The first ever degree-level apprenticeship to train environmental practitioners in England has officially been launched. This means that employers in England are now able to recruit candidates to start the programme this autumn.
Louise Beamish, Head of Acoustics, WSP and Chair of the Trailblazer Group, said: "The launch of this degree apprenticeship marks a hugely significant milestone for the environmental industry. We very much hope this will become a primary route to an environmental degree whilst gaining valuable vocational skills."
The Level 6 Environmental Practitioner degree apprenticeship is a new route into the profession that combines academic education with practical experience to equip future employees. Through the programme, apprentices will develop the vital knowledge, skills and behaviours they need to proactively manage environmental projects and their impact in urban and rural areas, and through infrastructure programmes, whilst being able to balance social, economic, engineering and environmental issues
Under this apprenticeship, apprentices will be able to earn a salary from an employer while completing a professionally accredited degree qualification in environmental science (or similar) and, through the End Point Assessment process, be eligible to gain professional registration status through a range of environmental professional bodies licenced by the Society for the Environment.
There is strong interest in the scheme, with over 30 employers interested in employing apprentices. The Trailblazer Group is working with at least five universities who are aiming to offer the apprenticeship from this September, with more set to come on board in the future.
Currently, the vast majority of environmental practitioners enter the profession after graduating from an undergraduate or postgraduate degree across a broad range of subjects. This apprenticeship will support those entering the profession, not only with the academic credibility of their graduate counterparts, but in the delivery of highly technical and professional skills. The time needed to complete the apprenticeship can vary, but it is typically completed within four to six years. Levy-paying employers in England can use the levy to fund this apprenticeship up the maximum funding rate of £27,000.
The IES welcomes the launch of this new apprenticeship. Adam Donnan, IES CEO, said
"The more routes there are into the environmental profession, the better for student recruitment and diversity in the sector. The apprentice gets a cost-effective method of attaining a degree, with the additional gold-plated assurances of the End Point Assessment. Given our expertise in higher education, and the assessment of the knowledge and skills of environmental professionals, we will be acting as an End Point Assessment organisation. We also recently accredited our first training provider programme, the Environmental Science (Practitioner) BSc (Hons) from the University of Central Lancashire.
If you are an employee looking to recruit an apprentice, an individual wishing to start an apprenticeship, or a university hoping to act as a training provider, please get in contact and we should be able to provide assistance."

A SIM card that supports multiple operators? Apple isn't the first
After a slightly underwhelming Apple event yesterday, many people concluded that the most exciting thing to come out of it was an unannounced special SIM with support for multiple carriers on one card. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to burst that bubble of excitement too – this concept isn't close to being new.
In fact, it's been around for years – particularly in growing markets like Pakistan and India. See, you can buy a "2008 Edition 6-Number-in-1 Multi-Operator Magic-SIM with Card Cloning Software and USB Reader" for just $11.50. All you do is load the data/numbers from your existing normal SIM cards onto the "magic" one and you have multiple network options in one.
Admittedly, Apple's answer – which allows you to switch between operators and buy data virtually without moving a muscle, let alone manually set up the SIM – is a lot more straightforward and simple, which is why it'll likely gain consumer support in developed countries for the first time.
There's also one other key difference between a random gadget maker pumping out magic SIMs and Apple signing deals with specific operators around the world – it gives Apple considerable leverage over networks if they want to be on that list. Right now, it's just a handful of big names in the US and one in the UK, but I'd expect this to grow. Short term contracts don't really work in the networks' favor, but Apple has such a massive device user base, it's probably still in their interest to play along.
What has previously existed before, Apple will once again bring to the masses.

