IoT: from technology to revenue model
By Bruno Mommens (Delaware Consulting)
11/01/2017 05:51:33
The Internet of Things (IoT) opens up opportunities to develop new services, gain new insights, improve business processes and strengthen and grow your market position. Ultimately, IoT should bring you closer to the customer. But before you can generate ROI from it, your IoT solution must first be mature – and that means it must meet a number of organizational and technological criteria.
Strategic approach
It all starts with a vision. Without C-level engagement, IoT risks being sidelined as 'just another project'. Each IoT process should start with the following question: 'How can the technology help us to better meet the (future) needs of our customers?'. It should revolve around the added value for the customer rather than the technology itself.
Next, you need a dedicated team comprising a mix of IT and business specialists who can translate the vision into a solution: a lean, hands-on team that can set to work quickly. Agile development plays an important role in this because speed is imperative at various levels – not only in terms of practical testing and timely adjustments, but also in order to obtain a clear view of the feasibility of the project as soon as possible.
Furthermore, speed is important in keeping your C-level management on board. The more engaged and involved they are, the less likely it is that the roll-out will come under pressure in a later phase.
Besides the vision, another important key to success is of course the data itself. In the longer term, we may well see connected devices becoming cheaper to buy than non-connected alternatives. The focus is shifting from the device itself to the associated service and the resulting data. The value of that data far exceeds the cost of the electronics needed to make a device intelligent. However, in order to unlock the value of the data, organizations must first do their homework in terms of advanced analytics, real-time data collection, data ownership and privacy. Each of those factors creates extra complexity and challenges, so they need to be carefully considered.
A service-based world
Last but not least, your existing business models must also be aligned with an IoT context. IoT is accelerating the transition from a product-based to a service-based world. Currently, a car can issue a warning about a loss of tyre pressure. But in the case of connected tyres, that alert would be transmitted directly to the local garage where an appointment to fix it would be scheduled automatically. This completely shifts the focus away from the product and onto the service provided and the customer experience it creates.
In the same way, it is increasingly becoming less about the hardware and more about the software. By running software updates at regular intervals, companies can offer their customers new services while also creating new touchpoints that would not occur in the case of one-off hardware sales. Many disruptive companies have already understood this message loud and clear and have made the customer experience their top priority. Through their software, they not only provide new services that meet their customers' needs but also have frequent contact with those customers. Look at how Tesla offers its autopilot functionality via a software upgrade.
In order to truly transform business models, companies also need to redesign their approach to invoicing. This implies a shift from traditional billing methods to the use of micro-billing systems for the recurring revenue streams that newly developed services generate.
Dare to think differently
The technology is ready, and the possibilities will only increase over the next six months. More and more companies are convinced of the potential offered by IoT but are struggling to leverage it in practice. To do that successfully, they will first need to think carefully about their strategy. Once the strategic outlines are clear, the next steps are mostly a matter of execution.

Squirrel Droppings - What Does Squirrel Poop Look Like
Most people do not know much about bat removal. They are also unaware of all of the health risks and damage a bat infestation can cause. If your home is a hotspot for bats to live in, the best thing to do is to call a professional so that they can safely, and completely, remove the problem from your home. If you try and do this yourself, more than likely you can get hurt, your home can be damaged, and the bat problem will not be permanently removed.
Bats like to hide, or live, in the attic part of a home. This is only for homes that are in areas with heavy bat populations. Once the bats have found their new home, they will arrive by the hundreds or even thousands all in your attic. It will be almost impossible not to notice this after a while because if you ever go up there, they will scatter, or you will continually see bats flying around your home at night. Another key factor in noticing the problem is that your ceiling will start to sag. This sagging is caused by bat excrement, which is not only disgusting, but also very harmful to your health, by breathing in the fumes.
The exterminator will then start the cleanup process. They will have to vacuum and remove all of the bat excrement that was left behind. This can be a long job, and a dangerous one, being up in the attic. Once that is completely removed, they will chemically clean the area. After this, you will then be able to tell if any damaged was done to your attic floor. If so, you can have it replaced so that the ceiling will not randomly collapse one night and you can feel good to know your home is now safe to live in again.

Are The Bats Out Of Control?
Clean Up Of Accumulation of Guano, or Feces
If you find a bat in the house, you are definitely full of questions. You are probably also feeling some anxiety and perhaps a little bit of fear. These are all normal reactions to discovering a wild bat in your home, especially because of all the misconceptions about the dangers of bats. To help you during this stressful situation, continue reading to review some common questions people ask when they find a bat in their home. This will give you some light on which steps you need to take next. The most important part of dealing with a bat in the house is remaining calm. You'll learn why soon enough.
Should I Trap the Bat?
No! The biggest mistake you can make is assuming you can capture and trap a bat, and out them outside yourself. First, bats are known carriers of several infectious diseases. Although they are not likely to attack, if they are scared, any type of provocation can cause them to react adversely. Furthermore, attempting to catch a bat puts the bat's safety at risk. Bats are not pest even though they can be quite the nuisance. They are actually very important parts of our surrounding eco-system, which is why they are protected by law in most states. You should never try to trap, harm, or kill a bat under any circumstances.
What Do I Do If I Find a Bat in the House?
Remain calm and do not try to capture the bat. The first thing you need to do is isolate them. If they are in the kitchen, close all other doors to the house so they cannot enter other rooms and areas. If they are in a bedroom, close the door but leave the window open. They are likely to fly right out. Once you have them isolated, you can begin opening all the windows in area where the bat is hanging. Again, they are likely to fly out at some point. If they do not, your next step is to contact an emergency bat removal company for safe and humane extraction services. These are generally available on a 24 hour basis.

