Are thoughts of upgrading to D365 or undertaking a re-implementation of a legacy Dynamics AX product (AX 2012 or earlier) keeping you awake at night?
The amount of human resource hours it would take, as well as the consulting costs, licensing fees and even potential hardware upgrades combine to make the upgrade process something many IT pros avoid for as long as possible. We haven't even mentioned the horror stories of timelines that extend two years or more.
In our experience, with proper planning and preparation, it doesn't have to be a painful or costly initiative.
If you're experiencing increasingly complex business operations or attempting to keep pace with the rapid growth of your business — and your legacy version of AX just isn't keeping up — it's costing you money today. And certainly more so in the future.
It's time to explore your options.
CuroGens CEO Jesper Kehlet has been creating custom business solutions and perfecting complex implementations with Dynamics AX since he worked with the product's original development team. He knows the product's ins and outs and will share his knowledge of the value of upgrades and re-implementations during a webinar on March 14.
Through this live event you will gain a better understanding of the potential roadmaps to re-implementing your legacy solution, or upgrading to D365 or AX 2012 R3 CU13.
Attendance is limited, so register today.

China eyes shale gas future, but technology a hurdle -- business daily report
China expects to increase shale gas production from the current 200 million cubic meters to 30 billion cubic meters annually by 2020, its Ministry of Land and Resources has said, Meiri Jingji Xinwen business daily reported on Thursday.
But technological inferiority was the main obstacle to reaching this goal, said Wang Xiaokun, analyst at the country's leading energy analytical agency SCI99, quoted by the newspaper as saying that if the country secured the technology it needed, fuel production was expected to increase rapidly.
Current technology used hydraulic fracturing, requiring huge amounts of water at a time when China faced drinking water shortages, said the report. And no extensive pipeline network existed to deliver the volumes produced, it added, citing Chinese ministry figures of 200 million cubic meters produced in 2013. Production would rise to 6.5 billion cubic meters in 2015, the paper said.
Two operators will dominate shale gas production as the industry goes forward, according to previous TASS reports. PetroChina, a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, CNPC, will be in contention with rival Sinopec.
Sinopec is developing the Fuling field in southwest China's Sichuan province and is currently the leading producer. It plans to complete construction of production facilities at the field in 2015 with a view to increasing annual output to five billion cubic meters.
CNPC's current annual shale gas production does not exceed 100 million cubic meters.

No limits when it comes to firefighters' service
When a firefighter signs up for the job, they know that there is some risk involved in the job. Former chief of the Fire Department of New York Ed Crocker put it this way, "…when someone signs up to be a firefighter, they have just committed an act of bravery. Everything after that is all part of the job." I believe that the chief was referring to was on-duty acts that must be done. This story has to do with an off-duty firefighter and an act of bravery.
Another long shift away from his family was over for Cookeville, Tennessee, firefighter Toby Lee in May of this year. An uneventful morning drive home followed, and then he started into his routine. On this day, he started cutting the grass at his home. The sight of smoke caught his attention, and he followed it back to the source, which was the home of his elderly neighbor. He knew the neighbor's failing health and advanced age (she was 89 years old) kept her inside most days, so he knew he had to jump into action.
He ran to the front door and started screaming to the woman while hitting the front door repeatedly to get the woman's attention. It got the attention of another neighbor, who Toby instructed to call 911. With no answer at the front door, Toby went around to the back door and began pounding and screaming at his neighbor. He heard a faint cry for help, and knew he had to act. He broke out the window in the rear door and reached inside to open the door. He then entered, screaming out for the woman, who cried back to him.
With smoke swirling around, he found the woman and her niece inside the home, and informed them that they needed to get out of the home quickly. He took the lead, helped the woman and the niece followed along until they got out to safety. After leading them to an ambulance for medical attention, Toby went to the firefighters and assisted them with extinguishing the fire in his neighbor's home.
Most of us think that helping our neighbor involves grabbing their mail when they are away on a trip or putting the garbage cans up near their garage on pick-up day. Very few would do what Toby did to help a neighbor. This goes to prove what many of us have been saying for years: "Firefighters are just built a little differently." Our training keeps us calm and sizing-up the situation when others may be panicking. We know what the inside of a burning structure is like, while most have only seen television depictions of what Hollywood would like us to believe it is like. With our knowledge and willingness to help, jumping into harm's way to help a neighbor isn't new to many of us. We don't often think of ourselves as heroes, just as people doing our job.
Maybe this article is calling to you. Maybe you should consider being a firefighter here in Livingston County. Feel free to stop by any fire station or call us to find out more.
Lt. Tom Kiurski is a 30-year veteran of the fire service and serves the Brighton Area Fire Department as an instructor.

Bed-Stuy resident Van Walker is fighting to keep his home. According to Walker, the house he owned in Bed-Stuy fell into an illegal foreclosure which subsequently led to his eviction.
Walker, a longtime homeowner learned about his eviction in August, when a group of Kings County Sheriffs appeared at his house and asked him and his two children to vacate the premises within 30 minutes.
�They knocked on the door and said we could leave or they�d arrest me," said Walker outside of the property at 494 Halsey Street. �I didn�t even have time to get all of our stuff out of the house.�
Walker is now claiming that private investment company Mirbourne LLC, the plaintiff in the foreclosure action, obtained the mortgage illegitimately. Community advocate and former City Council candidate Julius Tajiddin, who has been assisting Walker in this case, supports this claim.
�The mortgage was assigned to Mirbourne LLC by FCDB SNPWL Trust, the previous owner of the mortgage, in early July 2009," said Tajiddin. "But there is no notary seal on the assignment, which is required under New York State law. There is also no printed name or any other notary information.�
Tajiddin also said that he is in possession of a document that shows that FCDB assigned the mortgage to another company, Vision Home Capital, three weeks after the assignment to Mirbourne.
�The document purports that it was specifically for the benefit of Vision Home Capital and not Mirbourne, which fully supports our claim that Mirbourne�s assignment is bogus,� he explained.
In 2016, Walker signed a settlement agreement with Mirbourne that required him to sell his home within six months or it would be theirs to sell. But when he found out about the mortgage assignment, which was not notarized, he filed a rescission to revoke the agreement, which the court ultimately agreed with Walker and dismissed the original agreement.
"They came to the court with fraudulent documents and tricked me into selling," Walker said.
"When I found out they didn't have a proper mortgage note I refused to sell," said Walker of his decision to file a rescission.
Assemblymember Tremaine Wright, who represents the 56th District including Bedford Stuyvesant, said her office is concerned about his story and others like it.
"We are looking into what is going on with foreclosures in Kings County because this and other cases have raised flags for us," Wright said." You don't want people displaced or without a home. I really want to advise folks who are facing foreclosure to seek out legal counsel.�
Mirbourne�s legal counsel declined to comment. Meanwhile, the company has listed the property for sale and is hosting open houses.
Since his eviction, Walker has been living in another home he owns in Bed-Stuy, but he doesn't plan on giving up.
"My funds are almost depleted, but I am trying to find a lawyer so I can really try to appeal the decision to hand over my home," said Walker. "But for now, I just want to share my story so people know that this type of thing happens."