Algomi's New CEO Eaton: 'I Could Not Have Asked For A Better Six Weeks'
To say that the new CEO of Algomi, Scott Eaton, is a busy man is an understatement. Not only satisfied with tackling the challenges of settling into a new working environment at the fixed income liquidity matching firm, Eaton announced that Algomi has this month agreed to partner with Belgian financial services firm Euroclear. Euroclear has pledged significant investment in Algomi but their partnership will also involve a technological collaboration, with the hundreds of thousands of bonds held by Euroclear in Europe now made available to the buyers through Algomi's ALFA price aggregation tool.
Eaton has also revealed that while the direction of the firm would not change drastically following his appointment, he anticipated a focus on augmenting the relationship with Euroclear and continuing to develop Algomi's ALFA product for the remainder of 2018. "The very first thing we have planned for Q3 and Q4 is to continue to work with our partners at Euroclear and build that connectivity," Eaton said. "We have that search function which will allow for their bonds to be searched for in real time. This is what we will be focusing on from a development standpoint."
"From a slightly larger standpoint," he continued, "we will be focusing on the ALFA product which is extremely powerful not just for bond traders, but also portfolio managers and compliance teams. We have a number of tremendously exciting meetings with the buy-side lined up. It was purpose-built to reflect exactly what an execution trader needs every day and we will continue working with Euroclear and that is a really fun thing."
Algomi's ALFA platform brings together liquidity data from electronic messaging platforms and dealer inventory feeds, incorporating them in one solution. Users of the platform can decide which of their bonds in custody are exposed in the database to the buy-side. In turn, those looking to purchase securities will highlight those on the platform that they would be interested in purchasing and for what price.
Should both the sell-side discover that an entity is interested in buying their bonds for an acceptable price, Algomi's ALFA platform then signals that a match has been made. One of the key advantages of Algomi's ALFA is that it gives the buy-side a real-time view of the entire bond market, therefore encouraging buyers to commit to sales. The platform aims to reduce the threat of a 'liquidity drought' in global bond markets by allowing traders to complete their transactions on one platform, rather than across several. Eaton explained that the fragmentation of trades had led to both the confidence in and the liquidity of fixed income markets suffering.
Algomi also revealed that the partnership with Euroclear will make more than 372,000 ISINs available to buyers across the continent. "I think that they are the main custodians for European bond market access and therefore will bring something really interesting to the table," Eaton said. "I don't think anyone else on the continent can bring this access which is totally unique." Euroclear will join HSBC and BNY Mellon as Algomi ALFA custodians.
For Eaton, mainland Europe will remain one of Algomi's fundamental markets for 2018. It is a region he is familiar with given his previous role overseeing business operations for Europe as the COO at MarketAxess Europe. "Europe is a key market for us," he said. "Our partnerships with major European market infrastructure providers such as Euroclear, Euronext and SIX enable us to scale the development and use of Algomi's powerful liquidity intelligence technology to new parts of the market. Market aggregation and analytics tool, Algomi ALFA is key for driving growth in European markets for us because it offers a holistic view of trading activity across multiple trading venues."
Interestingly, Eaton himself comes from a legal background having studied the subject at Georgetown University in his native United States. However, following his graduation he moved to London taking up a job with the now-defunct British merchant bank, Kleinwort Benson. From his first day as a trainee bond trader, he was hooked. He quickly rose through the ranks within the industry and has held a number of senior roles at blue-chip financial firms, including the Managing Director and Global Head of Trading for Central and Eastern Europe at UniCredit and the Global Head of Trading at ABN AMRO.
"I value my law school education not because I ended up being a lawyer but because it taught me how to look at the world and analyse problems in a certain way," he said. "When you take that mindset into the world of bond trading it is certainly advantageous looking at the market from a different original perspective. I have then worked on the traditional sell-side, ran a hedge fund and also know what it is like working with clients on the buy side. As a result, I really understand market structure and how things have evolved so these things allow me hopefully to bring a directing voice to such an excellent team as Algomi."
He sees a long-term stint ahead for himself at Algomi and is particularly enthused about the quality of the board already in place, despite the firm only launching recently in 2012.
"It has been a very busy six weeks so far but I can usually gauge my happiness in a job by how excited or unexcited I am to get up on a Monday morning," Eaton said. "We just have this unbelievable board here and I find that on a Sunday night I'm thinking of work in a positive way, thinking of new ideas and concepts which is a great sign. Every day so far has been extraordinarily fun and I could not have asked for a better six weeks!"

