What Costs Take part in Company Registration?
You are able to register your brand-new company using the business providers that deal directly using the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). These providers are on the internet and their websites utilize software that's readily attached to the ASIC.
The very best sites is one-stop centers having a comprehensive line-from services to aid start-up companies from name reservation and company registration to web development and accounting services. These business providers might also hook you up to sources from the Australian Tax Office, the Australian Business Register and IP Australia.
Before you hurry towards the first website the thing is, you may decide to understand how much it'll cost you to join up your brand-new proprietary company. Because the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) may be the primary regulatory agency for businesses, you'll have to pay some charges to ASIC, for example:
Name reservation fee
If you are not prepared to formally file the shape 201 needed for registration, it's wise to order your suggested business name to avoid it from being clicked up by another person meanwhile. The reservation fee is $40 and will work for two several weeks. Next, before the expiration from the 2 several weeks, if you want to increase the reservation period, you are able to affect ASIC to have an extension. If the extension is granted, you will have to pay a reservation fee of $40 for that longer timeframe (another two several weeks).
ASIC lodgement fee
A uniform rate of $400 is billed by ASIC during the time of filing Form 201 for that registration of the company. If you opt to register your brand-new company with the aid of a company company, this amount is generally incorporated inside your provider's registration package.
If you opt to register your brand-new company on your own, then you definitely must submit the application for registration, along with the payment from the lodgement fee of $400. You will have to ask ASIC for that receipt if it's preferred.
Company fee
While anybody can lodge a credit card applicatoin for company registration directly with ASIC, a skilled ASIC accredited business company can perform exactly the same for you personally effortlessly, inside a relatively short time. This leaves you free to focus on the process of your company. You might be billed a charge if you are using a provider's website an internet-based facilities to lodge the application for registration. As the service charges aren't uniform, you could expect to pay for between $130 to $170 for that fundamental company registration package. Always be sure that the company continues to be accredited by ASIC.
Although this is no add up to be compensated to ASIC, you will have to commit some cash to finance the first capital of the company.
A 'proprietary' company that's 'limited' is needed to issue shares to the shareholders. Information on shareholdings, for example shareholder names, with their compensated and delinquent amounts, should be specified by the shape 201 (company registration application). So if you're additionally a shareholder of the organization you want to join up, you might want to buy some shares for the reason that company.
The company registration agency that you would look forward to hire should have the best reputation in the industry. They should make your work relatively easier instead of giving tension to your business. You should be able to concentrate on your business in the best manner possible.

Nice hairdo, huh?
Apparently I was pretty good at avoiding the camera when I was a teenager, as I have very few photos from that time other than far-away shots of me on the back of a horse. (I'm sure my mom has some, but do I really want to see them?) I was about sixteen here, and this was actually a good hair day. From age 13 on -- when my hair took on a life of its own -- I had insanely-curly-hair issues. Farrah, I was not.

Steven Emerson has an idea. In an article in The New York Post, RADICALS IN OUR PRISONS HOW TO STOP THE MUSLIM EXTREMISTS RECRUITING INMATES TO TERRORISM, Emerson notes, "one component of the case should come as no surprise - three of the alleged culprits converted to radical Islam in prison."
- Jose Padilla, suspected of plotting to detonate a dirty bomb and convicted of conspiracy to murder people overseas and of providing material support to terrorists, converted and was radicalized.
- That's where a California man, Kevin James, created his own cell, called the Jam'iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh (JIS), and recruited other inmates to plot attacks against military and Jewish targets in and around Los Angeles.
- In New York, the man who was the head Muslim chaplain for state prisons considered the 9/11 hijackers to be martyrs. Warith Deen Umar spent 20 years working with New York prisons, overseeing the hiring of Muslim chaplains and leading prayer services.
According to Emerson, prisons are a vast breeding ground for terrorists and their supporters. Read the full article and you will see what he means.

I've been sooooo inspired by watching the Rio Olympics!! To see the hard work and dedication of so many talent athletes has me in awe! I am so throughly inspired and encouraged to continue to follow "my dreams and my desires" to achieve success and the 'gold medal' in my life. Watching Simone Biles, Aly Raisman, Katie Ledecky, Simone Manual and Lilly King has been awesome! Seeing all of that gets me thinking….What are your dreams and desires for your life? Are you going for your own individual life gold medal? How are you progressing to accomplish your life goals?

