Less than a year after getting walloped by Ivan De Terrible, the people of have not only dug out and dusted off, but are looking forward to a future filled with calm seas and clear skies. And right now may be the best time in 20 years to visit.
At sunset, as I was on my way home from work, I pulled over at the public beach and watched as a solid line of dark clouds rose out of the ocean from the south. By the time I made it back to the northern end of West Bay, to the condo I shared with two other dive instructors, and walked out to the balcony, the center of the storm front had stretched up into a broad point like the head of a great black shark leaping from the sea to gobble the stars as soon as they appeared in the twilight. When lightning began to spray out of the shark's nose, I filled a bucket with ice and grabbed a bottle of rum: This was cause for a celebration.
My roommates were already turning in for the night, so it was up to Mr. Appleton and me to form the welcoming party. I settled in at a gazebo on the edge of the ocean, poured a glass and watched as the storm slowly approached Grand Cayman. By 11 o'clock, it filled a third of the sky and had sucked away every whisper of wind and stilled the sea. At 1 a.m., the real lightshow began. Lightning arced from cloud to cloud to cloud, splitting and criss-crossing until it looked like the earth was covered in an electric spider web. At 3:30, the storm was nearly overhead, like a gigantic wave about to break. The roiling clouds flashed and pulsed but were strangely quiet save for a faint rumbling growl. I waited for the rippling peals of thunder. I waited for the wind.
I willed the storm to wash over the island. With the rash self-centeredness of youth, I saw it not as a threat, but as my salvation. High winds and heavy seas would mean that for the first time in more than two months I'd get a day off. After carrying countless tanks, teaching and entertaining an endless conveyor belt of guests, maintaining the rickety boat and leading as many as four dives a day without a break, no one felt he deserved the Caribbean version of a snow day more than I. A storm would mean I could stay in bed, as close to comatose as exhaustion and the rum could get me.

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
When the glow from my dive watch said 4 a.m., I looked straight up to where the dusky edge of the clouds met the clear-black, star-filled sky. It took me a moment to notice something odd. Just a few minutes before, I could only see Orion's belt; now I could see up the great hunter's dress. Suddenly it sank in: The storm was retreating, and with it my chances for a day off. I had to be at work in three hours.
The old divemasters' trick of surreptitiously sucking the pure oxygen out of the first-aid kit got me through the next day, but I never forgave that storm. I left Grand Cayman after a year and never went back — too many other islands to see and other dives to do — until now.
Standing today at the exact same spot where, 20 years ago, I waited for wind to blow and waves to grow angry, I realize how foolish I was. Last year, another monster rose from the south and threatened the island. But this one didn't back down. If someone was sitting at the Dolphin Point gazebo to welcome Ivan, his body is probably still in a tree — on Cuba. The gazebo itself is gone; only bits of foundation remain on the ironshore. A guy who rode out the storm in a condo next to the one I lived in said that when the storm surge reached its high-water mark the sea was just inches below the second-floor balconies. All the lower units were totaled. The ocean crashed in through the front doors and windows and carried away every possession when it blew out the back. Because the insurance claims here have yet to be settled, the grounds are a still bomb site, with purses, shoes, toys, roofs, hot-water heaters and green pieces of tennis court scattered all over. It's a disheartening first stop on my homecoming tour, but as I drive away, I can hear the buzz of power tools all around the neighborhood.
I'm not sure what to expect when I check in at a small divers' retreat, Cobalt Coast, built at the edge of the famed North Wall, a precipitous bulwark of ancient coral feathered with fresh growth and patrolled by flights of eagle rays. But as I step through the breezeway and into the pergola-covered dining area, everything looks to be in perfect shape. I grab a cold drink at the bar and walk around the oceanfront pool to watch a team of divers gear up and climb down into the water at the end of a long pier that points directly at the north wall.
Talking to Arie Barendrecht, Cobalt Coast's owner, and Nancy Easterbrook of Divetech, which has bases here and at Turtle Reef, I hear the good news: This side of the island was protected from the worst of the storm — the resort was barely ruffled, and the spectacular deep reef was untouched. I sign up to do a dive the next morning and drop my gear in a locker. The shop is about 10 steps from my suite, which has a view of the ocean. For a diver, it couldn't be more convenient or inspiring.
Though most of the people I knew 20 years ago on Cayman also moved away, those who stayed have fashioned successful careers. For a homecoming dinner, I hook up with Collin Pearson, a former scuba instructor who married a Cayman citizen and now owns a marine services company. He and his wife, Olive, meet me at Champion House II, a locals' favorite just outside George Town. After two decades, I'm happy to see that Collin has retained the shock of red hair, glasses and permanently astonished look that led the dive crowd to nickname him Beaker, after the Muppets character.

Attention Everyone: Today I call Time Out!
I've got something important to talk about.
Don't get me wrong; it's not like I'm Moses.
There's certainly no comparison it poses.
And don't expect me to spread the seas
But I do sense a miracle, if you please.
Today my blog reached a new milestone.
An accomplishment not achieved on my own.
No, you are very much part of the celebration.
I want to make sure I show my appreciation.
Now while there were many bumps along the way,
I managed to keep going and you managed to stay.
So together we have reached a brand new high
If you haven't noticed, that's a tear of joy in my eye.
Back in November when I started this endeavor
I never thought it would go very far, no never.
Our audience has grown; it's become widespread.
The number following this blog has reached 100!
What a benchmark this is for all of us to have achieved
I don't know about you, but I feel somewhat relieved.
I realize it's nowhere near the thousands who follow others
But I prefer small and intimate if I had my druthers.
So hip hip hooray to you guys for heeding the call.
Remember, we're all in this for nothing, nothing at all!
Books by Marc Kuhn: THE POPE'S STONE, an historical novel that follows two descendants of a Virginia family who, despite living a century apart, share uncanny similarities in their lives; NEVER GOOSE A MOOSE, a collection of whimsical verse featuring thought-provoking "never-do's" that children should beware of; and ABOUT A FARM, a children's book about challenges we all face every day, regardless of where we live. All three books are available at amazon.com and each has its own .com website under its title.