Bulgarian designer Petar Dimitrov has designed a pair of lightweight inflatable snowshoes that can be packed into two bags .
The Pocket shoes surround the wearers' feet in an inflated tubular area, which aids them "float" across the snow whilst making sure the footwear stays lightweight.
Produced by Dimitrov's business Modest Foot, the footwear are made of an outer layer of coated synthetic material Cordura – each dress in-resistant and waterproof – and an inner bladder of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) plastic.
Relevant story: Audi Carbon Ski by Audi Notion Design and style Munich
The snowshoes have been created to be universally compatible with all footwear, and incorporate stainless steel powder-coated crampons that buckle to the bottom of the wearer's own shoe to help grip the snow and ice. A raised lip at the toe of the sneakers aids provide leverage while climbing steep inclines.
Collectively the snowshoes weigh just over a kilo. As they are each smaller sized and lighter than traditional designs, they can be deflated and folded down into two carry bags – total with a mini pump for inflating.
The designer came up with the thought following obtaining himself caught in the wilderness in deep snow, during a ski session. With several of the present patterns on the market place bulky and heavy, Dimitrov made a decision to create an different that would be light-weight and handy to carry.

The first inflatable prototypes were sent out to the ISPO Brand New Awards, and produced it to the final of the Progressive Items category.
Snowshoes set
Because then the footwear have been field-examined by the Bulgarian Mountain Rescue Group, and approved by the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute, who pronounced them "comfy and secure although walking on snow", "light" and "ergonomic".
Snowshoes evolution
Dimitrov founded Tiny Foot four many years in the past, and is at the moment in search of funding by way of a Kickstarter campaign to carry the product to marketplace.
Other innovative sport-shoe design covered by Dezeen incorporate the Swiss Barefoot Company's more powerful-than-steel foot gloves, trainers created making use of recycled plastic harvested from the ocean, and the world's first knitted football boot by Adidas.

Everyday Play with Painting
- July 15, 2015

Painting Under the trees
I have always loved Georgia O'Keefe's painting, the D H Lawrence Pine Tree. Our Ruth Washburn Summer Farm Camp for five year olds provided the perfect opportunity to share this favorite painting with children in an outdoor setting . Sitting under a grand pine tree at Redstone Castle, children commented on the painting: "it's an octopus in space!", "a spider!" a "tree!" When we lay back and looked up from underneath our pine tree, Georgia O'Keefe's Lawrence Pine Tree became clear to all. Children recognized the trunk, branches and a night sky. Letting children respond to the painting and then setting them loose to draw, paint and observe outdoors was the plan and this is what we did. Each child eagerly embraced the chance to create their own piece of art representing their unique and individual perspective. It was glorious time spent!
A simple outdoor easel/clipboard can be made with sturdy cardboard back, paper, hole punch, rubber band and pencil-size stick. Lay under a tree and look up. Provide him/her with paint, pencil, watercolors, pastels, crayons—any tool for creating art. Let me know what happens!
The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is presenting an exhibition featuring Georgia O'Keefe paintings through September 13th. Consider a family field trip.
Special thanks to Dan and Gail Stuart who offered their lovely property, Redstone Castle in Manitou Springs, to our school for the week-long Farm Camp.

St. Petersburg Times Examines HIV/AIDS Among African Americans in Florida, Nationwide
The St. Petersburg Times on Monday examined the "devastating toll" HIV/AIDS is having in African-American communities in Florida and nationwide. An estimated 2% of African Americans nationwide are HIV-positive, meaning they are 10 times as likely as whites to be HIV-positive. According to advocates, many African Americans do not know the disease is a "serious threat," and "[t]hose who do often are unwilling to talk about it," the Times reports. Phill Wilson, executive director of the Black AIDS Institute, said that HIV/AIDS "has not been part of our consciousness," adding, "The perception that AIDS is primarily, if not exclusively, a white gay disease persists to this day. As a result, traditional black institutions have been slow to respond. It gave the virus an opportunity to get out of control in our community" (Franklin/Greene, St. Petersburg Times, 3/14).

Gentoo on my laptop
I spent the greater portion of the last two weeks installing Gentoo on my laptop. I wanted to get more in depth with Linux internals and administration and additionally my laptop is somewhat underpowered and it benefitted greatly from doing a source install rather than a binary install. Things are much snappier under Gentoo than they were under Mandrake--which is the Linux distribution I used prior.
I have ALSA, APM, Gnome (with Metacity), Xmms, GDM, vim, pure-ftpd, X, gcc 3.2, pcmcia with a wireless ethernet card (SMC 2632) and a series of other things all installed and working happily with everything else.
The Gentoo forums are great for help as is the mailing list. I found I was able to fix all my problems without too much looking around.
At some point I may post the various configurations involved in getting ALSA and the wireless pcmcia stuff working--that was probably the hardest part and required the most tinkering. The rest was cake.

I finished the tulip quilt yesterday. That's a half yard out, one item off the Short List and a finish for my March Lovely Year of Finishes. No fabric in this week.
That freed me up to start the next quilt in the "squares" series. I'm playing with quilt designs using only one shape to complete an exercise in The Visual Dance by Joen Wolfrom, which I'm working my way through this year.
I'm back to using charm squares from the swap several years ago. This time I'm working in the fall color palette. Half the fabrics are from the swap, the other half are from stash.
This quilt feels flat to me. The first quilt used fabrics with bright large-scale prints, and that made it interesting. This quilt says it needs some gray and very light blue to liven it up. It definitely needs something. It may come down to the quilting.

