Mr Norm McIlfatrick
Department of Economic Development
GPO Box 646
Hobart TAS 7001
Mr Robert McMahon
Chairman of TAP Inc.
22 – 8 - 2006
Dear Mr McIlfatrick
Re: request for funding [$143 000] from TAP Inc. to the Department of Economic Development for a community based independent assessment and risk analysis of the Gunns proposed pulpmill at Long Reach.
Tasmanians Against the Pulpmill Inc. [TAP] is a community based, non-politically aligned group of residents from throughout Tasmania who share a common concern over the scale of impacts of the proposed Gunns pulp mill on livelihood, amenity, life- supporting capacity of our environment and of the needs of future generations.
Aims of the assessment and analysis
The State Government is relying heavily on the RPDC process to make careful reasoned judgements on the pulp mill proposal and on any necessary conditions that need to be imposed. An independent assessment and analysis coordinated by TAP Inc. aims to facilitate the ability of the community to usefully contribute critical analysis of claims made by the proponent in the IIS.
The independent assessment and analysis coordinated by TAP Inc. will collate and review data on the scale, impacts and risks arising from the proposed pulp mill from the perspective of sustainable development in Tasmania. We need to access independent expert information in areas such as eco toxicology, hydrology, air pollution, monitoring, modelling etc and make findings available to the public in digestible form.
A key issue is the impact of the scale of the proposed pulp mill on our natural resource industry, agriculture, small business and rural communities. We believe that the scale of the proposed pulp mill may detract value rather than add value.
We aim to identify key limits that should be placed on the pulp mill operation including the scale of the project eg:
- the maximum area of farmland in Tasmania that should be given over to plantations for wood supply;
- the maximum concentration of poisons used that may impact on other users in eg. forests and waterways, farms;
- the maximum level of air pollution;
- the maximum pollution of the marine environment;
- the impact on the value of water arising from plantation evapo-transpiration and direct consumption by the mill particularly given the changing long term rainfall patterns in relevant catchments.
The study will also:
- identify Tasmania's at-risk communities and industries eg vineyards, fisheries, and tourism;
- include a risk assessment with identification and quantification of risks as well as the probability and scale of the hazards, and mitigation strategies;
- identify areas of uncertainty including assumptions made in models and how they relate to validity of claims made by the proponent;
- establish criteria for regular and event monitoring and evaluation of pulp mill impacts;
- identify regulatory mechanisms that should apply when limits are exceeded and associated penalties and compensation arrangements for aggrieved parties.
The findings will be presented in a Risk Management Report focussing on the sustainability of the Tasmanian environment, our communities and business that depend on a clean green image for continued profitability. Communities and businesses will then have an independent assessment of their exposure to various risks arising from the mill. They will be better able to contribute a realistic critique to the RPDC hearings as it relates to their individual circumstances.
Justification for this request
There is a heavy bias in publicly available information in favour of the proposal from the proponent, government Pulp Mill Task Force and industry lobby groups. Gunns have run closed meetings with selected guests to promote the findings of their IIS. In addition we as taxpayers have twice paid for the government to support the proposal viz. by providing a budget to the Pulpmill Task Force and through favourable taxation treatment for Gunns (as for all businesses), by being able to write off costs as a business expense.
To date, the government has not provided any assistance to support community responses to the Gunns draft integrated assessment report. The expectation is that members of the community who wish to provide a response to the IIS will do so at their expense and without the benefit of independent data.
This request seeks to redress that inequality by funding an independent assessment to inform the community of risks, encourage public involvement in resource management and planning and assist the RPDC to fulfill its obligations under the State Policies and Resource Planning and Development Commission Projects Act 1993. It will promote rigorous debate and significantly improve the quality of government decisions that will affect Tasmania's future for decades to come.
State Government policies and objectives relevant to this request
Our request is consistent with the State Government policies and objectives listed below.
1. The Mission Statement of Department of Economic Development is to advance the sustainable development of Tasmania by increasing the capacity of individuals, enterprises and communities to contribute to the Tasmanian economy.
2. The Tasmania Development and Resources was established under the provisions of the Tasmanian Development Act 1983 to encourage and promote the balanced economic development of Tasmania.
3. The Environmental Industries Council aims to reposition the environment to become an essential contributor to the future of all Tasmanians by among other things strengthening Tasmania's clean, green and clever image.
4. The objectives of the legislative framework of RPDC are:
- to promote the sustainable development of natural and physical resources and the maintenance of ecological processes and genetic diversity; and
- to provide for the fair, orderly and sustainable use and development of air, land and water; and
- to encourage public involvement in resource management and planning; and
- to facilitate economic development in accordance with the objectives set out in the above paragraphs; and
- to promote the sharing of responsibility for resource management and planning between the different spheres of government, the community and industry in the State.
The RPDC objectives relate in particular to:
- sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations; and
- safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil and ecosystems; and
- avoiding, remedying or mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment
5. This request assists the RPDC to meet the requirements of Schedule 1 of the State Policies and Projects Act 1993.
6. State policies on agricultural land and water quality management set out to achieve sustainable management of resources in accordance with the objectives of Tasmania's RMPS.
Budget and deliverables
Membership of TAP Inc. includes professional accountants and project officers who have regularly handled budgets well in excess of this amount. A sum of $143 000 will be used to procure the services of independent consultants, for data collation and information presentations to the public and RPDC. Project deliverables are a Risk Management Report, public information documents viz. brochure and CDs for public use summarising the report and public seminars in major centres.
Closing date for a response
Given the very short time frame and immense importance of the task ahead, we respectfully wish to receive notification regarding the success of our submission by the close of business on 30 – 8 - 2006.
We are looking forward to your considered response.
Yours sincerely
Mr Robert McMahon
On behalf of TAP Inc. membership

