Avalanche options in wake of Mueller injury: is there hope in Jersey?
No new updates so far on Peter Mueller's latest concussion, and things are probably going to stay vague for quite a while. You just never know with concussions, and there are established protocols now when a repeat victim has one. Basically, a lot of time has to go by and a lot of tests passed before doctors will even think of clearing a player with a history of them.
A lot of people have asked whether, because of his injury, his salary comes off the books as far as the cap goes. The answer is, not now, but maybe soon. If Mueller is determined to be likely out for an extended period – almost a certainty I'd say – the Avs would get "long term injury" cap relief. Basically, Mueller's salary cap number ($2 million) would come off the books once that has been determined, and the Avs could fill it with another player of equal or more worth, provided they don't go over the cap overall. With currently the lowest payroll in the league – and still not even to the cap floor even with Mueller's salary – there is no danger of that. Basically, the Avs need to sign a couple of forwards (don't forget about David Koci's broken jaw injury, which will keep him out several weeks and take his $575K salary off too most likely).
The Avs could choose just to sign rookie prospects of their own to both fill out the roster and get over the cap floor, but if Mueller's $2 million does come off the books soon, it's unlikely the team would reward some unproven rookie with an inflated contract just to get to the floor.
That makes it likely, in my opinion, the Avs will look to either the free-agent or trade market for some veteran forward help. As might be expected, the free agent market doesn't look too promising. The racks have been picked mostly clean by other teams all summer of what was basically a meager offering to begin with, and what's left is a collection of flotsam and jetsam in the dollar bin.
Anybody want Bill Guerin? He's still out there (although on a tryout contract with the Flyers), and scored 24 goals for the Penguins last season. But you or I could probably get 15 goals or so playing on a line and the power play with Sidney Crosby. He also, by all accounts, ran out of gas by the second half of the year and he's turning 40 soon. Still, of the free agents available, he's the guy I might resort to if I'm Greg Sherman. At least he might be able to give some short-term scoring help while, hopefully, Mueller recovers in time to come back for the second half.
Darcy Tucker is still out there. Sorry.
Another thing: It's likely that the Avs aren't going to look for a top-six forward type anyway, because my stong hunch is that David Jones will take Mueller's spot on the second line now, and maybe a Ryan Stoa or Luke (Sky) Walker takes Jones' place on the third line. Or, maybe Stoa gets the shot on the second line and the third stays the same. Regardless, whoever comes in here probably is looking at a third-line job, at best.
But if the Avs are looking for perhaps a little something more, the trade market could be the best bet. And what better team to start looking at than the New Jersey Devils – home of $100 million man Ilya Kovalchuk and a passel of aging, highly-paid forwards.
The Devils must shed between $3-6 million in payroll by opening night to get under the cap, according to this story by longtime Newark Star-Ledger Devs beat man Rich Chere.
The Devils have three forwards who are definitely available and whom the team would probably dearly love to move. They are former Av Brian Rolston, Jamie Langenbrunner and Dainius Zubrus. While I loved Rolston as a player in Boston and Minnesota, he is coming off a terrible first year in Jersey after signing a huge contract (he's got two years left on a deal with a $5.062 million cap hit). He's also 35. His age and contract make it highly, highly improbable the Avs would even think of trying to get him back. But he is a left winger who is capable of good hockey I believe, and the Avs have tons of cap room.
Still, assuming Rolston is a no-go, Langenbrunner and Zubrus are possibilities. Neither really fits in with the "Young Guns, rebuild with youth (and do it on the cheap)" new philosophy of Avs management. But the Avs can't live in this dream world of doing it with kids all the time, when injuries strike. Sometimes you need some quick veteran help, and these two could give some.
It was considered a bit of an off year for Langenbrunner last year, but the guy still put up 61 points in 81 games. Zubrus plays center mostly, which cuts down on the Avs wanting him, but he's still a consistent double-figure goal scorer.
Langenbrunner has one year and $2.8 million on his contract, and Zubrus has three full years left and a $3.2 million cap hit. While it's very unlikely the Avs would call about Zubrus, I don't see why they might not make a call on Langenbrunner. He's been a proven winner his whole career, the Devs MUST shed some payroll, he seems like he's been on the outs there for a while and maybe a change of scenery would boost his career.
So, I guess he's my guy if I'm looking around right now. Yeah, there are a lot of other guys around the league whom teams might want to move, but most of them are making too much money for the Avs to consider. But Langenbrunner has a reasonable salary, seemingly some good hockey left in him and plays on a team that probably wants to move him.
Get on the phone Greg Sherman.

Huddersfield Business School PRME SIP Report 2019 - View Report
Period Covered: Jul 2017 to Jul 2019
Our PRME SIP report outlines the School's commitment to sustainability and responsible management education. In particular, the report features in detail, how we develop our curriculum and research in accordance with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Achievements Curriculum Integration in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
The Business School has a strong professional orientation, with programmes accredited with professional bodies and good professional links (e.g. the Partners in Accountancy scheme includes firms such as PwC and KPMG). We interpret professionalism not only in terms of technical competence but also in terms of ethical responsibility. Thus many modules consider ethical issues, e.g. Audit Framework, . However, we also have modules dedicated to responsibility and sustainability, e.g. at undergraduate level we have Environmental Policy, Environmental Management and Ethics in Business. At postgraduate level we have both specialist modules (e.g. Corporate Social Responsibility; Corporate Governance and Business Ethics) and a specialist MSc in Risk, Disaster and Environmental Management.
As Dean, I am keen to encourage such activity, for it is consistent with my own career priorities. For example: I am a former chair of the UK chapter of the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN); I chaired the EBEN annual conference in 2000, in association with the Judge Business School, Cambridge; I co-organised the first UK conference on teaching business ethics; I introduced a business ethics undergraduate module when such things were rare in the UK; I have edited the international journal Business Ethics: A European Review for several years; I was a member of the Ethics Advisory Committee of one of the first UK SRI mutual funds; and I am a member of the Ethics Standards Committee of the Institute in England and Wales. Much of my research and writing has been on business and financial ethics.
Achievements Research Development in the Field of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
In addition to staff research, the Business School has, or has had, several research students undertaking PhDs in the area of responsibility and sustainability, particularly in corporate environmental management and financial ethics. The latter are associated with the Financial and Ethics Research Group (FEGReG), which was at the core of the University's submission to the UK's Research Assessment Exercise 2008 under Unit of Assessment 35: Accounting & Finance. To give an example of a recent project, FEGReG has recently conducted research on the responsibilities of non-executive directors of mutual building societies (savings and loans institutions and will be holding a seminar for practitioners in March 2011. Further details regarding FEGReG can be found at http://www2.hud.ac.uk/uhbs/research/fegreg/index.php.

