Cavallo Building
I've seen a few design trends for the year 2019. Some have been trending for a couple of years now but are still current. One of them is stained white cedar perfection siding with black windows. I'd say 75 percent of the homes we built this year had the combination of both or one or the other. Another trend I see are the hardwood floors being finished natural. This is typically a wide plank white oak floor sanded with a satin water-based polyurethane on top. Another design feature I've been seeing on the comeback is brass hardware — not a shiny finish like the past but a brushed, toned down look. Perhaps that will be the big 2020 trend!

Along with an overall preference for modern homes over traditional style (a trend that's been on the rise for years now), we've seen increasing interest in fully integrated "smart homes." Today, you can control everything from your utilities to your refrigerator's temperature right from your phone and the technology can be hard-wired into the home during construction. We just finished a contemporary home in Sag Harbor with all the bells and whistles — lights, AV system, surveillance, door locks, heating and AC — everything governed by electricity can be adjusted from anywhere — even on vacation! It's wonderfully convenient and more important, super-efficient too!

Today's buyers who are building are very interested in energy efficiency. The new buzzword is net positive, meaning that the homes are saving the energy they're capturing via solar panels and banking that energy onsite to use for their own needs . . . zero carbon footprint. There is surging interest is in the new residential Tesla Power Wall. Buyers value reliability, so residential generators for back-up have become popular over the past few years. Along those lines of practical choices, buyers consider purchasing more expensive exterior siding material where the maintenance costs prove less over time.

The biggest design trends that we are seeing in 2019 have to do with more modern details, in and out. All the bathrooms have full stone or porcelain slabs on the walls and floors instead of tile, or very large tiles that are 24 x 48 inches or greater. Most showers are curbless and have long linear drains instead of the traditional center drain.
We are also getting more and more requests for outside kitchens with all the bells and whistles. It's not just a BBQ, a small refrigerator, and sink anymore. The kitchens now have pizza ovens, ice machines, a gas grill, as well as a charcoal grill or smoker. Outside living is in, with larger windows and doors that open up the inside to the outside. It is clear that bringing the inside out, and the outside in is what's trending now and, in my opinion, will continue to grow.

CP Complete
The biggest building trend that CP Complete has seen in 2019 is the desire to increase interior and exterior livable space in existing homes. Many of our clients have chosen to renovate instead of starting new home construction. Select second homeowners in the Hamptons have already built or purchased their dream house. Extended families and friends have become very comfortable; but they need more space.
"Moving the inside out" is a popular trend. Pavilions or pool houses with all the amenities that you would find inside the house have become extremely popular. Outdoor TVs, kitchens, bathrooms, and showers have become the "go-to" additions.
Another way to increase livable space is to finish the basement. With the proper space in an existing home, we have built several code compliant luxury finished basements. Adding a bathroom, playroom, bedroom, gym and/or media center has become a trend that shows every sign of continuing. Not only do these trends increase the enjoyment of your home, they also increase the value.

We have put to use creatively using natural materials, and leaving them natural. Not just on floors. We've been implementing this on millwork details, paneled walls, office spaces, wine rooms and cellars, and libraries with a modern take on wood. Rather than paint or stain millwork to achieve a sort of color, we've had huge success leaving the natural surface and look as is.

A second high-ranking official in Colorado's Judicial Department has resigned amid a Denver Post investigation into the details of a $2.5 million contract awarded to the department's former chief of staff.
Chief Administrative Officer Eric Brown resigned Friday effective Aug. 3 for unspecified reasons. He received a letter from acting State Court Administrator Steven Vasconcellos not to come to work and to schedule a time to clear out his office at the Ralph Carr Judicial Center in downtown Denver, according to copies of the correspondence obtained by The Post.
Brown was the department's human resources director when he recommended the five-year contract to provide leadership training be awarded to his former boss, Mindy Masias. Masias resigned March 19 following a four-month medical leave and Brown made the recommendation March 20. A few months before her leave, State Court Administrator Christopher Ryan disciplined her over concerns about altered expense receipts. Judicial auditors later found additional problems.
Ryan resigned on Thursday a day after canceling the contract with The Leadership Practice, a company Masias formed in January. Though dozens of companies nationwide showed interest, none actually bid.
Before becoming chief of staff, the third highest-ranking administrative job in the department, Masias was its human resources director and Brown's supervisor.
Masias and Brown spoke in February at the National Association of Court Management's mid-year conference in Little Rock, Ark.. They presented a program about having a drama-free work environment.

