The Eurovision Song Contest 2016 was filled with various shocking moments, some intended by its organizers, some spontaneous and unexpected. The hosting country definitely had some entertaining moments up their sleeves such as various interval acts showcasing the merge of traditional music and dance combined with modern interpretation and technology, or the pre-recorded sequence giving a humorous looking into the life of the Portuguese. Here are some of the most shocking moments from this year's show.
Within the past two years, Russia has been making headlines. Last year due to the withdrawal from the contest and this year failing to qualify to the grand final. In 2017, Julia Samoylova was selected to represent Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest in Ukraine but later the national delegation withdrew from the contest. The singer was banned from entering the hosting country, Ukraine, but was allowed to perform through various digital and live broadcasted forms. The national delegation decided to withdraw and instead send begin preparing for a new entry next year. This year the Russian delegation sent last year's winner to the Eurovision with a new song "I Won't Break", but surprising to everyone failed to gain enough points. This was the first time since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, that Russia failed to qualify.
Due to the hosting country's decision to not use LED screens as part of the stage design, many countries began to creatively approach their performances. This resulted in various props being used and unseen choreography. Some countries handled it well, others received a more critical response, but one of the most memorable moments included San Marino's little robots, Moldova's Punch-and-Judy-style modular background wall, Ukraine's staircase in flames, and Slovenia's intentional technical glitch.
Blurring LGBT flags from the audience, and modifying transmissions in two performances to hide tattoos and LGBT dancers.
In 2014, officially for the first time, the Eurovision Song Contest was brought to the Chinese viewers. The same year an Austrian recording artist and drag queen Conchita Wurst won the contest, speaking out for the LGBT rights, and becoming the most Googled person of the year.
This year marked a much more controversial year due to censorship imposed by the Chinese broadcaster Mango TV. During the first semi-final the China's top TV operator, a member of the Hunan Television group, edited the transmission of the semi-final to remove gay elements. Ireland's performance was transmissions were modified in order to hide the two men dancing. A similar tactic was used during the Albanian performance, to hide body tattoos. Finally, the broadcaster also blurred out rainbow flags, symbols of LGBT pride, and other images of performers with tattoos.
After various censorship during the broadcasting of the first semi-final, the European Broadcast Union released a statement canceling the contract to screen the grand final of Eurovision Song Contest 2018. According to the EBU, the decision to censor content was taken by Mango TV and wasn't in line with values "of universality and inclusivity and our proud tradition of celebrating diversity through music."
In the middle of the UK's entry a man, dressed in a black and red bandana and slogan t-short promoting a book on Amazon, ran on stage and grabbed the microphone from SuRie's hands. The stage invader is known as Dr. ACactivism who has previously interrupted the National Television Awards, and The Voice.
SuRie was given an opportunity to repeat her performance which she later declined. The singer recovered quickly and went on performing her song "Storm" with an astonishing support from the crowd.
While not a surprise to numerous fans, the early bookies favorite had some fierce from initially unexpected entries from Cyprus and Austria. Up until the final seconds viewers were kept on their toes due to very close voting results. Finally the feminist anthem "Toy" won the overall voting and came first in public vote.
His proven talent for aligning strategy and objectives with established digital media development and multimedia design management paradigms has proven to be successful across many industries from art and music to technology. Growth-focused thought leader with expertise spanning creative design administration, social media management, branding and marketing campaigns, portfolio design, and project management.

During his work at Sacatelle LLC, he worked on design projects for clients including Kenneth Cole, Steve Madden, and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
A dedicated professional with keen admiration for aesthetics and digital solutions is looking forward to build a mutually beneficial professional relationship.