New schools partnership could combat loss of £1million government funding
PUBLISHED: 09:54 20 September 2017
This content is subject to copyright.
Plans were approved by cabinet members on Tuesday night
Plans to plug a £1million gap in funding could see the council take on a new role with the borough's maintained schools and academies, after initial plans were accepted on Tuesday night.
The council is set to provide a £550,000 sum to combat the loss of the Education Services Grant, a government sum handed to local authorities to carry out statutory duties such as teacher background checks on staff.
Moving forward, the council hopes to lead a new partnership scheme with all of the borough's schools, including academies, which run outside of the council's control and provide 72 per cent of schools in the borough.
Plans to set up the partnership, which schools would have to pay into to join, were approved by cabinet members on Tuesday night.
A consultation on the proposal is being sent out to schools this week, running until October, with the hope a scheme could be up and running by January.
Bexley council is expected to put £200,000 into setting up and running partnership for the first two years.
Stef Borella, Labour's shadow spokesperson on the borough's education, raised a concern on the scheme's long term future, saying: "I do welcome that schools want to see a strategic relationship, I think it's vital that we see it.
"Past the first two years its unclear how funding will move forward, schools have had a real term reduction in per pupil funding, this has had an impact on schools' budgets and special educational needs provision. My concern is after that two years, schools will want to buy in, but funding wise there is a concern they will not be able to."
A review of the council's investment will take place after the first two years of the partnership.
John Fuller, cabinet member for education added: "Even with schools converting to academies, they still look to us as a borough for help, out of all of our schools the majority still look to us for assistance, and guidance.
"These are Bexley's children, we have an obligation to make sure all sides of education are looked at and worked on."
A spokesperson from the council said: "Our school leaders have told us clearly that they will work closely alongside us to build a new strategic alliance, enabling us to focus on local challenges and to celebrate successes together. We believe this decision will support and promote the life chances of tomorrow's adults."

Waste – Minimisation
- Legislation
- Consent Needed and How to Obtain It
- Performance Standards
- Sampling/Monitoring Requirements
- Reporting Requirements
- Non Compliance
- Renewal and Variation
- Pending Legislation
- Snippets
|Consent Needed:
None – unless your company is part of the "packaging chain" (see the Performance Standards tab).
If your company is a producer of packaging waste it must take reasonable steps to recover and recycle packaging waste to meet their targets (see Method of Calculation). This can be undertaken in two ways:
Note: your suppliers will also have targets for recovery of packaging waste.
|How to Apply:
|Contact local SEPA/EA branch for information on application for packaging waste.
|Who to Apply To:
|When to Apply:
|Annual basis (see above).
|National Packaging Waste Database:
The National Packaging Waste Database (NPWD) is established and makes provision for the electronic submission of packaging waste recovery notes.
The NPWD has been rolled out in a number of phases, the first of which went live on 1 April 2006 allowing online submission of quarterly returns by reprocessors and exporters. Phase II went live on 1 February 2007.
|Waste Minimisation, Recovery and Reuse:
The National Waste Strategies for England, Wales and Scotland set out the key principles to meet future objectives and statutory objectives for waste management. The waste hierarchy sets out options for managing waste in the following order of priority:
The Government is encouraging these objectives through a number of means including statutory requirements (e.g. Packaging Waste Regulations) and financial means (i.e. polluter pays principle), for example through landfill tax to reduce the amount of waste being disposed to landfill. As part of the implementation of the National Waste Plans, EA and SEPA have initiated a number of projects looking at priority waste streams including ozone depleting substances, special waste, packaging waste and waste oils. National Technical Guidance Notes will be published to assist waste producers identifying the Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) for their waste streams. Guidance is available on 'Packaging and packaging waste'.
|Recovery of Packaging Waste:
There are four "activities" in the packaging chain recognised by the legislation:
Each category has been set percentage responsibilities for recovery of the packaging waste.
The Regulations require those in the "packaging chain" (see above) to comply with a number of obligations including registration with EA or SEPA (see the Consent Needed tab).
Obligated packaging comprises four types of materials: plastics, glass, paper and metals. Wood is not included at present but may be used to meet your obligation (e.g. by recycling wooden pallets). It is important to note that it is not packaging that arises on your premises that you have an obligation to recover/recycle. The waste material may be of any origin and does not have to have originated on your premises. However, you can use any waste packaging arising on your premises to discharge your own obligation, by recovering and recycling it.
|Packaging Strategy:
|A consultation has recently been completed on implementing an updated UK Packaging Strategy 'Making the most of Packaging'. The intention is to further improve on packaging management and examine options for increasing the amount of packaging which is recovered and recycled. See Consultation Documents.
|Packaging Waste:
As a producer of packaging waste, you must furnish an annual certificate of compliance to the relevant Agency (SEPA or EA) to demonstrate you are achieving your targets. This will include the amount to the nearest tonne of each packaging material delivered to each reprocessor, and the type of recovery/recycling undertaken. Details of what data must be returned to the Agency is included in the registration packs.
Evidence of compliance must be retained for at least 4 years and SEPA/EA may request to see this evidence.
SEPA/EA have established a system of Packaging Recovery Notes (PRN), as evidence of compliance. A reprocessor may issue a PRN in exchange for packaging waste.
|Relevant convictions
|Guidance on Relevant convictions for waste environmental permits
|Packaging Waste:
Non-compliance to the Regulations (for packaging producers) is an offence and liable to prosecution.
|Renewal of Permit:
|Draft Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012:
|The main aim of these regulations is to implement Directive 2008/98/EC, on waste, (the Waste Framework Directive) and Scotland's Zero Waste Plan.
|Proposals for an Integrated Framework of Environmental Regulation:
|The proposals outlined by SEPA will deliver a simpler legislative framework which will enable SEPA to focus greatest effort on the environmental problems that matter most. It will provide a more consistent range of enforcement tools so that, proportionate and effective action can be taken against those who would damage the environment. The consultation that has been undertaken is built on previous consultations focusing on changes to the structure of environmental protection legislation in order to create a new, integrated framework for the permissions (licences, permits, rules, etc.) which will be used to control activities which could harm the environment.
|Scotland's Zero Waste Plan:
|The Scottish Government has adopted Zero Waste as a goal for Scotland. This means eliminating unnecessary use of raw materials, sustainable design, resource efficiency and waste prevention. View Scotland's Zero Waste Plan here (PDF document).