Resolving large scale buffer management challenges
Hosted by: Brandy Sargent
In this podcast and accompanying article, we interviewed Joakim Lundvist, Modality Manager, BioProcess™ Hardware, GE Healthcare about large-scale buffer management challenges. Buffer preparation is known to be one of the most resource-intensive activities in biomanufacturing as large volumes of buffers and process liquids are often required. So how can this be done in a more efficient way? How can more capacity be added to buffer preparation without adding major capital investment? Are there ways to reduce the manufacturing footprint and time spent on buffers?
We examined the biggest challenges in buffer management and explored how technologies like inline conditioning can provide possible solutions.
Joakim Lundkvist has a Master's Degree in Chemical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. He joined GE Healthcare's Life Sciences business in 2000 and has held various roles; R&D staff research engineer, service specialist manager, marketing manager and currently holds a position as the leader for the Biomanufacturing equipment sales specialist team in Europe within GE Healthcare.
Show Notes:
We began the interview by discussing what inline conditioning is and how it can improve buffer management. Joakim explained that with inline conditioning, instead of making your buffer in the traditional way, by making it in the volume needed, you separate the individual components of the buffer, for example Acetic acid, NaAc, NaCl and water into separate stock solutions. The system then mixes these components in the required amounts, just in time, when buffer is needed. One of the benefits of the technology is that you can use the same stock solutions to make many different buffers of for example different buffer strength or pH depending on the relative portions of each component.
I then asked how inline conditioning differs from the concept of inline dilution. Joakim described how inline conditioning really takes the technology one step further. Inline dilution is a technology that works with a concentrated buffer of approximately the same composition as the final buffer, which is diluted with WFI to yield the final buffer. The concentrated solution needs to contain all the components of the final buffer and the pH has to be adjusted. Therefore, you need to prepare as many concentrates as you have unique buffers. You do save floor space as the concentrates are smaller in volume, but there is not the benefit of using the same concentrate for several buffers as with inline conditioning. Another thing to remember is that, when you dilute a buffer the pKa value typically shifts, meaning your concentrate needs to be adjusted for this shift. This will not be the case when you handle single component concentrates which are the input for inline conditioning. Inline dilution still has its place and is a good solution when you have a limited number of buffers or many different buffer components. And also typically when volumes are small to moderate. It is also important to note that inline conditioning can be used as an inline dilution system if there is a need.
We then discussed the main drivers for implementing this technology. One of the main drivers that Joakim shared is the ability to make fewer stock solutions than the buffers needed and in significantly smaller volumes. This enables the use of single-use bags. You also don't have to adjust pH of the stock solution, as we mentioned earlier. All this combined means that you can save on facility space and remove all big tanks for buffer prep and storage. This provides a significant CapEx savings. It also takes considerably less time to make the stock solutions compared to buffers, which reduces the need for operators and also simplifies the logistics and handling of buffers.
I followed up with a question about limitations of the technology. Joakim stated that there are not really any limitations and it is possible to use the technology in most situations. The inline conditioning system is very flexible, so you can use a combination of techniques, including using final 1x buffers, inline dilution or breaking up the components into single component concentrates, all at the same time. Gradients are also straight forward with inline conditioning.
We then touched on flexibility and the different ways to implement inline conditioning. Joakim explained how it can be integrated in the unit operation or used as a standalone central buffer preparation station, a buffer kitchen, to provide the entire facility with buffers.
Next I asked about how you can be sure that the machine is preparing the buffers correctly, especially since having the right buffers are so important to successful purification. Joakim described how each customer buffer is made using control modes, which ensure that the mixing of components is controlled through advanced algorithms that regulate the flow of each component. The output is monitored through an independent set of monitors that essentially do an online release of the buffer. If the buffer is outside specifications the buffer is diverted to drain. With this you get all your buffer data as part of your result file and your process records, making it very simple to review. One other detail is that this system always aim to the specification, while traditional buffers typically are made to be inside specifications. There are also tests to do to verify that the correct stock solution is connected and connected to the correct inlet.
Last, I asked Joakim to summarize what he saw as the 3 key take aways from our discussion.
Joakim stated that first you can potentially reduce the buffer volumes to prepare, store and handle quite significantly. This leads to smaller footprints, smaller tanks and less labor. Many users can transition completely to single-use bags. It saves companies money, both on the CapEx and Opex sides.
Second, that the technology is flexible and can allow a wide range of buffers to be made using the same limited number of stock concentrates.
Third, that you can improve the control of you process due to the constant feedback inside the system, maintaining and checking that all parameters are inside specifications.
And if someone is interested, please contact your local sales representative and they will guide you through the process of finding out if inline conditioning is a good fit for your process.

Counselling & Psychotherapy
It is often asked what the difference between counselling and psychotherapy is - counselling tends be more focused work over a shorter time frame whereas psychotherapy is often seen as longer, deeper, and more explorative on-going work, dealing with an array of issues and problems, and the two can overlap considerably.
Therapy provides a confidential and focused space for you to share difficult and painful experiences; gain insight into how those past experiences impact on your present and future, and help find ways forward towards self-healing and change through acceptance, growth and emotional/cognitive understanding.
Whether you plan to embark on a long or short term therapeutic journey, the relationship between therapist and client is key. Between you and I, our aim will be to develop a strong working relationship and sense of togetherness. You'll be able to trust that I can treat your issues and concerns with compassion, sensativity and understanding whilst exploring potentially difficult or painful areas of your life.
Student Mentoring
If you are a university student or a parent looking for additional help for your child at school GCSE or A-Level, then private mentoring could be useful for you too.
I currently work as a specialist mentor at a local university, helping students with mental health difficulties work with planning, structure, organisation, timetabling, referencing and utilising their skills to become more autonomous and self-empowered.
There are times when we can allow projects to fall off our radar and not hand work in on time through embarrassment of 'not-knowing' how to complete it.
There are times when we can ignore projects for similar reasons; become too embarrassed to ask for help when we think we should know better; become distracted by the demands of University life or that much longed-for last year at school; become overwhelmed by the amount of coursework on our hands; not know how to get the best out of the time that is available to us or simply get hit by the unpredictability of life that makes studying a secondary consideration, feeling lost as a result, not knowing how to get back on track.
Private mentoring is aimed at all students that might need a little extra help understanding the process of education to enable them to get the best out of themselves and their studies.
If you feel that mentoring could be a benefit, then please enquire for more information about how it could help you. Mentoring sessions last 60 minutes and like therapy, are scheduled weekly in order to build trust, regularity and familiarity.
The length of the mentoring plan is entirely in your hands however I would recommend a minimum of 6 sessions for any work between us to become fully utilised. If you have any questions about mentoring please get in touch to see how it might work best for you or your child.
Couples Therapy
Embarking on couples therapy can often feel like the last resort.
You may find yourself arguing frequently; blaming each other for things that go wrong, or feel like there is little in common between you as perhaps there once was. Couples therapy is about bringing two, often isolated individuals within the relationship, together. You may feel that the differences between you are the only thing that you notice and finding similarities would be almost impossible. Couples therapy helps to provide you with a better way to argue; a better level of communication between you so that you can both find a way to hear each other's differences without feeling personally attacked or isolated from each other. Respect, empathy and understanding are the keys to making a troubled relationship valuable once again.
Sometimes, couples may visit to see if their relationship is worth saving, or if going separate ways is the best thing for both parties. Either way, therapy will help you both see your part in your relationship, enabling you to make better choices about how you relate with each other and communicate as a couple.