Corporate bond trading is proving to be a horror show for Wall Street banks.
Investors started the year worried about a potential rise in defaults by corporate borrowers.
Credit spreads spiked. Higher spreads mean bonds prices are falling, making for difficult trading conditions and potential mark-to-market losses on bank-trading books.
It's enough of a problem that it should turn up in quarterly earnings reports next month.
"Credit is not a good place for anyone," one chief executive at a bank acknowledged, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
The pain has largely been driven by a cycle of recession fears, volatility, and reduced liquidity.
"I think it's really a matter of what has happened to credit spreads, although some of the damage has reversed in the past two to three weeks, and also the degree to which liquidity in credit has been compromised by the regulatory backdrop which discourages banks from carrying inventory," Guy Moszkowski, managing partner at Autonomous Research US, told Business Insider.
A slumping oil price early in the year stoked fears of a recession, with the high-yield market pricing in an economic slowdown. Falls in bond prices were particularly dramatic at times, as reduced liquidity in the market exacerbated the sell-off.
That makes positioning especially difficult. Rumors have circulated over the past month about large banks getting caught on the wrong side of a big move in the credit market.
"The market isn't doing what anyone expects," Kevin McPartland, principal in market structure and technology at Greenwich Associates, told Business Insider. "The Fed raised rates and the 10-year Treasury rate declined, and oil prices remain consistently inconsistent, leaving many out on a ledge."
Things appear to have stabilized. Goldman Sachs analysts led by Alex Blostein said in a note Monday that high-yield funds recorded inflows last week, with record inflows of $2.4 billion to high-yield exchange-traded funds and $2.6 billion of inflows in to high-yield mutual funds, the best since 2011.
Still, the brutal trading conditions through the first two months of the year are likely to show up in first-quarter earnings. That continues a theme, with credit revenues tanking in 2015, hurting bank profits.
Credit revenues fell from $18.2 billion in 2014 to $12.4 billion in 2015, according to the data-analytics company Coalition, a 32% fall.
The macro businesses — rates and foreign exchange — saw increased revenues, in contrast. That could happen again.
"It is the same theme as it has been for a while," another investment-bank chief executive told Business Insider. "The macro businesses are doing better. They are still down, but not down too much. Credit is tougher."
Wall Street banks have responded to the challenging revenue environment by embarking on a round of job cuts in recent weeks. Bank of America is cutting jobs this week, while Deutsche Bank recently eliminated 75 jobs in fixed income. Morgan Stanley and Barclays have also recently cut staff.

- Agriculture is more than just another industry. As well as supplying the food we eat, farmers have to be responsible for the protection and the enhancement of the countryside; but farming is in crisis throughout Europe, and especially in Britain. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) dominates British agriculture. It has more than achieved its original goal of eliminating food shortages. It has caused wasteful over-production, high food prices here and low-price dumping abroad. Millions of people in poorer countries are forced to export animal feed, rather than feed themselves. At the same time, the CAP has specifically supported grain production at the expense of livestock. Oil- and pesticide-fed monoculture has replaced thriving and diverse rural economies and put small, mixed farms out of business. As the environmental consequences – widespread habitat loss, soil erosion and nitrate pollution – have spread, so agriculture has sunk ever lower in the public's esteem. Recession and the BSE crisis, brought on by government incompetence, have added to the problems – driving many farmers into bankruptcy and despair. A system of support designed to assist farmers, arguably at the expense of environmental and consumer interests, has now failed even the farmers themselves.
- Public confidence in food safety is at an all-time low. The market is dominated by a few large manufacturers. Suppliers' and consumers' interests are represented by the same ministry. This has delivered repeated public health scandals – notably BSE and salmonella. Added to this, the US bio-tech giants force unwanted products such as hormone-treated beef and GM food onto European markets, often with British government support, and farm animals are treated with appalling cruelty. Wessex Regionalists demand for us all the right to eat wholesome food, produced without needless exploitation of farm animals or the soil. We recognise that this will not be easy in a global market place, where all prices ultimately rest on the price at which the poorest can be fed.
- Farm and food policy needs a wider brief. We must produce trustworthy food whilst promoting regional self-reliance, care for the landscape, bio-diversity and good animal and soil husbandry. Fundamental reform of the CAP is a prerequisite. Recognising the barriers to this, we argue for unilateral action where justified. The CAP will be phased out and control passed to the regional level. (Devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales already have significant control over agricultural policy in their respective countries, within CAP constraints.)
- A reformed agricultural policy will naturally favour mixed, sustainable and job-rich forms of agriculture. Subsidies should guarantee farmers' incomes, not prices. They should only be paid up to a ceiling level and only if strong environmental and animal welfare criteria are met. Enhanced support must be given to farmers in less favoured areas and to those wishing to diversify, de-intensify or switch to organic methods. A structures policy to prevent the random break-up and amalgamation of farms is necessary, defending and encouraging small and medium sized holdings as viable family farm units. Measures are also necessary to encourage the entry of young people into farming, with a special support package for entrants that includes low interest loans and start-up grants.
- As with agriculture, fishing is in crisis. Populations of commercial fish species are being driven to collapse by over-fishing. Fishing communities and the eco-systems they exploit are under threat. Policies such as the Common Fisheries Policy, the decommissioning schemes and other moves such as the limitations on fishing days at sea have not worked, and Wessex is suffering. The EU's 'total allowable catch' must be reduced by around 40% if fish stocks are to recover. Yet technological 'advances' in fish detection have increased the British fleet's capacity by 3% a year over the last thirty years.
- There is only one realistic way forward: fundamental reform of the EU Common Fisheries Policy. A new policy must be hammered out by delegates sent by fishermen from each European region, such as Wessex. A Europe of the Regions demands a Regional Fishing Policy. Such a policy must give each region control of its own fishery, subject to international agreements to protect transnational marine eco-systems and migratory fish stocks. Fishing activity should be controlled according to its impact on the marine environment, not just the target species. Protection for breeding grounds must be adequate and based on sound and politically neutral scientific advice. Net mesh sizes should be enlarged to protect young fish, and spawning grounds closed to fishing during the breeding season. Increased support should be provided to help fishing communities adjust.
- Trade in food should be removed from the scope of WTO rules, freeing individual states to set their own health and environmental standards and achieve self-sufficiency by reducing unnecessary imports. Imports should be controlled by taxing their transport, not by tariffs at borders, which artificially distort production and market areas. The market will be localised through support for farmers' markets, subscription farming and regional marketing initiatives.
- The scientific case against genetically-modified organisms is not proven. Nor is the scientific case in their favour clearly established to be free of commercial bias, notwithstanding the argument that there is no other way to feed the world's burgeoning billions. Pending a resolution of this controversy, Wessex Regionalists believe that consumers must be free to make their own decisions. Food must be clearly and accurately labelled. 'GM-free' must mean what it says, even the smallest percentage invalidating the right to make that claim. Bio-tech companies must become strictly liable for any harm their products cause.
A regionalist government in Wessex will:
- campaign for reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, Common Fisheries Policy and related legislation to give greater emphasis to protection of consumers and the environment.
Meanwhile, the Wessex Regionalists will:
- support measures to increase more localised production and distribution of food.