Ducati Desmosedici is a single-seater three-wheeled electric motorcycle for children over 2 years old. This model combines the stylish design of a racing bike with the safety and comfort of a touring device. On a tricycle, your child can travel on hard and fairly flat roads, with a maximum slope of no more than 5%.
The design of the electric motorcycle will not leave a child indifferent. Red and black body colours and bright decals make the electric vehicle stylish and memorable. The appearance matches a real motorcycle quite closely. The windshield, powerful wheels and footrests are particularly noteworthy.
The electric motorcycle is controlled by one pedal. By pressing on it, the young racer starts to move and increases speed, and when released, he slows down and stops. The set and release of speed occur smoothly, without jerking, so as not to harm your child and not frighten him. Klaxon will help the young rider to warn everyone about his approach.

A fellow member on Go Firefox! posted me a link to this article from Wired News today. An anonymous spammer wrote into Wired News claiming to be "one of the spammers behind (the) Blue Security scandal". There is one paragraph of the article that stands out and shows the effect that the Blue Frog is having on their business.
"The point of it is to get Blue Frog software to stop turning its subscribers' computers into zombies that attack our servers," the spammer wrote. "If you want to be removed from our mailing list, please opt out first."
If only it were that simple! Many users who have 'opt-out' via the links (if there is one) in these messages find they suddenly get more Spam, are directed to a non-working or bogus site and worse yet, have to jump through hops just to get their e-mail address removed. Here's a better idea Mister Russian Spammer, stop sending the e-mails to begin with, we never wanted to get them in the first place! Oh wait, that would put you out of business!
The comment on this article by kamikazi150, that is well worth taking the time to read. It may be a little long but this person is very through and to the point.

BREAKING: Shaka Smart Leaving Texas; Longhorns To Pursue Texas Tech Coach
Whether you're at the end of your coffee, your day, your week or even your rope, welcome to Whitt's End 3.26.21 …
*In the wake of winning the school's first Big XIIConference tournament title, Texas basketball coach Shaka Smart should be fired. There, I said it.
But instead, it seems, Shaka is engineering his own exit ... and things are happening so quickly in Austin that the Longhorns may already have their eye on a replacement.
Let's review ...
As a long-time observer of Longhorns hoops, I was thrilled when Smart arrived in Austin in 2015. He took tiny Virginia Commonwealth to the Final Four in 2011, and with his trademark "Havoc" full-court press fueled by Texas' superior athletes surely he would restore some burnt orange glory and flirt with a national championship.
But six years later, nope. Not even close.
Texas' highlight under Smart: Winning the NIT in 2019. The lowlight: An embarrassing loss to Abilene Christian in last week's first round of March Madness.
Smart is merely the author of one of the nation's most overhyped, underperforming programs. He's won only 56 percent of his games, is 0-3 in the NCAA tourney (with losses to Northern Iowa, Nevada and ACU), failed to establish an identity and, worst of all, wasted promising careers and NBA talent.
Texas' roster during Smart's tenure has included Mo Bamba, Jarrett Allen and Jaxson Hayes, all playing in basketball's best league. And this year his team featured quality guards Matt Coleman, Andrew Jones and Courtney Ramey, and big men Jericho Sims and Kai Jones. The latter two are also destined to play in the NBA.
Bestowed that level of talent and not being able to win a game – just one – in March Madness over six seasons is a fireable offense.
This season – with the college-basketball luxury of having his two best players (Coleman and Sims) being seniors – Smart's Horns were ranked as high as No. 4. But they regressed as the season progressed. Teammates fought in huddles during games. Highly-touted freshman Greg Brown's immense talent couldn't be harnessed. Smart's team was consistently out-coached, consistently failing to create good looks on end-of-game possessions. They won playground games with fast tempos when their raw athleticism was allowed to flourish. They won games where Jones bailed out awful execution with clutch jumpers. And they won the Big XII tournament, thanks to a lucky first-round escape against Texas Tech and a COVID walkover "win" against Kansas.
But against Abilene Christian – which was throttled by 20 points by UCLA two nights later – the Longhorns were suckered into a slow-down game decided on fundamentals, half-court execution and basketball IQ.
The result: Texas committed 23 turnovers and made only 18 shots. Smart's worst year at VCU was better than his best year at Texas.
My position going into this week? I'd seen enough; this should be his last year in Austin.
The new position today? Shaka is off to Marquette (inside scoop here) and Texas, as first reported by LonghornsCountry.com, is already hot on the trail of chasing Chris Beard of Texas Tech. "On the trail'' meaning, according to our sources, "actively pursuing.'' Like, right now.
*Perspective, personified. Mark Cuban forced Avery Johnson to coach without contract security in 2008, then fired him after the Dallas Mavericks' first-round playoff loss.
Jerry Jones did the same with Jason Garrett after the Dallas Cowboys' head coach went 8-8 and missed the postseason in 2019.
The Texas Rangers are taking a much different approach to lame-duck coaching, avoiding the scenario altogether this week by awarding manager Chris Woodward by exercising their 2022 option, a sort of one-year contract extension.
The situations are obviously diverse.
The 2008 Mavericks were coming off a 67-win season with lofty expectations. The 2019 Cowboys were talented, but stuck on the .500 treadmill.
The Rangers, meanwhile, are near the rock bottom of their rebuilding. With Woodward entering the final year of his initial three-year deal signed in 2018, no reason to add undue pressure and unrealistic expectations to a manager who will not be judged by anything that occurs in 2021.
Still, it's fascinating how Johnson and Garrett were dangled as lame ducks and then fired for not having post-season success, while Woodward (who is 100-122 in Arlington) is rewarded with long-term security for having not chance at it.
*It wasn't a major deal. But then again, it was better than a "we like our boys in blue" non-deal.
The Mavs essentially found a replacement for Seth Curry at Thursday's trade deadline, acquiring 36-year-old sharpshooter J.J. Redick and forward Nicolo Melli in a deal sending James Johnson, Wes Iwundu and a second-round draft pick to the Pelicans.
READ MORE: Where Does JJ Redick Fit With The Mavs After NBA Deadline?
Though it doesn't net the Mavs a Cuban-desired "game-changer star" (see: John Collins), it's hard not to like the move.
Dallas improves its disappointing, 15th-ranked 3-point shooting and also preserves its coveted cap space heading into the summer since Redick and Melli will both become free agents.
Redick has carved out a 14-year career by floating to open spaces and knocking down open jumpers.
Happiest man about his arrival: Luka Doncic.
*Given hindsight, how does Mike McCarthy explain the historically horrendous Cowboys defense of 2020?
"We tried to change too much ... we went in with too much volume," he said.
Not gonna lie, I'm saving that excuse for my biggest 2021 gaffes.
"Went in with too much volume" should get me out of a lot of jams.
*It's the day after Thanksgiving 2017 and Adam Darrow is about to teach me a lesson. I'm playing golf at Twin Creeks in Allen with my childhood best friend and Adam, his daughter's new boyfriend. The kid is supposed to be a hotshot. Played at Indiana/Purdue University, qualified for the U.S. Amateur and scuttled around the then-Nike Tour for a couple seasons.
Having had a few festive holiday cocktails the night before, none of us felt particularly skippy. But Adam was a mess. Shanking here. Topping there. Taking forever over putts because "I dunno, it's like I'm seeing two balls."
We blamed it on his hangover, and ridiculed him non-stop for four hours.
Two weeks later, he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.
During his 3.5-year battle he never lost his sense of humor, nor his love of Notre Dame football, St. Louis Cardinals baseball, Nike shoes or, yep, golf.
The lesson he rendered: Stay true to yourself and, even in the midst of unfathomable tragedy, focus on the positive.