King's Bay Terminates Newfoundland Mining Project
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2019 / King's Bay Resources Corp. (TSX-V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), (the "Company") announces that that it has terminated the mineral property acquisition agreement for its Lynx Lake project in Newfoundland and Labrador. Pursuant to the 2016 acquisition agreement for the property, if the Company decides to abandon the claims it acquired, it is obligated to transfer the claims back to the original vendors. In the termination agreement, the Company has agreed to the transfer of all the remaining claims to the prior owners, without further obligations regarding the property or the claims.
Since February, 2018, the Company has been considering business opportunities outside of the resource sector (see February 8, 2018 Company news release), and particularly in the cannabis industry. On March 29, 2019, the Company announced that it had entered into an arm's length agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of S&S Company, LLC ("S&S"), which owns and operates the licensed S&S California cannabis production and extraction lab, with immediate plans for expansion with high-capacity extraction and distillation under the brand name Elicit Labs (see March 29, 2019 Company news release for more details).
The Company has limited resources and has decided to expend all its time and resources towards getting the S&S acquisition completed. The Lynx Lake project requires expenditure of time and Company resources, which the directors have determined are better spent on completing the S&S acquisition and focus on the Company's new business going forward. The Company's stock remains halted pending closing of the S&S Acquisition and the Company will not come back to trading on the TSX Venture Exchange. An application will be made to list the Company's shares for trading on the CSE in conjunction with the S&S closing.

The Colorado Department of Transportation remains persistent in fighting marijuana-impaired driving, holding a workshop and open house Tuesday, May 21, at the University of Denver to address the issue.
The goal of CDOT's ongoing series of public and stakeholder discussions, the Cannabis Conversation, is to gather input on the perception of marijuana-impaired driving and receive feedback on recent and potential advertising concepts. CDOT has teamed with the marijuana industry and dispensaries to educate pot consumers about the dangers of stoned driving, and the organization has attended concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and the 4/20 Fly High Festival to gather more public input.
Two split sessions took place at the most recent workshop, with stakeholders in the pot industry and impaired-driving awareness groups suggesting around fifty questions CDOT should help the public answer about marijuana use. Stakeholders then voted to narrow the pool down to five questions before the public open house.
After the votes were tallied, the five questions on marijuana were:
Marijuana Deals Near You
- What research should be done on a federal, state and academic level about marijuana?
- What alternatives are there instead of driving while high?
- How to teach children about marijuana-impaired driving through education campaigns.
- How to provide more information to the public about marijuana impairment and consumption methods.
- How the marijuana industry and related organizations can create a unified message about impaired driving.
During the open house, CDOT communications manager Sam Cole and Kristi Kelly, executive director of trade organization Marijuana Industry Group, gave opening remarks on how CDOT and marijuana industries have shared priorities to raise awareness on marijuana-impaired driving.
"This is the industry and the government working together to raise a new awareness campaign," Kelly noted.
After the opening remarks were given, attendees were able to write responses to the five questions raised earlier by stakeholders and vote on which advertising concepts would be the most effective.
Suggestions from the public included adding a curriculum about marijuana-impaired driving in public schools, starting at seventh grade, as well as more information on the differences between edibles and vaporizers; other suggestions noted the risks women could face if they're alone in a ride share or public transportation while high.

Support Our Journalism
According to CDOT, the responses impact how future awareness campaigns are crafted. However, the next campaign concepts are already done, and were presented to the public after the feedback session.
The first concept, "Twice as Likely," reminds cannabis users that they are around twice as likely to crash while driving high. "Don't Ruin It for Everyone" equates marijuana-impaired driving to everyday situations where something is ruined, like giving away the ending of a movie. The affectionately named "Backseat Stoners" shows how consumers can stay safe and still enjoy marijuana in the back seat of a ride share or cab instead of behind the wheel, while "Uncomfortable High" shows the risk of using marijuana before work, with a surgeon as the example.
"Using what we learned in 2018, CDOT is now working with our partners and the public to identify solutions for how we can keep Colorado's roads safe in an environment with prominent routine marijuana use. We're also using what we learned to design a comprehensive public awareness campaign for 2020 aimed at reducing drug-impaired driving, which will be honed and evaluated based on feedback from the public," reads a description of the campaign on CDOT's website.
CDOT is also gathering more feedback on potential campaigns and public perception about impaired driving through an online survey.