You just never know what you'll find in Bryant Park. Not only do we host the Bryant Park Juggling Club, who offer lessons to beginners and pros alike year-round, but sometimes we get special guests. Last Monday during our regular lunchtime juggling hour, one of the best jugglers in the world joined our group.
Alex Barron holds the world record for most items juggled at once. Since most people struggle to successfully toss around 3 beanbags, we'll give you an idea of what the world record means. In 2011, Alex Barron juggled 13 beanbags for 13 catches. In 2012, he managed to juggle 11 beanbags for a whopping 25 catches!
He happened to be in the park last week, so he stopped by to juggle with our crew, and as most do in the park, paid it forward and taught a few novices some moves. Here's a video of Alex juggling 11 balls.
Think you can master juggling? Dying to learn? Stop by and get a lesson in the park. As Juggler Alex always says, anyone can learn!

Jace Downey didn't comprehend she was suffering from s*x addiction for many years, until it led her towards considering suicide.
"Addiction is a genetic brain disease," she says in an interview with Barcroft TV.
"It's hereditary, passed down through generations. I was born an addict, every addict is born an addict, it's just whether or not that is going to be triggered into active acting out.
"s*x addiciton is really confusing. It has nothing to do with s*x."
Downey, from Austin, Texas, says it began with 'fantasy' and 'masturbation' when she was five, which included visualization her favourite cartoon characters having s*x.
Pornography also played a huge part in her addiction and later, 'infidelity'.
She continues: "I didn't understand boundaries, I had no intimate or emotional connection with s*x at all. Later in my addiction it had to be more dangerous, more risky, more painful. For me, s*x almost never felt good. I was using my behaviour to not even feel better but to be numb from the pain I was feeling."
She says she later began to have flashbacks which were 'vague' at first, recollecting that her dad had gone through abuse as a child.
As her parents had been divorced throughout her life, Jace says she started going to her father's house from around the age of four where he 'would have me watch pornography with him'.
This then progressed into the two of them 'acting out the scenes'.
"I can remember just staring at the door hoping the light would turn on, that one of my sisters would come. But they never did," she says.
Jace said her father's abuse stopped suddenly, with no explanation, causing her confusion.
"All of a sudden, I was not worthy anymore," she recalls. "I wasn't special anymore and I am glad, obviously that it stopped. But I would spend the rest of my life trying to be worthy again. And I was taught, at five, that my worth came from what someone could take from my body and I continued thinking that – and believing it."
In adulthood, Jace had a number of unnatural relationships, with her addiction eventually pushing her to the brink of suicide. Finally, she sought professional help, attending a meeting for addicts.
She decided to stop having s*x so she could learn about it, explaining: "I decided I probably shouldn't put myself back in that situation until I could do it in a healthy way. So I started my project, 'Suddenly Celibate', and spent the next couple of years visiting experts in the US and learning more about addiction."
After a year of not having s*x, she met and began dating her partner William, after which she decided to end her celibacy.
"Addiction is a helpless, hopeless, sad and dark world and that's true," she reflects. "It's a place of powerlessness, where your life is chaos all of the time. It's terrible."
"But there is a flipside. You're not doomed to this dismal, scary, chaotic life forever. In going into recovery, going from feeling completely hopeless and alone in the dark, now I live with enthusiasm."
She now works as a self-development coach and continues to run her website on s*x addiction and relationships.

For the Arabella Quartet: Your concert at Temple Emanuel on Sunday Feb 22 was excellent. I was particularly moved by the Shostakovitch 8th quartet, which was played with great feeling. You all seem to love this piece. Thanks so much for this wonderful performance. The audience didn't stir through the entire performance, so you seem to have reached everyone.

In the olden days, Billy and I used to have crazy Halloween parties, get dressed up, and have one (or seven) too many pints. Case in point.
What? We were Bonnie and Clyde! Ok, well Billy was a punk Clyde, but Clyde nonetheless. Oh, 2005, you were good to us.
Well, we're boring old people now, so Halloween involves carving pumpkins, watching scary movies (or not so scary movies, like my old fav Lady in White), and handing out candy. At least our pumpkin is still awesome.
After all, who is scarier than Pennywise? NO ONE.
Anyway, hope everyone has a great Halloween! Let's hope the rain doesn't ruin it for all the little kids!

Bolton School's first and second rugby teams have returned
victorious from their tour to Portugal over the Easter holidays,
winning three out of the four games played on the trip.
The teams flew out to Estoril just outside Lisbon for their four
day tour and along with all the rugby played early on in the visit,
the boys also had chance to visit Benfica FC Stadium and Lisbon
City Centre, play games of tag rugby, volleyball and
soccer on the beach, and take advantage of the warm weather by
relaxing around the hotel swimming pool.
In the opening match of the tour the first XV began with a
hard fought 15-0 win at Cascais RFC. Sam Higgins and Richard
Newman were the pick of the Bolton players as the side missed
several opportunities to extend their lead. Gage Rosimus crossed
twice to score and Adam Greenwood brought greater control to the
game when he moved to stand off. The game was played on a 3G
artificial surface, something which has become a regular feature
for rugby in Portugal.
The second game saw Bolton U17s cruise into a 12 point lead with
tries from Patrick Collinson and David Flaherty. The home side then
responded with two tries from some free flowing rugby and with
Bolton losing the contact area the game began to slip away. With a
large bench to use, Bolton rang the changes but the home side took
the chance to take the lead with three late tries giving Cascais a
27-12 victory.
The next day the two sides travelled to Caldoe RFC, who are
based at superb facilities at Lisbon University. The second team
took the field first and with better organisation than the previous
day, got a grip of the match from the start. Tries were scored
by Captain Nick Aiyegbusi, David Flaherty, Simon Lockett, Alex Ault
and Ahmed Bhailok. Flaherty also added extras with the boot to give
a well earned 39-0 win. Once again all 25 players were used, but
this time the side kept the cohesion and momentum required for
The first team played second, also against Caldoe, the game
again on astro, this time in the shadow of the Sporting Lisbon FC
ground. It was clear from the start that Bolton had too much
power for the home team and tries were scored on a regular basis
throughout. Amongst the try scorers were Captain Robert Bolton,
Vice Captain Richard Newman, Gage Rosimus, and James Kuligowski.
Alex Riley had a good night with the boot as he slotted conversions
from a variety of angles. The biggest cheer of the night was
reserved for soccer boy and X Factor contestant Lewis Foster
who scored on the left wing to the delight of the tour party. A
final score of 50*- 0 did not reflect the effort the Portuguese put
into the game, but it was a fitting finale to a successful tour
that the best rugby played by Bolton was reserved for the last
The trip was supported by local businesses Silk Group who
sponsored the team polo shirts, and by Warburtons who sponsored the
boys' match shirts. The tour was organised by Sports and Corporate

tour ran very smoothly.