text: Pressure placed on the Guardian newspaper by UK authorities to destroy documents represents a threat to freedom of expression, the right to information and protecting the independence of the media in the UK, Amnesty International said today. The Guardian has reported that the UK authorities repeatedly threatened the newspaper’s management with legal action and led to it being forced to destroy information it had received from the US whistleblower Edward Snowden. This information is about unlawful surveillance by the US and the UK governments which violates their citizens’ and other people’s right to privacy.“Insisting that the Guardian destroy information received from a whistleblower is a sinister turn of events,” said Tawanda Hondora, Deputy Director of Law and Policy at Amnesty International. “This is an example of the government trying to undermine press freedoms. It also seriously undermines the right of the public to know what governments do with their personal and private information. If confirmed, these actions expose the UK’s hypocrisy as it pushes for freedom of expression overseas.“The UK government must explain its actions and publicly affirm its commitment to the rule of law, freedom of expression and the independence of the media. They should initiate an inquiry into who ordered this action against the Guardian.” “Using strong-arm tactics to try to silence media outlets and reports that divulge information relating to Prism and other surveillance efforts, is clearly against the public interest." The Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger on Monday published allegations about the UK authorities’ actions over the past several months to pressure the newspaper to hand over or destroy evidence related to the government surveillance.

Happy Sunday lovelies! How has your weekend been? Mine has been jam packed, but oh so fun! The hubs and the dude made a trip down to Sarasota with me yesterday to check out a lovely sustainable boutique and while mama shopped they played at the park. After they picked me up, we had a wonderful family lunch. There’s nothing better than an afternoon spent with my boys! Then, last night, we had a blast at my little sister’s engagement party!
I would love to take a sweet straw tote like this one with me! J’adore the cheery stripes and it’s under $40.00. That’s what I’m talkin’ about!

Can Technology Transform a Community? Yes!
Good things happen when a community comes together with the right opportunities.
Can a technology implementation transform an entire community? I believe it’s possible, because I am starting to see it happen. Good things happen when a community comes together to support students and students build on that positivity to explore new opportunities for their futures.
I work at Merced Union High School District in Atwater, California. It’s a small community in the San Joaquin Valley with farming at its center that has been hit hard by the economic downturn. Our area has been near the top of some negative lists: foreclosure rates, teen pregnancy rates, unemployment rates. Many kids here don’t know the possibilities available in the world beyond our backyards—but that is changing.
Many kids here don’t know the possibilities available in the world beyond our backyards—but that is changing.
About six years ago, we starting looking into providing a 1-to-1 program to our high school students. At that time, there weren’t many high schools in our area doing this, so we looked to college campuses. Colleges have robust BYOD programs, with many kinds of devices supported on a campus network. We wanted to capture that atmosphere and learning environment on our high school campuses, not just have computer labs where students were restricted to indoor facilities.
We hosted a vendor fair and had various classrooms set up with different devices and operating systems. We had 50-60 people—community members, parents, students, teachers, staff and administrators—try out the devices and come together to debrief. We took student feedback very seriously and ended up choosing Chromebooks, their preferred solution. It was an interesting experience, as it showed us that kids don’t care about brands or operating systems so much as functionality: what will get them on the Internet quickly with the tools they need to complete their work.
Of course, deploying 10,000 new devices across seven campuses—even in phases—did a number on our network. We had plenty of bandwidth but the existing firewall and web filter couldn’t handle the traffic volume. We ended up replacing our existing security solution with the FortiGate 3700D and a FortiAnalyzer VM for firewall and web content filtering, which had the throughput we needed to keep the network moving now and in the future. That combination also helps us ensure compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which are big considerations for my department.
We started seeing huge benefits both on and off campus. We saw positive behavior in the kids. They acted more like college students. It’s much more common to see students working quietly on their laptops inside the classroom and out.
The technology opened new learning opportunities that evened the playing field socially and geographically. Shy students were able to submit questions to teachers online, even during class, so they could get the information they needed without possible ridicule from fellow students. Teachers were available after school hours, even into the night, for one-on-one help through email. How helpful would it have been for you to be able to email a teacher at 8 p.m. when you ran into an issue with your homework? And get an answer so you were able to finish the assignment and turn it in, complete and on time? Invaluable.
Students can set their own learning pace to a certain extent. Students in the lower end of the class can get that one-on-one help and access to resources to allow them to catch up. Students in the top end of the class can consume all the information they want with no one holding them back. And students in the middle of a class benefit from both—some extra help and some extra resources. Technology allows teachers the ability to offer personalized instruction in a way that was never possible before.
We’ve had classes collaborate with students in other countries. We’ve launched an after-school program called ASSETS in which students can utilize school Wi-Fi. Schools have started security clubs and participated in Department of Defense hack-a-thons. As a District, we have recognized that when kids get involved and know people are interested in them and their success, they try harder.
We’ve even launched on-campus repair centers at two of the schools. Students are fixing fellow students’ Chromebooks, similar to what you find on college campuses. We used to have an outside insurance policy for the devices but now we self-insure, with each student paying $25 a year and students handling maintenance and repair. It’s great training for them and reinforces we are treating them like adults.
The community impacts have been significant as well. For some of our students, their school-issued device was the first computer their family had access to. That exposure helped show families how technology, like computers, could have a positive impact on their lives and their livelihoods. It has opened eyes and opened possibilities and students now believe they have the ability to compete in a technology-enriched global economy.
And the community has welcomed students and their devices. We recognized that, since few students had devices at home, few would have Internet access. We approached local businesses and asked if students could use their Wi-Fi to do homework off-campus. Businesses that agreed have a sticker in their window so students know they are welcome. It’s been fantastic to see everyone coming together to support our students and their new ambitions for the future.
Deploying devices across our high school campuses is truly starting to transform our community. We are showing students they have options. We are showing businesses that we have knowledge and interest in new and different types of jobs, which can help attract new employers. In fact, we are working with CDW to develop a program in which they hire some of our repair center students as junior engineers. We are building students who will be able to compete in the 21st century economy and bring positive change to their hometowns. And that’s what education should be all about.

