Using codeine together with ezogabine may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. Some people, especially the elderly, may also experience impairment in thinking, judgment, and motor coordination. You should avoid or limit the use of alcohol while being treated with these medications. Also avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until you know how the medications affect you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

FRONTLINE’s “Putin’s Revenge” dissects the Russian leader’s motives. Premieres tonight on PBS.
Russia’s cyber assault on the U.S. has become a politically charged topic with President Vladimir Putin practically cast by his critics in the role of Bond villain. Leave it to PBS’ Frontline to dissect the deeper motivations and roots of his animosity, lending welcome context to “Putin’s Revenge,” a documentary dish served over two parts.
Far from just resentment towards Hillary Clinton and efforts to destabilize a geopolitical foe, Putin has nursed “a lifetime of grievances” against America, the narrator intones during the latest soberly impressive production from director Michael Kirk and his team.

I never got a chance to fly with Larry Newby, RedTail Aviation Chief Pilot at Canyonlands Field (CNY) near Moab, Utah. I bumped into him several times in my twice-a-year visits and flew with one of his mentors, LaVar Wells, a few times. Over the past five years, I have become familiar with the Utah backcountry near Canyonlands, Larry's home turf. By reputation from people I know and trust, Larry was the consummate back-country pilot with skill and judgment the rest of us could look up to. I enjoyed our conversations and learned from them. He communicated a love of flying and the local geology.
On 2012 April 25, Larry and two Texas guests, a father and son pair, Wade and Kyle Richardson, were flying a Cessna 185 that crashed in the Dark Canyon area south of Moab and east of Hite at the north end of Lake Powell. Speculation they were near the Dark Canyon Plateau airstrip gave way to reports they were further south in one of the canyons. It was a gusty Wednesday in southeast Utah, not an easy day for back-country flying, but a day that seemed well within the skills of an expert pilot. While we don't know exactly what happened, I don't think Larry was trying to land anywhere. Maybe he was caught in a canyon wind shear without enough altitude or airspeed to keep away from the rocks.
If there's a lesson here, then it's not that we should be better, smarter, or more-careful pilots than Larry Newby. If there are any pilots better, smarter, or more-careful than Larry, then they still aren't better, smarter, or more-careful enough to prevent what happened. The important message is that aviation is humbling sometimes and that any of us can get caught with our pants down by wind, weather, mechanical issues, or general bad luck. We have to make judicious choices of how much scenery we want to see and how much we want to do within the envelope of risk we accept. It can happen to any of us, anytime, anywhere, and we all have to be careful and diligent. Larry died doing what he loved, sharing the breathtaking beauty of the southeast-Utah backcountry with eager guests.

World Series of Fighting on Tuesday announced that Alexandre has inked “an exclusive, multi-year agreement” to compete for the Las Vegas-based organization. Specifics of the deal were not disclosed.
A decorated muay Thai practitioner, Alexandre began his mixed martial arts career in 2011 and ran up a 5-1 record inside the Bellator cage in the span of 13 months, including a rematch win against the only man to beat him, Josh Quayhagen. The 33-year-old was absent from MMA for more than a year before returning to knock out Rey Trujillo in his most recent bout under the banner of Texas’ Legacy Fighting Championship.
Alexandre has focused mainly on kickboxing in the past two years, most recently defeating John Wayne Parr for the Lion Fight super middleweight title in October.
The date and opponent for Alexandre’s promotional debut “will be announced soon,” according to a release. WSOF has two events on its slate for the end of the year: WSOF 25 on Nov. 20 in Phoenix and WSOF 26 on Dec. 18 in Las Vegas.

Some tips for dealing with a New York condo board of managers | Nadel & Ciarlo, P.C.
On behalf of Nadel & Ciarlo, P.C. posted in Residential Real Estate on Tuesday, November 25, 2014.
Condominiums have become a popular form of residential real estate ownership for many New Yorkers. In a condominium, residents have separate ownership of their individual units, and an undivided interest, shared with other residents, in the common areas such as hallways, elevators and building lobbies.
Condominiums are governed by a board of managers. The board members are typically residents of the building and are often serving without pay. Ideally, they should try to resolve any issues amicably and maintain good relations with residents. Unfortunately, with some boards this is not always the case.
A condo board is legally obligated to follow the internal rules and procedures found in the condominium declaration, the by-laws and the house rules. Like the board of directors of a corporation, they are obligated to act with prudent judgment in making business decisions. Boards are also bound to comply with the New York Condominium Act.
If you believe your board is not acting in compliance with internal rules or the law, your first step should be to speak to a board member, explain the problem and request that it be remedied or corrected. If that does not resolve the issue, you should write a letter to the board and keep a copy for your records. Your request will carry much more weight if you have the support of other residents. Condominium boards are elected by the residents and will be more responsive to an organized group.