David and Goliath, the call of Samuel, the witch of Endor, David and Bathsheba — such biblical stories are well known. But the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, where they are recorded, are among the most difficult books in the Bible. The Hebrew text is widely considered corrupt and sometimes even unintelligible. The social and religious customs are strange and seem to diverge from the tradition of Moses. In this first part of an ambitious two-volume commentary on the books of Samuel, David Toshio Tsumura sheds considerable light on the background of 1 Samuel, looking carefully at the Philistine and Canaanite cultures, as he untangles the difficult Hebrew text.
About the New International Commentary Old Testament Series
"In the Old Testament we read God's word as it was spoken to his people Israel. Today, thousands of years later, we hear in these thirty-nine books his inspired and authoritative message for us."
These twin convictions, shared by all of the contributors to The New International Commentary on the Old Testament, define the goal of this ambitious series of commentaries. For those many modern readers who find the Old Testament to be strange and foreign soil, the NICOT series serves as an authoritative guide bridging the cultural gap between today's world and the world of ancient Israel. Each NICOT volume aims to help us hear God's word as clearly as possible.
Scholars, pastors, and serious Bible students will welcome the fresh light that this commentary series casts on ancient yet familiar biblical texts. The contributors apply their proven scholarly expertise and wide experience as teachers to illumine our understanding of the Old Testament. As gifted writers, they present the results of the best recent research in an interesting manner.
Each commentary opens with an introduction to the biblical book, looking especially at questions concerning its background, authorship, date, purpose, structure, and theology. A select bibliography also points readers to resources for their own study. The author's own translation from the original Hebrew forms the basis of the commentary proper. Verse-by-verse comments nicely balance in-depth discussions of technical matters — textual criticism, critical problems, and so on — with exposition of the biblical writer's theology and its implications for the life of faith today.
About the Author
David Toshio Tsumura is professor of Old Testament at Japan Bible Seminary, Tokyo, chairman of the Tokyo Museum of Biblical Archaeology, and editor of Exegetica: Studies in Biblical Exegesis.
David Tsumura's commentary on 1 Samuel is a major work in an already well-populated field. His specialty in Hebrew language and stylistics enables him to make a unique contribution to the textual study of this biblical book, and he challenges many settled explanations of the text. Tsumura's engagement with the secondary literature is formidable, and his introduction is unusually informative on a wide range of features relating to the text and its interpretation. This is a notable commentary achievement.

Mutual Fund Documents: Get to Know the Mutual Fund You Invest In
Before you invest in a mutual fund you need to read any information that is available to shareholders and investors in order to know where you put in your money. There are different documents you can use to obtain such information.
The mutual fund's prospectus
A mutual fund's prospectus contains valuable information about the fund's fees and expenses, strategies to achieve the investment objectives, risk level, past performance, and more. An investor should receive a prospectus once he or she purchases shares of a mutual fund.
Some mutual funds also provide a "profile" to investors. This profile summarizes key information that is contained in the fund's prospectus, including principal investment strategies, investment requirements, identity of the fund's investment adviser, etc.
Statement of Additional Information (SAI)
Statements of Additional Information (SAIs) provide information that is found useful by many investors but that is not necessarily needed in order to make an informed investment decision. Thanks to SAIs funds can discuss further the matters described in the prospectus (such as the financial statements of the fund) and provide additional information about the fund's history, policies, performance measures, brokerage commissions, officers, directors, investment advisory services, tax matters, etc.
Although funds are not required to provide SAIs to investors, they should provide them upon request.
Shareholder Reports
Mutual funds should provide an annual report (60 days after the end of the mutual fund's fiscal year) and a semi-annual report (60 days after the fiscal mid-year) to their shareholders. The reports include updated financial information as well as the fund's portfolio securities.
Other Reports
Other reports that funds are required to file on the SEC's EDGAR database but are not required to mail to their shareholders include the Form N-Q and the Form N-PX. The former is used to disclose the fund's portfolio holdings whereas the latter identifies the proposals on which funds vote portfolio securities and shows how they vote on each.

I was a home-schooled child visiting the capital of the state of Connecticut when the state motto, which was written in Latin was translated for me and my siblings on our educational tour through the building. I remember the words to this day; "Qui transtulit sustinet" which means, "He who transplants, still sustains". Little did I know that this was not only the motto of the state I was born in, but a motto for my journey with God.
At twenty-six years old, I moved permanently to the nation of Israel. I didn't come with wealth, status, paperwork or many material possessions. I came only with a word from God that this was the direction He was taking me and that He would be my guide. Ten years later, I have this testimony that God is faithful.
I was reminded of this motto one spring day as I yearned for color to return to my garden after enduring a long, drawn out winter in Jerusalem. Everything in me wanted to pay a visit to the neighborhood plant nursery and select multitudes of life-giving flowers to brighten the drab looking garden where everything appeared dead. But due to urgent expenses that needed more attention than my wish list, I heeded my husband's request to wait a little longer before buying things I wanted but didn't need.
All these years, God has provided for me and my family through friends, extended family and even more frequently, beside neighborhood dumpsters! I have found clothing in mint condition still with the tags on all neatly folded and placed in pristine shopping bags. Shoes fresh out of the box just the right size for my children; much needed pots, pans and silverware, furniture, all kinds of items, all in great condition. There they are, just laying besides the dumpsters as if they were placed there by God Himself, waiting just for me. "But what about flowers Lord? I asked. "Would you provide flowers which I want but don't need by a dumpster as well?"
Well, why not! Just a few short days after I whispered my request to God, I was bringing my children home from an after school program when something in a large, construction dumpster caught my eye. I quickly found a place to pull over and got out to have a closer look. There, laying freshly picked, still with their roots and dirt, were five plants blooming with small, burgundy daisies. I was amazed! But perhaps it was too good to be true. I went home, took dirt from my compost and planted the flowers in planters that I had found by dumpsters earlier that week. Days went by and I watched carefully to see what would become of them. I wondered, "were these the answer to my prayer? Or were they being transplanted too late in the game to live?" Only time would tell. Within a week or two, I had my answer. The plants thrived, brought out new growth and most certainly lived.
It was in that moment that God reminded me of the place He has brought me from many years ago. Though there have been struggles, feasts and famines in our finances, joys and hardships along the journey, here I am still standing and still with this testimony, that "He who transplants, still sustains".
The same God who brought the children of Israel through the desert, is the same God who is sustaining His people in their promised homeland today. And the same God who shepherded His people in times of famine, is still shepherding His people in times of plenty. Is the God of Israel your God? If so, then you too can take comfort that no matter what season of life you are walking through, if He calls you out of the boat, He will be with you. If He calls you out of your comfort zone and into a walk of faith in Him, will He not be faithful? Remember these words that all who trust in Him can apply to their lives: "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"- Jeremiah 29:11.
God bless you.