The case study is performed on AVL Textile Company to find out the difference in product costs resulted from the company's traditional cost management system and newly implemented ABC (Activity Based Costing) system. AVL Textile Company is Pakistan company that produces wool and polyester products. AVL Textile used Absorption Costing as the traditional cost management method. To analyze the difference between results generated from Absorption Costing and ABC system, calculation for five products was done using the two methods and results were compared. The authors thoroughly evaluated both systems. They found Absorption Costing is not a sufficient tool for the company's situation, while ABC system can be successfully implemented for cost analysis. The cost of product calculated from traditional method is much lower than the one from ABC method.
The Benefits of ABC
ABC helps manager to gather correct information from each cost driver and produce results with high accuracy. The magnitude of ABC is to calculate based on different cost drivers of the activities demanded by each department such as production, services and sales, and generate a sum of cost of all resources. Comparing with traditional method allocating cost of service to production department, ABC method increases the accuracy of the cost analysis in a great extent. With accurate and detail data of activity usage provided by ABC system, management is able to implement effective decision on cost control. If available resource is higher than activity usage, management should cut down unused resources. On the other hand, if available supply is less than activity usage, increasing the supply must be considered.
The problems in implementation of ABC
A big problem that AVL Textile encountered during implantation of ABC is that the full-time availability of employees. As a company with 21% of hourly employees, resistance of employees from working full time hours remained a challenge during the implementation. With the right cost calculated from ABC, the sales require a cushion time period to kick off the new price and get sales on track.
What kinds of companies can benefit from ABC
ABC can be beneficial for the companies like AVL Textile that has low diversity of products and low overhead cost ratio.
What kinds of companies have little to gain from ABC
Limitation of ABC system exists in the companies with standard product lines where the main cost is the direct cost. For example, professional service companies with large labour cost and a high degree of product diversity. Due to unbalanced activity usage for products, activity usage will not be accurate and proportionate to the output volume. I
What potential pitfalls are there to avoid in implementing ABC Assumptions and limitations of ABC must be well understood. ABC is not considered the most accurate tool as it involves subjective cost allocations. Moreover, it assumes the absolute liner relationship between resources consumption and activities, while it is not possible in reality.

With the number of elite high school programs and AAU club teams multiplying exponentially every year, high school recruits now have options upon options regarding where to play and who to play with. As a result, highly rated prospects annually switching teams during the winter or summer months has become the norm. Yet for a pair of five-star senior guards out of New Jersey, this trend has had no impact on their journeys. Scottie Lewis and Bryan Antoine are the longest tenured star duo in high school hoops.
"Absolutely! Of all time!" says Lewis when asked if he's part of the best duo in basketball. "We've lasted the longest. Can't no one say they've been together longer. It's like seven years now."
Starring at the Ranney School, located just a few miles off the Jersey Shore in Monmouth County, the pair has brought into the national spotlight a program that wasn't on anyone's hoops radar prior to their arrival.
Just recently, both blue chippers, ranked among the top 15 recruits in the Class of 2019, announced their college decisions—signaling an end to their historic run sharing the court together at Ranney and with the Team Rio program during AAU season.
Lewis, a 6-5 guard, committed to the Florida Gators after also holding offers from the likes of Kentucky, Arizona and Kansas, among the dozens of other scholarships on the table. He ultimately chose Gainesville over Lexington.
Antoine, also a 6-5 guard, committed to Villanova in September after listing Duke, Florida, Kentucky and Kansas among his other final options. According to ESPN, he's the highest-rated recruit to commit to the Wildcats since Corey Fisher, a member of the Class of 2007, did so over a decade ago.
The duo helped lead Ranney to a 28-5 record last season while reaching the Non-Public A championship, winning the Shore Conference Tournament and sectional playoff title (both achievements were a first in school history) and finishing ranked second in the state.
The Antoine-Lewis tag team show hasn't just garnered attention for the results on the court. The jovial pair has also figured out how to stay in the moment and enjoy the experience they've created.
"Every game, we try to approach it as serious as possible, but the moment the ball tips off and Scottie takes the ball down the lane and dunks on somebody and everyone turns around hyped and screaming—that point is a balance of being serious and having fun," Antoine says.
"I think that's when it's really going to hit us—when we have that first practice and Bryan is not there and I'm not there for him," Lewis says of the pair's inevitable split. "But we've been to so many camps [where] we haven't been on the same team and we've practiced with new guys and faces, so I think that has kind of prepared us for that next level and being used to not having each other there."
Antoine and Lewis are just the latest names on a long list of Jersey natives putting on for the Garden State on the national level in recent years. Just last season, NJ was home to three of the top 25 recruits in the Class of 2018.
Despite being a dynamic one-two punch and displaying an indestructible chemistry on and off the hardwood—which is even more evident when at times they finish each other sentences during our sit-down interview—the two hold vastly contrasting personalities and approaches to the game.
Lewis sees himself as more of the vocal leader and spends most of the time playing off the ball and doing a little bit of everything, while Antoine is more of the soft-spoken assassin and the primary ball handler and scorer. While Antoine has more of a laid-back, glass is half full mentality, Lewis admits losing isn't something he deals with well.
Antoine averaged 21.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.5 steals and 0.8 blocks per game last season. Throughout his career at Ranney, he's averaged over 20 points (20.7) per, piling up 1,745 points in 84 games.
Although today he is touted as one of the elite scorers in America, at one point in Antoine's life, it was the diamond and not the hardwood that appeared to be his calling.
"When I was 4, I started playing basketball, but when I moved to New Jersey [from Florida] I don't know why but I started finding baseball so intriguing," Antoine says. "For like three or four years, that's all I did. I trained. I played every position but I was mainly first base because I was a tall kid and had a long reach. But I ended up picking up basketball and everything blew up from there."
Lewis has also surpassed 1,000 career points at Ranney but is known for filling up the stat sheet beyond just the points column, averaging 16.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks last season.
A two-sport athlete, Lewis is also part of the track and field team at Ranney, where he says he's run the 100 meters at a personal-best 10.6 seconds—which he says is the school record. He also runs the 200m, this year started running the 400 and does the high jump.
Lewis' goal heading into college is the same as most kids in his position: to win a National Championship.
Heading into November, Florida had the fourth-best recruiting class for next season, according to ESPN. The Gators have already secured commitments from three top-40 prospects and are looking to add more.
Antoine is heading into a Villanova program that has won the National Championship twice in the past three seasons and has become the clear-cut top program in the legendary Big East Conference. Yet he isn't approaching his college goals in the same manner we've come to expect for players of his stature.
"For achievements for next year, mine are a little more different than winning a national championship," Antoine says. "I have the pleasure to be coached by Jay Wright and the stuff that he's done to his players over the course of three-to-four years—they've turned out to be a finished product [that] he envisioned when he first started recruiting them. So I'd say my achievement for next year is to just soak up everything he has to tell me and learn from everything he has to teach me. I feel like if I listen to him and I pay attention to what he's saying then hopefully if the whole team does the same we could probably end up winning a national championship."
But before they take over college hoops on their own, they still have one more season together in which to add accolades and historic feats to their résumés. The two have already left their prints on a community that up to this point hasn't been known for elite hoops talent. And it's that kind of effect that the duo hopes to have on an even larger scale moving forward.
"I think we've been a lot more driven than motivated," Lewis says. "I saw a quote one time that said, 'Never be motivated but always be driven.' Because an artist is always motivated—it could take them one year [to] do a painting, but that motivation only lasts however so long, and when you're driven that's skin-deep, that's in your heart and mind, and so that's something that lasts forever. I think we've been more driven than anything to be able to express and use our platform and voice to affect people near us and far."