text: In the early days of the Internet, it became customary to refer to Web sites as “pages” though they might in fact consist of many different pages. The Jane Austen Page, for instance, incorporates entire books, and is organized into a very large number of distinct Web pages. This nomenclature is illogical, but too well established to be called erroneous. However, it is not wise to write someone who has created a large and complex site and call it a “page.” Not everyone appreciates having their work diminished in this way.

Fort Lauderdale General Attractions are anchored by the Riverwalk, perky Las Olas Boulevard and many fishing activities that yachtsmen find compelling. Nearby Hollywood has the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. At the Westfield Mall hosts noted and up-and-coming designers who display their work during Caribbean Style Week in June.
DESCRIPTION: Spanning the north and south banks of Fort Lauderdale’s New River is a waterfront park in the heart of downtown; along these historic banks, Native Americans plied their trade, and early settlers brought their harvest for rail shipment north; it is the birthplace of Fort Lauderdale. Today the Riverwalk is lush tropical landscape and winding walkways that link art kiosks, entertainment events, shopping and restaurants. Some visitors even dock their yachts here for daytime activities. Pardon their dust — a portion of the Riverfront is being developed into condos, which are increasing downtown residents.
DESCRIPTION: In 1915, Broward County was officially created and named for Napoleon Bonaparte Broward, Florida’s governor from 1905 to 1909. The attractive beach was only accessible by boat, so a bridge and road were built connecting Fort Lauderdale to the beach. That first road to the oceanfront was called Las Olas, which is Spanish for “The Waves.” Today, Las Olas Boulevard is considered the premier shopping and dining district of downtown. Responding to visitor demand, it includes many events, spas, art galleries for rewarding sightseeing and shopping.
DESCRIPTION: This 500-room casino resort is a treat for singles and couples. Families also enjoy the 4-acre tropical lagoon with a theme-park water slide. Authentic Seminole Chickee poolside cabanas and a fantastic spa are great for the privacy and relaxation craved by singles and couples. Among the 22 retail shops, 17 restaurants and 11 lounges on campus, there’s a Hard Rock Café, Ben & Jerry’s and and Johnny Rockets for families; Knight Time Billiards and Park Sports Club for sports fans; Pangea and The Gryphon ultra-lounges. Lastly, the property includes Improv Comedy Club and Hard Rock Live concert venue that attract national artists.
DESCRIPTION: Opened in 1996, this 1,500-acre coastal mangrove for native wildlife includes an interpretive center, intracoastal fishing pier, observation tower, walking, canoe and bicycle trails and the exhibit hall features a 3,500-gallon aquarium, and a eco-theme video that you are sure to find educational. Entry is Free, but the fee-based tours are more interesting.
DESCRIPTION: Third largest national park encompassing 1.5 million acres of rare and beautiful ecosystems. For curious adventurers, the park contains a visitor center, nature trails, a full service marina with boat rentals and overnight camping facilities.