Litigation should be a last resort in a dispute with a condo board. Litigation can be expensive and you should keep in mind that you have to live in the same building with the people you are suing. Nonetheless, in serious cases where the board is not complying with the law or the internal rules of the building, it may be necessary to go to court.

Competition policy, as we now know it, is a relatively recent phenomenon in some Latin American countries, not so new in others, and non-existent in an ever smaller group. The issue of antiquity is illustrative of the context in which enforcement authorities and the courts interact with each other. It can affect the degree to which they are influenced by older regimes and also tell us something about the path of institutional strengthening that every authority undergoes. In other words, one would expect that long-standing competition authorities face different challenges than their younger counterparts.
Because the post was turning into a lengthy document, I will divide it in two parts. Part I deals with North and Central America and the Caribbean, and part II will present the information corresponding to South America. The latter will be published in one-week time.
The year in which I consider that a modern competition policy began in each Latin American country is presented. The starting date is counted from when a competition authority started to exist, who is in charge of enforcing an antitrust law applicable on an economy-wide basis, as opposed to sectoral regulation of competition. Exclusively criminal liability statutes are excluded since experience has shown they were seldom enforced and, therefore, cannot be counted as a policy apt to deter anticompetitive behavior. For the same reasons, in some cases I do not start counting from the year of the country’s first economy-wide competition law if they were either not enforced or done so in procedures without the expectation of a dissuasive penalty. More details will be presented as each country is analyzed.
Mexico’s first competition law entered into force in June 1993, and created the Comisión Federal de Competencia. It is hard to find the exact month when the institution started to operate. According to the first annual report, merger control activity and the prosecution of anticompetitive behavior started during the second half of 1993. Therefore, that year is set as the starting date of modern competition policy in Mexico.
Guatemala is one of two countries in Latin America that still does not have an economy-wide competition law.
El Salvador’s first competition law entered into force in January of 2006, date in which the antitrust authority, Superintendencia de Competencia, started to operate.
Honduras’s first competition law entered into force in February 2006 but it was not until December of that year that the Comisión para la Defensa y Promoción de la Competencia started to operate.
Nicaragua’s first competition law came into force in June 2007, but it was not until March 2009 that the first authorities were elected and started to hire the authority’s first team of professionals. Therefore, the latter date is set as the beginning of competition policy in Nicaragua.
According to the OECD peer review of competition policy in Costa Rica, the Comisión para Promover la Competencia started to function in 1996 (OECD (2014, p. 7)). However, the same report states that the first cases decided by the authority date back to 1995 (Id., p. 28 & 34). The authority’s website shows the same information of a cartel and an abuse of dominance case that were resolved in 1995. It appears that the OECD 1996 date may have been a mistake and that the real year in which the antitrust law began to be enforced was 1995.
Panama’s first competition law was enacted in February of 1996, but according to the OECD peer review, the antitrust authority received its first endowment in 1997 (OECD (2010a, p. 57)). Indeed, 1997 is the first year in which the Comisión de Libre Competencia y Asuntos del Consumidor reports activity.
Haiti is the other one of the two Latin American countries that does not have a competition law.
The table below presents a summary of the information.
To conclude, it is worth noting that Mexico’s policy is the oldest from the countries under analysis. In Central America one can distinguish two waves of adoption of competition policy, with Costa Rica and Panama as the pioneers. The rest of Central America caught up some 11 to 14 years later with the exception of Guatemala, who under the Association Agreement with the European Union has the obligation to pass a competition law by the end of November of 2016. The two sovereign Latin-Caribbean states lack competition policies as well, though the Dominican Republic is just a few steps away.

Imagine someone that does not like cold weather at all, but as it has to be in Europe by mid February 2015, is trying to find a not-so-cold place to visit. Well, thought about Portugal, Barcelona, but I'm now totally lying towards Tuscany and surroundings.
So, what would you recommend me to visit? What cities are worth to go during the winter? Wineries, restaurants, are they all open? What are all the best?
Though I wouldn't say the temps are the warmest in Tuscany in Feb, I can say that the Carnival party spirit is sure to warm you up.
Another thing you can do which will keep you warm while enjoying Tuscany are the many thermal spas.
My experience is everyone is open in Feb - and even better because they are expecting to cater to a local clientele!

 Though I would n't say the temps are the warmest in Tuscany in Feb , I can say that the Carnival party spirit is sure to warm you up .
 Another thing you can do which will keep you warm while enjoying Tuscany are the many thermal spas .
 My experience is everyone is open in Feb - and even better because they are expecting to cater to a local clientele !

Our existence is not in isolation with the rest of the world. While this idea sounds spiritual, it is very pertinent to social and global situations that we see every now and then. When a house is on fire in the neighborhood, if we don’t act, it is only a matter of time before the fire reaches our own doorstep.
There is an idea found in many ancient cultures that this world is one organism. The microcosm is a reflection of the macrocosm. Just like within us there are billions of cells with their independent existence that collectively make up our existence, all the billions of people and other creatures make up the Being of this world.