The horrible disease took away Adam's ability to walk, then talk. By last week, he could only communicate via blinking. We buried him Thursday, at age 39.
Moral to the story: Hug your loved ones and stop putting stuff off. Because you never know …
*Aldon Smith's effectiveness eroded as the 2020 season wore on, I get it. But in a dismal defensive year, he was the bright spot. One of only two Cowboys to start every game on defense, he was second on the team with five sacks. Only one of those came over the final 10 games and Smith, of course, is saddled with well-chronicled risks.
But without him, who gets after the quarterback? DeMarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory combined for 10 sacks. After that, it's ghosts. Doesn't help that veteran leader Tyrone Crawford up and retired. Former Jet Tarell Basham and co-free agents Carlos Watkins and Brent Urban might help. We saw in the Super Bowl how pocket pressure can transform even Patrick Mahomes into a mortal.
READ MORE: Dallas Cowboys 'Moving On' From Aldon Smith? Inside Coach McCarthy Explanation
The Cowboys cutting ties with affordable, productive pass rushers seems curious, if not confounding. ... unless you read our Mike Fisher's scoop on the real reason Dallas and Smith are no longer together.
*34. 31. 29. A reminder that football is physically violent and psychologically taxing and players' careers are fleeting, those are the ages of retirement of Sean Lee (probably), Crawford and Travis Frederick.
Andrew Luck was 29. Barry Sanders only 30. And all the sudden Troy Aikman has been a Fox analyst (20 years) for almost twice as long as he was Cowboys' quarterback (12 years).
Don't blink, because they'll be gone.
*The Rangers host the Blue Jays at Globe Life Field in 10 days. Plenty of time to get to know this team. Chances are, you're going to need it. Joey Gallo and Isiah Kiner-Falefa and … that's it. Otherwise, we're starting from scratch. Gone are Elvis Andrus and Lance Lynn. Get ready for names like Brock Holt, Leody Taveras, Eli White, Dane Dunning, Wes Benjamin, John King and Jonah Heim. Oh, and also get ready for 90+ losses.
*Goodbye, Fox Sports Southwest. Hello, Bally? Back in the day, Bally's was a chain of fitness centers. Then the name became synonymous with casinos.
But TV?
Sure enough, as of Wednesday the cable network where you get your Mavs, Rangers and Dallas Stars games will officially be Bally Sports Southwest. Other than the name change, it doesn't mean much. The regional network will keep the same teams' games and remain on the same channel on your TV guide.
*Another mass shooting. Another reason to post this gun-control column I wrote for CBS almost 10 years ago. Still sad. Because it's still true.
*A group of scientists got together in Dallas in 1967 and nailed 2020. The Internet. iPhones. Zoom meetings. Surreal. "Most businesses and homes are likely to be equipped with simple satellite communication terminals," said Francis Gicca, manager of space communication systems for Raytheon, who attended the convention. "The terminals will be links with markets, permitting housewives to dial a purchase, and libraries, permitting students to dial a book." Kinda spooky. All they missed was the 2020 bit about COVID.
*March Badness. Despite North Texas' upset of Purdue last week, DFW's March Madness air ball continues. Metroplex teams (SMU, TCU, UNT and UTA) have won only four tournament games in the last 32 years and haven't advanced past the second round in 51.
*Seeing a lot of TV commercials where the driver of a fancy new car brags about assisted parallel parking. Hands off the steering wheel. Big smile. We see the car begin the backing-up maneuver and then … cut to it being perfectly parked.
But wait, why can't we watch the entire process? What are they hiding via editing? It's like beer commercials where everyone laughs and orders and cajoles, but no one ever actually takes a sip. My hunch is that it's exactly like the Austin Powers luggage cart scene: a million little back-and-forths before it's finally parked. In this case yes, in fact, we do want to see how the sausage is made.
Dare ya!
*You like blowouts? Tune in to the Mavs. They clobbered the Blazers by 40 the other night. Wednesday they led the Timberwolves by 20 in another easy win. Of course, they famously led the Clippers by an NBA-record 50 at halftime back in December.
When they're on, they're on. Since 2018 there have been 24 NBA games decided by 40+ points. Mavs have won six of them, most by any team.
*Okay dangit, for the last time, is it Donuts or Doughnuts?
*Stumbled upon Jimmy Fallon the other night and thought it was some sorta Twilight Zone repeat from like 1988. Because the musical guest was, I kid you not, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. Hadn't thought of the Dallas-based group in years. Figured they'd long ago disbanded but, nope, they just released a new album. Whatd'ya know?
*We may be tired of COVID, but COVID isn't quite done with us. Texas halted Spring football practices this week because of an outbreak stemming from – you guessed it – a group of players' trip to Miami for Spring Break.
*The founder and CEO of the Texas Roadhouse chain restaurant died last week at 65. Couple strange tidbits: Struggled with post-COVID. Committed suicide. Wasn't born in Texas. Didn't start his business here, either. Hmm.
*Mock drafts be damned, the Cowboys better nab Alabama cornerback Patrick Surtain if he's available at No. 10. Or else.
It simply makes too much sense. Chidobe Awuzie is gone in free agency. With Surtain, Trevon Diggs and Donovan Wilson, the Cowboys would suddenly have three playmakers in a secondary that has longed for just one for what feels like decades.

