to loosen some moral codes and become laid-back or loose, which is based in the ancient role-reversal origins of Carnaval, including dressing in costumes.

Developing in Code Layers¶
Layered development refers to any development carried out within the customization layer, the layer above "Base" and "Core". All Development Concepts, Modeling, Coding Mechanisms and Framework Services are the same for all layers. Any differences are in the set up of the development, the naming of the files and the possibilities of using advanced overtakes.
Read about Layered Application Architecture in Architectural Overview.
Read about the development process in Quick Guide.
For Layered Development you need to configure the correct project to be used in the Developer Studio; this is dependent on what type of project it is, see Project Setup and Configuration. The used layers will be reflected in the Layers.ini file, see Coding Layers.
Any development in the customization layer does not differ significantly from development within the "Core" layer. The primary difference is that you need to consider the approach and how you might change any methods taken from the underlying layers, e.g. when can I do an override, when do I need to do an overtake, how should I do the override or overtake.
New files¶
For new entities, enumerations and utilities the development is exactly the same as for the "Core" layer.
Changed files¶
For files that exist in an underlying layer the development is almost the same as in the "Core" layer. New attributes, methods and views are added in the same way as for the "Core" layer. Changes of methods are slightly different from the "Core" layer development. The difference is that you can have an additional way of carrying out the overtake, by using Overtake using Search and Replace. For advice on how to do override and normal overtake, please read Override and Overtake.
Overtake and override are carried out on a preceding layer. If the code to overtake does not exist in the nearest preceding layer, then the overtake must be done from the layer below the preceding layer where the code exists.
Source Code Files¶
The source code files are named differently depending on in which layer they reside, for more information on this then please refer to Source Code Files.
In the customization layer you always get the set of files with either -Ext or -Cust name included. Only the changes you do in your layer will be stored in your layer file. It is then the code generation that glues all the layers into one deployable file.

"And did they put up a fight?" the Dread Emperor asked.
Around the vast ill-lit throne room, flatterers, sycophants, and the rest of the nobility tensed. After another long day – it was forbidden to eat or drink in the Emperor's presence, or to leave it – they were hoping there would be no bloodshed tonight, no risk of it getting out of hand again.
The Conqueror of Earth cleared his throat. "At first they would not admit the superiority of Your Imperial Majesty's Space Navy. There was much slaughter. But the remnants offered their throats to the claw."
The Emperor savoured this. "Describe my new planet."
"Barsoom is an arid world, though home to numerous and varied races. They are a warlike folk…"
"Earth." The Emperor leaned forward. Survivors say it is a terrible thing to be fixed by those eyes. "You said you conquered Earth."
"I, I beg Your Imperial Majesty's patience," said the Admiral. "Some natives call it Barsoom, others Earth. It was one of the things they fought over."
Others had sweated where the Admiral now stood.
"The inhabitants of ah, Barsoom are divided by their colour. There are Reds and Greens for example. Some have four arms, some two. The females lay eggs…"
At each day's end, the Dread Emperor summoned the military to tell him about the latest addition to his Empire. He had decreed it would expand by one planet every day, without end.
Terrifyingly for those who waited upon the Emperor, the discovery of new worlds to vanquish lagged far behind schedule. Instead, desperate Space Admirals announced the conquest of barren moons, or primordial worlds like peaches bruised by mould, and were executed while the Emperor ate a light supper.
By tradition, no two executions were alike, the Blood Guard being famed for its invention.
And then Earth was discovered. There was no great slaughter. The Conqueror of Earth never even left the home world. A lone scout venturing far beyond the edge of Empire had harvested Earth's rudimentary datanet in a flyby and it had proved a treasure trove.
The military learned its lesson, and inhabited worlds were now conquered daily without fail. The court held its breath as Admirals answered the Dread Emperor's enquiries into the culture, history, and sexual habits of wholly invented planets.
The Conqueror of Earth was back in the dressing room hanging up his costume. A Five Claw Space Admiral with Radium Cluster. All paste. The door banged open.
"What were you thinking?" shouted the director. "Barsoom was scheduled for tomorrow. I'll have to move Dune forward."
True, the actor had forgotten some lines, even so, it was the performance of a lifetime.
"You know we're running out?" If the director had hair instead of scales, it would have torn it in frustration.
"You said there was a feast of tales."
"Turns out most novels consist of Earthlings having a chat. Outer Space is hardly mentioned; even then we can't mention rival empires. They're mainly obsessed with terrible things happening to Earth. What's wrong with them?"
"But we've still got Mongo? I've been rehearsing Mongo."
"And Mote Prime and Perelandra and Skaro, but they don't seem to be writing them like they used to. All this later stuff…"
"Dear chap, you have the resources of the Space Navy at your disposal. If the Earthers won't write what you want, perhaps we should start knocking them out ourselves. Try world-building instead of world-conquering."
It was rather pleased with that.
"I mean, how hard can it be?"