David was the first “Dudeoir” in my new studio this past weekend. First thing I made him do was install my window blinds and change a light bulb … Hey, I’m 5’5″-ish and he’s 6’2″ that whole foot helped a lot! haha! And he cleaned up pretty nicely if I may add. ;) Okay, fine. So he’s not showing much skin for “Dudeoir”— if any. But, this was the first outfit we shot him in … There are more photos to come aka “less clothes” photos. Yeah!! Hope y’all are ready for the “Dudeoir” version of Bunn’s Boudoir!!

Ever wonder: What if you had made a different choice how would your life be like today? Sometimes I just wonder what if I had just chosen Boudoir Photography from the very start and not Wedding Photography, then would I know then what I know now? Would I have the same struggles and victories? Too many what-ifs and not enough “Just do it.” //To inquire about my Boudoir Packages & Pricing, please complete the Contact form or call 503-308-8228 (PST).

That one time I shot a multi-day, 16-plus-hour Indian wedding and lived to tell about it. [faints] Since I started my photography business in 2007, I had always secretly wanted to have the stunning and vivid colors of a beautiful Indian wedding in my portfolio. But, it never happened even up to when I announced that I would no longer accept weddings last April. Ironically, months later a friend contacted me because her friends were frantically looking for a new wedding photographer to replace the one who had abandoned them just a month before their wedding date. Really, who does that?? So, I met with the bride and groom to see if we would be a good fit together… Within moments after leaving my studio, they told me that they wanted me as their wedding photographer. Awe!!

Today, she turns exactly one… The Lola Diaries, that is. But, Lola herself is 87 years young! And you know what, she hardly has any wrinkles!? It must be because of her complex to avoid too much time in the sun (like most older Asian generations). Currently, Lola is not very responsive; she sometimes won’t chew/swallow anything down (not even water) so Romie and I have been dealing with a lot of challenges lately. However, at the end of the day, she’s still stronger than we could have imagined she’d be over seven years ago when she suffered her second stroke … The entire right side of her face was so numb that she couldn’t communicate to us at all; she could only look at us as if she was desperately trying to tell us something. Yesterday, the doctor said that she has yet another bladder infection which is what we tend to overlook when Lola lapse into an “episode.” She’s being treated for it now and we’re starting to see her come around again … This morning she smiled for us!
On my own birthday this summer, Lola sang Happy Birthday to me so in a way this is her birthday song, too— but, you have to wake up, Lola! Let’s get crackin’ already!
A description of how this online journal began: The Lola Diaries is a documentary of 86-year-old Pacita, better known as Lola (“grandma” in Tagalog) to her grandchildren, who is cared for by her youngest child— my amazing husband Romie. Lola suffered a stroke in 2007 and now lives with dementia, and we have been caring for her ever since. This new arrangement eventually led to me quitting my corporate job and made myself available to help care for Lola, and also pursue my photography business full time. As a family portrait photographer, I’ve been capturing other people’s families on my camera for over six years, but photographing my own family was almost non-existent … So I started pointing my [phone] camera at Romie after Lola was admitted in the hospital from a head injury. I had never seen my husband so scared as long as I’ve known him. Seeing the fear in his eyes at the thought of losing his mother was the reason I felt that I needed to take more photos of the two of them together.