In fairness, maybe Keanu Neal (signed) and Damontae Kazee (signed), both ex-Dan Quinn Falcons, can make plays, too. Maybe.
*If you're like me, you're still trying to figure out exactly what Bitcoin is when along comes this trendy acronym, NFT, to make you feel even more out of touch. It's everywhere. Even Cuban is tweeting about it. As a public service, NFT stands for "non-fungible token." It's a unit of data on a digital ledger called a blockchain, where each NFT can represent a unique digital item, and thus they are not interchangeable. NFTs can represent digital files such as art, audio, videos, items in video games and other forms of creative work. In other words, I have no idea what NFT is. Or, for that matter, Bitcoin.
*Inexcusable for the Mavs to not only make the playoffs, but drastically improve their seeding down the stretch of the regular season. Only six of their remaining 30 games are against teams with winning records, and none of those are on the road.
*Before you trash the Cowboys' seemingly "cheap" free-agent haul highlighted by Keanu Neal and Jayron Kearse, etc., consider that it will be difficult to be more inept than 2020. A year ago they signed the likes of Gerald McCoy, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Dontari Poe, Adrian Griffen and Daryl Worley. Yikes, indeed.
*Made my bed the other day and then stopped and thought, "Why don't I also tie my shoes when I'm not wearing them?".
*Heard a lady in a restaurant this week place her order. "I'm gonna do the nachos." Do them? Really? Want them, sure. Order them, of course. But what bizarre brainstorming brought us to authorize "do" in that sentence? We are so weird. And, yes, I'm even weirder for realizing how weird we are.
*For all you who constantly decry "Jerry only cares about money!", put this in your pipe and smoke it. He's donating $20 million to help build the National Medal of Honor Museum, to be constructed in Arlington by 2024. The museum will honor the 3,500members of the American armed forces who have received the award, the nation's highest for military valor.
*This Weekend? Saturday let's pretend not to be 50-something and compete in the Spartan DEKA FIT challenge in the Cotton Bowl. Sunday let's be reminded that we're 50-something, complete with ice packs, Advil and quality couch time. As always, don't be a stranger.

You will be accompanied by one other vehicle, typically booked by a couple, with a lead vehicle at the front showing the way. There will be planned stops en route but you are still free to do your own activities and excursions, which we can of course book in advance for you. In the evenings, you will join the guide and the people travelling in the other vehicle, at your accommodation for the night, and it is normal for the group to join together for an evening meal and a few drinks.
If you think you may prefer an unguided, self-drive experience then please talk to our experts.
Begin on the outskirts of Liverpool, before heading south and into Wales. Passing through Shropshire and then Monmouthshire, stop along the way at an award-winning organic farm and take a stroll to visit the beautiful local challenge.

January is usually the coldest month of the year and also when you're most likely to experience clear and frosty days but with blue skies and crisp mornings. Perfect conditions for winter walks, if dressed suitably.
You may experience snowfall in February and temperatures will still be relatively cold. In the south of the United Kingdom, snowdrops begin to emerge, particularly in woodland areas and you'll see the first sprouts of wild garlic.
The weather gradually begins to improve in March as the Spring season starts to get underway. Temperatures begin to rise and spring flowers appear, both on the ground and as blossom on the trees. The rugby Six Nations Championship is held during February or March when England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France and Italy all go head to head.
April can be a little unpredictable for the weather; it can be warm and sunny or it can be a very rainy month. Towards the end of April swathes of bluebells cover ancient woodland areas and meadows burst into colour.
The weather is usually warm during May. The month has two Bank Holiday weekends, which can be particularly busy as British people make the most of this time off work. There are quite a few festivals that will take place from May through to August, making the most of the sunshine, so talk to our experts as to what you can get involved in.
The warm weather continues through to June. There are quite a few festivals that will take place from May through to August, making the most of the sunshine, so talk to our experts as to what you can get involved in.

September often has warmer and drier weather than August, and the summer crowds start to disperse as schools reopen.
The autumn leaves are at their best, most vibrant russet shades during October with around, on average about 10 days of rain. Temperatures are cooler and some sites in more rural areas start to close for winter.
In early November the autumn leaves are still in full show, but mountainous areas may experience snow and daylight is restricted to around seven hours in northern Scotland. The weather is usually cool and damp, although it's not uncommon to have wonderful cold, dry spells. The UK acknowledges daylight saving time on November 1 and the clocks will be set back by one hour
December is usually cold and damp, with little foliage and the least daylight hours of the year (fewer than seven in the north of Scotland).

After not one but two delays, Super Nintendo World finally opened today. As Being Kansai reports, lines started forming by 6:30 AM, with a good crowd forming within an hour.
Although Osaka lifted the state of emergency earlier this month (Tokyo is currently still under one), with people congregating, waiting inside, and eating in restaurants, obviously covid-19 is still a concern.
Plus, kids are out for spring holidays, so the crowds, even during the pandemic, have been expected. But people are thankfully in masks at the park—and even in the Nintendo promotional images.
Universal Studios Japan has been limiting people in the Super Nintendo World area, just as it typically does for the Harry Potter section.
The wait for Mario Kart hit 50 minutes, while Yoshi's Adventure was around 35 minutes. In comparison, The Flying Dinosaur was an hour and Hollywood Dream was over an hour. By limiting people in the Nintendo area, Universal Studios Japan can keep the wait times down. Hopefully.
If you want to see what opening day was like, check out YouTuber Bakuchou Kaichou's clips below, which provide a glimpse of how the day went.
Don't forget the food!