SDI is the predominant and preferred (and sometimes only interface option) digital video interface to route from a camera to external monitors for monitoring on set, wireless video senders (Teradek, etc..) or even broadcast video uplink systems such as LiveU, Dejero, etc.. but what happens when these systems only support HD in 60i and you are shooting in 24p?
Since the F55 doesn't implement any internal 2-3 pulldown (a method to store 23.98p in 60i) sending 23.98p/24p to other systems or devices may not work or be compatible. There is also a double whammy with respect to the signal over HDMI when recording in 23.98/24p as well – Sony implemented some type of variation to the PsF when sending 24p over HDMI which resulted in almost ALL monitors being used for external monitoring to no longer be compatible with the F5/F55. Sadly very few manufacturers were able to address this via firmware updates so it left many people to have to scramble to alternative solutions.
A few years back I had started a well known thread on the Sony F5/F55 forums under the alias starcentral asking Sony to address this but it was later confirmed Sony would be unable to do anything about it. Likely they just did not incorporate the needed technology or internal processing to perform a real-time 2-3 pulldown in the camera. Interestingly enough the Sony PMW-F3 incorporated such a pulldown in that model camera and many of us would have expected this to make it over to the next generation.
So this is where the MD-HX Decimator comes to the rescue! It can take 23.98 or 24p from either the SDI or HDMI ports of the F55 camera and convert it to 60i or in fact any desire format including resolution changes, for example it can convert 1080p to 720p… or even lower! Using the decimator you could even use it to covert Sony's proprietary 24p over HDMI to a "normal" version that many monitors and devices would then be compatible with although HDMI being somewhat a flimsy connector I would opt to use the SDI output from the camera to the MD-HX decimator and then go HDMI out from it to the monitor.
In fact this is what I did with my test when I was generously loaned a MD-HX Decimator from the folks over at Toronto Camera Retnals & Sales. Seen in the photo at the top of this post I have the Sony F55 via SDI going to the MD-HX Decimator, and from the MD-MX decimator via HDMI to an old Philips 22″ computer monitor. Absolutely brilliant – I might even start using this as an onset directors monitor!
If the decimator only had some 3D LUT capability it would definitely be a bonus since internal 3D LUTs on the F55 are crippled in certain situations on the camera. Lastly please do note this model of the decimator is limited to HD resolution and does not support 4K but the F55 can output HD via SDI or HDMI when the camera is in 4K mode.
Let me know if you're using a MD-MX decimator in your kit?!

FWC Defers Action on Importing Live Captive Deer Into Florida
June 18, 2013
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission deferred a decision on the importation of live captive deer into Florida from out of state until the September meeting.
Commissioners, meeting at the Hilton Garden Inn in Lakeland on Thursday, said they want more time to hear from staff and stakeholders about options to lessen the chances of Chronic Wasting Disease being introduced into Florida.
Similar to mad cow disease, CWD is always fatal in animals but isn't known to affect people. The disease has not been found in Florida, but it has been discovered in 22 states, two Canadian provinces and South Korea.
The FWC said it has received a lot of comment from the public since May from deer hunters and owners of deer farms and hunting preserves.
There will probably be a lot of public comments at the next FWC meeting Sept. 4-6 in Pensacola.