I've been designing swaps for Ann to take to the Stampin' Up! Greek Isles Cruise soon. We chose the Daisy Lane stamp set as the one that we'll be doing with all the other demonstrators.
Ann will drop 26 cards off (all the same style) and then before the cruise is over, she'll pick up 25 different cards from other demonstrators who will be on the cruise.
Daisy Lane Bundle
We originally had it with a plain Melon Mambo front, but thought it would be nicer with a peek-a-boo front – one where you can peek inside without opening it.
Do you think they'll like it? I hope so!
We've finished the swaps, but we're behind on our art to share with you here on the blog.
Perhaps from time to time, I might share some pictures Ann will send back from their visits to London and the Greek Isles. (They're staying one night by the Rome Airport so I don't think we'll see much from that.)
Would you like that?
We'll be using the Daisy Lane Bundle when we do a Cards and a Cup on Thursday, July 18th. You can pick your time when you register here. Sign up for any time 11-3p. You'll have until 4pm to finish your projects, but it should only take you about an hour even if you – like Ann – are a slow stamper.

Our role
More than you think
The provision of life saving emergency call-taking and dispatch for all Victorians requires dedicated professional people and sophisticated technical systems.
Emergency call-taking and dispatch is at the heart of what ESTA does.
ESTA's Triple zero call-takers are on the phone with callers when emergency help is needed most, through a broad range of situations. ESTA dispatchers relay critical situational and safety information to the emergency services and get units to the scene. The instructions, scene safety advice, and first aid care these people provide make a real difference to the lives of Victorians across some 7000 calls a day.
In 2018-19, ESTA answered 2,605,574 calls for assistance, representing a call every 12 seconds or an average of 7100 a day. The total number of events dispatched were 2,232,116 an average of more than 6100 each day.
|ESTA is one of the few emergency communications agencies in the world that manages communications for the full range of emergency service providers.
Supporting this effort, technology upgrades have been implemented or put in train across all of ESTA's operational communications services. This reflects State Government investment in these important emergency services and translates into tangible call-taking and dispatch improvements for the community, as well as better mobile data, radio and paging services for emergency services agencies.