When I was a kid, my parents bought a small parcel of land about 3 miles outside of the town I grew up in. It was 7 acres, situated between some farmland, an old, disused gravel pit/pond (the site of much youthful trespassing, fishing, and swimming), and some rural residential areas. The back portion, away from the road, was low woodland, with a small creek flowing through it. We camped back there, fished, and dad hunted. The front half of the land was a bit higher, out of the flood area of the creek. The previous owner had done some demolition, and used it to dump construction refuse- old concrete, rebar, and lots of the red Barr bricks manufactured in my home town. So this part of the property was sort of a weedy, concrete-strewn meadow. My dad used it to dump wood chips from his tree cutting company there, but it was also chock full of wild blackberry brambles and black raspberry bushes.
Every summer, we would suit up in old jeans, tall socks, boots, long sleeves, and all the mosquito repellant we could get our hands on, and go out berry pickin'. I don't really remember how much we would pick. It was enough for a couple pies or cobblers. But from then on, I was spoiled for store-bought blackberries. To this day, I don't care for them- too big, and they only taste like water. They don't bake up right, either. My eye was also trained. Out running on the trail at college, I could pick out blackberry canes, and I made more than one berry-eating pitstop, returning to my dorm or apartment with purple fingers. They grow along the bike path near our house in Madison.
Naturally, I also noticed the sheer abundance of berry brambles on the public land we hunt. Even in Fall, I knew I was sitting behind the canes of blackberry bushes while I waited for deer, and not just because I sat on their thorns. I resolved to get berries for the first time since my early teens.
Fast forward to this past weekend. Matt's gone, and I can't back up a trailer to save my life. Fishing's out. However, factoring in the difference in agricultural zone between my home area in north-central Illinois and where I am now in southern Wisconsin, I had a feeling we were in about the right time for blackberries. My walk last Wednesday confirmed it- enough berries were ripe to justify going picking.
Saturday afternoon, I dressed in jeans, tall socks, my Chucks, a long sleeve, and a ball cap. I took two cans of bug spray with me, an old pillow case, and drove over to Sunny Slope.
It was a lovely, warm day. I found berries before I even got to the fields.
Dismayed at first to only find unripened berries, I wondered how much longer I'd have to wait. A few feet further along brought me to the glistening black beauties you see in the second photo. Pleased to have found any berries, period, I kept moving. However, the county had someone out mowing the clover. He was in the field where I scared out that turkey tom back in May. It was a great big hay mower, and I had no intention of getting in his way. I picked a different field. He would eventually catch up to me, though. He got out of the cab of the machine, and nervously asked what my plans were. He didn't want to mow me down with the clover. Agreeing with him that such an outcome would suck for me, I also agreed to stick to the one he'd finished already. I'd already finished the field he was moving to. In spite of the heat and the skeeters, I had a pretty good time. I got a decent number of berries. But my day out berry pickin' was cut short by the mower and an emergency call in from work. I cut out to head home after only two hours.
More than slightly grumpy about the whole work thing, and with only two pounds of berries, I decided to head back out on Sunday and hit the back fields. I arrived, and the gate was shut- at least there wasn't a mower or a baler out today. I began the mile hike to the back of the property. It was a pretty slow process, because the number of berry bushes along the mostly shaded back half of the tractor access surprised me. I picked probably a pound or so before I even got to the back fields.
I walked around the field counter clockwise from where I entered it. At first, I saw only red raspberry canes, which had few berries on them, if any. But as I walked up the hill a bit, there were more blackberries. More here were ripe than on the front of the property. Luckily, there was more wind Sunday as well, because I was standing in place a lot more to strip bushes, and it kept the mosquitoes at bay. The best bush I came across, though, was behind some wild beebalm. It was huge, and I would say about two pounds of berries and a lot of my scratches came from this bush.
In this part of the field, I didn't end up stripping as many of the bushes of ripe berries. There were a lot I just couldn't reach. The field margins here are a lot deeper for whatever reason, but I'm ok with leaving a couple berries for the birds and deer (or so I tell myself).
Anyhow, I moved through this field much more slowly, as it's both larger than any of the other fields, and it had an astonishing number of berry bushes. Before I knew it, I'd been out in near-90-degree weather picking for three hours. I was mighty thirsty, and the hand holding my berry sack was getting tired. I finished up this field, and did a quick buzz around the fourth field. There weren't as many bushes there, so I headed home. I picked almost five pounds of berries.
As you can see from the photos, not all of the berries were ripe. I'm thinking that I may go back out next weekend to check out whether they've ripened or been eaten by then. And I'll do it with a second set of hands, because Matt will be home. He doesn't even like fruit, but he volunteered to help.
With now seven pounds of assorted berries (blackberries, black raspberries, and red raspberries), I plan to do some research to see how much juice I can get from them. If it's a gallon, I'm going to make a trip to our local homebrew store to pick up some yeast, corks, and a few other things. We have glass carboys and other basics from previous forays into homebrewing. I want to make some wine, and possibly carbonate it, but I won't rule out home-brewed blackberry soda. If I have enough leftover, or if we get some next weekend, I'll make pie and cobbler. That's if I don't eat them all fresh before then.