david was the first “dudeoir” in my new studio this past weekend. first thing i made him do was install my window blinds and change a light bulb … hey, i’m 5’5″-ish and he’s 6’2″ that whole foot helped a lot! haha! and he cleaned up pretty nicely if i may add. ;) okay, fine. so he’s not showing much skin for “dudeoir”— if any. but, this was the first outfit we shot him in … there are more photos to come aka “less clothes” photos. yeah!! hope y’all are ready for the “dudeoir” version of bunn’s boudoir!! fellas, i’m ready whenever you are. (cohiba cigars not included!) //to inquire about my boudoir packages & pricing, please complete the contact form or call 503-308-8228. follow me on instagram for daily posts (#bunnsboudoir).
ever wonder: what if you had made a different choice how would your life be like today? sometimes i just wonder what if i had just chosen boudoir photography from the very start and not wedding photography, then would i know then what i know now? would i have the same struggles and victories? too many what-ifs and not enough “just do it.” //to inquire about my boudoir packages & pricing, please complete the contact form or call 503-308-8228 (pst). follow me on instagram where i post daily.
that one time i shot a multi-day, 16-plus-hour indian wedding and lived to tell about it. [faints] since i started my photography business in 2007, i had always secretly wanted to have the stunning and vivid colors of a beautiful indian wedding in my portfolio. but, it never happened even up to when i announced that i would no longer accept weddings last april. ironically, months later a friend contacted me because her friends were frantically looking for a new wedding photographer to replace the one who had abandoned them just a month before their wedding date. really, who does that?? so, i met with the bride and groom to see if we would be a good fit together… within moments after leaving my studio, they told me that they wanted me as their wedding photographer. awe!!

today, she turns exactly one… the lola diaries, that is. but, lola herself is 87 years young! and you know what, she hardly has any wrinkles!? it must be because of her complex to avoid too much time in the sun (like most older asian generations). currently, lola is not very responsive; she sometimes won’t chew/swallow anything down (not even water) so romie and i have been dealing with a lot of challenges lately. however, at the end of the day, she’s still stronger than we could have imagined she’d be over seven years ago when she suffered her second stroke … the entire right side of her face was so numb that she couldn’t communicate to us at all; she could only look at us as if she was desperately trying to tell us something. yesterday, the doctor said that she has yet another bladder infection which is what we tend to overlook when lola lapse into an “episode.” she’s being treated for it now and we’re starting to see her come around again … this morning she smiled for us!

I was just fired, what should I do?
I feel like my workplace is unsafe, what can I do?
My employer just changed my job duties, are they allowed to do this?
What kind of compensation am I entitled to if I’m wrongfully dismissed?
1. What are my rights as an employee?
Generally, as an employee, you will be given rights and protections under various legislations such as the Employment Standards Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. However, the protections afforded to you may differ depending on your employer and job duties. It is important to contact a lawyer if you are unsure of what rights and protections you are entitled to.
2. I was just fired, what should I do?
You should contact a lawyer to see what your legal rights are. If your employer is pressuring you to sign something, it may be a good idea to seek legal advice about what you are being asked to sign. You may be entitled to more compensation than an employer is offering, and you should seek legal advice to determine whether your employer is complying with its obligations under the Employment Standards Act.
3. I was injured while I was working, can I sue my employer?
It depends. In Ontario we have Workplace Safety Insurance benefits (also referred to as Worker’s Compensation) that may provide you compensation for the workplace accident that occurred. However, there are times where these benefits, or the nature of your employment relationship, may prevent you from starting a lawsuit against your employer. It is very important to discuss workplace accidents with a lawyer to understand the intricate application of the law regarding workplace injuries.
4. I feel like my workplace is unsafe, what can I do?
Depending on who employs you and the nature of your employment relationship, the Occupational Health and Safety Act may provide you with protections against unsafe working environments. When it applies, this Act may give you such rights as the right to refuse work, or the right to require an inspection. It also may provide protections against workplace harassment. Contact a lawyer to get a full understanding of what protections you have against an unsafe work environment.
5. My employer just changed my responsibilities, are they allowed to do this?
It depends. A fundamental change in your responsibilities may be considered “constructive dismissal”. However, it is important to note that not every change in an employee’s job duties is considered a constructive dismissal. It is very important to contact a lawyer to see whether any changes to your job function or responsibilities is a fundamental change that results in a constructive dismissal.
6. What kind of compensation am I entitled to if I’m wrongfully dismissed?
If you have been wrongfully dismissed, employers may have an obligation to compensate you with notice pay and/or severance. Reasonable notice pay is geared to compensate an employee while she or he is searching for new employment. On the other hand, severance pay is an amount an employer pays an employee and acts like a “bonus” for previous years worked. To see whether you are entitled to either notice pay or severance, be sure to contact a lawyer who will advise you of your rights to compensation.