Today, there are many parts of the world that are on fire. Many governments and authorities, like in Syria and Egypt, end up using force in conflict-zones. While sometimes necessary in extreme situations, such an approach is reactive and often leads to complications in the long term. Taking care of hygiene and preserving health is easier than to go through treatment after the onset of disease. Just as we need to be proactive in maintaining our health, we need to be proactive in maintaining harmony in the world. A healthy multi-cultural exposure to children can go a long way in eliminating religious fanaticism. An attitude of service cultivated in young minds can be a preventive approach to tackling corruption. Therefore, proper education – one that inculcates human values and honors diversity, is necessary for sustainable peace in the world.
Only a few people in the world cause terror, not the whole population. Of the seven billion people on this planet, there are hardly a few thousand who cause crime and the whole world is affected. With the same law, won’t the reverse also work? Just a few thousand of us, being really peaceful, loving and caring for the whole planet — can we not bring a transformation? One should not think, ‘What can I do?” or that one is insignificant. Everyone has a role to play when the world is in turmoil. A tiny homeopathic pill has the power to heal an 80 kg body. In the same way, every individual has an influence on this cosmos, on this planet.
When we radiate peace and good vibrations, it definitely makes an impact. Those of us who have been fortunate to find some peace within ourselves, now have a challenge to reach out to all those who are not at peace with themselves as well as to those countries and parts of the world where there is conflict. The knowledge of the oneness that we share with the world can bring people out of their narrow mindsets. A bigger vision of life can kindle human values, enabling one to see diversity in oneness and unity in diversity.
New York: We have known it for ages. Now Americans have woken up to the benefits meditation brings in life.
Meditations have different effects and that meditation can lead to non-dual or transcendental experiences – a sense of self-awareness without content, says a fascinating study.
According to Fred Travis, director of the centre for brain, consciousness, and cognition at Maharishi University of Management in the US, physiological measures and first-person descriptions of transcendental experiences and higher states have only been investigated during practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique.
After analyzing descriptions of transcendental consciousness from 52 people practicing TM, Travis found that they experienced “a state where thinking, feeling, and individual intention were missing, but self-awareness remained”.
A systematic analysis of their experiences revealed three themes – absence of time, space and body sense.
“This research focuses on the larger purpose of meditation practices – to develop higher states of consciousness,” explained Travis.
With regular meditation, experiences of transcendental consciousness begin to co-exist with sleeping, dreaming and even while one is awake.
This state is called cosmic consciousness in the Vedic tradition, said the paper published in the journal Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
Whereas people practicing TM describe themselves in relation to concrete cognitive and behavioral processes, those experiencing cosmic consciousness describe themselves in terms of a continuum of inner self-awareness that underlies their thoughts, feelings and actions, added the paper.
“The practical benefit of higher states is that you become more anchored to your inner self, and, therefore, less likely to be overwhelmed by the vicissitudes of daily life,” said Travis.
TM is an effortless technique for automatic self-transcending, different from the other categories of meditation – focused attention or open monitoring.
It allows the mind to settle inward beyond thought to experience the source of thought – pure awareness or transcendental consciousness.
This is the most silent and peaceful level of consciousness – one’s innermost self, said the study.

There haven’t been as many stories quoting the tall, affable Yellowstone Park wolf manager in the last several years, but on Aug. 2 at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, he give a talk that was covered quite well by the Cody Enterprise.
Nice to see a balanced view that will help the wolf restoration succeed, if not to wolf advocates pleasure….
It is time for Doug to stop putting collars on the wolves in Yellowstone. He has gone from collaring the alpha pair to putting collars on half of some packs. I will be happy when he retires.
If the collars are used for positive research then great, but for someone to not like them because a collared wolf or grizzly does not make for a good photo to sell is another thing.
I wonder how Doug Smith can say wolf packs are stabilizing/stabilized. Perhaps he meant pre-wolf hunting and killing by the states? That might have been true a year or more ago or in Minnesota but can anyone call the number of wolves that have been killed a stabilization? Maybe the wolves are moving back into Yellowstone, as he points out because thats the only place they are safe, at least for now.
…or tracked and know where they are for good purposes.
Different collars, placed on wolves for a different purpose (i.e., monitoring–not research).
In my mind, several things should go into the decision of collaring. These are subjective to some degree because I don’t like Wildlife Services or the state wildlife agencies much anymore.
-Jurisdiction over the wolf, e.g. state or national park, purpose: research or monitoring, type of radio collar, the agency or personnel monitoring the wolf.
-Monitoring can be broken down into monitoring to stop potential trouble, research on movements (a subclass of research), or monitoring to kill (worst is to wipe out an entire pack by means of a judas collar).
I am not much interested in esthetics for photographers.
Given the state government attitudes of Idaho and Montana, I hope the fewer collars and the more expensive they are to put on the wolf, the better.