Why to buy Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cordless High-End Vacuum Cleaner :
The Dyson Digital Motor V10
Big machine suction power. But with cord-free versatility. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cord-Free Vacuum has a 40% bigger bin than our previous Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum for the big cleans. The torque drive cleaner head removes 25% more dust from carpets than our previous Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum. It's our most powerful cleaner head yet. The soft roller cleaner head removes fine dust and large debris from hard floors. Has three power modes to choose from, to suit any task on any floor type. The Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cord-Free Vacuum quickly transforms to a handheld for quick clean ups, spot cleaning and cleaning difficult places.
Drives More Dirt From Carpets
The Torque drive cleaner head our most powerful yet. Removes 25% more dust from carpets (when in MAX Suction mode). With a DC motor housed within the brush bar, it transfers torque more efficiently, to dig bristles deeper into carpet and dislodge more dirt. Provides up to 20 minutes of fade-free run-time (in Suction mode II). Engineered with soft woven nylon and anti-static carbon fiber, for hard floors. Provides up to 40 minutes of fade-free run-time (in Suction mode I)
14 Cyclones
14 cyclones generate forces of more than 79,000g to fling microscopic particles such as pollen and bacteria into the bin. The seven-cell, nickel-cobalt-aluminum battery has the fade-free power to clean here, there and everywhere around your home. The most powerful suction of any cord-free vacuum.
Up To 60 Minutes Of Fade-Free Power
Powerful suction to clean anywhere. Up to 20 minutes with Torque drive cleaner head (in Suction mode II) and up to 40 minutes with Soft roller cleaner head (Suction mode I). Designed to allow you to maximize cleaning time by only using battery power when you need it.
'Point And Shoot' Hygienic Bin Emptying
The 'point and shoot' mechanism hygienically ejects dust and debris deep into your bin, in one action – so there's no need to touch the dirt. Designed to absorb vibrations and dampen sound, to keep sound levels down. The motor, bin and cyclone are aligned, so air is drawn into the cyclones in a straight line creating 20% more suction power than the Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner.
Dyson claims that the V10 filters as a whole machine 99.97% of the particles bigger than 0.3 microns. That's HEPA grade. You can twist off the filter. Also, the filter is fully washable and is easy to clean. The system will only run when the filter is placed. Make sure you dry it first after washing it. That being said, in most cases the cyclones will do the job so you won't need to access the filter too often anyway. Once every 6 months or so is enough.
The battery of the V10 is made out of blend between nickel, cobalt and aluminum. It allows around 60 minutes of moderate continuous usage (using a non-motorized head – meaning that this is measured when used as a handheld). With the fluffy or the direct torque head, it can run for 40 minutes in Suction mode 1. Charging the battery takes about 3-4 hours. The charging process is enhanced by the docking station.
Combination tool: Two tools in one, for simple switching between surfaces. Crevice tool: Designed for precise cleaning around edges and narrow gaps. Mini motorized tool: Motorized brush bar tackles hair and ground-in dirt, in tight spaces. Mini soft dusting brush: With soft nylon bristles to clean delicate surfaces and fabrics.