A group of 7th and 8th grade students from E. A. Hall Middle School in Watsonville were able to participate in Web of Life Field (WOLF) School’s Growing Redwood Stewards project at Camp Monte Toyon in Aptos, CA on December 20, 2016, thanks to a WOLF School scholarship and funding from a County of Santa Cruz Fish and Game Advisory Council grant.
Initially began in 2012, the goal of WOLF School’s Growing Redwood Stewards project is to inspire the next generation of redwood forest stewards by building students’ respect, appreciation, and knowledge of the redwoods through hands-on wildlife studies and science activities, including WOLF School’s Redwood Data Study (begun in 2009) and Salamander Study (collecting data and reporting since 1998). The 2016 County of Santa Cruz Fish and Game Advisory Commission grant enabled WOLF School to reach a new group of students and future redwood stewards, by directly funding a day trip for 30 underserved Monterey Bay area students to participate in WOLF School’s Growing Redwood Stewards project at Camp Monte Toyon, located in the redwood forest and adjacent to Nisene Marks State Park, in Aptos, CA.
In selecting whom to award the grant, WOLF School Director Heather Butler reached out to under-resourced local schools who are traditionally unable to fund field trips or outdoor education programs for their students. E. A. Hall Middle School, located in Watsonville, met the criteria for the grant award, and were invited to Camp Monte Toyon to participate in WOLF School’s Growing Redwood Stewards project. They enthusiastically agreed, yet quickly ran into yet another hurdle potentially keeping their students from this outdoor experience: the County of Santa Cruz Fish and Game grant covered the day program, not transportation to the program site, and transportation costs are one of the biggest hindrances to field trips for schools like E.A. Hall Middle School. Not wanting to let this opportunity slip away from the students, WOLF School awarded E. A. Hall Middle School a WOLF School scholarship covering the costs of transportation, in addition to the County of Santa Cruz Fish & Game grant award.
Students observe and record data during WOLF School's Salamander Study in the redwood forest at Camp Monte Toyon in Aptos, CA.
Though Watsonville is located just 10 miles south of Aptos, December 20th marked many of the students’ first visit to the redwoods. The group of 30 7th and 8th graders were welcomed to camp by WOLF School, where they got to explore, discover and learn about the redwoods and the importance of stewardship. From measuring and mapping California’s central coast redwoods, locating and recording salamander species data in their student field journals, learning about salamander habitats and redwood ecology, and sharing and presenting redwood and salamander data—the students actively participated in the redwood forest’s web of life, experiencing firsthand everything from the smallest baby red-bellied newt to some of the tallest and oldest Sequoia sempervirens on earth.
WOLF School strives to make its K-12th grade outdoor education programs available to students of all economic and social backgrounds, by providing scholarships to eligible schools and their students. Homebased at Little Basin Cabins & Campgrounds in the Santa Cruz Mountains’ redwood forest and operating at equally stunning campuses throughout California, WOLF School began its scholarship program—supported through donations, merchandise sales, and by grant funding—in 1998, and has since then helped to connect thousands of California’s students, teachers, and families with nature by building a bridge from urban home communities to state forests, beaches, mountains, and wildlife.