External life is the shadow of the inner reality.
The outer manifestations of life are so rigid and dense that the secret of their nature and character is buried underneath. Why is the world called an illusion by the mystics? Because the nature of manifestation is such that it envelops its own secret within itself, and appears in such a rigid form that the fineness, beauty and mystery of its character are hidden. Therefore the seekers after the truth of life, the students of life, are of two opposite kinds. The one wishes to learn from outward appearance. The other wishes to find out the secret that is hidden behind it. The one who learns from the external gets the knowledge from the external, which we call science. The one who finds out from the within, from what is hidden in this manifestation, is the mystic. The knowledge he gains is mysticism. ... Every activity of the outer world is a kind of reaction; in other words a shadow of the activity which is behind it and which we do not see

Trendy Ins and Outs
That pink and black refrigerator may be in this year, but before you've had a chance to go through a jar of pickle relish, it'll be so yesterday. Trends come and go in home décor the way they do with clothing and shoe styles. The best way to ride it out is to invest in the classics, go with quality materials, and build for the future.

The Sick Man
Turkey's growing domestic instability is bad news for U.S. policy in the Middle East.
The Turkish military, unaccountable to any political authority and long accustomed to operating with impunity, has suddenly come under scrutiny with the revelation that several of its officers have plotted to overthrow the country's constitutional order. The arrests last week of forty-nine high-ranking former Turkish military officers, including former service chiefs of the navy and air force, as well as a deputy chief of staff, heralds the latest and perhaps final stage in a confrontation between Turkey's powerful military establishment and society. The roundup, carried out by the judiciary with an unclear degree of involvement by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, will humiliate the military.
Although the two service chiefs and the deputy chief of staff were released, the sight of so many high-ranking officers being hauled in front of judges is unprecedented. It is too early to tell whether these arrests will solidify the attitudes of hard-line officers who are itching to topple the government, or whether the era of coups and other forms of unconstitutional attempts at overthrowing the system is over. All signs do point to the latter; and, in any case, there is still a significant threshold to cross-the expected change in military command in August.
What is clear, however, is that unless Turkey manages to devise a new constitution to replace the one imposed by the military in 1982, it will face increasing instability and likely become prone to erratic foreign-policy behavior.
This crisis is the culmination of profound shifts in Turkish society. The emergence of a conservative and pious business elite, made possible by the economic reforms of the 1980s, lay the groundwork for Erdogan's Islam-influenced Justice and Development Party (AKP), which rose to power in 2002. For secularist elites, who are wedded to a doctrinaire vision of the Turkish state that does not acknowledge society's deep religious roots-or the existence of the Kurds, for that matter-AKP's commanding majority has been viewed with alarm, if not panic.
On one side are the AKP and its allies: some liberal intellectual elites, the conservative business elites and the religious orders. On the other are the forces of the secular state apparatus, composed primarily of the army, the bureaucracy, an important segment of the press establishment, academics, old-line political parties, and of course the judiciary.
Caught between and running scared are the old Western-oriented business elites, represented by TUSIAD, the Turkish Industrialists and Businessmen Association, and some intellectual elites who are not aligned with the AKP. These intellectuals sympathize with the party's broad goals, but not with its leadership or its Islamist origins.
The military and judiciary have taken it upon themselves to protect Turkish "democracy" by any means. Four times since 1960, the military has intervened to overthrow governments, and the judiciary routinely bans political parties and politicians of which it does not approve.
What is new, however, is the Turks' increasing resistance to military and judiciary conceptions of politics. The resistance comes from a more diverse population, a strengthening civil society and other forces, the most important of which is Taraf, a small daily newspaper. Taraf's willingness to publish damaging stories about the armed forces, something mainstream newspapers have always shied away from, has energized individuals in various state offices to leak damaging information.
This is hardly a struggle between angels and demons, but the primary culprit is the military establishment, which has missed the signs of change. Its actions have backfired and further damaged its reputation. The most egregious case of army interference in domestic politics occurred on April 27, 2007, when its chief of staff issued a clumsily written statement on the Turkish Armed Forces website warning against the selection of Abdullah Gül as president of the republic. The army's opposition derived primarily if not exclusively from the fact that Gül's wife wore a turban-an unacceptable wardrobe choice, since he would be occupying the position once held by Atatürk, the founder of the secular Turkish republic, in whose name the military acts.
This forced the AKP to call for elections, which it won with an overwhelming mandate, but after which it has not succeeded in enacting reforms. This is in part because the secular state establishment sought revenge by trying to ban the AKP altogether, an attempt that almost succeeded. The AKP has yet to grow into a classical liberal party that embraces openness, freedom of thought and the rule of law. Instead, it has replicated all the ills of Turkish parties past, including one-man domination, the use of government power to squelch the opposition, and the lack of a comprehensive vision that transcends the immediate concerns of its own pious core constituency.
As a result, a new Turkish constitution remains both a distant dream and an absolute necessity. Turkey needs to overhaul its archaic political institutions that have prevented the evolution of dynamic and responsive politics. The resulting paralysis has always been an invitation to greater military involvement.
For the United States, Turkey's traditional ally, this is a most unappealing scenario. The White House does not want to see Turkey wallow in crises, nor will it countenance a coup by any means. The former might simply be written in the stars-but Washington can be crystal clear that it will not accept the latter.