The following is an excerpted report from Elisa Alcabes (my niece), a lawyer with a big Wall Street firm, who, as part of her pro bono work, had the opportunity to visit and view some of the proceedings at Gitmo, the U.S. detention center on the island of Cuba.
"I am a new member of the Military Affairs & Justice Committee of COMAJ. I jointed the committee because of my work with disabled veterans, who I have represented on a pro bono basis before the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. I am currently engaged in reform litigation on behalf of the massive number of veterans waiting inordinate amounts of time for the VA to resolve their appeals of the denial of disability benefits.
"I did not expect to visit Guantanamo Bay. It was never on my mind. I was generally aware of the detention center, the horror stories, and the fact that some detainees were being tried, including those alleged to have planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks. I attended my first COMAJ meeting in January 2018. It was eye-opening. They needed a volunteer to attend Gitmo in February. My hand shot up. This was an opportunity to witness history in a remote place that had been the subject of so much controversy that seemed compelling.
"I was going to be attending pre-trial proceedings in the Hadi case. I knew nothing about Abd al Hadi or the military commissions. I gave myself a crash course in both, using resources provided by the coordinator for the observer missions for COMAJ, news articles written by Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald, who is a constant at GTMO, and the considerable amount of material available online about the proceedings and the detainees. I deliberately steered clear of detailed commentary about the wisdom of holding the proceedings at Guantanamo and the issues involved. I wanted to travel there with a clean slate, an open mind.
"First, my impressions and experiences:
"The island is beautiful—stunning really. Rolling hills dip down to rocky, peaceful beaches. There are few people around and vast expanses of empty space. The sunsets are breathtaking, turning the sky a deep orange-pink-blue. Windmill Beach is the largest of the beaches. It's a rocky, gravelly beach that spreads out in a curve and is punctuated by small cliffs on either side. On one of the cliffs sits a gate and gatehouse—apparently the entrance to the detention center.
"There were five NGO representatives on my trip, all deeply engaged in the process and eager to watch the Hadi hearings unfold. Three representatives were law students—one held a PhD in political geography, another was a former U.S. Marine, and the third, a former physical therapy student seeking a joint business/law degree. A fourth representative was a professor at the University of Southern California. I was the NGO representative with litigation experience.
"Hadi is accused of serving as a high-level al-Qaeda commander who, among other things, allegedly led and executed lethal attacks on U.S. forces in Afghanistan, funded suicide bombings, and ordered roadside bomb attacks. One of his defenses is that he is not Hadi but, rather, someone named Nashwan al Tamir. In other words, he is not who the government says he is. The week I observed Hadi's military commission proceeding, the key issue was a recorded deposition provided by Ahmed al Darbi, another detainee. Darbi had reached a plea agreement with the government and was about to board a plane to travel back to Saudi Arabia to finish out his sentence. During this deposition in August 2017, Darbi identified Hadi as a former al-Qaeda commander. Darbi was now being treated as a cooperating witness. He was due to take the stand in the Hadi case to be cross-examined by Hadi's defense team.
"The Hadi case is not a death case, which makes it somewhat easier to proceed. His defense team is comprised of military and civilian lawyers, highly skilled, experienced and effective advocates.
"On Day 1, we toured the courtroom facilities. No proceedings were in session. My first impression: How can we—the United States of America—expect to portray ourselves as a country of laws when we have built this courtroom in a remote location off the mainland in the backyard of a detention center notorious for torturing terrorists? I was willing to keep an open mind, though. I had promised myself I would not judge right away.
"On Day 2, there was a Sunday session. A witness took the stand. He was a neurosurgeon. They called him "Neuro 1" because he did not want to disclose his name. The week before I arrived, Hadi's defense team argued that Hadi was physically incapable of attending court—because he was suffering the after-effects of four recent back surgeries and may need further surgery. The military judge—Marine Colonel Peter S. Rubin—refused to make a determination regarding Hadi's ability to sit in court without first hearing a medical opinion. Judge Rubin directed a doctor who recently treated Hadi to attend the hearing and provide testimony. The doctor did not show up, essentially claiming that he was too busy with patients. Reading between the lines, he had not treated Hadi for a sufficient amount of time to provide an opinion.
"Back to Neuro 1. He was obviously reluctant to disclose his name because he was about to tell the court that Hadi was medically cleared to attend the hearings. Yes, he might need surgery at some point in the future, but he has been improving since his last surgeries, and no further surgery was recommended at this time. This is not what Hadi's defense team wanted to hear. After arguing that the anonymity of the witness made it impossible for the defense to evaluate his testimony, defense cross-examined Neuro 1. The witness stood his ground, with nuanced testimony indicating that Hadi may be in pain and will find it difficult to sit for prolonged periods of time, but he is medically able to attend. His presence in the courtroom, as opposed to sitting in his cell, would do nothing to exacerbate his back problem. The judge took under advisement the defense's motion to abate the hearings based on Hadi's medical condition.
"After Neuro 1 left the stand, Hadi's defense team argued two other motions. The first was a motion to permit the defense to retain a consulting expert on enhanced interrogation techniques. The defense argued that the expert was needed to help prepare Hadi's team to cross-examine Darbi, who admittedly had been subjected to severe instances of torture. The government countered that a consulting expert was unnecessary. The defense had been in possession of the Darbi testimony for months and did not need expert help to undertake an effective cross-examination. The defense also sought access to psychiatric records for Darbi, which were privileged. The judge took these motions under advisement as well.
"Day 3, Monday morning. The judge found Hadi was medically capable of attending court with accommodations. Judge Rubin denied the defense motions to retain an expert and obtain Darbi's psychiatric records. Defense then argued a motion to continue the Darbi cross-examination until April. This would post-date the scheduled departure of Darbi.
"Day 4, Tuesday. The judge announced his rulings and the way forward on the Darbi cross-examination. The hearing would be continued to Saturday, giving the defense three more days to prepare. In addition, the schedule would entail two half-day sessions followed by a day off for Hadi to rest, then resume with two half-day sessions and a rest day until the cross-examination was complete.
"Our NGO group was deflated. We had seen Darbi in court. He sat in the back of the courtroom during the defense arguments seeking his psychiatric records. We had heard so much argument on the Darbi deposition, we were eager to hear the Miami journalist's cross-examination. But we were scheduled to leave on Saturday morning, the day the cross would start. We sought permission to stay until Sunday, but we were told this was not workable.
"We made the most of our next few days, scheduling meetings with Carol Rosenberg, the Miami journalist, a walking encyclopedia of all facts—past and present—pertaining to the military commissions proceedings, the detainees, the prosecution and defense teams, the detention center and all things GTMO. We met with the defense team. And finally, we met with Wendy Kelly, who oversees the operations of the military commissions. During these meetings, I learned much about the military commissions in general and the challenges all the constituents faced.
"By the end of the week, my initial impression had changed significantly. Did I get used to the island? To some extent, living there for even a week enables you to see the base as more than its shadow. It is a living, breathing town. My closing observations:
- The residents, whether living there full or part-time, act with dignity and self-respect.
- The legal process is underway, but the pace is excruciatingly slow.
- The prosecution, defense and military judges are doing everything they can to handle the proceedings with professionalism.
- The military judge is highly-qualified, diligent and respectful of the parties. His task is a difficult one, though, as the military commissions process is virtually impossible to manage efficiently.
"In March 2016, a New York City bar association report appropriately and pointedly questioned the effectiveness of the military commissions as the forum in which to hold these proceedings, noting the vastly more efficient and open process that takes place in federal court. I came away with similar questions. The process is slow and takes place outside the public eye. Without Carol Rosenberg's astute journalism—at times minute-to-minute reports via Twitter—the American public would have little knowledge of what goes on at the military commissions. Ideally, the cases pending in the military commissions would be moved into federal court on the mainland or at GTMO. In light of significant resistance to bringing the trials back home, coupled with the current political climate, the question is how, if at all, this may be achieved."
Wow! What a great experience! Thanks for sharing!