Book Club Details
Washington Rare Book Group
|About Club
From small secondhand book shops to the Library of Congress, the capital region enjoys vast bibliographic resources. We invite you to join the Washington Rare Book Group (WashRBG) to learn more about the institutions and people who are involved in rare books in the metropolitan area. We cover some fascinating subjects in the world of books and most heartily welcome newcomers.
This informal and diverse group dates from the early 1970's, when a small number of enthusiasts from various disciplines (including collectors, book dealers, and private and governmental librarians) was drawn together to share collecting interests and activities. The groups' membership now numbers approximately 100 and has grown to include publishers, printers, conservators, book artists, historians, and others.
Gathering over catered lunches or evening cocktails about once a month from September through May, the group meets in libraries, museums, and places of of bookish interest. The programs at these meetings draw on the unique resources of the Washington metropolitan area and the membership and often feature private tours of exhibitions and libraries, as well as talks by experts in various fields.
Past meeting highlights have included: a panel discussion at an auction house; talks on book conservation, private collections, and Washingtoniana; a day trip to the Book Arts Press in Charlottesville; an evening tour of the Library and telescopic stargazing at the Naval Observatory; and tours of exhibitions at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution Libraries, the Folger Shakespeare Library and other local libraries.

Pennsylvania Districts Challenge Mandate for School-Tax Rebates
Pennsylvania school districts have gone to court to contest new state rules requiring them to provide school-tax rebates to taxpayers.
The tax-rebate requirement stems from a lengthy deadlock in the legislature that delayed approval of a state budget more than a month into the new fiscal year. The budget finally approved provides for major increases in state aid for schools, an additional $20 million for low-wealth school districts, and the largest tax increase in the state's history.
The budget was passed weeks after local districts already had set their spending plans for the year. Hoping to soften the political impact of their massive tax hike, lawmakers required districts to reopen their budgets and make rebates to taxpayers with any additional, unanticipated funds coming to them under the new budget.
The Pennsylvania School Boards Association, which is spearheading the lawsuit pending in Commonwealth Court, says the new requirement is "illegal and would cause some school districts irreparable harm." In particular, the districts take issue with the state education department's guidelines for implementing the rebate plan, which they say misinterpret the law and improperly impose new rules.
"Even if districts have serious needs in other parts of their education programs, they couldn't use the money," said Thomas P. Gentzel, associate executive director of the P.S.B.A. "All of the extra money would be refunded to taxpayers."
Mr. Gentzel said the rules cause particular problems for poorer districts, whose programs have long suffered under stringent budgets.
In the Steeelten-Highspire school district near Harrisburg, for example, Superintendent David Meckley said the state rules bar him from using his district's share of the $20 million for poorer systems to reinstate a teaching position.
"If we are a needy district and the legislature saw fit to give us money, why is the state saying we have to include it in the rebate?" he said.
The guidelines permit waivers only for those districts where the added funds would not cover the administrative costs of providing the rebate.
A spokesman for the education department declined to comment on the lawsuit last week.
A hearing on the matter was held Aug. 30, and a state judge is expected to rule on it by Sept. 16--the date by which districts are required to submit their rebate plans. --D.V.

In which we bring you motoring news from around the Web:
• Kay Segler, vice president of the Mini brand, announced on Wednesday that the Paceman, previewed as a concept at the 2011 Detroit auto show, would be the brand's seventh model, joining the lineup next year. The announcement was made at the start of an owners' rally at the brand's North American headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, N.J. (BMW Group)
• Mazda has done a facelift to its Japan-market Roadster, sold elsewhere as the MX-5 or MX-5 Miata. The grille is taller and more sharply delineated, and the foglamps are set more deeply in their bezels, losing their petal-like shape — a holdover from the brand's Nagare design language. Mazda is expected to use the new face on its export-market cars as well, but no timetable for its implementation was announced. (Mazda)
• Maria de Villota, the test driver for the Marussia Formula One team who crashed on Tuesday in a test run in England, was in critical but stable condition at a hospital in Cambridge. The driver, a Spaniard, suddenly accelerated into the back of a truck belonging to the team and took much of the impact on her helmet. John Booth, the Marussia team principal, said in a statement that the driver's right eye could not be saved in surgery. (Reuters)
• During the 2012 London Olympics, BMW will put its collection of art cars on view in a parking garage in East London. The collection, which has never been exhibited in full in Britain, includes cars painted by Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Roy Lichtenstein. The German automaker is the official automotive partner of the London Olympics. (BMW Group)