Saudi Threat to Dump U.S. Assets Is Very Exaggerated
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Back in the early 1980s, long before The Big Short, there was a fictional financial thriller called Rollover. Starring Jane Fonda, before she hawked exercise videos, and Kris Kristofferson, who won a Worst Actor Razzie Award for his performance, the flick portrayed the supposed global economic chaos that would ensue if Arab oil exporters were to refuse to roll over their petrodollar deposits.
Fast-forward to 2016. "Saudi Arabia Warns of Economic Fallout if Congress Passes 9/11 Bill," declares the lead story in last Saturday's New York Times. The Saudi foreign minister told the White House the kingdom "would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in Treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts," the Times reported.
That supposedly would happen should Congress pass legislation that would allow the Saudi government to be sued for damages resulting from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The 9/11 Commission report found "no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded the organization" responsible for the attacks. But suspicions of Saudi involvement—contained in 28 classified pages of a 2002 Congressional report—remain. And families of 9/11 victims have pressed their case against the Saudi government for its alleged support for terrorism, but have been thwarted by a law shielding foreign governments from some suits in U.S. courts.
The legislation under consideration would remove that immunity from governments determined to have killed American citizens on U.S. soil. The Obama Administration opposes the measure because it could expose U.S. troops and citizens to retaliatory actions.
Whatever the legal merits of the argument over the legislation, the financial threats appear far less than advertised. With the plunge in the price of oil, not only are the Saudis' assets far less than advertised, the kingdom is having to go into hock to cover its mounting bills.
Bianco Research points out that, as of the latest February data from the U.S. Treasury, all members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries together hold a total of $281 billion—"a far cry from $750 billion." Total official Saudi foreign exchange holdings totaled $592 billion, also well short of the purported $750 billion in U.S. assets.
International asset data are notoriously dodgy, with assets showing up in unlikely places such as Belgium or the Caribbean, which clearly are owned by foreigners. But markets often turn out to be more revealing.
The Financial Times Wednesday reported the Saudis were raising $10 billion in a syndicated bank loan, the first time the kingdom has had to borrow since 1991. That comes after a $120 billion plunge in reserves since late 2014 and a ballooning of its fiscal deficit to 19% of gross domestic product—a shortfall that would make Greece shudder—all resulting from the collapse in crude.
The bank loan opens the way for Saudi Arabia to float a multibillion-dollar bond issue to cover its fiscal gap, the FT says. Meanwhile, Saudi Aramco is preparing an initial public offering that would raise about $106 billion, Bloomberg reported, which would give the state-owned oil company a market capitalization of $2 trillion.
That the Saudis are issuing billions in debt and selling off a portion of their crown jewel provides ineluctable evidence that they need the dough. While Saudi Arabia may be the low-cost oil producer, the oil revenues simply don't cover their spending.
That suggests the Saudi threat to dump Treasuries is less daunting. As the Times notes, foreign official holders have liquidated $225 billion of Treasuries in the past year—and their yields remain near historic lows nonetheless. And given the Saudis' cash needs, they will likely continue to sell off their foreign assets regardless.
Last weekend's Doha OPEC meeting shows how the cartel's clout in the oil market has shriveled. Low crude prices similarly mean a financially debilitated Saudi Arabia. For purely financial reasons, there's no reason for the U.S. to roll over.

I am not sure how long we planned Kaitlyn's Destination Senior Session to New York City but I know that it was one of my most anticipated sessions for the Class of 2017. I mean think about it...a beautiful senior that I've been photographing for about 6 years, her family that I dearly love, and New York City! What else could a photographer ask for? Before I start showing you the gorgeous images, let me tell you the trip itself and the camaraderie was some of the best parts. We laughed, we cried when we thought about those who weren't with us anymore, we praised Jesus, we laughed some more, we sang songs, and laughed some more...you get the picture.
And then there was sunset with the New York City Skyline in the background...
On Day Two, I'm pretty sure we walked around 10 miles, from the subway through Central Park to Times Square. Kaitlyn was a trooper and even though we were hungry and thirsty (and determined to have pizza) she powered on until we finally found an authentic New York Pizzeria. It was totally worth the wait and we created some pretty incredible images along the way.
Do you know how long you have to wait for there to be no one else in your wide angle Central Park image? A pretty long time! Patience is important when photographing in the city.
Walking through one of the tunnel bridges, I snapped this pretty quickly before the opportunity for the unplanned silhouette was over. Kaitlyn carrying her heels because Lord knows you cannot walk through the whole city in them! I think its a fine ending to her session. She's not walking away from anything, she is walked toward her future, and like the outside of the tunnel it is so bright!
I had some help throughout the trip. Kaitlyn's family was there to help with whatever we needed. Her aunt's family put us up for a night on the trip up and back and fed us the best meals. Thank you Barb! Nancy, Sandra, and Ed were there to lend a hand whenever we needed it (and kept us entertained!). And Lucy helped carry my things and Kaitlyn's all over New York City. Thank you Lucy! Here are a couple of pictures of Lucy and Kaitlyn at Time's Square. Cousins are special.
After this we took a tour on one of the double decker tour buses. It was worth every single penny (and you can barter with the tour salesmen- that's a pretty competitive world apparently!) They went to a Broadway Show while I got lost in the city looking for Penn Station. True story. I did however learn that New Yorkers are a very friendly and helpful bunch. After finally finding the train station, then the shuttle bus, I crashed. The night life is not for me I discovered.
Celeste, thank you for trusting me with your girl's portraits, all of them. You gave her an experience she will never forget, her dream session in NYC. I have no idea how we can ever top this one, but you know I love the challenge!