Thank you for visiting the 'Welcome to the Future' Scala Fair
08.09.2016 | Almere, The Netherlands – Thank you for visiting the 'Welcome to the Future' Scala Fair on the 4th and 5th of September. The futuristic edition was a smashing success and we couldn't have done it without you: our valued customers and suppliers. Thanks for your continued support and trust in Scala Playhouse!
The 'Welcome to the Future' Scala Fair really did transport visitors to a new dimension of fun. With a whole range of events, ranging from a fun 'Flash Wall' game where people had to touch as many Lil' Berries by TOYJOY as possible to score a reward to a unique VR-stimulator prize-competition where lucky winners got entered in the 300 euro TOYJOY lottery. We want to thank you for showing us your playful side and competing in these special events. And we can't forget to thank the amazing lingerie model, who walked around the showroom showing off designs by one of our favorite lingerie brands: Allure.
We also want to thank you for your extremely kind words about our newest collection Lil'Berries by TOYJOY and Ladou by TOYJOY. We're so glad you loved the new designs and can't wait to hear your consumers' response to these must-have designs. Another highlight was the introduction of new third-party collections such as Perfect Fit and Bobbi Eden; with the famous porn-star even paying a personal visit to the Scala Fair as well! We were thrilled that most of our valued suppliers, including CalExotics, Doc Johnson and Pipedream, made the effort to represent their brands at their beautiful showroom booths, answering all your questions and giving unique 'Scala's Academy' workshops where they shared their inside tips and tricks.
As always the Cash & Carry was a big hit with visitors. Items sold fast and visitors were excited to see so many big brand products included in this amazing promotion. We're happy the Cash & Carry was to your liking and we promise we'll make the next one just as good. And it wasn't just the Scala Fair and Cash & Carry that were a massive success. Visitors also loved the special 'Welcome to the Future' themed Scala Party which transported guests from the showroom restaurant to a unique party tent outside, all under guidance of a walking DJ and saxophonist. The futuristic lightshow and break dancers were brilliant entertainment and visitors were raving about the special location and impressive acts.
We had an amazing time and hope you enjoyed the fair as much as we did. We once again like to thank everyone for their attendance, support and continued trust in Scala Playhouse. Thank you for joining us and raising the glass to mutual successes and valued working relationships. We hope to see you again soon in the future. Merci, Thank you, Danke, Bedankt!