The Dutch. The Kiwis. The Germans. The Canadians. The Trinis. The Brits.
Top international cyclists have already committed to racing in Trexlertown this summer for the 40th anniversary season at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center.
And they've committed to racing here this summer with good reason.
"We have six UCI-sanctioned races this summer and 13 race nights for our World Series of Bicycling," Marty Nothstein, the Olympic gold medalist and current executive director of the VPCC said on Wednesday.
But the international pros are coming to T-town this summer with far-reaching goals on their minds.
"The UCI events are so important to the riders who will go on to represent their countries at Rio 2016," Nothstein said of the critical preparations in this pre-Olympic year.
"It's March 11 and we have more commitments now at this time than we had last year, which means we'll get a lot more as the season approaches. Locally, we've got Kim Geist and Bobby Lea winning bronze medals at the world championships last month, and Matt Baranoski is one of our sprinters who will contend to represent the U.S. in Rio. This is an incredible opportunity to race against the world's best in their own backyard. It's one of the things I used to enjoy when I was racing."
If the influx of world class cyclists staging their final preparations for the Olympics isn't enough of a draw, the VPCC, a vision created by the late Bob Rodale to help local talent reach the Olympic level, is celebrating its landmark 40th year this summer.
"To be at the 40th anniversary, what an amazing milestone," Nothstein said, "not just for the fans and cyclists who enjoy the cycling center on a daily basis, but for the Lehigh Valley.
"With all these countries committing to come — Netherlands, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Trinidad, Great Britain — it's a strong slate and feather in the cap of the velodrome and in the cap of the Lehigh Valley. These international cyclists come not just for the velodrome, but to train on the local roads, the crowds we have, the community support they experience.
The World Series of Bicycling kicks off on Friday, June 5, with the U.S. Spring Grand Prix and concludes, Friday, Aug. 28, with the fan-favorite Madison Cup. It features 12 Friday nights and one Saturday (June 20) and the six UCI-sanctioned races, where riders can win points to help them qualify for the World Championships, which are crucial to help qualify for the Olympics.
The only Friday night off during the summer is Friday, July 3. There are 45 days and nights of racing in all, counting amateur races on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
"It's a very intense schedule, and fans can expect the same great entertainment and racing they've come to know," Nothstein said. "We pride ourselves in being community-driven in a place where the best cyclists in the world will come on a weekly basis to compete in front of our fans."

FENOFF IS THE NO. 1 TRIATHLETE IN U.S.: Hellertown's Sean Fenoff received some welcome news two weeks ago.
The 14-year-old freshman at Saucon Valley High School found out that his triathlon results from 2014 earned him the top spot among all triathletes in his age group according to rankings released by USA Triathlon.
Fenoff, who ran cross country for Saucon Valley last season, started racing in triathlons as an 8-year-old following in the footsteps of his father, Terry. He started doing spring distance adult triathlons two years later.
"I started out doing the Steelman triathlons at Nockamixon [State Park]," Fenoff said during a phone interview. "I believe I did nine triathlons altogether last year."
In order to qualify for the USAT rankings, a triathlete must do at least three USAT-sanctioned events. Fenoff raced all over the Northeast, with his best performances set at Timberman in New Hampshire and Marshman at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County. Fenoff earned top ranking in a group of 199 qualifying youngsters 15-and-under.
While Fenoff took part in road runs before getting into triathlons, he never did any competitive biking or swimming.
"For the most part, I go out to Lake Nockamixon to train,' he said. "There are open shoulders on the road and nice places to run, but I also run a lot on the back roads of Lower Saucon Township. In the winter, I swim at the Saucon Valley High School pool, and in the summer at the Soleco [Southern Lehigh Community] Pool in Coopersburg."
Fenoff is gearing up for his season to start in May.

Got a problem with SWIFT?
Follow these instructions, 70% of the time following these instructions should solve your problem.
- Make sure you have the latest copy of the theme. You can download the latest version here.
- Reinstall Swift.
- Check if you have selected appropriate options in the options page.
- If you have added any code to the theme files or widgets, make sure all the html tags are closed.
- Sometimes a faulty outdated plugin may clash with SWIFT. Deactivate all the plugins and see if it solves the problem.
- Deactivate widgets to see if they are creating any problem.
If these doesn't solve your problem, try again after some time, you might have missed something. If this still doesn't solve your problem head to the support forum, I'm waiting there to solve your problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Thumbnails not showing up
Swift uses WordPress post thumbnail feature for thumbnails. You should set featured image for thumbnails to show up. If you are switching to Swift from a theme which doesn't use thumbnails or uses custom fields for thumbnails, you have to update each post and set the thumbnail. That can be cumbersome task if you are having lot of posts. Luckily there is a plugin which can automatically set the post thumbnails. Here are the step by step instructions.
- Install Auto Post Thumbnail plugin
- Then goto settings -> auto post thumbnail and generate thumbnails.
TIP: You can set the thumbnails manually for your future posts, or leave the plugin activated to have them set automatically.
2. Thumbnails not cropping/resizing correctly
Swift uses built in WordPress functions to generate post thumbnails, which in turn depends in the meta data created while you upload the image. If for some reason WordPress couldn't process the image when its uploaded, then meta data won't be created. So the thumbnails won't be cropped correctly. To fix this..
- If its only one or two posts, you can delete the thumbnail and reuplaod it. If that does not solve the problem, use a different image.
- If there are many images..
- install Ajax Rebuild thumbnail plugin.
- Goto tools->rebuild thumbnails
- Check thumbnail and " " and rebuild thumbnails.
3. Feed count not shown?
Enable "Show feed count" option in your feedburner account settings.