Program Areas - Restoration Program
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Wallops Flight Facility (WFF)
EPA Facility Identification Number: VA8800010763 and VA7800020888
Facility Location: Route 803, Wallops Island, Virginia 23337 and Route 798, Wallops Island, Virginia 23337
Facility Contact: Mr. David Liu, 757-824-2141
EPA Contact: Ms. Lori Baker, 215-814-3355
Other (Former) Names of Site: Wallops Flight Facility was also operated as the Chincoteague Naval Auxiliary Air Station (CNAAS), Naval Aviation Ordnance Test Station (NAOTS), and NASA's predecessor agency, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA).
Site Facts: Wallops Flight Facility is a national resource for providing low-cost integration, launch, and operation of sub-orbital and small orbital payloads that support space-based research focused on Earth and its environments, established in 1945 under the NACA. Effective December 8, 2004, NASA and the EPA entered into an Administrative Agreement on Consent (AAOC). The AAOC was issued under the authority under Section 7003 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), 42 U.S.C. Section 6973, and by agreement integrates the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. The AAOC applies to past releases of hazardous substances, waste and/or constituents at WFF and identifies CERCLA response requirements, policies, and guidance as the primary process for planning for and performing the work necessary to complete remedial and corrective actions appropriate to address contamination from those releases.
Contamination: Historic waste handling operations and activities have led to surface soil, subsurface soil, and groundwater contamination at the Facility which may present a potential endangerment to health and the environment.
What is Being Done: NASA is currently engaged in site characterization and remedial activities at five sites, in accordance with the requirements of CERCLA and under the authority of RCRA Section 7003. NASA has closed 21 sites under CERCLA and has two sites in long term monitoring. NASA has also closed 21 storage tank sites under the Virginia Storage Tank Program and has one site in long term monitoring. In addition to the areas NASA is addressing, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Baltimore District is addressing the former CNAAS and NAOTS sites that have historical contamination from past Department of Defense (DOD) activities. These sites are being addressed by the USACE Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) program under 13 active projects. In February 2015, NASA and Department of the Army signed a Memorandum of Agreement authorizing NASA to manage the FUDS program at WFF on behalf of USACE.
What Remains To Be Done: NASA will continue site investigations and propose to EPA remedial alternative(s), as appropriate, to address soil, sediment, surface water, and/or groundwater contaminants where an unacceptable risk has been determined. Additional details can be found in the Fiscal Year 2018 - 2019 Site Management Plan.
Site Repository: Copies of supporting technical documents and correspondence are available for public review at the following locations:
|Eastern Shore Public Library
|Chincoteague Island Library
|23610 Front Street
|4077 Main Street
|Accomack, Virginia 23301
|Chincoteague, Virginia 23336
|(757) 787-3400
|(757) 336-3460
The Administrative Agreement on Consent defines NASA and the U.S. EPA's responsibilities for management and restoration of impacted areas on WFF.

At the end of the nineteenth century, Geary Boulevard was flanked by the (now non-extant) Sutro Baths (circa 1896) along the Pacific Coast and Union Square (circa 1850) at the heart of downtown San Francisco. The scheme proposes the first civic intervention in over a century at midpoint along this corridor, thereby replacing a private banking parking lot.
The project is proceeded by the assumption of a block, cut away to create an urban space. The form is driven by a market typology, as two voids are extracted (both on and in the ground) to create clear open and covered zones of shared public use. Elemental slabs, walls and columns create layers of enclosure for market vendors; reinforcing the relationship between form and public space, and the interplay between inside and outside.