Reducing environmental impact is a global challenge. Here at Ryan’s Servicenter, we understand the importance of protecting the environment for future generations. That’s why we are proud to be a GREEN auto repair shop!
Did you know that the automobile is the number one most recycled consumer product in the world today? More than 85% of the materials in motor vehicles, by weight, is recyclable. In addition to the recycling of old parts such as tires, there is also a significant amount of recycling that goes into the repair and maintenance of your vehicle. Auto repair shops have many different options for disposing of or recycling the parts and products in your automobile. Here at Ryan’s Servicenter, we choose to be earth-friendly!
Using recycled automotive fluids for heat. In 1998, Ryan’s Servicenter invested in a Clean Burn waste oil recycling system to generate heat for our facility. Since then we have been heating our auto repair shop solely on recycled automotive fluids! According to the AAIA, “40% of water pollution in our nation’s harbors and waterways is the result of improper collection, disposal or recycling of motor oil.” We recycle all petroleum based products with this unit (oil, transmission fluids, gear oils, brake fluid, steering fluid, etc.), keeping it out of our country’s waterways!
Recycling antifreeze. Instead of disposing of old anti-freeze that we remove from your vehicle, we collect and store the anti-freeze and then send it to a recycling plant to be broken down into its original elements. From here it can be completely recycled and reused!
Properly maintaining and recycling tires. Through proper service and repair we extend tire life as much as possible to save you money and reduce waste. When tires do reach their end of life, we haul them to a recycling facility where they are ground down for use in roadways and power plants. These recycling efforts help keep tires out of landfills and stockpiles. Tires in landfills can cause toxic runoff that contaminates the soil and watershed, while tires in stockpiles can create fires, causing land and air pollution and contaminating surface and groundwater sources. Stockpiles also are a breeding ground for mosquitoes and rodents that can carry deadly diseases and pose a threat to human health.
Utilizing remanufactured parts where possible. Where applicable, remanufactured parts can contribute to the recycling process. When an automotive part breaks, many times it is only a certain component of that part that is actually the problem, much of the part is fine. Instead of throwing the whole part out, it can be remanufactured. When a part is remanufactured, the wearable, missing or non-functioning components are replaced, and the part is reassembled and tested for compliance with performance specifications. A remanufactured part normally costs 50-75% less than a comparable new one. For example about 50 percent of a starter is recovered in the remanufacturing process. This can result in annual savings in the U.S. of 8.2 million gallons of crude oil from steel manufacturing, 51,500 tons of iron ore, and 6,000 tons of copper and other materials!
Recycling cleaning solvents. Ryan’s Servicenter has invested in a state-of-the-art System-One parts cleaning system. This allows us to clean our automotive parts and recycles parts solvent on-site.
Recycling metal and batteries. Used metals from our auto repairs are hauled to a scrap yard for recycling. We also have a battery recycling program to ensure that the harmful components of batteries are disposed of properly. We accept used batteries for hazardous recycling/disposal. Over 95% of an automotive battery can be recycled.
One of the best ways to help protect the environment is by keeping your car, truck or SUV well-maintained. Having proper factory-scheduled maintenance services performed on-time improves the life of your vehicle, increases your vehicle’s resale value, and keeps your vehicle functioning properly, helping to reduce your carbon footprint! In addition, proper maintenance will keep your vehicle from leaking oil and fluids, expelling excess exhaust and more. It will also help your fuel efficiency so you can save some money at the gas pump!
We encourage you to please join us in doing your part to help the environment!