Can someone help me out? None of my connected devices are showing, and every other help topic just has a Comcast Rep having the customers send a DM to them. I was tinkering with restricting access to specific devices, but that wouldn't block me from seeing the permitted devices, right?
Hi Wayne and welcome to the support forums.
I would like to assist with your gateway. I do ask for a private message with your account information so I can also replicate the issue on my side as well as this could be related to a recent firmware upgrade that rolled out. Could you please private message me your account number and the name of your business? You can also try factory resetting the gateway but all settings would default if you made any changes.
Hi again, Wayne.
I'll be glad to help with your gateway. Just to confirm, could you also provide the mac address found on the gateway through this private message, please?
I am having the same issue, and would love a solution. thanks!
Hi rachelclark.
I just responded to your private message. Please send a reply there.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has lambasted security agencies for not apprehending some supporters of the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, who recently threatened to destroy the state.
Paulinus Nsirim, the State's Commissioner for Information and Communications, quoted the Governor to have said this on Arise Television, while reacting to the threat by a pro-Amaechi group which has gone viral on social media.
Wike expressed surprise that the threat does not mean anything to security agencies.
Recall that after the video went viral on social media, Amaechi had cautioned his supporters and Rivers State people to steer clear of violence as that is not the best way to resolve any issue, stating that he is a man of peace.
Governor Wike said these Amaechi's supporters were courageous because their pay masters have assured them of security cover.
He said it was unfortunate that a group of persons can now threaten to destroy the state and the security agencies cannot even speak about.
"I will not go to court against anybody because the threat is in the public domain. It is obvious, that they have the Police, Department of State Security, Air Force, Navy and the Army," Wike said.
"Otherwise, how do you explain the long silence of the Nigeria security agencies over such threats already trending online. For whatever reasons, why won't they bother about the person making such threats because of an internal problem within APC.
"Remember, for the first time in the history of this country when Chibuike Amaechi was governor, he shut down the courts for two years. Based on that experience, more threats and attacks are seen.
"The minister is now coming to say that he is not a man of violence which is not true. We are not children to be so deceived."
Wike recalled that during the campaign leading to the last general elections, the Minister came to the state chanting war songs but was not cautioned by anyone.