The human vermiform appendix is probably
not a "functionless sack" as many people assume.
It presumably functions in providing an off-line
inoculum of beneficial bacteria to the colon, when
this activity of the caecum becomes compromised
due to an extremely severe case of diarrhea or
other gastro-intestinal disorder. Since the
appendix's role in colon inoculation is also
provided by the caecum, people can usually carry
on typically normal lives without it, should it
ever become inflamed and an appendectomy deemed
necessary. While the functional significance of
the appendix seems somewhat shrouded in
redundancy, there is no reason for supporting that
it is a primitive or degenerate structure.
Although an "appendix-like" structure does exist
in wombats, civets, rodents, and a few other lower
animals, the appendix is evidently a specialized
formation, unique to anthropoid apes and man,
where it probably provides similar functions.
Although the purpose described above is often
omitted from textbooks, it does provide one
possible explanation for its existence. It would
not surprise me to hear that others do not
necessarily agree with my interpretation of the
appendix's functional significance, but I do know
that I am not alone in my thoughts regarding it's
possible role. Remember, this is science, and it
is criticism and mystery that stimulate research
and it is research that leads to new
interpretations, new ways of thinking, and new
questions to ask.
The appendix is a branch off of the cecum.The
cecum is the pouch just below where the small
intestine joins the large intestine. Originally,
the cecum may have just added more area where
things could be absorbed. In some animals, the
cecum (ceca if they have more than one) is used as
a place where plant material can be stored or
fermented. In humans the cecum and appendix
don't seem to do anything. Most scientists feel
that it is a leftover from earlier species. That
is, maybe our ancestors ate more vegetation than
we do and depended on a place where microbes could
break down the food. Like all of the rest of the
intestines, there are pockets of immune system
tissue in the appendix. Some people have argued
that the appendix isn't useless, but is important
to the immune system. If you wanted to test
whether the appendix were important to the immune
(disease fighting) system, how would you do it?

Check out gut
Good questions -- they frequently come up in
discussions of comparative anatomy and
evolution.The human appendix (a small sac
near the junction of the small and large
intestine) is homologous to a structure called the
"caecum", a large, blind chamber in which leaves
and grasses are digested in many other
mammals.The appendix is often referred to
as a "vestigial" structure. Presumably, as humans
evolved, they no longer had need of a caecum yet
it was not "lost" as part of the developmental
program of humans. It would be interesting to find
out if other primates have an appendix or a true
caecum (or maybe nothing!). See if you can find
this information and how it might influence the
evolutionary aspect of how we (you) think about
vestigial structures (organs useless to their
present owners that serve important functions in
other species).

well, things have been terribly confused for weeks now, but they slowly seem to be getting back on an even keel - the tidal wave of bad news seems to have passed, the tax is coming along nicely, with the end in sight, and it seems we're not about to be evicted, so YAY!
djelibeybi and i are currently up in shropshire - with the end of his telford contract, he has the coalport flat until the end of april, so we figured we should make the most of it and do a little exploring and walking and seeing of castles and old blast furnaces and so on, so we're having a fine old time. i also have a probable contract (possibly in germany) coming up towards the end of may, which doesn't leave much time in between for contracts, so i am taking my courage in both hands, putting my trust in Providence and have started telling employment agents that i won't be available till august (when the parents leave). it feels a bit scary - that's a long time without either of us bringing in any income, and of course it includes traipsing about france with parents and a possible trip up to scotland and who knows what surprises, but it feels like the right thing to do. i was freaking a bit about having to try to find a job and the money situation, and i think it'll all be better if i just calm down and take this opportunity as a chance to keep doing what i want to do.
assuming our visas are renewed, djeli may find employment quicker than last time (heck, maybe revenue & customs will pull their finger out and finally do their budgets and he'll get his job back!), and if they're not, then at least we'll have made the most of our last weeks and not randomly wasted them on work. and while i owe djeli a truckload of ££s (he finally worked out the true state of the joint account which revealed £3000-worth of debt for me) he does have some savings so we won't starve or not be able to pay the rent or anything.
so it's scary, but it feels like the right thing to do.
that said, if you need an experienced web interface dev for a couple of days, don't hesitate to call!