Why politics?
In the past three years, I've advocated fairer policies in healthcare, education, retirement, CPF (Central Provident Fund), et cetera.
I don't think the Government has responded sufficiently to Singaporeans. It's up to Singaporeans to be in Parliament to act for ourselves.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak indicted in multi-billion dollar embezzlement scandal, is seeking immunity in exchange for testimony against the Rothschilds
By Benjamin Fulford
July 30, 2016
CIA sources in East Asia alerted us to the fact the US Justice Department has indicted Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak for embezzling over $1 billion from a fund meant to be used for Malaysian economic development.
The indictment is calling for the seizure of all the profits from the Hollywood hit movie The Wolf of Wall Street, because it was financed with embezzled funds. The indictment also mentions Saudi Arabian royals, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Bank Privee Edmond de Rothschild.
The CIA sources source say Najib has asked for immunity and placement for him and his family in the witness protection program in exchange for testifying about the links between the embezzlement scandal, the Rothschild family and missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370. If so, this could be the case that finally brings down the Rothschild dynasty. The Rockefeller/Bush/Clinton branch of the Khazarian mafia is already being brought down in the US so if the Rothschilds are also brought down, this will mean liberation for humanity for the horrors of Babylonian debt slavery.
The indictment can be read here:
More details will be made available in the Weekly Geopolitical News and Analysis report due out on Monday, August 1st, 2016.

Sandy Hook… Parkland… Las Vegas… Pittsburgh… incidents of mass carnage shock the country. Many workers are affected — first responders, school employees, venue staff. Some states have expanded their coverage for traumatic mental injury incurred on the job. They show that logic and leadership can lead to a more capable and responsive system of coverage.
The new laws may appear at first glance idiosyncratic… for instance by including artisanal-crafted language such as "shock the conscience" (Florida) and "repeatedly" exposed (Colorado). But some patterns to legal drafting emerge, suggesting barriers and solutions for expansion of coverage.
NCCI has noted an increase in interest. Healthesystems issued a paper describing medication and other treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder recently as well.
The end goal needs to be a stable, trustworthy process to determine what the mental condition is, if work caused it enough for coverage, and what treatment is appropriate. Anyone defending the status quo should be asked to explain why Sandy Hook, Parkland school teachers and administrators did not deserve coverage.
According to a law journal article by Ashley Bailey, in 2015 eighteen states then barred what is commonly referred to as mental stress claims unless the mental injury is linked to a physical injury. Nine states permitted mental stress claims with little or no restrictions. The remaining twenty-three states permitted mental stress claims with a qualification that a triggering event is either unusual and/or sudden.
As one reads some laws, delves into recent drafting histories, and listens to work comp people talk, one is struck by a pervasive tendency to treat mental stress as inherently foreign. Figuratively and sometimes literally, mental stress injury is typically recognized in a special sub-system, where coverage can be severely limited by type of worker and by arbitrary barriers.
Legislators might expand coverage for certain workers, such as first responders, but leave out teachers and corrections personnel. A new law in Florida was written outside the workers' comp statutes and exclusively for first responders. Many states are still stuck on insisting a co-morbidity of a physical injury. That is from a scientific perspective analogous to requiring anyone who claims a back injury to also show an injury to another body part.
The majority of pertinent state laws were written decades ago. Mental injury definitions have been slippery, in part because the authoritative definer of mental conditions, the American Psychiatry Association, usually does not have unambiguous legal standing in state laws.
Mental stress includes traumatic mental injury. The classic definition of this type of injury is PTSD, which the APA most recently addressed in depth in 2013. Drafters of expanded mental stress coverage in workers' comp tend to regard, and sometimes expressly refer to, the APA's definition as the gold standard for any mental stress claim.
The APA's 2013 definition refers to traumatic events and marked behavioral symptoms for making a correct diagnosis. This condition is very different from anxiety or depression in diagnosis and treatment.
Any state today can readily research the types of mental stress claims that have been accepted. It can inquire about the claims experience of other states with laws which it is thinking of emulating (or avoiding). It can make a reasonable estimate of how many accepted claims would have complied with the APA's position.
In fact, this kind of research was performed by Pinnacol Assurance, the Colorado state fund, for its own claim history, as it met with others over legislation which ultimately passed in 2017. It found that among an average of about 68,000 claims, the annual mental stress claim frequency was about 100. The state of Minnesota examined the claim history of first responders (among all claims payers) and reported that for the roughly 17,000 first responders in that state there were on average about 20 mental stress claims each year.
Given the miniscule claim history in these two states, one might be as much concerned about under-claiming today than about the fear of a flood of meritless claims tomorrow if coverage were expanded.
The recent drafting histories of states such as Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota and Vermont show legislators engrossed in trying to write (often revise) qualifications for coverage based on whether the event triggering the traumatic mental injury is unusual. Vermont had a rather telling requirement, which it removed, which stated that for first responders the triggering incident had to be unusual, not for any worker, but for the kind of work performed by the claimant (such as firefighting).
That since-removed tougher standard reflects a line of thinking which sometimes creeps in when people talk about an "unusual" qualification for receiving benefits. The thought is that some kinds of first responder jobs predictably absorb an amount of traumatic mental injury that does not qualify for workers' comp coverage; that an award of traumatic mental injury demands an extraordinary event.
This seems to me to be the "assumption of risk" doctrine which the workers' comp laws of the 1910s threw out. By analogy, one might as well demand that a dry wall installer demonstrate that he or she made an extraordinary overhead exertion in order that a shoulder injury claim be accepted.
There is change. Some states have stepped forward to bring their traumatic mental injury coverage into the present day. This makes it harder to excuse states that have not.

It is important to understand that Waze uses a penalty-based routing system. It computes the total penalties for a route and selects the one with the least cumulative penalty. Therefore it is possible for big detour routes to occur when the primary route is extremely slow.
Exactly how slow = extremely slow, is proprietary information the devs do not wish to publish, but the concept remains in heavy traffic it is possible to overcome the penalty, and the prevention behaviour.