I wish Doug Smith would be more specific regarding which areas wolves should be hunted heavily and not hunted in. Obviously, he is trying to be diplomatic.
Doug Smith was in the picture about wolves in Washington, and he hopes they migrate all the way to Mexico, he sounded so sincere? I think he is full of himself, by reading all the comments. As for wolf watchers it started out good,but don’t blame the people for wanting to see wolves.They did not start the killing,Salazar had a great deal to do with this and Max Baucus and Tester.I raelly would like to know how much more information do we need on Bears and wolves,I for sure am not an expert,like most people on this website,but when is enough is enough?
It should be noted that today there are only 80 wolves in Yellowstone and just 2 breeding pairs.
The peak number of wolves was over 170.
And how many elk were there in the beginning (1995), and how many now?
My understanding is that there were ~19,000 elk in the northern herd, though NPS thought carrying capacity was around 5,000. The herd now has ~6,000.
Stay tuned, JB and WM. Dr. Smith echoes what others are now saying…the population of the Northern herd of elk in Yellowstone is now where it should be and should have been all along had we not eradicated wolves. The 20,000 present a few decades ago were way to high for the health of herd or range there. The northern elk herd and wolf populations seem to have reached the equilibrium we were expecting.
Too bad that cannot happen OUTSIDE Yellowstone where wolf control , poaching, and a whole slew of economic land use interests make ecological management a pipe dream , even in wilderness areas surrounding Yellowstone.
The difference between the Elk-Wolf dynamic ( and Elk-Wolf-Grizzly-Black Bear-Cougar dynamic for that matter ) inside Yellowstone Park compared to the same species outside the Park is night and day. Or more metaphorically , Heaven and Hell.
I was in the front row for this talk by Dr. Doug.
he ran long with his remarks so the Q & A was short, but I got in a good question. I asked him for his own view of the popular notion emanating mainly from the anti-Wolf camp about the sub-Species of Canis lupus reintroduced being too different than the native wolves eradicated from Yellowstone before 1930 . The old Canis lupus irremotus vs. nublilus vs. occidentalis ad absurdum that we get so much noise about from Rockhead, Toby , BlackBearBlog and the likes , without me saying as much.
Smith said the subspecies of the wolf now in GYE and the wolf that was there before eradication is moot. Totally moot and groundless to make a case with . He said it’s a a taxonomic distinction that has little to no value , more like a bookkeeping thing.
In other words, Dr. Smith agrees with Ed Bangs and Carter Niemeyer et ux that it’s Canis lupus IRREGARDLESS. We need to impress that on the anti-Wolfers if we can get it thru their thick skulls.
In that Canid taxonomy there are listed 37 distinct subspecies of Canis lupus worldwide. From the current population in GYE and Idaho all the way to the far Northern Rockies or southern Canadian Rockies provinces ( where the Yellowstone wolves were sourced) any co-mingling is negligible until you disperse as far away as the Yukon ( sub species arctos ) or east or south into the realm of the smaller Red Wolf ( rufus) and Mexican Grey Wolf ( baileyi ), maybe . An infusion of the former Southern Rockies wolf ( youngi ) or the British Columbia wolf ( columbianus) would not tilt the genetic scales. It might be better stated that the greater genetic disparity from the ” wrong” Gray wolf subspecies in Yellowstone would be the lone wolf breeding with some family’s Border Collie or Labrador Retriever somewhere south of Butte or east of Salmon.
BECAUSE— one of the sub species of wolves is Canis lupus familiaris. We call them Domestic Dogs. ALL the breeds of domestic dogs from Chihuahua to Pyrenees great Hound and everything in between are Canis lupus familiaris and breedable back to Yellowstone -Idaho wolves . Call the American Kennel Club and let’s see if we can get a new breed taxonomized into the Westchester Dog Show.
Recommended reading. 32 pgs. Smith handed out hard copies at the Cody talk .
What Smith did append to his own team’s work were several crossreferences to Arthur Middleton’s study on the ecology of Elk and relationship to predators in the region immediately east of Yellowstone’s boundary where Smith’s own work basically stops. Smith seemed really jazzed by the preliminary results of Middleton’s Absaorka Elk Ecology Study ” demonstrating the dramatic flux that climate climate and altered vegetation cycles are having on the entire predator-prey system of GYE.
There’s a lot of anti-Wolfers than need to hear THAT , too.Starting with Idaho Fish and Game and Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks and anybody and everybody in Wyoming halls.
Nice post. One correction: modern genetic and morphology suggest about 5 subspecies (not in the 30s) in all of North America. So the 600 or so miles away where they came from in Canada is not far from Yellowstone if there are only that many subspecies. That does not include the eastern/red wolf discussion in eastern North America.
„Phase One“ implies there´s a „Phase Two“ already in the pipeline. Just curious what that could be….
Nice remarks,my thoughts exactly,you stated it with grace.