Encouraging wildlife into your garden
It's lovely when you see a hedgehog crawl out from beneath a pile of logs, or a bat emerge from your self built bat house just after dark.
By encouraging wildlife into your garden it not creates a feeling of happiness but also continues to provide important habitats for animals. Below are some tips and ideas to keep up the wild side of your garden.
Planting trees is the most apparent means of creating habitats for mammals and birds; by planting native tree species this will provide food all year round for insects and birds. The tree will offer shelter depending on its size all types of creatures will benefit, and quite often create their home beneath or within the tree.
Bird tables become very popular to birds during winter when they find it harder to find local foods, place sunflower seeds, unsalted peanuts, or chopped fruit onto a feeding station in your garden, it may take a few days for the birds to take to the food, but when they know its there the feed will be eagerly taken.
If you have the space then try and leave a section of your garden over grown and undisturbed, place a few logs in there, and leave them to rot, hedgehogs are likely to see this kind of environment as a perfect home for hibernation.

'Through my T.V, through my T.V, all my problems come..'.
The lyrics are supplied by 90's Britpop forgotten men Mansun (worth a listen by the way), the 'problems' in question come from Aberdeen Football Club. My status as a Don abroad, unfortunately means that I am largely confined to watching Aberdeen in televised matches, with my only other exposure coming through radio and BBC highlights. In recent years there have of course been peaks (1-0 vs rangers, 4-3 and 4-2 vs Celtic), but unfortunately they have been sandwiched between a number of insipid performances. Aberdeen's televised appearances are beginning to carry an air of inevitability, with their last T.V victory (to the best of my knowledge) being the enjoyable 4-2 victory over an admittedly shoddy Hibs side last October.
Sandwiched between that and Monday nights match against St Johnstone include a pair of spirited but ultimately fruitless Old Firm defeats this season, and dour draws against Hamilton and Hearts at the back end of last season. For a Don who uses such televised encounters as attempts to convert his housemates to Scottish Football, the results and performances have not made for comfortable viewing.
A visit to a St Johnstone side currently occupying fourth place in the SPL may be a difficult propoisiton for Craig Brown's men, who will nonetheless by buoyed by encouraging recent performances before the recent Old Firm double header. With Scott Vernon injured and Rory Fallon suspended, the big question for Brown will perhaps be who to start up front, with Mo Chalali having pressed his claim for a start with a hat trick in a behind closed doors friendly against Dundee United this week. Josh Magennis struck twice in the same fixture, and it will potentially be a battle between the two young strikers for a starting spot if Brown opts for 4-5-1. Jamie Langfield made his return to action after a five month lay off in the friendly, but on loan goalkeeper David Gonzalez is likely to retain his place between the sticks.

Jayne County (born June 13, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, actress and record producer whose career has spanned five decades. She was the vocalist of influential proto-punk band Wayne County & the Electric Chairs and has been known for her outrageous and unpredictable stage antics. She went on to become rock's first openly transgender singer.
County's music has encompassed a number of styles over the course of her career, including glam punk, punk rock, blues rock, and boogie-woogie.[1] County did not think her birth name Wayne Rogers "sounded very glamorous" and decided to adopt the name of the county in which Detroit was located because she admired bands from that city "like Iggy [Pop] and all those people."[2] Though she has never been a commercial success, she has been an influence on a number of musicians including David Bowie, the Ramones, Patti Smith, Pete Burns and Lou Reed,[3] and many of County's songs have become well-known, including "Are You Man Enough to Be a Woman", "Fuck Off", "Stuck on You," and "Night Time". Pianist Jools Holland's first studio outing was with County on her single "Fuck Off". She also appeared as an actress at Andy Warhol's Factory.