Once in Every WeekSubmitted by theshovel
In my youth, I remember hearing this slogan repeated regularly as it was broadcast across America telling us that this was the stuff to keep our drains clean. In response, many homeowners purchased these canisters of powdered lye and ritually poured some down their drains. Oh, it cleaned out the clogs, alright, but it did much more than that ... it has kept plumbers busy over the years replacing pipes that have been eaten through by the harsh chemical. Nowadays, drain cleaning products boldly display the statement, "WILL NOT HARM PIPES", on the front of the label because too many people are rightfully cautious about the damage that has been caused in the past.
Maybe there should be some sort of labeling on religious cleansing practices as well. Wouldn't you think twice if you were told to try something that says, "HABIT FORMING"? How about, "HAS SERIOUS SIDE-EFFECTS"? Somehow, I think that most of us would stay away from a ritual that claims, "THIS MAY KILL YOU, BUT ITS A GOOD KIND OF PAIN!". And this is exactly why a product would never tell us, "ONCE EVERY WEEK PUT US DOWN YOUR DRAIN, EVERY FEW YEARS REPLACE YOUR PIPES AGAIN"!
The need to feel clean is not something that a religion made up, it is within each of us. You and I do what seems to work for us. It may be a technique that numbs us to the pain, or it may be a ritual that gives us a sense of purification. Either way, we gravitate towrd that which offers us some kind of relief from a bad conscience.
Whether it is a child that has disobeyed his father, or a murderer on his deathbed, confession has played a major role in the process of relieving the guilty soul. And it is this pragmatic reasoning ("if it works, it's true") that has influenced and reinterpreted the concept of confession as spoken by the followers of Jesus. For whether you consider the highly ritualized confession of the Roman church or the simple rite as found in the Protestant persuasion, most find themselves focused on the act of "getting it out in the open before God". If this is truly the desired result we really don't need the "Christian" perspective ... unless, of course, we believe that real deliverance is found in all the trappings that surround the ritual!
There is in reality only one verse in the whole New Testament writings that connects confession of sin with cleansing. If verses were checkout registers, this one has a line that wraps around the store! Kinda strange for one of the foundational practices of the church, don't you think? If you read the words of this verse by themselves you will probably come to the same conclusion that most religious organizations have. I encourage you to look at this, and ask yourself some simple questions. Am I forcing this to fit my own faulty practices and beliefs of confession? Could the meaning of this verse take on a different slant if I understood the rest of what this guy was talking about? If this really means what they say it means, then why didn't any of the other guys write about it? The verse is 1 John 1:9. Look it up.
Now, I would not encourage anyone to not confess. There is a healing that can take place, but most of the time we look no farther than the simple relief ... just as when we watch the water go down the drain. We are not aware, nor are we really concerned that the pipes are being corroded at the same time.
There are products out (and have been for some time) that clean the drains in a totally different way (the company of the above slogan recently got on the bandwagon). The dissimilarity is not simply that it is gentle on pipes, for there are many that are mild. What I refer to is an enzyme-based cleaner. When this powder hits the water it becomes alive. The clog is not just removed, but the rest of the sludge that has built up gradually gets eaten up by these little living things.
I'm not trying to sell you on anything here, but to present a simple picture. Something that is dead becomes alive, and it is this life that keeps the drains clean without destroying them in the process!