Reports: ACA's Ben McCormack's Arrest Part Of A Nationwide Paedophile Ring
A Current Affair reporter Ben McCormack's arrest on child pornography charges last month wasn't a one-off, but part of a wider nationwide paedophile ring it has been revealed.
According to news reports, the ring was uncovered when West Australian police arrested a child rapist in Perth. Their investigations led to a sophisticated paedophile ring being uncovered which has since snared McCormack and at least two primary school teachers.
The revelations have been made by The West Australian and suggest McCormack was snared when the rapist's computer was seized by police and phone numbers, emails and correspondence between the ring were discovered.
McCormack has reportedly been in an undisclosed mental health facility in Sydney since his arrest, with his legal team saying he is too unwell to front court on the charges that carry as much as 15 years in prison.
It's been alleged that McCormack was involved in child pornography "chat and exchange of pictures" for the past two years.
According to the report on The West Australian, a teacher in Perth and Queensland were also arrested alongside McCormack.

I don't know how this will go over just yet, but the word "smoothly" does not come to mind.
Michael Totten
Was Nasrallah's admission of spy infiltration into Hezbollah prep for a possible exit from blame in Hariri killing? Just a thought.
Michael Young, Daily Star (Lebanon)
Keeping track of the Special Tribunal of Lebanon (STL) is not easy.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago, that the STL seemed to have settled on Assad as the one responsible for the assassination of Rafik Hariri:
First it was Syria, then it was Hezbollah--now we are back to Syria.At the time, I noted that while Syria was now the focus of attention, just a few months ago, it was being reported that it was Hezbollah that was behind the killing.
According to the probe into the February 2005 murder, Syrian President Bashar Assad was behind the assassination of Rafik Hariri:
The German judge [Judge Detlev Mehlis] who was in charge of an investigation on the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri says the Syrian regime ordered his assassination.
In an interview with a German radio station, Detlev Mehlis said Syrian President Bashar Assad "ordered Hariri killed" because he feared the premier was cooperating with France and the US in order to overturn the Syrian regime and disarm Hezbollah.
Mehlis revealed during the interview, which was carried by many local news agencies, that the main reason for the order was UN Resolution 1559, which took aim at Syria.
And now, we are coming full circle as members of Hezbollah are officially being indicted for the murder of Rafik Hariri:
Lebanon was last night braced for a violent reaction from Hizbollah after senior operatives from the militant group were accused of masterminding the assassination of the former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri six years ago.So now that the indictment is out, what now?
In a long-awaited move which threatens to reawaken sectarian discord throughout the country, the Shia group was blamed by a United Nations Special Tribunal for the car-bomb attack on its leading Sunni opponent.
Lebanon's state prosecutor, Saeed Mirza, confirmed the tribunal handed over the first indictment in its long investigation into the crime, which at the time seemed likely to lead to a major realignment in regional politics.
Its contents were not formally released but judicial sources told The Daily Telegraph that Hizbollah's senior military commander, Mustapha Badreddine, was accused of masterminding Mr Hariri's killing.
Hizbollah's commander in south Lebanon, Salim al-Ayyash, is accused of carrying out the attack, along with two other men, named as Hassan Issa and Assad Sabra.
Hezbollah has been strengthening its position in Lebanon--not only militarily, in defiance of the UN Resolution that brought an end to the Hezbollah-Israel war, but politically as well.
Najib Mikati, the new Lebanese Prime Minister, had both Syria's and Hezbollah's support for his new position, so it is unlikely that he will just hand the 4 Hezbollah members over.
Left unanswered is the question of Iranian involvement. After all, would Hezbollah do anything so drastic as the assassination of someone so popular in Lebanon without the approval of its mentor?
The indictments are finally out.
Now let's see if it matters.

Anderson & Vreeland to Highlight Key Technologies at Labelexpo Americas
BRYAN, Ohio (PRWEB) August 27, 2018
The landmark event for the most dynamic and fastest growing part of the printing industry touches down at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois from September 25–27. Are you ready?
Just a short cab or Uber ride from O'Hare airport Labelexpo Americas, the biennial fusion of technology, imagination and innovation for all things related to flexo, label and package printing is an invaluable opportunity for label and packaging pros to network with peers from throughout the U.S. and Canada while learning about, experiencing, and touching a vast array of new technologies that can make a competitive and profitable difference in your business.
Booth 929
About halfway down the center aisle, in Booth 929, a must-see location is Anderson & Vreeland. A leading distributor and manufacturer of flexographic and digital technology for labels and packaging, A&V will be highlighting key technologies backed by its team of technical experts thoroughly versed in the fine points of flexo and digital imaging. Come armed with questions and be ready to leave with a deeper knowledge of the processes you rely on every day.
State-of-the-art plate perfection
Two centerpieces at Anderson & Vreeland will be the Flint Xpress Thermal Plate Processor and the Xeikon ThermoflexX digital imager. The Flint Xpress helps converters produce high quality plates faster and more reliably. The made-in-the-USA Xpress features remote service and diagnostics, the scalability to handle plates up to 42 x 65 inches and a revolutionary short-wave IR heating system for precise heating depth control, resulting in excellent dimensional plate stability without the need for a chiller. And, with an eye on the environment, the Flint Xpress offers a waste recovery program for all consumables produced by the machine.
ThermoFlexX 30
A few feet away you'll find the Xeikon ThermoflexX 30 digital imager, packed full of operator friendly features and controls. It is just one member of a line of ThermoflexX digital imagers that combine digital technology with an open, modular workflow to accelerate the platemaking process while producing high-quality flexographic and letterpress plates at resolutions up to 5080 DPI.
A single resource
Together, the Flint Xpress and the ThermoflexX 30 showcase A&V's focus on providing the most innovative materials and technical solutions available. They are joined in Booth 929 by still more equipment, software and technical expertise from seven other partners that showcase Anderson & Vreeland's support for label and packaging converters:
- Automate your workflow with PACKZ and PATCHPLANNER from Hybrid Software while streamlining handling of the pass-off for further production.
- If you're serious about color, talk with one of our experts about GMG to learn the advantages of GMG's OpenColor technology and workflow tools.
- Compact, easy to use, and environmentally friendly, the Orbital X Water Wash System of multi-function plate processors are designed to use tap water for washing photopolymer printing plates.
- Ovit Flexomatic Plate Washer: Cleanliness is critical when reusing plates, so be sure to take a look at the Ovit Flexomatic Plate Washer, a robust washing system for converters and printers who store flexo plates for later use. The Ovit will clean ink from plate surfaces while recycling the water and washing solutions. Plates are ejected from the unit clean, dry and ready for storage.
- No matter how you manage color, it's important to verify you are printing the colors you need and expect. The SpectroDens from Techkon is a multi-purpose, modern measurement device for verifying proofs, completing press checks or inspecting paper and print products. The SpectroDens combines the qualities of a highly accurate spectophotometer in an easy-to-use tool.
- Toyobo is a force in films and polymers, offering converters a range of plates and plate materials that span a broad range of requirements. Be sure to get the latest details about Toyobo's Printight and Cosmolight plate solutions. Toyobo cites easier plate handling, especially in the raw stage; less tackiness; uniform ink transfer; and stable dots for improved reproducibility on its new NZ and QZ plates. All the details—along with clear advice from the A&V product manager and Toyobo —will be available in the Anderson & Vreeland booth at Labelexpo.
- As a global leader in color trends, science and technology, X-Rite offers a full range of solutions that help control color consistently and accurately from inspiration to final delivery. Their products span portable spectrophotometers to solutions for calibrating, monitors, scanners and printers. X-Rite's solutions focus on providing complete end-to-end color management solutions for every industry where color matters. When you are seeking to specify, communicate, formulate, and measure color, X-Rite's tools and technology can help you get it right the first time.
- A master of making materials adhere to each other, 3M will be showing converters how selecting the right tapes for splicing and plate mounting can boost productivity and enhance print quality and reliability. Tapes are not all created equal. Talk with A&V's 3M experts for the best advice on your pressroom adhesion needs.
Emerging opportunities
We understand all aspects of flexography, including managing inventories in an automated fashion. At Labelexpo, we will be unveiling our VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system using RFID technology with cabinet and full room applications.
A cabinet or cage manufactured by A&V uses RFID tags and software to monitor supply levels stored in the cabinet. When reorder limits are approaching or met, an order is initialized, utilizing authorization from a customer's blanket purchase order, then shipped to the printer or converter. The cabinet and software read more ...