The wrestling career of Shad Gaspard may not be the stuff that makes legends, or one that deserves a first-ballot nomination in the WWE Hall of Fame. But the man behind that career is one-of-a-kind: one that convinces us—and reinforces in us—that the kind things that we do in our lives have more impact than a finishing maneuver. Being remembered as a great professional wrestler is one thing, but there are more important things than titles, winning streaks, or legendary performances in the ring.
Things like selflessness. Or determination. Or fatherhood.
The body of Shad Gaspard—one-half of Cryme Tyme—was found at Venice Beach, California: days after he was reported missing on Sunday. While swimming with his 10-year-old son, Gaspard was caught in a rip current. Despite the strong waves, Gaspard told rescuers to save his son first; shortly after, the current finally caught Gaspard and swept him away, triggering a search that, soon after, awakened his friends and family—and the rest of wrestling fandom—to his tragic passing.
Gaspard was 39.
Gaspard began as a prizefighter, regularly winning bar fighting tournaments at the age of 16, on top of his sports accomplishments at school. He eventually served as a bodyguard for some high-profile celebrities like Puff Daddy and Britney Spears. After getting disqualified from Tough Enough 2, Gaspard continued his dogged pursuit of a professional wrestling career: eventually debuting in Ohio Valley Wrestling in 2003.
In 2006, alongside Jayson Paul (then known as The Neighborhoodie, more popularly known as JTG), Gaspard formed the tag team known as Cryme Tyme. The duo was called up from the developmental territory in 2006 to debut on WWE RAW, defeating the Spirit Squad. In Cryme Tyme, Shad emerged as the duo's "enforcer" figure: an imposing presence who powered through his opponents with surprising bursts of athleticism that you would expect from a cruiserweight. Shad was also able to communicate well, breaking through the promo barriers usually associated with big men in the ring.
Modern professional wrestling has relegated tag team wrestling to the background: filler content to singles action and storyline promos, with very little exposure given to a discipline rich in history and demanding exceptional chemistry. Cheering for tag teams is one thing, but it's always something baffling—and special—when tag teams reach mainstream popularity in the contemporary era. Despite playing into "fun" stereotypes of the black community, Cryme Tyme made the most of what they had and made it work: while Shad and JTG were not able to convert their crowd popularity into a WWE Tag Team Championship, the team was still able to shine front-and-center in some memorable moments at the wane of Ruthless Aggression: from teaming with John Cena, to humorous skits with King Booker.
By the time Cryme Tyme has run its course—and Shad turned heel by attacking JTG—it was clear that the sun may have dawned on Shad's wrestling career. Cryme Tyme reunited in the independent scene in 2012 all the way until recent memory, with Shad parlaying his talents to pursuits like acting, art, the stage, and television. Shad even made local headlines in 2016, when he was able to foil an armed robbery in Florida.
By now, many of you would have heard of Shad's heroic act: to save his son at the cost of his own life. In that sobering catalog of wrestling deaths - where old age, substance abuse, and macabre circumstances fill up entire pages—Shad's passing deserves to be spoken of with great respect. Not only for the passing of a wrestler but for the passing of a father.
Shad may not have had the most stellar career in wrestling: one could argue at length of how he could have reached insane heights had he not been saddled with his gimmick. But he made the most of what he had, and that sense of fun and excitement was something that radiated from him so much that it endeared him to so many fans all around the globe. And his heroic act will be remembered for years to come, and his name will be revered by fans worldwide. We may all forget how Shad was one of the most overlooked athletic big men in the WWE roster during his time. We may all forget how Cryme Tyme could have been bigger than what it was. We may all forget what it would have been like if they shone the spotlight on Shad as a singles competitor.
But what we will never forget is how in the moment of his death, Shad became the father that most of us can only hope to be. Not that we all morbidly dream of making supreme sacrifices for our children, but Shad did so with a love that all of us should remember and emulate.
Shad may not have been a wrestling legend. He may not have had numerous titles. He may not be a sure-fire Hall of Famer. But those things don't matter as much when you realize who Shad was in his passing: a father and a hero.

Love child: Baby born with pink heart shaped birthmark
Meet the special baby born with a heart shaped birthmark on his forehead.
New parents Murat Engin, 30, and his wife Ceyda, 28, couldn't believe their eyes when their baby Cinar was born with a red mark on his forehead.
The tot was such a star in the delivery room that even the nurses took selfies with him.
Çınar, 14 month old, is the first in the family with the special love heart mark.
And his besotted parents say he has lots of fans who want to stop and snap photos with this 'love child'.
Murat from Ankara in Turkey, said: "We love him and his birthmark.
"After a nurse cleaned the bloods on his head I was the first who see the birthmark on his head.
"I was really surprised. When I came to close his head I realised that it was an amazing heart.
"It was difficult for me to keep my tears.
"The nurse screamed like "Oh my good unbelievable, he is a love baby.".
"Then 3 others came and got some selfies.
"When his mother saw him and his birthmark, she started to cry.
"It was really like a gift from God. None of us had negative feelings.
"We believe that he was born with his chance."
Cinar, who is the first in his family to have the adorable mark, has said they have lots of admirers.
He said: "When we walk around, all people smile us and love him.
"All of our friends are curious about his birthmark because of its heart-shape.
"They say that he is a love baby.
"When we go to hospital for custom control, nurses and doctors know him and called him as "Hearted boy". He already has many fans."

Rekindled {Book Promotion}
I received a copy of "Rekindled" ($35.99 value) in exchange for this promotion. Any opinions expressed here are honest and my own."
Rekindled is a historical fiction about how Roger Williams becomes the original architect of the separation of church and state. He must survive the men that intend to silence him in order to engineer and demonstrate a new society structure that will protect people voicing ideas and heartfelt convictions while keeping civil peace. If he fails, the tragedy of needless loss of life and livelihood will continue unabated on both sides of the Atlantic. Roger Williams obtained the first charter for the colony of Rhode Island in 1644, as an explicit experiment in the separation of church and state.
Even though Rekindled is a historical fiction…you will learn plenty of facts of people, church, state, etc and you will wonder if it all isn't a non-fiction book. The Author, Teresa Irizarry really did her homework when researching and was able to share so much detail. She also shares a great Appendix in the back of the book explaining excepts, family trees and list of characters to dig even deeper and background of this worthy cause.
If you're a historical fiction reader looking for that next book that keeps you coming back for more, this biggie of 475 pages will fit the bill. Get your copy today at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and bookstore.authorhouse.com.
More about the Author
Teresa Irizarry worked as an engineer for a large corporation for several decades. She noticed that it was Roger Williams's enemies that controlled the narrative, and used her trouble-shooting skills in going back to the original sources to discover a new perspective on the Roger Williams. During her career she met memorable, brilliant people from all over the world who were pursuing the American dream, a dream forged in part in the previously de-emphasized or forgotten parts of this story.
Sidenote: Author Teresa Irizarry's son was disappointed when he didn't find his idol Chuck Yeager listed anywhere in his family tree while doing research for a school project. Just as her son considered Chuck Yeager to be an important part of his life, however removed their relationship may actually be, Irizarry idolizes Roger Williams, an important player in our nation's history. In her new historical fiction, "Rekindled," Irizarry takes readers back in time to discover the real founder of the separation of church and state, Roger Williams.