Accountability for Line Item Appropriations
WHEREAS, the Louisiana Legislature annually appropriates sums commonly referred to as "Line Item Appropriations" to non-state entities, quasi-public entities, and private agencies and entities for public purposes;
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of executive branch agencies to administer payments pursuant to legislative Line Item Appropriations;
WHEREAS, Article VII, Section 14 of the Louisiana Constitution of 1974 (hereafter "Art. VII, §14"), expresses the general prohibition that "the funds, credit, property, or things of value of the state or of any political subdivision shall not be loaned, pledged, or donated to or for any person, association, or corporation, public or private";
WHEREAS, Line Item Appropriations are itemized in the General Appropriation Bill (HB1) of each regular session of the Louisiana Legislature, or in supplemental appropriation bills, as items within the budgets of various executive branch agencies, or in what is commonly known as Schedule 20 of HB1; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the state of Louisiana to insure that payments pursuant to Line Item Appropriations are carefully administered to assure that funds are utilized to accomplish the anticipated public purposes and to avoid constitutionally prohibited donations;
NOW THEREFORE I, Bobby Jindal, Governor of the state of Louisiana, by virtue of the authority vested by the Constitution and laws of the state of Louisiana, do hereby order and direct as follows:
SECTION 1: Line Item Appropriations require a cooperative endeavor agreement or contract between the recipient and an executive branch state agency to satisfy the provisions of Art. VII, §14. In addition to the requirements of this Order, cooperative endeavor agreements must comply with the provisions of Executive Order BJ 2008-29, issued on August 5th, 2008, governing cooperative endeavors.
SECTION 2: Cooperative endeavor agreements or contracts for Line Item Appropriations shall include the following information:
A. The legal name and mailing address of the recipient entity, and, if the entity is nonpublic, a description of the legal status of the entity. (Any private entity required to register with the Secretary of State's Office must be in good standing with that Office);
B. The names and addresses of all officers and directors of any non-public recipient entity. Additionally, the entity shall provide the names and addresses of its executive director, chief executive officer, or other person responsible for the day-to-day operations of the entity, and the key personnel responsible for the program or functions funded through the line item appropriation;
C. A listing of any person receiving any thing of economic value from any recipient entity if that person is a state elected or appointed official or a member of the immediate family of a state elected or appointed official. The listing shall include the value of the thing of economic value received, the position held by the state elected or appointed official or by the immediate family member. If the listing indicates any relationship which may be a possible violation of the Code of Governmental Ethics, R.S. 42:1101, et seq ., the state agency shall seek an opinion from the Board of Ethics as to the propriety of proceeding with the agreement;
D. A detailed description of the public purpose sought to be achieved through the Line Item Appropriation which must conform to the program described in the appropriations bill and, if applicable, supplemental information form submitted to the legislature;
E. A comprehensive budget, provided to the agency and the legislative auditor, showing all anticipated uses of the Line Item Appropriation, other sources of revenue and expenditures for the entity, program or project funded by the appropriation, an estimate of the duration of the project, and a plan showing specific goals and objectives, including measures of performance;
F. A plan to monitor compliance with the terms of the cooperative endeavor agreement authorizing the expenditure of the Line Item Appropriation, assigning a particular person within the agency to be responsible for monitoring the agreement. Written reports must be provided to the agency at least quarterly concerning the use of the Line Item Appropriation and the specific goals and objectives for the use of the appropriation; and
G. A certification that the entity has no outstanding audit issues or findings or that the entity is working with appropriate governmental agencies to resolve any issues or findings.
SECTION 3: Executive branch agencies are prohibited from making disbursements pursuant to Line Item Appropriations until the cooperative endeavor agreement or contract has received final approval of the Office of Contractual Review within the Division of Administration. Final approval shall not be granted unless all of the information required pursuant to Section 2 of this Order has been provided.
SECTION 4: Executive branch agencies shall monitor disbursements pursuant to Line Item Appropriations on a quarterly basis. Under circumstances such that the recipient entity has not demonstrated substantial progress towards goals and objectives, based on established measures of performance, further disbursements shall be discontinued until substantial progress is demonstrated or the entity has justified to the satisfaction of the agency reasons for the lack of progress. If the transferring agency determines that the recipient failed to use the Line Item Appropriation within the estimated duration of the project or failed to reasonably achieve its specific goals and objectives, without sufficient justification, the agency shall demand that any unexpended funds be returned to the state treasury unless approval to retain the funds is obtained from the Division of Administration and the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget.
SECTION 5: Executive branch agencies may call upon the Office of the Legislative Auditor and/or the Office of State Inspector General to assist the agency in determining whether Line Item Appropriations are being or have been properly expended.
SECTION 6: All departments, commissions, boards, offices, entities, agencies, and officers of the state of Louisiana, or any political subdivision thereof, are authorized and directed to cooperate in implementing the provisions of this Order.
SECTION 7 : The provisions of this Order shall be applicable to Line Item Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2008-2009 and thereafter. The provisions of this Order shall not be applicable to Line Item Appropriations to public or quasi-public agencies or entities that have submitted a budget request to the Division of Administration in accordance with Part II of Chapter 1 of Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 and transfers authorized by specific provisions of the Louisiana Revised Statute of 1950 to local governing authorities and transfers authorized by the Constitution of the state of Louisiana.
SECTION 8: The Commissioner of Administration may develop guidelines to further the implementation of this Executive Order.
SECTION 9: This Order is effective upon signature and shall continue in effect until amended, modified, terminated, or rescinded by the governor, or terminated by operation of law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have set my hand officially and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the state of Louisiana, at the Capitol, in the city of Baton Rouge, on this 5th day of August, 2008.