Protecting your privacy: Anomymization the good & bad.
IP Anonymization is good, and bad - let's learn why.
The EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has seen data protection driven up on the agenda at banks and insurance providers. Data privacy regulation has moved from a reactive to a proactive emphasis. "Businesses are now scrambling to put in processes and technology so they can care for any personal identifiable information appropriately, and be seen as taking data security seriously or risk punitive punishment. The impacts of GDPR are felt not only by banks and other financial services companies, but also by the broader ecosystem that encompasses third-party vendors and partners who will also feel the impact of the regulation.

DIY. "Do It Yourself" sprinkler installation, shelf building, craft making and even electronic tinkering can be a fun pastime and effective way to accomplish more on a limited budget. To succeed in a DIY project you need the time, skills, motivation and equipment/tools required. Even with all the potential stumbling blocks, DIY finished products can be less-expensive and better-suited to match your preferences than something generically made—even if by a professional. When it's a viable option, DIY is definitely worth it.
The dialer management DIY option. It's not at all practical to build your own dialer. Developing an efficient predictive dialer is a LOT more complicated than making shelves or installing your own sprinkler system—not something you can find in a "how-to" book or blog. The "Do It Yourself" option arises when deciding whether to own and maintain the dialer yourself (the site-premised system) or use a vendor owned slotseeing.com and maintained dialer (the cloud-based service).
Owning and maintaining a site-premised dialer has some big advantages:
While owning a dialer is very worthwhile, its DIY nature means there is more work required than cloud-based services. However, if you're motivated and can meet the following requirements, you can certainly succeed.
Time: Does your current IT Staff have enough time to maintain a site-premised system? If not, are you willing to hire someone to handle the dialer?
Skill: Does your current IT Staff have the necessary casino abilities? In addition to the basic IT skills Disk recover deleted files VideosWatch some disk data recovery videos to learn about some of our craziest saves. of managing and maintaining servers, they'll need to be competent working with basic telephony technology (e.g. T1/PRI lines). If not currently proficient in telephony, are they prepared to take the time to learn about it?
Equipment: Do you have the necessary contacting infrastructure in place or have plans to get it? For traditional site-premised dialers this typically includes the server, T1/PRI lines, telco/dialing card, an operating system and a text to speech engine. (Note: Using Host Media Processing, software-based call processing, can decrease cost and equipment requirements.)
Dialer ownership is just like other "Do It Yourself" opportunities—with sufficient knowledge and adequate time allotted, it can be well worth the investment. For more questions to consider when deciding what kind of dialer is best for you, read IAT's white paper "7 Questions to ask before selecting your next dialing technology."

Error Code:
Audio Distortion
"Audio Distortion" is an errant manipulation of sound, experienced in relation to dialogue, music, and or effects, unintentional or has no context within the scene.
The audio is over-modulated resulting in noticeable distortion. Audio Distortion impacts both the Content and the Technical Quality of the Asset. The customer experience is negatively impacted by audio playback containing content that distracts from the overall experience and not typically Creative Intent given the context of the scene.
Severity Structure:
A minor errant effect within the dialogue, or a major errant sound within music and or sound effects
How to Prevent:
Measure signal in as many points as possible in order to avoid introducing distortion.
Review the original recording and determine if the effect was in the recording or produced during the mix, correct and re-deliver the print master. Check the M&E to ensure that it doesn't exist there, redeliver M&E as well if it is.
If the source sounds ok, then it's possible that the audio levels were adjusted at some point, possibly during ingestion of the tape master (tape deck was misconfigured), during an edit (audio mixer of the non-linear editor was incorrectly adjusted), or during transcoding (a gain filter was applied).
Return to the point in your workflow where you are able to verify the audio was ok and start re-processing from that point. If you have to take it into an NLE (non-linear editing system) to perform an edit then ensure that the NLE is correctly configured. When re-transcoding, ensure no gain filters have inadvertently been applied to the profile being used.

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 23
The third cure teaches that evils are easy to endure, and the above Taoist verse specifically teaches the consolation of impermanence. Acute pains are only temporary, and we eventually get used to chronic ones and can focus on other things.
This verse teaches that in all of nature we observe this: nature is too fluid for evils to be everlasting or persistent.

Apparently people have been wearing safety pins to show that they're against Trump. I get the message and it's good, but it won't affect the fact that he's in office right now, and all people can do is wear a safety pin on their clothing as more of an accessory than a showing people's disagreements with Trump. I as a Muslim American think it's a cool concept, but I don't think it's the best we can do. We can do better. Rallies were a great way to start.