Miriam Gordon | http://www.linkedin.com/in/miriamgordonphd
What do you do?
I read and write about science (mostly biomedical) and society. I write PR documents for a large health system. I edit manuscripts and grants for clinicians and clinical medical or basic biomedical research journals, and some regulatory documents related to clinical trial research.
What do you see as the biggest opportunity in your industry?
To bring to light scientific concepts that are swept under the carpet because they fly in the face of society's perceptions.
What impact will changes in your industry have on consumers? the world?
Hopefully, as communications technology develops, more important, relevant and accurate scientific information will be conveyed more efficiently and creatively to the people who need it most.
What is your biggest goal right now?
Begin writing my own stuff.
What kind of support or types of people do you need to accelerate your success?
A Guggenheim Fellowship would be nice 😉
Seriously – I need my husband, sister, Mom and close friends to be 100% behind me in order to create what I want to create. I need a lot of moral support and encouragement. I need people I can talk to who understand and are interested in what I want to write.
What makes you or your work different from everybody else?
I was trained as a research scientist and took a nontraditional career path into science writing. My unique personality traits (high sensitivity, introvert, ADD) give me a very deep and unique perspective on the way scientific knowledge is acquired and disseminated, as well as the desire to convey these ideas to a lay audience in an engaging, effective way.
Thank you!

We've all seen the image. Maybe a Facebook friend posts it along with an inspirational quote below the image of a woman standing on the beach, her arms wide-spread, maybe a scarf is billowing in the breeze. Of course, she's beautiful, young, and thin. She's healthy and strong. Of course, she is. She is powerful, because she is embracing change. The quote is always about change. Maybe one of these:
"Change or die." – Alan Deutschman
"It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change." – Charles Darwin
"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." – Gandhi
"They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself." – Andy Warhol
Think about how many times you've seen similar images in advertising or on social media encouraging you to make changes in your life. The idea of embracing change, changing who you are, is being pushed down our throats. Our lives are filled with subtle messages of "if only." If only I lost weight, or exercised regularly my life would be better. If my husband took a certain pill, we would become passionate. Maybe we'd even have matching outdoor bathtubs to watch the sunset as we sipped on a glass of wine. Our world is filled with images and suggestions of what we need to change in order to make our lives happier, maybe even perfect. We have become a society addicted to change. We have forgotten how to be satisfied with what we have or being who we are.
My own life has certainly been full of changes. Many of those changes have been unwelcome in my life. T and I once had a cynical and depressing private joke that tragedy hit our lives on a 15-month cycle. Someone would die, be seriously injured, or seriously ill, and our lives would be turned upside down. The calm before the next storm hit seemed to be on a 15-month cycle. Thankfully, not every change that came into our lives has been tragic. In the midst of terrible tragedies and loss, we were blessed with happy changes, too. Four beautiful children have brought us an endless amount of happiness and love even in the midst of our very worst times.
Almost two years ago now, which is almost impossible to image, we changed absolutely everything in our lives. It would be accurate to say that we, or at least I did, picked up and moved. I'm sure that's how our friends and family saw our move, but it was much more complicated than that. We sold two homes; one my childhood home, and the other the home where we raised our children. We quit our jobs and embarked on new careers in a new and very different place. On one hand, it was an easy move to make. We were ready for change. We embraced the change. But on the other hand, it was excruciatingly difficult and emotional. Our family lived apart for six months. Leaving behind the entire lives we once knew hasn't been an easy thing to do. I still get homesick sometimes, but on the whole, this move has been a good thing for both of us and for our entire family.
Over the past few months, T and I have had an ongoing conversation. "What next?" Now that we know we are capable of making such dramatic and positive changes in our lives, we are ready to chart the course for the next change. We have unknowingly created momentum. After years of feeling stuck in one place, we shook up the status quo in our lives. Our conversations keep circling back to that question that lies just beneath the surface like an ember waiting for us to fan it into flames once again. "What next?"
We have purchased a house, and we have enjoyed painting each room. We crank up the music and work together as we have done for years. This is how we relax on the weekends. We moved on to remodel the kitchen and replace light fixtures. Now we're in the beginning stages of a basement remodeling project. Last night, T talked about completely gutting and remodeling the master bathroom next.
"Didn't you and Dad buy this house because it didn't need any work, Mom." said one of my sons during his stay at Christmastime. I told him that we're enjoying each project. These are easy projects when we compare them to ones we previously tackled on our big, 100 year old house back "home."
When we're not working on the house, the question comes up again and again. "What next?" So we talk about taking a trip. Maybe a trip is what we need, and we'll fill an hour discussing possible locations and what dates might work into both of our schedules.
The question of the permanency of our situation comes up almost as often as the "What next?" question. Do we like it here? Is this where we'll stay? Do we want Lola to go to such a large high school? Do we want to raise her in a city and so very differently than we raised our other children? Should we stay here for a while and come up with an exit plan…..a what next plan?
To say that I've been feeling unsettled is an understatement. I work hard, and then I come home and work hard. Quiet, calm moments have been few and far between these past two years. Changing, moving, and adjusting – not only for myself, but worrying about how those around me are adjusting – has been a bit exhausting. Pushing myself from one thing to the next, one project to the next, has been my way of keeping the thoughts and exhaustion at bay.
I've been doing a lot of reading lately about just BEING. It finally hit me. I don't have to keep changing every single day. I don't have to have a grand plan for next year or the year after that right now. I can sit in a chair and read a book. I can watch a movie and eat a bowl of popcorn. I can have a conversation that isn't productive at all. I can just BE.
Last weekend, T and I watched about a dozen episodes of Hotel Impossible. We watched a couple of movies. We played Yahtzee. Basically, we did nothing but hang out in the living room.
Relaxing for an entire weekend felt strange. I was excited to get back to work on Monday and to get back into a more productive routine. But isn't that what weekends are supposed to be all about? Downtime, a time to relax and refresh our minds and bodies, is something that feels new and unfamiliar to me. I'm not sure why, but I feel a strange sense of distrust at the idea of relaxing. Is this really something I should be doing?
T and I have agreed to put a hiatus on the question of "What next?" The future has a way of revealing itself no matter how carefully we plan or where we expect the path to lead us.