|Background information
|July 13, 1947
Dallas, Georgia, U.S.
|Associated acts
Born in 1947, County left her hometown of Dallas, Georgia, in 1968 to move to New York City, where she became a regular at the Stonewall Inn and took part in the historic riots.[4] In 1969 County was asked by Warhol superstar and playwright Jackie Curtis to appear in her play, Femme Fatale. The play had a successful run at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club and also starred Patti Smith. In her autobiography, County says of Curtis, "She was my biggest influence, the person who really got me started."[5]
After appearing in Femme Fatale, County wrote the play World – Birth of a Nation (The Castration of Man). The play was directed by Tony Ingrassia and promoted as a "homosexual fantasy." The play was set in a hospital and related to castration of the male sex. County played both Florence Nitingale and her sister Ethel Nitingale, and the play also featured Cherry Vanilla who played a nurse named Tilly Tons.[6]
After seeing County in the play, Warhol cast her in his own theatrical production of Pork, which was also adapted and directed by Tony Ingrassia.[7] After a run in New York, the play was performed in London with the same New York cast. Upon returning to New York, County appeared in another play, Island by Tony Ingrassia, again with Patti Smith.[8]
In 1972 County formed Queen Elizabeth, one of the pioneering proto-punk bands. County was signed to MainMan Artistes, David Bowie's management firm, but no records were ever produced. The company spent over $200,000 to film the 1974 stage show, "Wayne at the Trucks", but footage has never been released. The show featured numerous costume changes and some of County's raunchiest material. Eight songs from the show were released on the 2006 album, Wayne County At the Trucks, on Munster Records. County claims the show was the inspiration for Bowie's Diamond Dogs tour.[9] In particular, County maintains that the song "Queenage Baby" was a prototype for Bowie's song "Rebel Rebel", a claim which is supported by some rock critics.[10][11]
In 1974 County formed Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys, which recorded three tracks for Max's Kansas City: New York New Wave, a compilation that also featured Suicide, Pere Ubu, Cherry Vanilla and The Fast. Wayne County and The Backstreet Boys played regularly at CBGB and Max's Kansas City, where County was also a DJ. In 1976, she appeared in the film The Blank Generation, directed by Amos Poe and Ivan Kral. The film, the recording and the shows were the beginnings of what came to be known as punk rock, and helped define the movement.[12]
In 1977 County moved to London, where the English punk scene was just emerging, and formed Wayne County & the Electric Chairs. County released the EP Electric Chairs 1977, plus a single on Illegal Records. This was followed by "Fuck Off", recorded as a single for Safari Records and supported with a European tour. While in London, County met Derek Jarman, who cast her as "Lounge Lizard" in the seminal punk film Jubilee, which also starred Adam Ant, Toyah Willcox, Ian Charleson, Little Nell and Jordan.[13] County and band are also featured in The Punk Rock Movie, by Don Letts, containing part of a 1977 performance at The Roxy club in London.
In 1978, the Wayne County song "F##ked by the Devil," was recorded by Jimi LaLumia and The Psychotic Frogs. The song was released on Jimi LaLumia and The Psychotic Frogs' EP Typically Tasteless. It was a vinyl EP that instantly sold 10,000 copies. Later on Jimi LaLumia would work with Wayne County in a managerial position.[14]
Shortly after this, Wayne County and The Electric Chairs recorded their first, eponymous album, as well as another EP, Blatantly Offensive, which contained "Fuck Off" and "Toilet Love." After their touring in support of these releases was done, they recorded Storm the Gates of Heaven. Their next album, released in 1979, was Things Your Mother Never Told You, which featured several songs based on County's experiences in Germany. The album was produced by David Cunningham.[15] After it was released, the band broke up and County, along with guitarist Eliot Michaels, returned to the U.S.
When County moved to Berlin in 1979, she changed her stage name to "Jayne County",[16] publicly identifying as a woman for the first time. County's release of Rock and Roll Resurrection (In Concert) on Safari Records, was under this new name. The first live show under County's new name in Toronto, Canada, sparked erroneous rumors of a sex change operation.[13]
In 1983 County returned to New York where she appeared in the theatrical production Les Girls with Holly Woodlawn. Shortly thereafter she returned to London for the première of City of Lost Souls and stayed long enough to record and tour another album, Private Oyster, with Warren Heighway as manager. Her band included members of various UK based rock bands, including Manchester-based guitarists, Stu Clarke and Chris Lynch [Rockson], Mark Pearson on bass and Bazz Creece on drums.[17] Following widespread media attention, she returned to the U.S.In the From 1990 onwards many of County's earlier recordings were re-released, including the early Safari tracks, on a CD called Rock & Roll Cleopatra. She recorded the album Goddess of Wet Dreams in 1993, followed by Deviation in 1995. Later that year, she appeared in Wigstock: The Movie and released her autobiography, Man Enough to Be a Woman.[5] From 1989-1997, Jayne County & The Electric Chairs consisted of Jayne on vocals, Mark Pearson on bass, Paul Wainwright on guitar, and Colin Rocks on drums. This lineup recorded and toured the UK and Europe during this time.
Since that time several new tracks have surfaced on various compilations and through County's official website. Many of these tracks, both live and studio recordings, were collected on the Ratcage Records release So New York, including collaborations with Lisa Jackson and former Electric Chairs guitarist Eliot Michaels. A live show, recorded on County's birthday, was released on the 2002 CD Wash Me in the Blood (of Rock & Roll)- Live at Squeeze Box by Fang Records.[18] The CD features a duet on "California Sun" by County and former nemesis "Handsome" Dick Manitoba of The Dictators.
After leaving New York City, County settled in the Atlanta area where she has a band called the Electrick Queers with guitarist Jet Terror, bassist Gary Yoxen, and drummer Rob Kirkland. In 2014 she released a DVD of Wayne/Jayne County and The Electric Chairs, Live in Germany from 1978.[19] On July 22, 2015, Jayne County & the Electrick Queers headlined ARMageddon, to benefit Blast-Off Burlesque's Trey Chic.[20]
On 23 September 2017, County released a five-track extended play download by Jayne County and The JC5 entitled "Here Come The JC5".[21]
In 2018, County debuted a retrospective show of visual art at Participant, Inc, a gallery in New York City.[22] Comprising five decades of work, Paranoia Paradise included paintings, drawings, collages, and photography.[23]
Jayne County is enjoying a renewed recording career with the success of anti animal experimentation single "Leave My Pu**y Alone" and the trans anthem "IGenderTy".

Revolver Music, or Revolver Records, was created by Paul Birch in 1979 as a guitar music label. Its sister labels are FM Records and Heavy Metal Records.
Revolver is best known for signing the Manchester band, The Stone Roses, who released the "Sally Cinnamon" EP with Revolver under the "Black Records" imprint prior to reneging on their contract and moving to Silvertone (part of the Zomba Group). The Black Records label was a division of FM-Revolver that was initially created as an indie imprint to promote The Stone Roses, and later used for releases by Crazyhead, The Pleasureheads and The Wild Flowers amongst others.
Revolver also signed artists such as UK Subs and The Vibrators, also releasing the first eponymous album by Jane's Addiction in the UK.Other artists released on Revolver include:

Title: Seat of the Soul
Artist: Rachel Brown
About the Artist: I'm Rachel Brown, a Junior at Missouri State University studying Art, Creative Writing and Spanish. In the last year I have wandered from the Parthenon to the Pantheon and through 16 countries in-between. Through it all, this planet has dazzled me with her art, her languages, her cultures and most of all, her people, who imprint upon my heart and allow me to view things with fresh eyes, a childlike perception, a mind open to new ways to combine and create. For me, my goal is to create something new, something colorful, full of symbols and meaning, to tell a story that only I can tell, to breath life into paint, to become fleetingly Godlike in that harmonious moment of creation.