uk12points had the most liked content!
Because the referendum had a clause that said there had to be a 50% turnout for the vote to be valid! Ultimately they ignored that rule anyway!
By 9 votes, not exactly overwhelming support!!
Congratulations to @Agger and @wumo26 for an amazing victory and congratulations to @dezbee2008 and @Olympian1010 for successfully organising another incredible contest. Pretty pleased with my voting, Denmark 9 points, USA 12, Ireland 11 Big thanks to everyone who voted for the British song, so close to a medal but the Anglo-Irish TISC battle will roll on after such a close result! Finally @OlympicIRL and @dcro have done it once again, coming up with exciting and (simple!!!) team challenges and little extras that add so much to the contest and keeps us on our toes! All eyes on Italy 2019 now!
Sorry for missing my votes!! Got my time zones mixed up where I am, thought I was voting at 7pm, turns out it was 6pm! Everyone who got points from me is very welcome!
You can understand why China have picked ice sledge hockey as a sport to focus on when looking at the rapid development of Russia and South Korea over the past 8 years, both winning medals at their home games despite very little previous success at the Paralympics. I would expect China to develop some promising talents in para nordic skiing too, where certain events have a pretty poor standard and China should be able to win multiple medals in Beijing.
Definitely be good to clear this up. My preference has always been giving the winner first refusal, followed by second and third place. If all 3 decline then an open selection where individuals or groups of members are invited to nominate themselves as the next host. However, there should be some minimum eligibilty requirements, firstly the country should have competed in the contest that had just taken place, secondly the specific member bidding should have participated in at least 2 contests and thirdly member should be active across the entire forum, not simply popping up twice a year for TISC. If all these conditions are met then I'm happy with a random draw or some convoluted game of keys to decide the host, but definitely not a vote by members.
The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games organising committee have announced the final list of sports and venues for the Games. The major change compared to Gold Coast 2018 is that Beach Volleyball, Shooting and 5x5 Basketball have been dropped and replaced by Judo, Basketball 3x3 and Wheelchair Basketball These are the sports: Aquatics - Diving, Swimming (Para) Athletics (Para) Badminton Basketball 3x3 Boxing Cycling - Track (Para), Mountain Bike, Road Field Hockey Gymnastics - Artisitc, Rhythmic Judo Lawn Bowls Netball Rugby Sevens Squash Table Tennis Triathlon (Para) Weightlifting (Powerlifting) Wheelchair Basketball 3x3 Wrestling The venues for the games will be spread within Birmingham and the West Midlands region, with only 1 venue (London Olympic Velodrome) falling outside of the West Midlands. The Birmingham city centre venues include the National Exhibition Centre and attached Genting Arena, Birmingham Arena, Symphony Hall and Victoria Square. Other Birmingham venues include University of Birmingham, Alexander Stadium, Villa Park Stadium. The West Midlands venues include the planned Sandwell Aquatics Centre, Coventry Arena, Royal Leamington Spa Bowls Club, Sutton Coldfield Park, Cannock Chase. I'm impressed by this plan, mainly as only 1 venue (Sandwell Aquatics Centre) will have to be newly built and other venues will be upgraded at the University and Alexander stadium which will become a stadium worthy of being the home of British Athletics. It's a shame Shooting was unable to make the program, the National Shooting Centre is in Surrey and had been proposed but it is a few hours drive away, but since it is only an optional sport the Gommonwealth Games Federation surely saw it's exclusion coming!

Microsoft and SAP announced they will be deploying each other’s cloud solutions internally.
Microsoft will run SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud on Microsoft Azure. This will allow customers to run SAP S/4HANA in a secure, managed cloud.
SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is SAP’s managed private cloud.
SAP HANA is the company’s in-memory database.
SAP S/4HANA is a suite of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which powers all day-to-day processes of an enterprise.
For Microsoft, in addition to running SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, it is transforming its internal systems and will implement the SAP S/4HANA finance solution running on Azure. Microsoft also plans to connect SAP S/4HANA to Azure AI (artificial intelligence) and analytics services for more efficient financial reporting.
For its part, SAP will move more than a dozen business-critical systems to Azure. Also, SAP Ariba — software that handles procurement functions within an enterprise — is currently using Azure, and SAP is exploring further use within its procurement applications.
“Building on our longtime partnership, Microsoft and SAP are harnessing each other’s products to not only power our own organizations, but to empower our enterprise customers to run their most mission-critical applications and workloads with SAP S/4HANA on Azure,” said Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, in a statement.
Earlier this year SAP made its SAP Cloud Platform available on other public clouds via the Cloud Foundry open source platform-as-a-service (PaaS). Cloud Foundry allows companies to deploy applications to multiple cloud platforms, both private and public, as well as on bare-metal servers, with no changes to the application.