- More taxis plying the roads and more commuters able to get taxis since implementation of Taxi Availability standards
- Adjustments made to third year Taxi Availability standards following review of data and feedback from taxi drivers and taxi companies
1. Taxi commuters are now better served in the second year of the Taxi Availability (TA) framework, with more taxis plying the roads, and hired more of the time.
2. Since the introduction of the TA standards on 1 January 2013, the percentage of taxis on the roads during peak hours has increased from about 82% in 2012 to 87% in the first nine months of this year. This translates to over 1,400 more taxis being available to commuters during these hours. Over the same period, the percentage of taxis plying at least 250km daily has also increased, from 75% to 79%. The daily taxi utilisation rate, or the proportion of total taxi mileage under hire, has likewise increased, from about 65% in 2013 to 68% in the first nine months of 2014.
3. These trends indicate that more taxis are plying the roads, and more commuters are able to get a taxi. For taxi drivers, the rise in taxi utilisation rate means that there has been less empty cruising, and they are earning revenue during a larger proportion of the time spent plying the roads.
4. The proportion of taxis on a two-shift system has increased sharply from 53% to 66% in the two years since the TA standards were introduced. This is a positive development as two-shift taxis are more efficiently used, and are available for commuters to hire for a longer period of time each day.

Percentage of taxis on the roads during peak periods
5. In the first nine months of 2014, Comfort, CityCab and Premier consistently met the required standard. At least 60% of their taxi fleet were on the roads during the shoulder peak periods of 6am to 7am and 11pm to 12 midnight, and at least 80% during the core peak periods of 7am to 11am and 5pm to 11pm. SMRT and Trans-Cab consistently met the standard during the shoulder peak period and most of the core peak periods except for the 7am to 8am and 10pm to 11pm timeslots. Prime did not meet the standard for both the core peak and shoulder peak periods.
Percentage of taxis with minimum daily mileage of 250km
6. Comfort and CityCab consistently met the standard, with at least 80% of their taxi fleet achieving the minimum daily mileage of 250km from January to September this year. While the other taxi companies did not meet the second year standard, SMRT, Trans-Cab and Premier met the first year standard.
Taxi fleet growth
7. Taxi companies are required to pass the standards for both indicators in at least four months out of every half-yearly period, to be able to add to their fleet in the corresponding six-month period of the following year. Based on the TA performance of the taxi companies from January to June 2014, Comfort and CityCab would be able to grow their fleet, capped at 2% per annum, in the first half of 2015.
Financial penalties
8. Taxi companies that are unable to meet the TA standards for two consecutive months for the same indicator would be fined. The Land Transport Authority (LTA) has been using the first year standards (instead of the second year standards) for financial penalties in 2014 to allow taxi companies more time to adjust to the higher second year standards. Prime is the only company to have been fined so far.
Third Year TA Standards to Better Serve Commuters
No raising of TA standard for minimum percentage of taxis on roads indicator for shoulder peak periods
9. To further improve taxi availability, LTA will apply the third year TA standards with some refinements from 1 January 2015. During the core peak periods of 7am to 11am and 5pm to 11pm, the minimum percentage of taxis required on the roads will be increased to 85% of each taxi company's fleet. This standard was set when the TA framework was announced in 2012.
10. However, given that demand during the shoulder peak periods is lower than that of the core peak periods, LTA will not be raising the minimum percentage of taxis required on the roads during 6am to 7am and 11pm to 12 midnight timeslots. This adjustment also takes into account feedback from taxi drivers and taxi companies.
Downward adjustment of third year TA standard for minimum mileage indicator for weekends and public holidays
11. The minimum percentage of taxis plying at least 250km daily will also be increased to 85% on weekdays from the current 80%, as announced in 2012. However, this requirement will be lowered to 75% on weekends and on public holidays. This is to take into account relatively lower demand during weekends and public holidays, and after receiving feedback from taxi drivers and taxi companies.
Financial Penalties in Third Year of Taxi Availability Framework
12. While LTA implements the third year TA standards from 1 January 2015, it will only apply the second year standards, and with the lower requirement for the minimum daily mileage indicator on weekends/public holidays (as mentioned in paragraph 11 above), when determining financial penalties in 2015. This is similar to 2014, when LTA used the first year TA standards for financial penalties instead of the second year standards. This will allow taxi companies more time to adjust to the higher third year TA standards.
13. LTA urges taxi companies not to pass down any penalties incurred to their drivers if the companies fail the TA standards, but to assist their drivers achieve these standards. All the taxi companies have engaged their drivers on achieving the TA standards. In particular, companies such as SMRT and Trans-Cab have offered incentives to motivate their drivers as well as assistance to their hirers to find suitable relief drivers.
Further Measures to Improve Taxi Availability and Assist Taxi Drivers
14. To complement the TA framework, LTA is conducting a one-year Taxi Information System (TIS) trial at seven taxi stands[2]. The system aims to improve passenger waiting time and reduce instances of empty cruising by taxi drivers by alerting taxi companies and taxi drivers when the queue or waiting time is long. This information is also available for commuters in real-time.
15. Third-party taxi booking services have also provided commuters and taxi drivers with an additional means of making and accepting taxi bookings. LTA has announced a basic regulatory framework to safeguard commuter interests. Both the TIS trial and the third-party taxi booking service regulatory framework will complement the TA standards to further improve taxi availability.
16. In addition to these initiatives, LTA had relaxed the Central Business District (CBD) taxi rule in January 2013 along with the introduction of the TA framework. Taxi drivers can now pick up and drop off passengers along all roads within the CBD, except those with bus lanes during their operation hours and specific roads that are prohibited for all vehicles to stop at any time of the day, such as Finlayson Green, High Street, Orchard Link and Esplanade Drive. Feedback on this liberalisation has been positive from both taxi drivers and commuters.
17. To facilitate the matching of taxi hirers with potential relief drivers, LTA launched a taxi matching eService portal in 2013. The portal has since made 130 successful matches. Together with the National Taxi Association (NTA) and taxi companies, LTA has also been piloting a mediation scheme since June 2014 to provide a channel for taxi drivers to settle disputes amicably with their taxi companies.