Donald Trump would seem to be very vulnerable politically, to say the least. But Democrats have gotten little traction.
Part of their problem is that President Trump and the Republican Party still have the support of the white working class, the traditional base of the Democratic party.
Democrats shouldn't blame the Christian right, as they are doing. The working class is the least churched demographic in the country, with the lowest marriage rates. Evangelicals are a significant part of Trump's base, but they are mostly middle class suburbanites.
The problem seems to be that as Democrats become the party of the liberal middle and upper middle class elite, they don't understand their old constituents any more and keep condescending to them and working against their interests.
John Fund has written a perceptive article on the subject for National Review: Liberal Elite Class Warfare on Working Class Helps Trump. He cites statistics like these:
52% of Americans don't believe the Democrats stand for anything beyond opposing Trump.
Republicans lead Democrats by 35% points on who will improve the economy and create more jobs among white working class Democrats!
Many Democrats are saying that to reach these voters they need to move to the left.
OK. But by that they mean pushing for things like free college tuition. Fund notes how tone deaf this proposal is for the working class. The Democrats want to help college kids, not us! College is always described as a ticket out of the working class. So what does that say about the Democrats' views of factory workers, mechanics, builders, and other people who aren't college types? Your solution to our economic problems is for us to stop being who we are?
Blue collar workers are insulted by that. And, in fact, the Democratic party is currently more oriented to middle class college students than to men and women who work with their hands.
Read Fund's analysis and let me add a few things.
Democrats are making a big deal about how they have saved Obamacare. It's true that many working class folks need health insurance. But Obamacare just makes them mad. This is a program that forces them, by law and punishment, to buy insurance at high rates–often costing just under what they pay for rent every month–with a deductible of nearly $2,000 that, unless they have a catastrophic illness, they will probably never meet!
Working class people are not necessarily conservative, but they tend to be patriotic. They are all for the flag, the troops, and making America great again. They do not like Democrats running down their country, as the left often does. (But which old-line Democrats like Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, etc., never did.) They tend to be tolerant (to a fault) on issues sexual, but they don't like all of these identity agendas rubbed in their faces.
In the meantime, as Fund notes, working class voters credit Trump for the improving economy, a better job picture, and his "Buy American" emphasis, including his efforts to persuade companies not to move operations overseas.
And they resent the disdain that they feel from their "betters" among the cultural elite who now dominate the Democratic party.
UPDATE: I read how the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic party is going to emphasize a single-payer healthcare plan, also known as "medicare for all." It had occurred to me that the white working class might support socialized medicine. They don't like the thought of getting direct government aid in the sense of "being on welfare." But if the aid is for everybody they are often glad to have it. Do you think "medicare for all" might be a winner for the Democrats with this group?

What Happens When Strategic Planning Is Transparent?
As the benefits of organizational transparency become increasingly apparent, businesses around the world are aiming to enhance visibility in their internal processes.
However, strategic planning is still one area in which many companies may be reluctant to open up. Is there really a need to involve everyone across the organization in the strategy execution process?
The advantages of transparent strategic planning are many – here are just four.
Collaboration is enhanced
How can you hope to achieve greater collaboration if your organization is fragmented and departments are working separately?
Implementing a transparent workflow encourages your organization to work on its strategy as a whole, rather than as disjointed groups with conflicting interests.
Information is better managed
Effective strategic planning relies on making sure the relevant people have the latest information at their fingertips.
Your organization can use strategy software, for example, to ensure that key information is transferred to the right departments in order to speed your strategy along to its execution.
Risks are identified quicker
By having a holistic, organization-wide view of the strategy at all times, anyone in your company can spot red flags that need to be addressed and alert the relevant people.
The best strategy planning software solutions have a dashboard feature that brings together the key components of the strategy in one page and help you spot anything that seems to be out of line.
Trust is built
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of transparency is the trust it builds among employees.
When nothing is hidden and they are actively encouraged to participate in something as important as strategic planning, you can expect to see increased levels of trust and, in turn, morale and productivity.

Animal Feeding at Basil's Farm and Winery
(Swan Bay, on the Bellarine)
"You guys are the best group I've ever had!" The man who is leading us through the feeding of the animals declares excitedly.
I don't believe him. "Really?" I ask. Well, I guess we have been pretty good. Only one kid has breached the rope line. Multiple times. Every time he does, I whisper "Ooh, rebel." There are certainly more adults than children but with most of the kids under three, I guess it is pretty amazing that no one has run under the feet of the llama yet.
$20 at Basil's farm and winery gets your child an animal feeding session, and lunch with a drink.
Starting at 10am means that basically there is no one else around except for the people there to feed the animals. When we arrive, we are taken to a 'Safety briefing', where we learn a little about the different animals we will encounter, and the importance of the rope line.
The kids all stand on the edge of the rope and learn to cup their hands to hold the feed. The man in charge comes along the line and with his hand, imitates a chicken's beak pecking in each child's hands so they know what they are in for. It's quite aggressive (like a real chicken) and I begin laughing uncontrollably. "This is what the chickens will be like!" I explain to my daughter.
We finally move down to the animals, and parents with prams are asked to park them at least 10 metres away from the feeding. I consider what my actions would be should a llama or sheep charge at the pram. I don't really come to a sound conclusion but the prams are fine, the animals are not the charging type, and I needn't have worried.
The sheep aren't that excited about the feeding process – they seem a little weary of the whole thing – but we do get a couple down for a nibble, and the llama too. The parents and grandparents break our backs trying to keep our kids' hands cupped with feed whilst kneeling down behind them. I immediately try to take a selfie and am subtly admonished by the guy in charge. "At this stage, if parents could just make sure you are holding your kiddies' hands out in a cup for the feed…"
After the sheep and the llama, we move on to the chickens. One chicken makes a beeline for me and tries to snuggle into my chest. "What are you doing? Hey!" I thrust the feed out to the chicken's face but it's not interested and continues to try to snuggle with me. I decide it's someone I must have known in its past life. "Who… are you?" I ask. The chicken spies the silver beet my daughter is flinging around her head, and runs for it.
With the animals content and fed, it's time for the kids to receive their promised lunch. My daughter has chosen the pancakes and juice. I have a coffee and carrot cake. She pretends to ride the toy tractor in the sand pit, "I'm DRIVING! I'M DRIVING!!"
The sun is shining, the grass is green, the coffee is good, and the kids are happy.

