 and shelter. As Mayor Murray suggests, increasing the amount of shelter beds is one way to expand the footprint of those the Mission serves.
The Mission currently provides 567 shelter beds each night and within two months it will be adding an additional 100 emergency shelter beds to meet the needs anticipated through winter.
However, the Mission’s research and experience shows that many people experiencing homelessness will not take advantage of shelter beds, which is why it is crucial to take proactive and preventative measures as a community beyond providing emergency shelter.
Every night the Mission deploys two Search and Rescue vans with volunteers meeting people on the streets, in tents and campers to offer them food, shelter and other assistance. Through the winter months, the program will add an additional van, increasing its nightly reach by 50 percent.
The Mission will be adding two outreach coordinators, one assigned to north King County and one to south King County, who will provide case management to individuals living in their vehicles and help them move into better, more efficient housing. Recently one additional staff position was added for mental health outreach in the downtown Seattle area.
Over 6,500 community volunteers have been mobilized in 2015 extending the Mission’s impact into King County including the development of partnerships with more than 175 churches and other community organizations. For instance, this morning the Mission finalized a partnership with Bellevue Presbyterian to create a long-term housing option for homeless teenagers.CAMP BANCASI, Butuan City – A New People’s Army (NPA) ama­zon voluntarily surrendered to the Army’s 36th Infantry Battallion (36th IB) in Barangay Dayo-an, Tago, Surigao del Sur, recently.

What type of oil should I be using on my wood worktop? It needs treating but im not sure how and what oil I should be using. I've been reccomended Danish oil but im not sure how to apply it or if it’s the best option.
"If you go to You tube there will be a step by step guide on there for you to follow."
"Hi Bill. There are many oils available for solid wood worktops. Danish oil is a good option as is Tung oil. They can both be applied with a good quality brush or lint-free cloth. All oils will have fairly comprehensive instructions on the tin. It's important to make sure that your wood worktop is cleaned of all old treatments to ensure an even finish. Lots of sanding. Try a really fine grade wire wool on your final coat for a really smooth finish. Good luck"
"Hi Bill, depending on the condition of your wood worktop. Use a wire wool brush with Danish oil, and then wipe away excess, leave for 6 hrs then wipe 2 more coats of Danish oil."
"Hi Bill, depending on the condition of your wood worktop. Use a soft brush and leave for around 5 hrs then do 1 more coats of Danish oil." Hopefully this would work better. Thanks"
"Hi yes you have been told correct, Danish oil is a food grade oil for wood, more so chopping boards and worktops, you can use a cloth or a sponge or even a brush lol, just rub it all over and let it dry job done, stay safe all the best, Gavin gpg home improvements"
"Fiddes hard wax oil is by far the best and easiest to use for wood worktops."
"Danish oil is normal for wood worktops. Apply with a cloth even coat then when dry, use wet and dry sandpaper rough off, only light sand, then apply a second coat of Danish oil."
"I get my worktop oil from worktop express you would need to sand your worktops down first then apply to two coats allowing for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat."
"To maintain wood worktops, use Danish oil, apply using a lint-free cloth all over. You’ll need 2-3 coats first time round on a new worktop; it gets absorbed into the worktop, so do one coat and wait. You may need to lightly sand the surface afterwards with 600+ grade paper, as oil lifts the grain slightly.
Most wood worktop manufacturers recommend you repeat the process every 3 months for the first year, then annually. If in doubt check the instructions on the back of Danish oil can, and you should have been left some when the wood worktop was installed."
Robotaxis meet 100 years of service excellence – an exploration of the future of automotive fleet maintenance.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) - Self-driving startup Pony.ai announced an agreement with Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, today to explore the future of automotive maintenance and repair for autonomous fleets.
One of many opportunities in the autonomous driving space is the continuous operation of a fleet, and the reduction of downtime. Pony.ai and Bosch’s Automotive Aftermarket division in North America plan to develop and pilot innovative fleet maintenance solutions to enable the efficient and scalable operation of future commercial autonomous fleets. Bosch has a long-standing reputation in vehicle maintenance and operates the Bosch Car Service network which will turn one hundred years in 2021. The Bosch Car Service network is the oldest and largest automotive repair and maintenance network with over 20,000 locations across the world.
With over one thousand locations in North America, the Bosch Car Service network provides a unique footprint for national and local fleet operators. Famous for its quality and sophistication, the network of independent operators acts on the highest industry standards and is well known for having members that lead and set industry maintenance benchmarks on luxury, high performance and new technology vehicles across the whole U.S.
An industry dominated by a fragmented software landscape and high labor shortage, the automotive maintenance market has a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.36 percent outgrowing the overall aftermarket industry CAGR of 4 percent.
“At Bosch, we continuously innovate by creating alliances and working with startups to develop the best value proposition tailored to both customer groups, the end consumers with its individual car maintenance needs, as well as corporate fleet customers. These fleet business customers seek networks that have a software infrastructure that can scale and adapt to their individual needs, with APIs that enable seamless exchange of information. With the investment into Shop-Ware Inc. in 2018 we have set the foundation to work with innovators and disruptors such as Pony.ai, and have continuously equipped our members with new technology, such as connected diagnostic equipment,” says Persico.
The pilot of the robotaxi fleet maintenance started at an undisclosed Bosch Car Service location in the San Francisco Bay area in early July 2020.
Pony.ai is technology startup building autonomous driving technology. Founded in Silicon Valley in late 2016, Pony.ai has been a pioneer in autonomous mobility technologies and services across the US and China, spearheading public facing Robotaxi pilots in both markets. Pony.ai is committed to creating a safe and sustainable mobility future by delivering autonomous mobility everywhere. Toyota Motor Corp. recently invested $400 million in Pony.ai. The investment extends the companies’ partnership formed last year and pushes Pony.ai’s valuation to more than $3 billion, the startup said in a statement. The pact enables a “deeper integration” of Pony.ai’s technology with Toyota’s vehicles.
Having established a regional presence in 1906 in North America, the Bosch Group employs 34,600 associates in more than 100 locations, as of December 31, 2019.

But, why is that? Why do people want to be so close to water that they will spend a fortune to live in a house by the sea?
Water has a hold on us for a variety of reasons. It is calming and nurturing and it contributes to our mental well being in ways not many other elements in our life can.
In this article, I will go over the reasons that water is so calming for us and how you can take advantage of that.
Running water is essentially white noise. It cancels out the sounds in the background that otherwise would distract us and even cause stress.
The wonderful thing about white noise is that it sounds different to everybody. And the sound of running water