Admit it—your Jackson Township, Ohio; North Canton, Ohio; or Massillon, Ohio home is filled with old furniture that you no longer have any use for. From the coffee table in your attic to the dining set in your basement, your home has plenty of pieces that are just sitting around. Instead of continuing to let these items take up space, why not do something good with them? Like give them away as a tax-deductible donation? Habitat ReStore of Canton, Ohio is always asking local residents to recycle their furnishings as new and used furniture donations are in high demand. So, why not dig out some of your old or nonessential pieces and take them to your local resale store? You can even ask Habitat ReStore for donation pick-up if you don't have a large enough vehicle to transport your contribution!
In addition to clearing out the items that are taking up space in your Jackson Township, Massillon or North Canton home, opting to recycle furnishings is a great way to help the environment. Since tossing old furnishings to the curb means that they'll just end up in a landfill, you'd be contributing to the already overflowing trash heaps scattered throughout our region. But by donating home items that you no longer use to your local resale store, you can give them a new home and do your small part to end pollution!
If you've looked around your home and noticed that there are a number of pieces you could take to Habitat ReStore of Canton, then you'll probably want to check and see what they will accept. For instance, wood furniture like tables, bookshelves, chairs and dressers must be in excellent condition. For upholstered furniture such as couches, recliners, box springs and mattresses, they must be completely free of stains, tears and animal smells. If your pieces meet the criteria set by Habitat ReStore, they would be more than happy to accept your new and used furniture donations!
Along with having the chance to write off your tax-deductible donation when you file next year, another benefit of contributing to Habitat ReStore's cause is that they offer free donation pick-up when needed. Not enough room in your compact car for that hulking dresser? Unsure if that mattress will remain tied to your vehicle on the highway? Then let Habitat ReStore pay a visit to your home and pick up your donation so you don't have to go to the hassle of traveling to the resale store yourself.
Habitat ReStore is always accepting new and used furniture donations, but they could really use your recycled furnishings now. So, take inventory of the décor in your North Canton, Ohio; Massillon, Ohio; or Jackson Township, Ohio home to determine what should stay and what needs to go. Once you've double-checked to make sure that your pieces meet Habitat ReStore's requirements, just give this local resale store a call at 330.498.0011 and request donation pick-up. The environment, your wallet and your newly-uncluttered home will all thank you for your tax-deductible donation!

Not too many years ago, "big data" was a new and unfamiliar phrase that cropped up before anyone really defined it. We never did reach consensus on a precise meaning, even as the term slipped into common parlance and big data has now transformed what's possible in business and society. Some people still fuss over an exact definition; but as I've argued here before, that's a moot point. We may not have an exact meaning; but we know what big data has come to mean for our economy and for our world.
Much the same happened more recently with the "Internet of Things." Definitions remain muddy, but most readers have come to understand we're talking about data from a growing universe of sensors and machines. And most people know this data is hugely valuable; Gartner and others have anointed the IoT as a top strategic trend in technology. The "things" include everything from environmental sensors monitoring weather, traffic or energy usage; to "smart" household appliances and telemetry from production-line machines and car engines. Those are just a few examples.
Now there's an even newer concept out there: what I call the "Analytics of Things." Like the nifty terms that came before, however, finding an exact definition is not a big concern for me. Let's instead go right to the fun part and consider the new possibilities that the AoT enables – for myself and other analytics practitioners working to create next generation analytics, and for the rest of the world as we begin to see the innovations the AoT is bringing about.
With AoT, we're essentially talking about the kind of analytics that become possible with algorithms and data connections now that billions of sensors and all those other "things" are out there. What's most interesting to me is the role of connections: What kind of analytics become possible when connecting all these IoT sources? Also, what can analytics allow these things to do all by themselves – even if they're not connected?
As we build better algorithms for the burgeoning IoT digital infrastructure of sensors and machines that are now indexing our world on a granular level, we can use connection-based analytics to get very proactive in predicting future performance and conditions (like auto industry recalls) and even prescribing future actions (like design change suggestions for future models). At the same time, analytics can make each "thing" more self-sufficient in adjusting and "deciding" how to operate based on changing conditions, even if that "thing" is operating all by itself.
Kudos to Thomas Davenport for his accessible example here of the modern household thermostat. When connected to the larger digital world, such smart thermostats let you do things like adjust and monitor temperature remotely and optimize energy usage patterns across the power grid. But on its own, when not connected, each device has embedded analytics that help it detect when people are in a room, what times they're likely to be in a room (based on previous observations) and decide, all by itself, to adjust temperature accordingly.
I believe that the dynamic between IoT and AoT represents a very exciting interplay that will fuel progress – a kind of stepwise dialogue between devices and analytics that is driving our evolution toward more complex systems and capabilities. New devices create potential for new analytics; and these new analytics create new possibilities for device creation and modification, as well as what's possible whether they're connected or acting alone. The "whole" of this innovation potential, so to speak, is greater than the sum of its IoT and AoT parts.
I'll talk more in later blogs about some impressive use cases we may see in the future. But, it's already clear how quickly the Internet of Things and Analytics of Things are taking us there. What value is all of the data from the IoT if we aren't focused on producing analytics from it via AoT?

Great delivery is wholly dependent on great planning
Success in the pharmaceutical industry is largely dependent on organisation and strategy. Meticulous planning and thorough research are vital: without them any event would fail to make an impact. Without a clear and focused strategy we would never be in the position to manage our conferences or deliver memorable events effectively and get our high-level clients to where they want to be.
Cinnamon always takes a hands-on role with event delivery. We like to be on-site to see that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Successful events can only be achieved by employing and galvanising all the talents, co-operation, co-ordination and participation of every individual involved.
It's Cinnamon's job to see that that happens, and our experienced on-site event management team who will ensure that your event runs in exactly the way your business would want.
Investigator Meetings
Cinnamon has extensive experience of organising clinical investigator meetings, having worked with many major pharmaceutical companies like Sanofi-Aventis and Novo Nordisk. We've facilitated numerous investigator meetings given by clinical trial sponsors to conduct protocol and GCP training, and allow participants an opportunity to ask questions about the clinical trial conduct.
We understand the importance of creating the optimal environment for the dissemination of information regarding on-going pharmaceutical trials and recruitment criteria. Our experienced team respond enthusiastically to any challenge and have developed a proven 'event plus' strategy that delivers quality results regardless of the size or geographical location of the venue.
Competitor Workshops
Research of every relevant sector of the market is crucial before any pharmaceutical company makes the decision to expand into new sectors of the therapeutic market. Cinnamon takes an in-depth look at all the latest information relating to the disease and all the competitor intelligence and feeds this information back to our client so they can see the full picture.
Our team like challenges and always respond well, and has developed a proven 'war gaming' strategy that, like our 'event plus' strategy, delivers robust and reliable results that are not dependent of the physical size or geographical locality of the venue.