|Denise Gerrish
|Unit 4 Onega Centre, Upper Bristol Road, Lower Weston, Bath, Bath And North East Somerset, BA1 3AG
|21/04/2018: The architect at the public consultation evening advised us that he was already aware of the need to amend the southern projection of the development in order to lessen the overshadowing of nos 6 and 7 Onega Terrace, and that the development as a whole would need to be repositioned straight along the eastern boundary. On viewing the revised plans, I note that beyond these changes already envisaged, there have been just enough amendments proposed in order to satisfy the minimum standards required by planning. The concerns expressed by Onega Terrace residents, particularly about being overlooked/overshadowed, have therefore not received the required amount of consideration.
There is a lack of clarity in the plans about the two-way traffic access to the development and how this will impact on Onega Terrace. It would appear that the few single line, after hours parking spaces we currently have access to will be sacrificed and vehicles will come close to the end of our Terrace when turning into the new development. This clarification needs to be added to the plans now available for the public to consider.

Objection on Traffic grounds
Contrary to the traffic analysis and resulting safety statements,
the number of Traffic and Pedestrian movements will increase
in Comfortable Place. A situation compounded by Delivery vehicles
entering and encountering the Large Estate Car trying to exit.
|24/09/2018: objection on transport grounds
the original Transport Statement(Dec2017) states erroneously that
No on-street parking is permitted in Comfortable Place
where a parked car would block the passage of traffic in any event
however the provision of a single yellow line permits overnight parking
between the hours of 6pm and 8am so this therefore precludes any access
by delivery vehicles during these hours thereby increasing the traffic movements
in Comfortable Place during the day contrary to TRICS survey data.

|31/01/2018: This site needs to be redeveloped BUT there is only parking for 10 residents (plus 2 disabled bays); where do the other residents park? It's true that one doesn't NEED a car to live there, but people will want one and this means more cars pushed out into the surrounding roads which are already full. Also - flat roofs? An invitation to the gulls that are already a big problem in this part of Bath to build their nests there - please re-think this!