Have you ever tried to quit smoking but unsuccessfully? You wanted to play sports regularly, but still could not find enough motivation? Sometimes no matter how much we want to achieve something, we're unable to stick to what we've set. And the barrier here is likely not the lack of strong will, but the way we set ourselves goals. In this article, you will learn how to establish your goals so they're easy and enjoyable to realize. The technique I will be discussing is setting short-term goals. A technique that can be underestimated.
It's swimming somewhere, drifting across the ocean, but the destination is unknown.
You construct your"another-self"
Research by neuropsychologists has confirmed that when we set ourselves a goal to achieve, we act as if it were already part of us. The brain cannot fully distinguish between what we have and what we want to get, and it considers that the desired effect is currently a part of ourselves. For instance, if we don't accomplish our aim, we feel pain like we have lost something.
When you've got a goal with a time limit, the chances of achieving it drastically rise. A short-term goal may be the first step of a journey that contributes to a larger one. By way of instance, if you want to go work remotely and traveling around the world, it would be a good idea to learn about methods of making money on the internet, digital nomading or beginning studying a new language. The fact isthat sometimes your short-term goals, although unrelated to the main one, can still contribute to your success. For instance, learning how to save money to buy a new PC can help you later on when you will, for example, move out and live on your own abroad.
They are easy
Of course, you need to exert yourself and push yourself to the limit but remain realistic. The issue with ambitious goals is that they are usually overwhelming and sometimes even daunting. You have to be able to answer at least these two questions:
How can I accomplish this goal?
It's rather hard to answer this questions when our goals are like"I need to become a boss of the largest marketing company in my country". However, is much easier in goal like"I wish to send daily 10 cold emails more during next week to increase my earnings".
Set them as many as possible
Short-term goals are easy to track and to attain. That's why they are very satisfied and can reshape your life. Take a look at the following aims and set your own:
Take a language lesson
Buy a new publication that explains the topic you are interested in
Buy a gym membership
Purchase a workout outfit
Read one page of a book daily
Show up to work on time
I want to write this essay by next Wednesday.
Today, from 16.00 to 18.00, I will rework Chapter X an accounting guide for a preparation for the exam
As you can see it's very straightforward. Know your limitations but drive yourself also further. In short time you'll feel a great satisfaction of adding countless of bricks which will build your future.

Carhartt, Inc.
5750 Mercury Drive
Dearborn, MI 48126
Carhartt is a fifth generation, family run company that's been a part of Detroit since Carhartt's beginning.
That's why the building of this store is very sacred to everyone at Carhartt. Said owner Mark Valade (great grandson of founder Hamilton Carhartt), "We have had a long desire and need to open a store in our company's birthplace and what many of us at Carhartt consider our own hometown."
And so begins our new home at 5800 Cass Avenue. Once home to a car dealership, this Art Deco building, built by local architect Charles Agree in 1928, will open its doors at the end of August as the new Carhartt Detroit Flagship store. The original home of Marmon Motors, 5800 Cass stands at three stories, 51,000 square feet, and features an attached parking garage.
In 1889, Hamilton Carhartt started the company in a warehouse in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit with four sewing machines and a dream. 126 years later, that dream is still alive and the brand is stronger than ever. As the city of Detroit continues to experience a renaissance and rejuvenation led by small and large businesses alike, Carhartt is proud to continue to be a part of the movement to restore Detroit.
To build the store we worked with as many people from Detroit as possible. That's why we used reclaimed wood from abandoned Detroit houses to create fixtures in the store. Artists from Ponyride in Corktown built the cashwrap and concrete counters, and local Detroit artists The Golden Sign Company helped us paint a mural visible from I-94 depicting Carhatt's heritage and Detroit roots.
The Detroit store is more than just products on a shelf. It's an ode to Detroit, a true proving ground for to those who believe in hard work.

Apple's game subscription service - Apple Arcade will be launched this fall. More than 35 game's arrival with the service has been revealed. However, Apple Arcade's subscription price is yet unknown.
Gamers have several different subscription service to choose from – we have Google Stadia, Xbox One, PlayStation Now, and EA Access. But thus far, iOS users were left out of the party. This will change this fall when Apple launches its own game subscription service – Apple Arcade for iOS, Mac, and Apple TV. Apple calls it the world's first game subscription service that will give gamers access to top-quality video gaming adventures for a monthly fee.
Apple Arcade distinguishes itself from other game-streaming-subscription services that require gamers to play games online. Apple ensures that once games are downloaded, gamers can play offline as well. Once started on a device, the game can be continued on any other Apple arcade supported device. Also, gamers will have access to games found nowhere else. Apple has taken long strides to make this happen. As reported by the Financial Times, Apple has spent nearly $500 million to secure games for its service. All the games that will be available on Apple Arcade, can be eventually be released on PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch, but never on Google Play.
Moreover, Apple Arcade will have no ads or on-house purchases. One subscription will allow five other players to stream games and the company has promised to add new games on a regular basis.
Games on Apple Arcade
In its official announcement, Apple revealed that it will feature original games from creators Hironobu Sakaguchi, Ken Wong, Will Wright and dozens more. It also said that it's not just securing games – Apple is sharing development costs of games and working closely with creators to push gaming and storytelling further line never before. The Apple game subscription service will feature games from Cartoon Network, LEGO, Finji, Annapurna Interactive, Bossa Studios, Giant Squid, Klei Entertainment, Konami, Mistwalker Corporation, SEGA, Snowman, and Ustwo games. Apple will be launching Apple Arcade this fall in more than 150 countries. Apple Arcade subscription price has not yet been revealed by the company.