The MonkeyPope and The Others
That's pure funk, baby.
MonkeyPope funk. So get up off the downstroke!
The MonkeyPope just played a monster game of online poker against an opponent that people at the table claimed was a bot. Well, from a starting table of nine, it came down to me and botman. And I played aggressively, instinctively, I said to myself in a Charlton Heston sneer, "Now what do I got as a big hairy ape man that this damn dirty machine doesn't? The right to bear arms!" But that didn't help me much. So then I invoked a saying I live by, WWCHAMITTCD (What would Charlton Heston as Moses in The Ten Commandments do?) Easy, he'd call botman's all-in with his pocket 3's. After all, Moses (that's me now) has the chip lead (by about 2500) and he's got something else in his corner…God.
Well, botman flipped up AJ and down splashed a rainbow flop of QK8. His outs — the three other aces and three other jacks, along with the four tens still left in the deck for a gutshot straight draw. God, I like poker lingo.
Botman hits a ten on 5th street for the straight and suddenly has a commanding lead on me. To his more than 10,000 chips, I have less than 2500. But a new factor enters the equation. Observers start typing in the chat box that they had bet their friends that a 10 would fall on the river. That's right, people were watching and placing sidebets on the unbeatable bot. Oh no, bitches. Now I had a duty to all mankind to destroy botman, like Kaspararov versus Big Blue, like Agassi versus Sampras (people, Sampras was a robot, fyi), like Arnold versus T2 if Arnold was human, like Moses versus the golden calf, if the golden calf was automated, like some shit versus some other shit.
I'll be god-damned if it weren't MonkeyPope Funky Pope Time. Suckah MCs.
I clawed, clawed. Observers begged me just to sit out, that it was impossible to beat the bot, save face, save dignity, self-respect and bow to its superiority?
Hey man, all I have in this world is my balls and word and I don't break them for no one. I was in the zone and in the heat of the moment and confused by mixed metaphors, so I did not keep track of individual hands. But hand after hand, I played with subtlety and passion, laying down when it felt wrong, pushing when it felt right, ignoring pot odds, statistics, relying on the innate qualities that made me human, like craving nachos.
Before I realized it, I had a small lead and when I noticed it, I got Q6 in the small blind. Botman doubles the blind at me. Normally, I'd fold, but one-on-one versus botman with God in my corner and all the hopes of humanity on my shoulders? You bet your finger-filled bunghole that I was feeling it. I knew this was the one.
Flop comes 3Q2. Botman pauses (how very un-bot-like of him…). Then pushes all in. Six isn't a very good kicker even for high pair, but Jesus age fucking Christ, it was for God and humanity, I knew this hand was mine, no, not mine, but all of ours (I gesture expansively with my arms as if I'm holding the world with tender loving care). I call. Botman flips over AK. Bitchass botman was about to go down versus Q6. Botman's got 6 outs, the other aces and kings in the deck, but like I said, when you're defending all of humanity, God's got your back, baby. Botman didn't hit shit except a brick wall of human dominance named DA MONKEY FUNKY POPE! Bitchass.
In the words of the Nazis, that's the Triumph of the Will, excuse me, Triumph des Willens! Schnell! Schnell!
Well, gentle readers, while the MonkeyPope enjoys regaling you with his vanity, he is the bearer of sad news. His current living conditions will change at the end of week, resulting in a complete loss of internet connectivity for an undetermined, but albeit undoubtedly long, period of time. I may not have the opportunity to update again until late November. But just imagine how much delicious funk will be stored up in me by then, just waiting to gush out. And I promise some very interesting updates in the future. There may be another post before my little training hiatus, but the possibility is slim. I have to move, prepare for a field training exercise this weekend, keep up on my homework in class, register my car, submit my TDY/PCS leave form, and far too many other menial crap tasks to list here (but let me vent — all this junk is exacerbated by the, shall we say, 'Southern Work Ethic' so strenuously practiced here which couple with military incompetence and apathy means you are required to visit an office at least four times before they deign to assist you, if they're not taking an extended lunch or coming in late or leaving early. Fuckers. Oh, that felt good).
Well, brilliant then. I believe I'm off.

Advocacy & Research
Through our diverse membership, the Consortium has access to a wide variety of community organizations and care providers in the Bronx. We hear about the challenges and needs on the ground and elevate those concerns through our relationships with City and State government agencies. We have engaged in several research projects to better understand the prevalence and needs of homeless and unstably housed individuals who also have complicated medical and behavioral health needs.
Below are a few of the research projects and advocacy work we have initiated or been a part of. Visit our Hospital Homeless Count page and Bronx Respite Needs Assessment page for more information on these initiatives.

Bronx Frequent User Initiative
Working with the Corporation for Supportive Housing, the Consortium is undertaking a research study to identify and analyze high utilizers of hospitals systems and how Health Homes, PPSs, hospitals, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and others may develop interventions and investments to strategically align available housing resources with the needs of homeless people with complex health care needs. With this hard-to-reach population, simple referrals do not work; a more intensive outreach and engagement approach is required for the costliest frequent users that current systems are unable to reach. Stay tuned for more information as we carry out this pilot initiative.
A Lifetime of Independence: Recommendations to the New York City Supportive Housing Task Force
The Consortium has signed on to a series of recommended guiding principles to Mayor de Blasio's Supportive Housing Task Force to support their efforts to advance healthy aging-in-place for New York City's extremely vulnerable aging and elderly homeless. CSH has been leading an Aging in Supportive Housing Learning Collaborative for the past year to determine best practices for serving an aging population in supportive housing. "Aging" is not a specific supportive housing population, but there are unique service needs and programs that best serve older people who are formerly homeless and/or leaving institutions. To that end, and on behalf of New York's best minds in this field, CSH has developed a brief compilation of key recommendations they recently made to the New York City Supportive Housing Task Force. A dozen organizations, including the Consortium, dedicated to promoting health and stability for our most vulnerable residents believe these recommendations support promising, healthy aging-in-place practices for future supportive housing initiatives. Also, a Core Competencies Toolkit will be released this spring and it will provide more detail on program models for aging in supportive housing.
Health Home/Homelessness White Paper: The Need for More Housing for People with Complex Needs
In 2014, in collaboration with the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH), the Consortium conducted a research study of the Health Homes in the Bronx, which included quantitative and qualitative analysis of 428 unstably housed Health Home members. The Consortium and CSH gathered and analyzed information from the Bronx Health Homes to determine the number and demographic makeup of health home members who identified themselves as homeless and found that 25% of Bronx Health Home members self-identified as homeless. This highlights the need for more supportive housing options for high Medicaid resource utilizers. Other key findings included the need for more MRT units for families and more support for people who have been justice system-involved. These two groups are very difficult to house and no MRT housing for families is being built.
The findings of this study were published in Behavioral Health News, and presented to state government officials as testimony of the need for more housing options for people with complex medical needs.