|15/02/2018: Object: The Trust would have been pleased to have offered constructive feedback at an earlier stage than at planning. We object to this application on the basis of overdevelopment of the site, detrimental impact on the setting of non-designated heritage assets and the historic townscape, and poor quality response to site context.
This scheme fails to assimilate with or contribute to the local townscape character. Whilst some effort has been made to avoid completely overshadowing Onega Terrace by abruptly stepping down the riverside elevation and in the car park courtyard, nevertheless the scheme looks to sit hard, high, bulky and tight on the site, with no permeability or access offered to the river from the street. The excessive amount of development proposed generates a requirement for parking which in turn compromises the planning of the scheme. The irregularity of the arrangement of void to solid produces a design that is tense and unsettling.
We cannot see how the applicant has analysed or understood the site and local context in any meaningful way in order to inform the final design which we regard as unworthy of a key riverside site in the World Heritage Site. In particular there is a lack of finesse and detail to the development which, as the B&NES' own Urban Designer & Landscape Officer both point out, sits within a domestic scale fine-grained townscape. As such this site should be developed in a more fragmented, permeable way with varied forms and roofscapes in order to lessen its impact both locally and in longer views and to sit more comfortably on this small site. In particular the historic local context (formal frontages to street and distinct, detached warehouse buildings to riverside) should inform how the scheme is designed. The flat stepped-back roofs present a blank and barren 5th elevation sitting on the valley floor; whilst precedent for this roof form has been set at BWR that has illustrated how uninteresting and over-dominant flat stepped-back roofs are in the townscape. We strongly recommend that the applicant is required to articulate and vary the roofscape. The elevation of the block along the towpath should follow the line of the towpath (in plan) to conform to historic relationships between the towpath and built forms behind, and the change in heights needs to be managed with more subtlety.
Whilst the applicant argues that the addition of a bland classically inspired terrace to the Upper Bristol Road elevation assists in repairing the streetscape, in that it will extend the classical terraced language of the street, the facts are against this. The proposed street elevation lacks authenticity and in any case, as the maps in the Heritage Report show, Georgian terraces were not built on this section of road. The history of this site is largely bound up in the piecemeal 19th century riverside development of Bath; so there is no authenticity in this response to the streetscape.
Whilst the adjacent permitted development has not yet been built out, it is regrettable that this scheme has failed to reference or identify with the forms and design of that scheme, to ensure a cohesive and visually harmonious entity over the two sites. Instead, the buildings will sit hard up and discordantly against each other.
We note no Landscape Visual Impact Assessment has been included with the submission. Given the sensitive location of this site on the valley floor and on the river frontage, we would expect some analysis of impact in long views into the site from vantage points around the city.
If, following any revisions to the scheme, the officer is minded to permit, we recommend that a condition is placed on the development that prohibits the use of these units as short term holiday lets; to ensure that they contribute to meeting Bath's housing need and are not bought solely as investment properties.
The proposed scheme by virtue of its design, massing, form and scale would be harmful to the setting of designated heritage assets, would neither preserve nor enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the street scene and the riverside and would detract from the special qualities of the WHS. The scheme would be contrary to Section 12 (Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment) of the NPPF, policies B1, B4, and CP6 of the B&NES Core Strategy and policies CP6, D.1, D.2, D.5, HE1, BD1, B4 of the Placemaking Plan. We would therefore strongly recommend the application be withdrawn or refused.
|Bath Preservation Trust
|1 Royal Crescent, City Centre, Bath, Bath And North East Somerset, BA1 2LR
|01/05/2018: Object: We have reviewed the revisions to this scheme and acknowledge that some work has been done to address widespread concerns regarding elements of the scheme. In particular slightly moving the built form and parking away from Onega Terrace (and additional tree planting) goes some way to relieve the overbearing character of this scheme on the local townscape, but we feel there is still harm from the heavy monolithic footprint of the building. The submission of LVIA's with photomontages is welcome and we note there are some design changes including the rationalisation of fenestration on the south elevation and the revised roof storey on the west elevation.
In our view however we do not feel these changes go far enough to allow this development to assimilate comfortably within the distinctive grain of the local townscape or the conservation area and WHS (for detail on this refer to our previous submission). It is of a scale and massing that is still dominant and jarring with local character. The combined use of a mansard roof turning into a step back roof form is clumsy. The large expanse of grey flat roof will be harmful in long views (see Southgate from Alexandra Park) and the material of the sloping roof element of the west elevation should be rethought as the expanse of grey is again blank and intrusive in views. There is a predominance of grey cladding in the eastern balconied portion of the south elevation, this should be replaced with a different material such as Bath stone or even a high quality timber cladding to reference the approved application adjacent and to make a visual transition to this scheme. The ground floor elevations are still inadequate in that they do not interface well with the towpath public realm; there could be more designed architectural interest and landscaping at this level.
A key tenet of urban planning under the Town and Country Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation areas) Act 1990 is the requirement to preserve or enhance local character and distinctiveness; this scheme continues to do neither. We cannot see that there is a case for sufficient public benefit to justify this scheme triumphing over considerate, contextually relevant place making.
We repeat our request that if the officer is minded to permit, we recommend that a condition is placed on the development that prohibits the use of these units as short term holiday lets; to ensure that they contribute to meeting Bath's housing need and are not bought solely as investment properties.
The proposed scheme by virtue of its design, massing, form and scale would be harmful to the setting of designated heritage assets, would neither preserve nor enhance the character and appearance of the conservation area, would be detrimental to the visual amenity of the street scene and the riverside and would detract from the special qualities of the WHS. The scheme would be contrary to Section 12 (Conserving and Enhancing the Historic Environment) of the NPPF, policies B1, B4, and CP6 of the B&NES Core Strategy and policies CP6, D.1, D.2, D.5, HE1, BD1, B4 of the Placemaking Plan. We would therefore strongly recommend the application be refused.