Some Photo Ideas To Make Your Vacation Rental Listing Stand Out | Ferienwohnung Ferienhaus Fotos - Tipps
- Screenshot of your actual Wi-Fi speed (e.g. from speedtest.net).
- Take a photo of your Floor Plan (helps people understand what they're renting and what the space looks like – e.g. show people where the bedrooms are in relation to the living room).
- Photos of you. Inject a little personality so people can connect with you (e.g. a photo of you and your girlfriend or wife doing something that relates to the property). Be professional as people are going to judge that photo and they are going to be like-minded. So whoever you're trying to attract should resonate with that photo.
- Photo of your professionally put together Guidebook and/or pretty looking Welcome Basket. Put it in the buying decision when people are flipping through your listing versus your competitor's listing. It might be the tipping point as your potential vacation rental guests can see that you're a host who really cares.
- Certificate (show people that you're trained and provide higher quality).

It is heartening to see a positive growth in full LLAIA memberships with some particularly noteworthy increases in some age groups and categories.
Overall year to date we have seen around a 10% increase in full memberships compared to the same period last year with important and key increases in junior memberships for example from just 5 junior members last year to 17 this year. Junior memberships of course are important since our junior members represent the future generation of anglers and members and one that we as an association are very keen to target.
It is recognised that last year's abnormal restrictions on travel and fishing will have had an impact on membership applications and renewals however in the case of new membership applications themselves then it is a very positive indication with some 58 new members joining to date already this year.
It is likely that a combination of efforts concerning limited advertising , social media presence and the acquisition of additional fishings on the Endrick together with the effects of Covid restrictions on work and travel are some of the reasons for the increased interest and membership applications.
I am sure that you would wish to join un in taking the opportunity to welcome all new members and anglers to their association and I am sure that you will join me in wishing them tight lines.
Regarding all other permit types the sales performance of those will not be known until the conclusion of the fishing season and reported by our retail partners.

A lady known as the agency asking for our assistance. She told us that she had left her husband, young children and the household home due to his constant philandering. She was fairly distraught by the situation. She didn't want to leave the kids but she could not afford to take them with her ahead of she divorced her husband. He was not violent but he was really abusive and shouted at her a lot. The couple had been separated for around four months and in that time our client had located out that he had moved one more woman in.
Our client was really worried about her case due to the fact she was the one that left. Her solicitor had reassured her that she would get the young children and he would need to pay maintenance to her and the kids once the divorce had gone by way of. Our client had heard other stories that contradicted the solicitor's story. We had a discussion with her and suggested that it could be a great concept to put covert cameras outside the residence so we could monitor the movements of the other woman to see if she was living in the loved ones property.
We left the cameras outside the home for 2 weeks. We had plenty of evidence that the other woman was living there. She parked her auto on the drive and utilised a key to obtain in. She was there on her own for some of the time. Our client took this evidence to her solicitor who told her she had sufficient to prove adultery. Our client then got herself moved back into the family residence using the youngsters and her husband began to pay upkeep. It turned out that her husband had only been seeing this one woman and he wanted to live with her.