Dhyaas – Pune
The Last Color
Director – Shrikant Bhide
Dhyaas- Pune
About the Play
"There is a no single tiger left in world" And the soul of the last one is now tells us the story- "The last Color" This Fantasy is based on the current condition of wild life and specially the condition of national animal of India- TIGER. It reflects the human & tiger or nature relation with the help of some past true incidents held in India. This is just an attempt to create awareness about wild life. This is the theater for social awareness.
This story is purely fictious, created by human being, a human being has also created god through his imagination. one may not find this a true story probably its not. but this is an attempt to make all aware that this situation might become a truth in the future.
This is not a question of just me or my child, but its of every small tiny creature in nature. we all created our own world but we must not forget our roots which are there in the nature. whatever that is lost, is lost forever, but whatever is left, lets preserve that. after all humans are not bad or not an enemy, but there are few people who has forgotten humanity, still… lets not suffer the entire human kind for few of these. there are may be 4 hands to kill , but lets prepare 400 to save. live and let live. life is beautiful lets make it more beautiful…!
Today in year 2012 in India the tiger population is just at near 1700. Which was 1411 in year 2007. Which is positive change but this number was 40,000 to 45,000 just hundred years back.
This is the story of only one species but so many are there, who are living at the edge of zero.
Painting their lives with
The last color….!

Company will design and manage new network that is intended to change perceptions of district heating plans
Enfield Council has unveiled a new district heating scheme that aims to curb the existing carbon footprint for warming connected homes in the borough by 80 per cent when compared to properties using conventional technology.
Energetik, the energy company owned by the council, has reached a £15m agreement with Vital Energi to design, implement and manage an integrated energy network over a 12 year period that is expected to eventually serve 30,000 homes and businesses. The strategy is also intended to try and change perceptions about the effectiveness of district heating networks.
Under the terms of the contract, Vital Energi will design and build Meridian Water's main energy centre as part of a broader renovation strategy of the borough. The predicted 80 per cent reduction in carbon footprint from the Meridian Water heat network will come from making use of low carbon heat that the company argues would otherwise be wasted. These reductions will also be generated from industrial processes at the Edmonton EcoPark, as well as the use of large volume thermal stores.
Energetik aims to interconnect the meridian water system with other networks it has in Arnos Grove and Ponders End. These two systems are intended to cut carbon dioxide output by 58 per cent.
Vital Energi said, "The carbon saving is less than at Meridian Water because the other networks will use quality assured gas-fired boilers and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) as their heat sources combined with large volume thermal stores. It's still a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared to a typical central heating system."
As well as meeting an ambition to help Enfield Council's carbon emissions across the borough by 40 per cent over the next three years, the new agreement is also intended improve the reputation of the "unregulated" district heating market.
Energetik intends to meet this aim by registering each network with the Heat Trust consumer protection scheme as a minimum standard benchmark for its operations.
The company will also implement the highest level of insulation available at present in the European market to try and reduce heat losses.
"Insulation levels for above ground pipework is up to 250 per cent better than present British standards to minimise network heat losses," said Energetik.
"Our specification allows for low and seasonally adjusted operating temperatures to minimise network heat losses. In addition, we implement a strict technical specification for developer delivered heating systems to ensure quality, efficiency and compatibility with Energetik networks."
According to Energetik, the first customers will be connected to its Arnos Grove network during 2017 as part of its interconnected approach to heating.
By the end of the current year, 80 homes are intended to be connected to the network. The figure is expected to climb to 120 homes during 2018 and then increase incrementally up to 1500 properties by 2021.
"The Arnos Grove and Ponders End heat networks have smaller local energy centres and pipe networks than our largest scheme, the Meridian Water heat network," the company said. "We plan to expand each network over time so that more homes and business can benefit from connecting to energetik's community heat network."

We talk all the time about how important it is that a business, any business, keeps growing. Sometimes, the steps we need to take in order to grow are baby steps. We can put one foot in front of the other, and take change at a rate that we can maintain. Once in a while, though, the change we need is bigger.
Maybe it's hiring that 'A Player' who comes along, even though it means making some extra room in the budget, or perhaps it's a new piece of equipment that has the potential to change the game. For Arcade, right now, it's moving to our first 'bricks and mortar' office.
We have run Arcade from a home office for the past 3 years, and it has worked out for us. After all, we spend a lot of our time at our clients' locations, and we have access to some great training space thanks to our partnership with ABC of Western Washington. However, as time passed, it became clear to us that it was time to take a leap. It was time to grow. And we don't do anything by halves.
So, it is with great pride (and some small trepidation) that we announce the Grand Opening of our shiny new office space at:
4025 Delridge Way SW
Suite 140
Seattle, WA 98106
That isn't the only change we're making. Drop by our Open House on Thursday, August 3 4-8 pm, and not only will you be able to check out our new home, and meet some of the people who have made it possible for us to grow this far, you'll also get a chance to meet our newest team member.
And since we're making such drastic changes, it seems like as good a time as any to put a fresh coat of paint on our branding, with a new Logo and website. That's not all, there are a few surprises still in the works.
We hope you'll join us in celebrating our big changes. After all, getting comfortable with change is kind of what Arcade is all about. So, in honor of our ongoing quest to embrace change, we'll be featuring a series of blog posts about the process of growing into a new space, and a new phase of our business.
If you're planning to drop by our Open House, please RSVP, either in e-mail or via our Evite. We hope to see you there!

Stage 1 Preview
Benidorm - Benidorm
Stage 1: Benidorm - Benidorm
Each team starts out together…
This is the third time the Vuelta has started in Benidorm, the previous one being in 1987, when Jean-Luc Vandenbroucke beat Sean Kelly in a prologue time trial. This year's team time trial is about the same length as last year's equivalent test in Sevilla that was won by HTC, although this one finishes just before sunset rather than beginning just after. The technical course starts at the beach and rises quite quickly during the opening 3.5km before twisting back down towards the sea again. Given their exceptional quality in this kind of test, HTC-Highroad will be heavily tipped to win here.
Vuelta flashback 1964, The one grand tour that Raymond Poulidor won
When it first hosted the start of the Vuelta in 1964, Benidorm was in the early stages of its development. Decades away from becoming one of Europe's biggest resorts that now boasts the highest number of high-rise buildings per capita in the world, it was a rather insigni~icant coastal village with some building sites aorund its fringes. The 1964 race started with a stage victory for Belgium's Edouard Sels in the Mediterranean resort and ended in Madrid with a second French winner in a row as Raymond Poulidor succeeded Jacques Anquetil to claim his sole grand tour triumph.
Distance: 13.5km
Highest point: 138m
Category: Team time trial
Javier Guillén says...
"The race starts a week earlier this year, when everyone in Spain will be on the beach. So we decided to take the race to one of the best beaches in the world. The start ramp will actually be right on the sand, which will provide a great spectacle."