When Does your Baby Need Supplemental Formula of Formula Milk?
For the first six months of life, breast milk alone is the ideal food for your baby.
In case you stop breastfeeding too early, you may experience breast engorgement.
you can decide to supplement breast milk with formula milk, but you may want to wait until the baby is at least three weeks old.
It is recommended that you feed your baby the best formula milk whenever they are hungry. This is commonly known as demand feeding. Newborns will need to be formula fed after every two or three hours.
the tummies of older babies can hold more milk, a factor that stretches the feeding time to after 3 to 4 hours.
Which is the Best Formula Milk?
With the different formula milk brands available in the market, it will take time and effort to find the product that meets the needs of your little one.
The best formula milk for babies should be as close as possible to breast milk. It should also be able to meet the everyday nutritional needs of babies until they are 12 months old.
The Different Forms of Baby Formula
After settling on the brand to buy, you will need to choose the form of your preferred baby formula.
Since the three forms offer the same nutritional value, the decision on which one to buy will boil down to cost and personal preference.
- Liquid concentrate – this preparation can be poured from the holding container. Before giving it to your baby, you will have to add some water to it.
- Ready-to-use formula – although this form of formula milk is expensive, it is designed to offer you great convenience. It is not only thick and nutritionally rich but also will not require you to add water to it before feeding your baby.One of the advantages of this formula is that it rarely causes constipation.
- Powdered formula – the most economical formula milk in the market needs to be mixed with water before it can be fed to a child.In order to avoid instances of constipation, you need to mix the formula with a lot of water.
The Different Types of Formula Milk
There are 4 main types of formula milk from which you will have to choose. The choice you make should be guided by the age of your child, whether they have allergies and their nutritional needs.
- Cow's milk-based formula – this type of formula milk is based on modified cow's milk. There are two main types of this kind of formula milk: first milk and milk for hungry babies.While
first milk is designed for babies below the age of one, milk for hungry babies is meant to keep your baby full for longer.
There is also a special type for premature babies.
- Goat's milk-based formula – goat's milk formula and cow's milk formula have the same nutritional standards.However,
goat's milk cannot be used as an alternative to cow's milk formula if your baby is allergic to the proteins in cow's milk.
This is because goat's milk contains similar proteins as those in cow's milk.
- Hydrolyzed protein formula – this type of formula milk is designed for babies who have allergic reactions or intolerance to cow's milk. The milk is lactose-free to make it easy for your baby's digestive system to break them down and avoid constipation.
- Soya-based formula –
As the name suggests,
this formula is made from soya beans.
Although it is modified with minerals, vitamins, and nutrients, you should only give it to baby on the advice of your doctor.
If your baby is sensitive to cow's milk, there is a good chance that they will be sensitive to soy too.
How to Choose the Best Formula Milk for Babies
Although choosing the best formula milk for babies may seem like an overwhelming undertaking, it does not have to be difficult.
By keeping several factors in mind, you will be able to choose the most appropriate baby formula for your child's nutritional needs and healthy development.
- Organic Baby Formula Milk: Choosing organic over conventional formula will help to reduce exposure to traces of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, genetically modified ingredients, growth hormones and other artificial substances. While some organic baby formula milk may contain yucky ingredients, they tend to be a safer alternative.
- Essential Fatty Acids: When choosing the best formula milk for babies, it is recommended that you settle to the one that is closest to breast milk. This will ensure that the daily nutritional needs of your baby are met effectively.While
some formulas will claim to have essential fatty acids such as DHA and ARA, some of these oils are extracted using neurotoxic hexane.
You should ensure that the naturally occurring healthy fats in breast milk will benefit your baby.
- The Type of Formula Milk: There are four different types of formula milk, a factor that makes it important to choose the one that is most appropriate for your little one. Soy formula is made from highly processed soybeans. The chemical alteration that the beans go through makes the formula milk very dissimilar to natural breast milk. That is why soy formula should only be fed to your baby if the little one suffers from dairy intolerance or when recommended by a doctor.
- The Form of the Formula Milk: There are different forms of formula milk in the market, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. While your choice will boil down to personal preference, you should pick the preparation that offers you convenience without compromising on nutritional value.
- Additional Synthetic Nutrients: Some formula milk for babies contain synthetic nutrients that are not only illegal but my affect the health and development of your baby. When choosing the best formula milk for your little one, you should look out for the harmful synthetic nutrients.
- The Type of Sugar: Since human breast milk is naturally sweet, some formula milk will try to mimic what is found in breast milk by adding sugars. With the high prices associated with cow's milk-based sweeteners, some manufacturers opt to use artificial sweeteners. Most of the artificial sweeteners can lead to conditions like obesity and overfeeding.This is why you should settle on baby formula milk that does not contain plant-based sweeteners.