Nice remarks,my thoughts exactly,you stated it with grace. I think Ralph felt the same way as you. Again very nice.
Just two breeding pairs? I got the impression that the park is capable of supporting far more than just two.
Tayo, there are around 10 packs in Yellowstone. That has been stable over the years. What seems to be happening is the wolf population is not reproducing b.c of lack of food and conflicts with other packs. That is why only 2 produced pups this year.
Not to take words from his mouth, but judging by the article Phase 2 seems to be a new more stable phase where wolf pops will likely be lower (will not get into the 175-200 range like earlier) and wolves will have larger territories and live in more stable packs. In other words, they may approach a long term average hovering around the 100 mark. Of course, a lot depends what happens with elk due to climate change, predation, etc..
Why don’t photographers like them? Shouldn they be thrilled to take a photo of a wolf WITH a collar? At least that proves that it is a wild wolf.

For 48 hours, Theresa May looked as if she was in control of her government. On Friday, July 6, Britain’s embattled leader called all her ministers to the bucolic prime ministerial bolthole at Chequers.
The so-called ‘Chequers deal’ was heralded as a major breakthrough. On the Friday evening, the BBC reported that May had emerged with her position greatly strengthened after every cabinet minister endorsed her proposals.
Afterwards, the Conservative leader sounded an unusually bullish tone, telling one British newspaper that it was up to the European Union to step up to the mark. “It’s now for Europe to be prepared to sit down and move the pace of negotiations on and talk about it seriously and address what we’ve put forward,” she said.
But by Sunday evening, such confidence had evaporated. Hardline Brexiteers had already begun to voice their disquiet with the Chequers plan. Maintaining a “common rule book” for goods with the EU, collecting tariffs on behalf of the EU, free movement for skilled workers and students from the EU, and giving “due regard” to the European Courts of Justice was too far for many Eurosceptic Conservative MPs – and for the Brexit minister David Davis.
As Sunday night moved into Monday morning, Davis announced that he was resigning from the Department for Exiting the European Union. Davis was nominally in charge of Brexit, but in practice had been usurped by Theresa May’s most trusted aide Olly Robbins. In the previous six months, Davis – who is not known for his grasp of detail – had spent less than hours in talks with European Commission chief negotiator Michel Barnier.
May had hoped to wake up on Monday to her first week in control of her cabinet since last June’s disastrous general election when the Conservatives lost their overall majority in the Commons, forcing them to rely on the support of Democratic Unionist MPs. Instead, the prime minister had lost her Brexit secretary and rumours were swirling of who would go next.
Nominally Johnson was foreign secretary – one of Britain’s ‘great offices of state’ – but, in reality, he ran a freelance operation geared around manoeuvring himself into Number 10 Downing Street. The concept of collective cabinet responsibility was an alien one as Johnson penned pieces in right-wing broadsheets attacking May’s Brexit plan. But the prime minister was unable to sack the most prominent Brexiteer in her cabinet; to do would risk mutiny from her Eurosceptic backbenchers.
But there was little strategic logic to Johnson’s decision to leave.
Pro-Brexit Tories for whom any continued relationship with the European Union is anathema lack the numbers to force May out. This point was tacitly acknowledged by another resigning cabinet minister – junior Brexit secretary Steve Baker – who noted that “arithmetic” might “constrain the Government’s freedom of action”.
Baker will return to where he has always been: the anti-EU Tory backbenches. Indeed, within minutes of his resignation, he had once again been made an administrator of the WhatsApp group controlled by the European Research Group (ERG), the rather incongruously titled cadre of hardline Brexiteers led by the priggish Jacob Rees-Mogg. The ERG supports leaving both the customs union and the single market – a pledge made by May herself in her Lancaster House speech last January – but which is opposed by most businesses and is incompatible with the commitment to no border in Ireland.
With three ministers gone, febrile talk grew of a leadership challenge. But shifting May is not easy: under the rather arcane Conservative party rules, a vote of no confidence is triggered by at least 15pc of Tory MPs requesting one by writing to the chairman of the party’s backbench 1922 committee.
Graham Brady, the 1922’s chairman, keeps names of those writing the letters confidential – and does not provide a running tally – but we do know that the 48 MPs currently needed to trigger a vote of confidence have yet to put pen to paper. If they do, there is every chance that May could survive a vote amongst her own MPs, many of whom are wary of another general election with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party narrowly ahead in the polls.
Even if May were to be defenestrated, a Conservative leadership contest could take months – and might not radically change the content of the UK’s Brexit plans. “It is easy for the Brexiteers to criticise the plan and the prime minister but they don’t have a clear rallying point to circle around,” says Simon Usherwood, senior lecturer in politics at the University of Surrey.
This lack of an alternative Brexit plan has been a constant feature of British politics since the vote to leave. Last week’s Chequers tête-à-tête was the first time the UK cabinet had sat down to discuss what Britain should look like outside the European Union.