As the clean-up of the NSW Mid North Coast moved into day 12, Roads and Maritime Services is continuing to liaise with other NSW and Australian Government agencies and other stakeholders to determine the next steps.
Roads and Maritime Executive Director Maritime Angus Mitchell said the clean-up effort was continuing between Coffs Harbour and North Stockton, with a shoreline response and divers removing debris from the water.
"Weather and sea conditions continue to not be entirely on our side. However, the beaches and bays are mostly clear of debris. The difficult part now is to retrieve debris from rocky outcrops and shoreline which is only accessible by boat," Mr. Mitchell said.
"We are working closely with the contactors and are satisfied with the progress in collecting debris, considering the weather conditions, geographical spread of the affected areas and restricted access to some of the sites.
"Almost a third of an Olympic swimming pool of debris has been removed from the water and shoreline.
"Two of the 83 containers which were lost from YM Efficiency have now been recovered, the last on Saturday in the water not far from the southern side of Fingal Island.
"We are engaging with other stakeholders such as NSW Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Environment and Heritage and local councils regarding the de-escalation and possible re-escalation protocols in place in the event more debris washes up and its potential salvage.
Mr. Mitchell said Roads and Maritime continued to work in close consultation with the multi-agency effort of stakeholders across local, state and federal jurisdictions. Roads and Maritime is leading the effort under the NSW State Waters Marine Oil and Chemical Spill Contingency Plan, prepared in support of the NSW State Emergency Plan (EMPLAN) and the National Plan for Maritime Environmental Emergencies (National Plan).
Roads and Maritime officers and those from other emergency response, environment and wildlife agencies participate in regular pollution training exercises which are simulated responses including, coincidentally, one in December last year, which was held at Port Stephens.
Community members are invited to attend public information sessions tomorrow and Thursday at Nelson Bay and Tea Gardens, to engage with representatives from key agencies involved in the clean-up.

Terry Hill South Field
November 6, 2002
DEC Project No. DMN-02-3
PROPOSED PROJECT: The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") proposes to establish field wide spacing and integration rules for portions of acreage located in the Towns of Catlin and Veteran, Chemung County, and the Towns of Dix and Montour, Schuyler County, New York, identified as the Terry Hill South Field (the "Field"). The Terry Hill South Field produces natural gas from the Ordovician Trenton-Black River formations. Please consult the maps of this Field for a more precise description (see "Document Availability," below).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Fairman Drilling Company ("Fairman"), R.D. #1, Helvetia Road, P.O. Box 288, DuBois, Pennsylvania 15801-0288, has conducted an exploration and drilling program and has successfully drilled six wells in the Field. Fairman began development of the Ordovician Trenton-Black River formations in the Field in March of 2000. Fairman continued to drill, complete and produce wells to develop the existing Field and to identify similar producing reservoirs in adjacent areas, and, as of October 30, 2002, has conveyed its interests to Fortuna Energy Inc. ("Fortuna"), 1519 Olean-Portville Road, Olean, New York 14760.
In order to ensure that all affected interest owners receive fair and equitable compensation upon issuance of a final spacing order, the DEC has required that Fairman escrow royalties generated as a result of this production, which Fortuna has agreed to continue and maintain. Fairman has proposed eight production units in the Field. The production units contains a small number of unleased parcels where the right to develop the oil and/or natural gas has not been conveyed to Fairman or to Fortuna. Compulsory integration is necessary to incorporate the unleased parcels into the proposed spacing unit for the purpose of distributing escrowed and future royalties.
The DEC seeks a public hearing to allow all interested parties the opportunity to discuss the issues and facilitate a decision addressing the establishment of field wide spacing and integration rules for the Terry Hill South Field. According to DEC Staff, the primary issues to be addressed at the hearing are the establishment of fair and equitable production units for existing wells, development of a well spacing plan governing future well drilling in the field, integration of interests within all spacing units, including the designation of the unit operator, and allocation of well production to integrated owners.
The DEC has entered into a Stipulation, dated October 9, 2002, with Fairman Drilling Company, which is binding upon Fortuna as successor to Fairman. It is DEC Staff's position that this Stipulation, a copy of which is available as indicated below under "Document Availability," resolves issues pertaining to field wide spacing rules and establishes procedures for future wells. According to DEC Staff, the Stipulation's provisions are based upon an analysis of available geologic, engineering and seismic data from wells within the Terry Hill South Field and from similar reservoirs in the vicinity.
SEQRA STATUS: The Department, as lead agency, has reviewed the establishment of field wide spacing rules and the integration of interests within units for the Terry Hill South Field in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section 617.7 of Title 6 of the Official Compilation of Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York ("6 NYCRR"). A Notice of Determination of Non-Significance Negative Declaration was prepared on July 23, 2002, after determining that the establishment of field wide spacing and integration rules within the units will have no significant adverse impact on the environment.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: All persons, organizations, corporations or government agencies which may be affected by the proposed project are invited to comment. A legislative hearing will be held on Tuesday, December 3, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, 304 South Hamilton Street, Painted Post, New York 14870, telephone number (607) 962-5021 to receive unsworn statements from the public. All persons, organizations, corporations or government agencies who may be affected by the proposed project are invited to attend the legislative hearing and to submit oral comments on the proposed project. No prior filing is required to participate at the legislative hearing. Lengthy comments should be submitted in writing at the hearing. Written comments may also be filed with the Office of Hearings and Mediation Services, at the address indicated below, either before or during the legislative hearing. Equal weight will be given to oral and written statements.
ISSUES CONFERENCE: A pre-adjudicatory hearing issues conference will be held on Wednesday, December 4, 2002, at 9:00 a.m. at the Holiday Inn, 304 South Hamilton Street, Painted Post, New York, 14870, telephone number (607) 962-5021. The purpose of the issues conference is to define, narrow, and, if possible, resolve proposed adjudicable issues concerning the action which is being proposed by the DEC. Any person seeking to participate at the issues conference must appear or be represented at the issues conference in order that all proposed issues may be fully discussed.
PARTICIPATION AT THE ISSUES CONFERENCE: Those seeking to participate at this issues conference and at any subsequent adjudicatory hearing to challenge the DEC proposed field wide spacing and integration rules must file a written petition requesting party status, pursuant to 6 NYCRR 624.5 and 624.4(c). Status as a full party or amicus will be accorded ONLY to those persons who provide a clear demonstration of their challenge to the field wide spacing and integration rules proposed by the DEC for the Terry Hill South Field, and substantiate that challenge with sufficient scientific support and/or statutory authority that is related to the project. Acceptable scientific support would include, but is not limited to: seismic and/or geologic data, reservoir engineering analysis and well testing results specific to the Terry Hill South Field. Section 624.4(c)(4) of 6 NYCRR places the burden of persuasion that an issue is adjudicable on the participant presenting the issue, and a demonstration must be made that the issue is substantive and significant. An issue is substantive and significant if there is sufficient doubt about an applicant's ability to meet the applicable statutory or regulatory criteria such that a reasonable person would inquire further. To be substantive, the issue cannot be based merely on speculation, but on facts that can be subjected to adjudication.
All petitions for party status must be in writing and must identify: the petitioner's official representative at the hearing; the petitioner's environmental interests and the statutory considerations relevant to the project; whether the petitioner's request is for full party status or amicus status; and the precise grounds for opposition or support regarding the project. Mere opposition to the project is not a sufficient basis to participate in an adjudicatory hearing.
All submissions by those person(s) requesting party status to participate at the issues conference and adjudicatory hearing (if an adjudicatory hearing is deemed to be necessary) must be received at the Office of Hearings and Mediation Services no later than the close of business on Wednesday, November 27, 2002. Such filings should be submitted to Maria E. Villa, Administrative Law Judge, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 625 Broadway, Albany, New York 12233-1550; telephone number (518) 402-9003. Filings by telecopier transmission will not be accepted. At the same time, all persons must also send a copy of their complete filing to John H. Heyer, Esq., 604 Exchange Bank Building, P.O. Box 588, Olean, New York 14760; Fortuna Energy Inc., 1519 Olean-Portville Road, Olean, New York 14760, attn: Harv Rasmussen, Senior Landman; and to John K. Dahl, Director, Bureau of Oil and Gas Regulation, NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, 625 Broadway, Third Floor, Albany, New York 12233-6500, telephone (518) 402-8056.