Wave after wave of strong storms dumped torrential rainfall on already soaked ground, flooding some roadways Friday around Lubbock and across much of the South Plains.
Widespread rainfall totals above 2 inches were reported, with some areas seeing close to 4 inches for the day by late Friday, according to the National Weather Service in Lubbock and the West Texas Mesonet weather observation system.
And there's a significant chance for more rain and thunderstorms through Memorial Day on Monday.
By just after 9 p.m. Friday, about 2.9 inches of rain was reported for the day at Lubbock Preston Smith International Airport. Other areas saw more, including 3.86 inches at Reese Center, 3.85 at Abernathy, 3.78 at Ralls and 3.68 at Roaring Springs, according to West Texas Mesonet totals.
Water-covered roadways were reported across the region, including on Interstate 27 around New Deal and State Highway 114 near Levelland.
In Lubbock, high water prompted officials to barricade Milwaukee Avenue from Erskine Avenue north to the city limits, the city announced early Friday evening. North Milwaukee will only be open to residential traffic only until further notice.
Earlier Friday, more Lubbock roads and parking lots were impacted by high water, including 114th Street and Indiana Avenue, and 34th Street and Quaker Avenue, but those intersections were back to normal operations by just before 8 p.m.
Drivers are urged to avoid water-covered roadways and can check the latest road conditions through the Texas Department of Transportation website, drivetexas.org.
A flood watch remained in effect for the South Plains, Rolling Plains and southeast Panhandle through 7 a.m. Saturday.
But rain chances are expected to continue through Monday, with a 40 percent chance Saturday and Sunday, continuing into the overnight hours Monday morning, according to the weather service.

If you've had the unfortunate task of calling for a bedbug exterminator, the guy or gal that shows up at your door could be the next Jake Gyllenhaal or Anne Hathaway. An odd article from the Wall Street Journal identifies struggling actors as prime candidates to be bedbug exterminators.
The never ending supply of actors will always fill the void when work is to be done and this year the surge in reports of bedbugs and the need to exterminate them has been on the rise in NYC.
Some of these actors/bedbug exterminators feel they can hone their craft while speaking with clients and maintaining a sense of decorum as they know there are bedbugs to be spotted anywhere in the apartment.
Our question for bedbug exterminators is, do you change clothes and shower at work each day before heading home? Bedbugs can travel via clothes, bags, shoes. How can you be certain you aren't bringing bedbugs into your own home. Not a pleasant thought.
[via Wall Street Journal]

An eye-for-details activity
I'm working on a mini-course, so I'll be posting some of the activities here. The activities are intended for a range of writers, though seasoned veterans may not be interested. Again, I'll be using this site to park some of my works. Here is the short, non-narrated activity.

At the end of the autumn sittings, on 29 March, the Manager of Opposition Business asked me a question in relation to a Senate Committee of Privileges report on 'Search warrants and the Senate'. I undertook to report back to the House in response after I had time to consider the Senate report and any aspects of relevance for this House.
As the Member referred, the Senate committee considered that the execution of certain warrants may have had the effect of interfering with the duties of a senator, and with the functions of the parliament more broadly. To address this, the committee concluded that there was a requirement for remedial action in relation to the AFP national guideline for the execution of search warrants where parliamentary privilege may be involved. The committee stated further that it would be addressing this issue in its inquiry into intrusive powers.
As the AFP national guideline was developed jointly by the House and Senate committees of privileges, some years ago, I would consider that the House Committee of Privileges and Members' Interests should also involve itself in any reconsideration of the guideline. I will leave it for the House Committee to determine how best it might involve itself in the matter.
I do not propose to respond further on this matter.