A referendum won on soundbites – “take back control!” – and slogans daubed on the side of brightly coloured buses, bequeathed a paralysed political system. Britain had voted to leave the European Union, yes, but how should it leave? Nobody can quite agree.
For ardent Brexiteers, the path is straightforward. Out of the customs union and the single market. Rees-Mogg dismisses dire economic warnings from the dreaded ‘experts’ as just another example of Project Fear, pre-referendum prognostications of doom that never materialised. (In fact, the UK’s growth has slowed noticeably and is expected to fall further.) But true Brexit believers are still a minority. For most Conservative MPs, party unity – and their own parliamentary seats – are more important than Brexit red lines. There is even a small Tory cabal, led by former attorney general Dominic Grieve, that is actively pushing for the UK to stay in the single market by following Norway’s model by joining the European Economic Area.
The opposition benches are no less ideologically cluttered. Throughout four decades in politics, Corbyn has never been a Europhile.
Officially, his Labour party is in favour of staying in the customs union and leaving the single market. But as many as a hundred pro-EU Labour MPs oppose the party’s line on Brexit, with many wanting to see a second referendum on any deal.
May’s Chequers plan – fleshed out in a White Paper released on Thursday – represents the first time the UK government has set out what it wants from the Brexit process. But in attempting to define what was previously a constructive ambiguity, May has exposed huge fissures, both within her own party and across British politics.
On the hoary problem of the Irish border, the Chequers plan recognised the backstop for Northern Ireland agreed last December with the EU. Leo Varadkar welcomed the proposals, saying the EU “could be flexible too”, but the Democratic Unionists, upon whom May depends for her parliamentary majority, were far more muted. The DUP MP group includes some of the most fervent Brexiteers in Westminster. The public reception to the Chequers plan has been equally lukewarm. A midweek poll found only 14pc of respondents thought it was good for Britain. (More than half did not know.) The prime minister herself has made little attempt to sell the merits of the deal, leaving much of the media to her newly appointed Brexit secretary – and trenchant Eurosceptic – Dominic Raab.
Indeed, the Chequers proposals are not an easy sell. Brexiteer wails that it represents “the worst of all worlds” are not without merit.
The putative new customs partnership with the EU is fiendishly complicated and would place onerous bureaucratic demands on business – flying in the face of the long-running Tory lines about EU ‘red tape’.
Brexiteers fear that by keeping so close to the EU’s orbit, the UK will not be able to realise the vision of ‘Global Britain’ constructed during the referendum to avoid the (valid) accusations that fear of immigration was driving the leave vote. There is palpable enthusiasm among sections of the British media and political establishment for free-trade deals with the US and elsewhere as an alternative to the EU. That such deals would come at a price – most likely felt by British farmers and manufacturers – and amid a global turn towards protectionism has received less attention.
At the same time, the Chequers proposals would likely leave the UK economy in a much worse position than staying in the EU. Services – four-fifths of the UK economy – would be outside the single market, with the threat of barriers to trade. The City of London could be badly hit. Major business interests are warning of a serious disruption to both production and sales.
Whether the UK’s White Paper will survive until October’s crunch talks with the EU27 is unclear. It provides a potential basis for a negotiation with the EU but it will not be acceptable to Brussels in its current form – the whiff of freshly picked cherries is far too strong. But any further softening of Theresa May’s malleable red lines could see more ministerial departures, and more no confidence letters to the 1922 committee. The prospect of Britain leaving the EU without a deal still remains.
Brexiteers have signalled that they could stymie the progress of any deal through Parliament. That could prove a successful tactic: if Westminster does not agree on a deal before 11pm on March 29 next year, the UK will crash out of the EU.
The warnings of a “no-deal Brexit” are dire – including, this week, the possibility of stockpiles of tinned fruit and a flotilla of electric generators to power Northern Ireland. Whether this is all ‘Mad Max fantasy’ will depend on May’s ability to deliver an alternative deal that can command cross-party support – a difficult challenge in partisan British politics even in fair weather.
Leaving the European Union is often described as “leaving a club”. But the UK is discovering that it more like a computer operating system: having run on the customs union and, latterly, the single market, for 45 years, almost everything Britain does is connected to the EU in some way. Building a new operating system cannot be done overnight – and comes with huge risks about its efficacy and efficiency.

For 48 hours , Theresa May looked as if she was in control of her government . On Friday , July 6 , Britain ’s embattled leader called all her ministers to the bucolic prime ministerial bolthole at Chequers .
 The so - called ‘ Chequers deal ’ was heralded as a major breakthrough . On the Friday evening , the BBC reported that May had emerged with her position greatly strengthened after every cabinet minister endorsed her proposals .
 Afterwards , the Conservative leader sounded an unusually bullish tone , telling one British newspaper that it was up to the European Union to step up to the mark . “ It ’s now for Europe to be prepared to sit down and move the pace of negotiations on and talk about it seriously and address what we ’ve put forward , ” she said .