Yay! After a mammoth sewing session, the postage stamp top is done! The fact that the hubby was sick in bed on Sunday helped quite a bit. Other than taking the dog for a hike and to the dog park, I didn't have to do anything other than sew all day. Best Sunday plans ever!
So here's some spam, spammity spam all about my postage stamps top!
Now I just have to figure out how I'm going to finish it. I need to bulk it up to king size, I'm thinking a few more columns of postage stamp blocks and a border from the scarf print. At least I have a while to plan since I don't think the sherbet pips line is officially out until April.

When the tape transcripts were released eight months later -- oops -- it turned out that Lewinsky had made no such comment about Jordan.
This is among the case studies in a report released yesterday by the Committee of Concerned Journalists, a group holding forums around the country on media standards, that casts some of the Lewinsky coverage in a harsh light. "In some important cases, the press leaned on the suspicions of investigators that did not hold up and downplayed the denials of the accused," the report says.
The study took pains to point out that the press "usually relied on legitimate sources and often was careful about the facts." But although many allegations in the sex scandal turned out to be true, "it is an oversimplification to say the press has been vindicated."
Tom Rosenstiel, the committee's vice chairman, said some mainstream news outlets appeared to serve as a conduit for independent counsel Kenneth Starr. "Is it our job to print what an investigator suspects, or should we be publishing what we know to be true?" he asked. "There's a risk in publishing prosecutorial suspicions. The special prosecutor is not the disinterested prosecutor; he's there to make a case."
But the report did not deal with White House lies, from President Clinton on down, that were routinely carried by news outlets. Rosenstiel said that on the half-dozen subjects examined by the committee, administration officials often declined to discuss the details of the grand jury investigation.
Journalists, of course, routinely report on authorities investigating charges they ultimately can't prove. Sometimes, as in the case of falsely accused Olympic bomber Richard Jewell, they get burned.
The committee's massive Nexis search turned up some wrong-headed declarations, as when NBC's Geraldo Rivera said on July 8: "There is, ladies and gentlemen, absolutely no possibility that a so-called semen-stained dress exists."
More problematic was the spate of early reports on Jordan, the Washington lawyer who was helping Lewinsky find a corporate job -- and whose actions provided the legal basis for Starr's inquiry into the Lewinsky matter.
In breaking the Lewinsky story on Jan. 21, The Washington Post reported what the former White House intern was said to have told Linda Tripp on the tapes: "Lewinsky described Clinton and Jordan directing her to testify falsely in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case against the president, according to sources."
That same morning, ABC's Jackie Judd reported on the Lewinsky-Tripp tapes on "Good Morning America." One source, said Judd, "says Lewinsky is later heard saying Jordan instructed her to lie."
Five days later, also on "Good Morning America," Newsweek's Evan Thomas said: "We understand from very reliable sources that when Monica Lewinsky was talking to Tripp . . . Lewinsky did say some very damaging stuff about Jordan; that Jordan said, 'Deny it, say it never happened,' that he had basically told her to lie. Now, that doesn't mean Jordan did do that."
That same week, Time magazine said: "Lewinsky reportedly told Tripp that Jordan said to her, 'They can't prove anything. . . . Your answer is, it didn't happen, it wasn't me.' If that turns out to be true, Jordan could be on the hook for suborning perjury and obstruction of justice."
Starr's report last month made no mention of alleged obstruction of justice by Jordan, and Lewinsky testified that no one had told her to lie under oath. In a taped conversation with Tripp, the strongest thing she said about Jordan is "what he has showed me is there's no way to get caught in perjury in a situation like this."
The ultimate source here appears to be Tripp, who told investigators and perhaps others, who in turn told reporters what Lewinsky had supposedly said about Jordan. According to summaries of Tripp's first interview with investigators, she said that "Vernon Jordan told Lewinsky to lie" and that when Lewinsky expressed concern about perjury, Jordan offered "words to the effect, 'It never happened.' "
Karen DeYoung, The Post's assistant managing editor for national news, said that "if The Post was misled, the independent counsel was misled" by Tripp's interview with investigators. "The basic question is whether it is legitimate for us to report lines of inquiry the prosecutor is pursuing without having access to the primary information. . . . I think it is legitimate. When we find out otherwise, we have an obligation to report that, which I believe we did."
In hindsight, said DeYoung, "it certainly would have been more accurate to have said Tripp told the FBI one of the tapes contained Lewinsky describing Jordan telling her to lie." But, she said, the paper had no way of knowing this at the time.
Robin Sproul, ABC's Washington bureau chief, said the network's sources had "mischaracterized" Lewinsky's comments. "Based on the two unrelated sources we had, we were confident we had a straight-ahead account," she said, adding that Jordan and his attorney had declined to comment to ABC.