Will less psychotropic medication give better results? Many years ago – 25 or so – I was given large doses of psychotropic medications that probably would have felled a race horse. Or at least given him or her a good, long, drug-induced nap.
The medications were either classified as mood stabilizers or antipsychotics. How much I was given or the name of the medications I have no idea. It was when I was hospitalized for out-of-control mania.
After I stabilized and left the psych ward in 2 weeks or less, I didn't take psychotropic medication, was not prescribed long-term use.
[bctt tweet="You Do Not Need to Be Medicated to Death. Search for Root Causes of Mood Swings."]
Except one time and had to go off the drug quickly as it caused serious side effects.
Related post: Antipsychotic Medications Made Me Psychotic.
I'm lucky that way. I was so intolerant to most psychotropic medication that doctors really could not prescribe them to me. Or if they did, my medical history showed they only had a short-term positive effect. And that is usually what happened.
Intolerant to Toxic Meds Not Treatment-Resistant
The only psychotropic medication that I took for an extended time at a large dose was when I was in treatment in my early twenties and given lithium.
The dose was such I had to have monthly blood levels checked. After a slow downward spiral of not getting better I ended care with the doctor after that year trial. Then slowly took myself off the med.
And I was unstable at times until found treatments that helped the bipolar as well as other undiagnosed medical issues I had.
That's my story – just so you know where I am coming from. I was told I was one of the treatment-resistant type of patients. Now I know I really wasn't. The toxic meds were just making me ill.
Related post: Treatment Resistence is Your Body Saying No.
Getting better and not taking large doses of meds has been a very long and complicated journey. I share my story in my book: Bipolar 1 Disorder – How to Survive and Thrive.
Why Less Psychotropic Medication Can Be More Effective
There are many reasons why less medication to treat your bipolar illness may be more effective. A primary one simply that you are being prescribed the wrong meds. Or you are being over-prescribed multiple medications that you do not need.
Who would that NOT make sick?
Another important issue to consider is that you have underlying medical conditions affecting your mood states. Health issues that need medical attention such as thyroid disease (even if blood levels normal), sugar intolerance, chemical exposure and sensitivity, allergies, addiction issues, etc.
If you are actually Manic Depressive or suffering from Major Depression then a doctor or psychiatrist is acting ethically trying to stabilize you with what they have in their med vault. In my humble opinion.
They don't want you to harm yourself or others, or end-up hospitalized. They want to help you be a productive member of society and be able to work, have relationships, be self-sufficient.
But a large part of the problem is they go for the big guns (large doses of meds) at the get go, due to the influence of Big Pharma. Billionaire drug manufacturers who pay the doctor to treat you like an oversized mammal and medicate you to death.
Rather than having the doctor treat you like a sentient being who has been unfortunate enough to inherit the serious medical condition Manic Depression. And is struggling through life like everyone else is.
You may need to have drug treatment at times, but you are not a pharmaceutical human recepticle that needs every med they've been told to prescribe to patients like you.
And often you do not need to take large doses of drugs that are being prescribed. Or the 10 plus they are trying to get you to down with a glass of water or meal daily.
They Do Not Know How Psychotropic Medications Interact
The physician may not tell you… but they do NOT know how many of these drugs interact with each other. They do not know the potentiating effect of this med or if that med is decreasing the effectiveness of your other meds.
In actuality, they don't know how these drugs work at all in many respects for the condition you are being treated for. They still do not know how lithium works, only can postulate.
"Doctors don't know exactly how lithium works to stabilize a person's mood, but it is thought to help strengthen nerve cell connections in brain regions that are involved in regulating mood, thinking and behavior."
Source: Lithium for Bipolar Disorder.
I can give them some thoughts too… as someone who almost died when on large doses of the med.
Create Drugs Then Create Mental Illness Categories
Much of what is touted as biological psychiatry is anything but biological. It is 'pharmacological psychiatry'. A medical approach that comes from creating synthetic drug products to sell and market. Create in a lab so patents can be issued and lots of money made. Then find symptoms they can prescribe the meds for.
And then create new diagnostic categories to label people with a 'newly classified in the DSM' illness to be able to prescribe the drugs to. So they get insurance payments i.e. make money.
That is what the new 'bipolar spectrum' created in 1994 is all about. Bipolar 2 Disoder is not bipolar i.e. Manic Depression. It is a form of depression that has been around for decades.
You Are Smart and Special
Or the person has other mental – or physical – health issues. But everyone would rather get to think they are smart and special and get to say all their problems are because they are bipolar. You are smart and special, don't need a diagnosis for that.
Related post: Comparing Bipolar 2 Disorder to Breast Cancer.
No one in their right mind would want a diagnosis of bipolar. Or to be put on psychotropic medication. Trust me on this one. But Big Pharma loves this approach. They've been making billions of dollars controlling doctors and the medical sciences fields for decades.
"Psychotropic drugs, such as chlorpromazine, imipramine, or diazepam, were developed by astute researchers, at a time when several neurotransmitters had not yet been discovered and when little was known about the physiology of neurotransmitters."
"The modes of action of these first psychotropic drugs were discovered years after they had been successfully used clinically, and are still undergoing further study.

They know effects – some of them – these drugs have on the brain or on the way a patient may respond (sedation, increase in energy) but they do not know specifically how or why they may help you.
Psychotropic Medications Are a Guessing Game
It's all a guessing game, though your physcian will lead you to believe is all very scientific and well proven. Then if you don't respond as expected, or adversely… it's your issue maybe. And not caused by the harmful chemicals they are instructing you to put into your system.
Take away point: All of these medications have serious side effects. More potential dangerous effects the more medications you are prescribed and take as directed and the larger amount of the drug you are prescribed.
If you feel you do need help with a psychotropic medication to calm your moods or try and treat serious depression and experience unwanted side effects, know that it is possible to take less than the doctor prescribes and possibly still get an effect that helps you to stabilize or feel better.
And that side effects are common – the meds are toxic. Being prescibed more or a higher dose will just make you sicker, not better.

The best defense is to never agree to take these meds, or get off as quickly as possible. Even for those like me who were forced to due to hospitalization for a crisis.
Then I was misled by a psychiatrist who did not inform me accurately about the medical treatment that was being recommended i.e. high doses of lithium for an extended time. There is no way that could have continued without debillitating effects.
And I came close to losing my life as a result i.e. suicide. One story I read recently is a woman who was started on lithium in her late teens. Now in her thirties, she needs a kidney transplant and has to undergo dialysis. What wonderful medical care.
Most psychiatrists do not inform patients about the harm psychotropic medication can cause. They just want to write prescriptions, pretend to treat a 'chemical imbalance' they know you do not have and make money.
Know this reality and protect yourself, protect your family. Search for other ways to be well. When you can.
Cheers. Molly

"Look, Faubert came not to be a star to play, but if Arjen Robben was injured," said Ramos.
"Though Robben has been out, Marcelo has done very well on the left of midfield. Faubert will help us, if needed."