 But by Sunday evening , such confidence had evaporated . Hardline Brexiteers had already begun to voice their disquiet with the Chequers plan . Maintaining a “ common rule book ” for goods with the EU , collecting tariffs on behalf of the EU , free movement for skilled workers and students from the EU , and giving “ due regard ” to the European Courts of Justice was too far for many Eurosceptic Conservative MPs – and for the Brexit minister David Davis .
 As Sunday night moved into Monday morning , Davis announced that he was resigning from the Department for Exiting the European Union . Davis was nominally in charge of Brexit , but in practice had been usurped by Theresa May ’s most trusted aide Olly Robbins . In the previous six months , Davis – who is not known for his grasp of detail – had spent less than hours in talks with European Commission chief negotiator Michel Barnier .
 May had hoped to wake up on Monday to her first week in control of her cabinet since last June ’s disastrous general election when the Conservatives lost their overall majority in the Commons , forcing them to rely on the support of Democratic Unionist MPs . Instead , the prime minister had lost her Brexit secretary and rumours were swirling of who would go next .
 Nominally Johnson was foreign secretary – one of Britain ’s ‘ great offices of state ’ – but , in reality , he ran a freelance operation geared around manoeuvring himself into Number 10 Downing Street . The concept of collective cabinet responsibility was an alien one as Johnson penned pieces in right - wing broadsheets attacking May ’s Brexit plan . But the prime minister was unable to sack the most prominent Brexiteer in her cabinet ; to do would risk mutiny from her Eurosceptic backbenchers .
 But there was little strategic logic to Johnson ’s decision to leave .
 Pro - Brexit Tories for whom any continued relationship with the European Union is anathema lack the numbers to force May out . This point was tacitly acknowledged by another resigning cabinet minister – junior Brexit secretary Steve Baker – who noted that “ arithmetic ” might “ constrain the Government ’s freedom of action ” .
 Baker will return to where he has always been : the anti - EU Tory backbenches . Indeed , within minutes of his resignation , he had once again been made an administrator of the WhatsApp group controlled by the European Research Group ( ERG ) , the rather incongruously titled cadre of hardline Brexiteers led by the priggish Jacob Rees - Mogg . The ERG supports leaving both the customs union and the single market – a pledge made by May herself in her Lancaster House speech last January – but which is opposed by most businesses and is incompatible with the commitment to no border in Ireland .
 With three ministers gone , febrile talk grew of a leadership challenge . But shifting May is not easy : under the rather arcane Conservative party rules , a vote of no confidence is triggered by at least 15pc of Tory MPs requesting one by writing to the chairman of the party ’s backbench 1922 committee .
 Graham Brady , the 1922 ’s chairman , keeps names of those writing the letters confidential – and does not provide a running tally – but we do know that the 48 MPs currently needed to trigger a vote of confidence have yet to put pen to paper . If they do , there is every chance that May could survive a vote amongst her own MPs , many of whom are wary of another general election with Jeremy Corbyn ’s Labour party narrowly ahead in the polls .
 Even if May were to be defenestrated , a Conservative leadership contest could take months – and might not radically change the content of the UK ’s Brexit plans . “ It is easy for the Brexiteers to criticise the plan and the prime minister but they do n’t have a clear rallying point to circle around , ” says Simon Usherwood , senior lecturer in politics at the University of Surrey .
 This lack of an alternative Brexit plan has been a constant feature of British politics since the vote to leave . Last week ’s Chequers tête - à - tête was the first time the UK cabinet had sat down to discuss what Britain should look like outside the European Union .
 A referendum won on soundbites – “ take back control ! ” – and slogans daubed on the side of brightly coloured buses , bequeathed a paralysed political system . Britain had voted to leave the European Union , yes , but how should it leave ? Nobody can quite agree .
 For ardent Brexiteers , the path is straightforward . Out of the customs union and the single market . Rees - Mogg dismisses dire economic warnings from the dreaded ‘ experts ’ as just another example of Project Fear , pre - referendum prognostications of doom that never materialised . ( In fact , the UK ’s growth has slowed noticeably and is expected to fall further . ) But true Brexit believers are still a minority . For most Conservative MPs , party unity – and their own parliamentary seats – are more important than Brexit red lines . There is even a small Tory cabal , led by former attorney general Dominic Grieve , that is actively pushing for the UK to stay in the single market by following Norway ’s model by joining the European Economic Area .
 The opposition benches are no less ideologically cluttered . Throughout four decades in politics , Corbyn has never been a Europhile .
 Officially , his Labour party is in favour of staying in the customs union and leaving the single market . But as many as a hundred pro - EU Labour MPs oppose the party ’s line on Brexit , with many wanting to see a second referendum on any deal .
 May ’s Chequers plan – fleshed out in a White Paper released on Thursday – represents the first time the UK government has set out what it wants from the Brexit process . But in attempting to define what was previously a constructive ambiguity , May has exposed huge fissures , both within her own party and across British politics .