Said Newsweek's Thomas: "We reported what we knew then and we were careful to qualify it as what we were hearing, and we've reported since then on what the Starr report did show."
The committee also examined coverage of the famous "talking points" that Lewinsky gave Tripp, urging her to deny knowledge of any extramarital affair involving Clinton. The issue first surfaced in Michael Isikoff's Jan. 22 Newsweek report: "Starr believes that Lewinsky did not write them herself. He is investigating whether the instructions came from Jordan or other friends of the president."
Eight months later, the Starr report did not challenge Lewinsky's testimony that she had written the talking points herself. Along the way, though, journalists said the chief suspect was White House aide Bruce Lindsey; others aimed even higher.
On Feb. 2, Time reported that "potentially the most damaging questions for Lindsey will concern the list of 'talking points' that Lewinsky allegedly gave Linda Tripp. . . . The origins of the talking points remain a big mystery, but Starr may have good reason to press Lindsey under oath."
On Feb. 4, NBC's Claire Shipman said: "Sources in Starr's office and close to Linda Tripp say they believe the instructions came from the White House. If true, that could help support a case of obstruction of justice."
On Feb. 23, Fox News cited sourc- es as saying that Starr's team was "considering the possibility that President Clinton helped Monica Lewinsky write the so-called talking points memo."
On May 18, the Washington Times reported that "Mr. Starr, according to lawyers and others close to the grand jury probe, wants to know what White House deputy counsel Bruce R. Lindsey and senior aide Sidney Blumenthal know about the source of the summary, or 'talking points' . . . which prosecutors are convinced was not written by Miss Lewinsky."
On June 17, CNBC's Chris Matthews said that "the person who may have given her the talking points may in fact have been the person who had the closest relationship with her, and that's the president."
Now, of course, the press has moved on.

Cat Dubh
Say goodnight
She waits for me to turn out the light
Really still
She waits to break my will.
Yes, and I know the truth about you.
She cat.
And in the daylight
A blackbird makes a violent sight
And when she is done
She sleeps beside the one
Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat.
Yes, and I know the truth about you
She cat.

Having been spoilt by perfect weather and fantastic cover and surface conditions for so early in the season on Friday it was a bit more Scottish on Sunday at CairnGorm Mountain for my 3rd day of the season , with the wind ratcheting up during the day. However the visibility was often better than it was on Saturday by all accounts with some brighter spells. Drifting of what loose snow there was meant every changing stashes and surface conditions.
Top to middle riding on offer, that's just a shade less than 1300ft of vertical from the top of the Ptarmigan Tow, pretty good for early Dec and having a base on the mid-mountain. While we did have top to Daylodge skiing on the first day open in Dec 08 after the maintainence shutdown, it was quite short lived with most of the early Dec days in the past few seasons restricted to the Ptarmigan Tow.

Retreat of Darkness
Above the right ear, the first bite,
sends fingers of darkness across the sphere.
A plague of forgetfulness. I call my mother,
tell her, Look out! The eclipse is caught
center stage in her living-room window. All evening,
the threatened snow holds off. I run in and out
with binoculars, crunching frozen leaves, follow
the progress of the penumbra across the shining, fading
face. From the comfort of her couch, my mother watches, too,
her rising and shrinking dimmed by lights.
When fully occluded, the moon bleeds.
Drizzles luminous tears. The last
edge of darkness hangs on the moon's face
over its left ear, merges degree by degree
with the surrounding night. Slowly evaporates.
Over her right ear, my mother's brain tumor
has grown large as a lemon. Next week, the surgery.
Dancing from foot to foot, I blow the warmth of my breath
into icy hands, and wait until the shadow passes
completely and the moon is bright and whole again.

The nightstands are done for Sweet Daughter. I just need to download the pictures. And I am pleased to say that they met with her approval. She likes them very much. The slate blue is just as pretty as the turquoise and will be a wonderful complement to her bedding. Actually any nightstands will be great since it took so long to find something. We are letting the topcoat cure for a few days before moving them to their home in her bedroom.
Here is a little repeat post.
I might be painting a smaller French dresser in the same way as the one in the picture soon, and this time I will take some pictures along the way so I can show them.
Singing The Blues.
Some of my flea market/garage sale friends probably find old dressers like this one every other week for next to nothing. I was thrilled to find it at consignment store for about $100. It's the older, all wood kind and very nicely constructed with dovetails. It's been waiting patiently for its time to be transformed. I had no idea this was what I would wind up doing when I bought it. Now the whole room will have to take this piece into consideration as it becomes the new studio space. Those drawers are just what I need for storage.
With a New Project.

Herman Charles Bosman has woven many a tale about Abjaterskop and the Marico River. It is perhaps he that best describes the vast area where enselbergs rise from the savannahs and an area that is given life from the Marico River. This is the Madikwe Game Reserve, 75,000 hectares of unique topography and breathtaking beauty, it is also home to the big 5 and a large variety of mammal and bird life. A Tswana word meaning word meaning 'A Gift from God'. The lodge features a magnificent feature pool which looks over onto an active water hole, during the heat of the day much is observed from the pool or from the nearby viewing sala. Breakfasts and lunches are enjoyed on the pool deck while dinner is in the boma. For those wanting peace and tranquility nothing can beat taking a book from the library and whiling away the afternoon in the sala. Daily dawn and dusk / evening game drives are conducted in open landrovers by qualified rangers and Shangaan trackers. Walks are also available.

Rise in the morning to an African dawn and enjoy an early morning game drive with your dedicated professional ranger. Relax as your ranger guides you through the bush on a custom made open Landrover, searching out the Big 5 or the smaller secrets of nature. Set out on a foot safari with your armed ranger and learn the secrets of tracking African game or just enjoy the trees, birds and stunning scenery. Return from the excitement of the bush to a sumptuous breakfast or brunch and then relax at the pool or the sala overlooking the waterhole where game may come to quench their thirst. In the afternoon, when the heat of the African sun has diminished and the shadows are longer, head out again on a sundowner safari, where you will stop to watch the sun set on this bushveld paradise and enjoy your favorite sundowner drink.
Once the sun has set and darkness descends, set off again for a night safari where the more nocturnal creatures now rule the bush. Return to the lodge where you will be treated to the finest Pan-African cuisine with your hosts in the open air boma, and share your days adventures, while you enjoy a night cap around the fire. This is a typical day here at Impodimo where your safari experience will unfold. All our rangers are highly qualified and experienced, and undergo regular evaluations and ongoing training to ensure that they are up to our very high standards.

Relax as your ranger guides you through the bush on a custom made open Land Rover searching out the secrets of nature. In the afternoon, when the heat of the African sun has diminished and the shadows are longer, head out on a sundowner safari to watch the sun set on this bushveld paradise and go in search of the more nocturnal creatures that now rule the bush.
Set out on a bush walk with your armed ranger and learn the art of tracking African game, enjoy the trees, birds and stunning scenery
Impodimo has the advantage out during the safaris, in that we have talented trackers on each game viewer that assists the ranger in finding the animals. Trackers make an immense difference as they have the ability to see and read the signs of the bush that others might have missed.
Children on Safari
Children of all ages are welcome at Impodimo and we love to go out of our way to ensure that kids and parents both have an unforgettable safari experience. Our kiddies program is tailored to the different ages and can be fun and educational for all. Each child receives a personalized welcome pack with goodies and activities to do in between safaris. Children over the age of 6 years are welcome on the game drives, however, families with younger children need not fear that their kids will miss out, as we offer a 'kiddies bumble' which is shorter and aimed at keeping the little one's attention.
Enjoy a sumptuous brunch at the pool lapa on return from your morning game drive, high tea in the afternoon overlooking the African Bush and the finest Pan-African cuisine with your hosts in the open air boma and share your adventures while you enjoy a night cap around the fire.
In our cooler winter months, we offer our guests the opportunity to explore the other side of the park with the ranger and tracker. Spend a day out in the bush, stopping for a picnic lunch in the shade.
Massage Treatments
A day in the bush is not complete without an in room massage treatment out on your private deck by one of our experienced massage therapists.
Impodimo is well known for its awesome game drives, led by top guides with Shangaan trackers. This combination has resulted in years of world class game viewing experiences for their guests. The lodge, with its unpretentious luxury, is unfenced and guests are immersed in the wildlife experience. Impodimo has an extremely active waterhole that attracts all manner of game every day, most of which walk past the chalets on their way to and from the water. Guests are always excited to see herds of game, including elephant and buffalo, literally on the end of their chalet deck passing by. Whilst this is definitely exciting, it doesn't always present the best photographic opportunities and once the game moves by, guests wanted to keep watching them and their fascinating behaviours. Whilst some chalets had a view of the waterhole, they are still situated quite far away (from a photographer's perspective) and Impodimo felt that this could be rectified.
Earlier in 2018 they decided to build a hide that would not just provide a safe place to view game at the water hole from, but a place that would bring them right into the thick of the action at the water's edge. It would also drop them down to a low angle, providing some of the most awesome photographic and viewing opportunities available. In true Impodimo style, they created a new space that is luxury, comfort and function without being pretentious at the same time as giving their guests a front row seat to the action. The hide is built underground and is accessed by means of a cavernous tunnel, displaying some amazing photography and art on the walls. Once you enter the hide at the end of the tunnel, there are many comforts available to guests, from a well-stocked refrigerator, a coffee machine and tea station as well as lounging areas and a library of books to help inspire you. All of this kept cool by an air conditioner. Of course, one doesn't visit a hide for the coffee! The viewing windows, which are at just the right height have 1-way glass so you can be completely hidden from the game or they can be opened for the perfect uninterrupted views. Once again, Impodimo thinks of the little things that make all the difference; they even provide bean bags to rest your camera on! The hide is suitable for night and day, giving guests an opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the many night visitors to the water hole.
Impodimo has always had a sala, which is a thatched gazebo, that overlooks our smaller waterhole and is just a quiet spot to enjoy nature and immerse yourself in the bush. It was perfect for 2 people, but some people did feel a little exposed in it when the big game was very close. We decided to give it a bit of a face lift and make it a bit bigger and a little less exposed. We doubled the size and included some canvas walls to improve the safety and the privacy. With the extra space, we can now offer massage treatments, or private dinners for special occasions or guests can just relax and watch the bush pass by in comfort and safety.