 On the hoary problem of the Irish border , the Chequers plan recognised the backstop for Northern Ireland agreed last December with the EU . Leo Varadkar welcomed the proposals , saying the EU “ could be flexible too ” , but the Democratic Unionists , upon whom May depends for her parliamentary majority , were far more muted . The DUP MP group includes some of the most fervent Brexiteers in Westminster . The public reception to the Chequers plan has been equally lukewarm . A midweek poll found only 14pc of respondents thought it was good for Britain . ( More than half did not know . ) The prime minister herself has made little attempt to sell the merits of the deal , leaving much of the media to her newly appointed Brexit secretary – and trenchant Eurosceptic – Dominic Raab .
 Indeed , the Chequers proposals are not an easy sell . Brexiteer wails that it represents “ the worst of all worlds ” are not without merit .
 The putative new customs partnership with the EU is fiendishly complicated and would place onerous bureaucratic demands on business – flying in the face of the long - running Tory lines about EU ‘ red tape ’ .
 Brexiteers fear that by keeping so close to the EU ’s orbit , the UK will not be able to realise the vision of ‘ Global Britain ’ constructed during the referendum to avoid the ( valid ) accusations that fear of immigration was driving the leave vote . There is palpable enthusiasm among sections of the British media and political establishment for free - trade deals with the US and elsewhere as an alternative to the EU . That such deals would come at a price – most likely felt by British farmers and manufacturers – and amid a global turn towards protectionism has received less attention .
 At the same time , the Chequers proposals would likely leave the UK economy in a much worse position than staying in the EU . Services – four - fifths of the UK economy – would be outside the single market , with the threat of barriers to trade . The City of London could be badly hit . Major business interests are warning of a serious disruption to both production and sales .
 Whether the UK ’s White Paper will survive until October ’s crunch talks with the EU27 is unclear . It provides a potential basis for a negotiation with the EU but it will not be acceptable to Brussels in its current form – the whiff of freshly picked cherries is far too strong . But any further softening of Theresa May ’s malleable red lines could see more ministerial departures , and more no confidence letters to the 1922 committee .

We have spoken with three people, who are responsible for waste management in three types of stores, from a small grocery store to one of the biggest department stores in the world. We asked them how they tackle waste management and recycling in their businesses on a day-to-day basis.
The Hemköp store in Vrigstad is the only one in the area and it has a loyal customer base. Sales amount to approximately 40 million SEK a year. As the store has grown quickly over the years, so has the volume of waste to handle.
ICA Supermarket Olskroken is located in central Gothenburg. Sixty people work in the store, which turns over around 175 million SEK a year.
Gekås in Ullared is one of Sweden’s most popular places to visit and is thought to be the world’s largest department store of its kind. A department store with 4.8 million customers and sales of 5.3 billion SEK a year certainly generates a lot of waste.
Generally speaking, many stores seem to be quite good at compacting and recycling their waste. Awareness is increasing and consumer pressure is making a green environmental profile increasingly important. There is still a lot to do and too many stores continue to rely on a mixed waste containers for all their waste. It is time for a change if these stores are to keep up with the competition and stay attractive to their customers. Contact an expert at Orwak and we will help you improve and streamline your waste management and recycling.

Totally different than the other it fits post... but it’s fun to see what fits in my little car! Today I stuffed my new 55” TV in the back of my Volt. I had to remove the knobs to hook the cargo net onto to fit it in!
And I could have moved the front seats up a little more. It was the side to side I was worried about, it literally squeezed in!

Shoji Yamamoto, Takeshi Okamoto, Norimichi Tsumura; Visual assessable inspection for short-term memory with eye tracking. Journal of Vision 2017;17(15):52. doi: 10.1167/17.15.52.
An early prediction and diagnosis for dementia is necessary to prevent the progress to serious condition in the aging stage. Focused on the forgetfulness of dementia participants, we developed a visual assessable method to evaluate the ability of short-term memory. Our proposed method employs a visual-type memory test with series position effect with eye tracking. Unlike in the case of verbal test, this visualtype test is easy for elderly people, and it is possible to examine by oneself. Moreover, the use of eye tracking for detection of series position can accomplish a tough-to-fudge procedure for the evaluation of short-term memory. As a practical procedure, the proposed method represents the colored five patches in the 10 degrees field of view. A participant memorizes the color name as a sequential order within a prescribed time limit. After 2 seconds interval with gray screen, the representation of five color patches with one changed color in these patches is executed. The participants obtain a good appraisal when they point out the changed patch based on their memory. The controller can change inquiry position flexibly since the memorized order of each color is recognized by using eye track measurement. As the result of experiment for 20's and 50's participants, a compatible response was obtained as same as the verbal test with series position effect. Moreover, an explicit difference exists that the ability of short-term memory in the 50's participant was degraded compared with the 20's participant.