My solution is easier - use a van that struggles to get past 50 and you'll be fine lolHang on. This is confusing. Goods vehicles under 7.5T are 50, 60, 70 on single, dual and motorway respectively. That's interesting, as I thought ( wrongly, apparently ) that motorways and dual carriageways were the same. Seems I can travel at 70 on a motorway.
According to what I can find, the magic figure is two tonnes Max GVW. , ie fully loaded. Seems all Transits ( including Tourneos, which is another area of confusion ) are in the same class.
There is another interesting pitfall also. When your little van is first registered, it may be listed simply as a van, as opposed to car derived van. Thus, two identical vehicles can have different speed limits!
At least having read the rules again, it seems I can do 70 on the motorways after all.
Please don't take this as the definitive answer, but a government site is good enough for me.

When starting a business, there are steps you should take as well as mistakes you should avoid. With the right approach, you will find yourself in better position to achieve long-term success. Every year, thousands of businesses close down for one reason or another. Some of these closures are the direct result of making one or more costly mistakes. As you get up and running, it is important to know which mistakes have plagued others before you. This will allow you to avoid the same situation, thus improving your chance of success.
Below are seven mistakes to avoid when starting a business:
1. Overlooking the importance of a business plan. It's all in your head, right? While you may have a good idea of what you want to accomplish, a business plan, on paper, will ensure that you see it through.
2. Lack of market research. Before you ever get started, it is essential to understand the ins and outs of your market. Here are a few questions to answer:
- Who are your primary competitors?
- How long have your competitors been in business?
- How much do your competitors charge for a similar product or service?
- How big is the market?
- Where are your key prospects located?
By answering these types of questions, you will soon have a better grasp on your market and how you fit in.
3. Not understanding the wants and needs of your target audience. It is one thing to know who your audience is. It is another thing entirely to understand how to get in touch, what they are looking for, and how to convert them from prospect to customer. Just the same as your market, you need to know your target audience like the back of your hand.
4. Insufficient funding. Do you know how much money it will take to get your business up and running? Along with this, make sure you know how much cash your business will require every month. If you don't have enough money in the bank to fund your business, begin to consider other options. From a bank loan to credit cards to a personal loan to alternative lenders, there are ways to obtain financing. A lack of money has killed many good business ideas over the years. Don't let your company go down this path.
5. Skimping on marketing and advertising. You know your business has a lot to offer. But guess what? Your target audience may not even know you exist. You must have a marketing and advertising budget. It doesn't have to be huge, but it should be enough to spread the word and attract interest. Your business plan can include information on marketing and advertising, as well as a breakdown of the strategies you will follow and how much it will cost. As you begin to generate revenue, you can increase your marketing and advertising budget.
6. A lack of flexibility. Early on, you think you know everything. You think your business idea is just about as solid as they come. And then you face some resistance. The most successful entrepreneurs are those who remain flexible at all times. It may be difficult to change paths. It may be challenging to give in from time to time. This may be something you fight early on. But answer this question: would you rather be flexible or out of business?
7. Ignoring advice. Regardless of your experience and knowledge, you can always learn from others. This is particularly true if you are opening your first business and/or entering a new industry. Don't ignore the advice of outsiders. Taking this one step further, you should feel comfortable working with a mentor.
No matter how you look at it, you will make mistakes when starting a business. Even so, most mistakes are avoidable if you are organized, patient, and willing to keep an open mind.

This approach is the result of over 20 years of research. Together, we have more than 60 years of combined teaching experience.
In only one year, beginners as young as five years old can learn how to play and read music at a level that is normally achieved in 3-5 years with other methods and adults are able to play their first Bach, Beethoven and Chopin pieces!
Intermediate and advanced students focus on developing technique and repertoire. There are a number of venues in which our students perform such as the Fernbank Museum, retirement homes, piano competitions and other recurring recital opportunities. A number of our students have successfully auditioned for various university music programs, completed advanced degrees in music and are professional musicians or teachers.
Prospective students are normally invited to contact us to schedule a free lesson/audition however, our teaching schedules are completely full at this time. You may contact us to get on our waiting list!

Students Play at Fernbank and Breman Venues
Fernbank Museum Venue in Atlanta
On April 9th and again on June 12th, a group of our teenage students had the opportunity to play the piano at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta. Of particular interest were the special exhibitions featuring musical instruments and music found in nature, "Wild Music", the latter of which is still ongoing. These performance opportunities were possible thanks to one of our parents, Dr. Sofia Sheikh, for planning and organizing this wonderful experience for our young artists. She reported, "Congratulations to all the students for an exceptional performance and being so well mannered at the museum. You made all of us as well as the Fernbank Steinway proud! We have had very appreciative comments from museum management and patrons alike".
Students Perform at the William Breman Jewish Home
On July 13th, a small group of our students performed for the senior residents at the Breman Home. The residents and staff were delighted to hear the wonderful performances from beginner levels to advanced. The interaction and encouragement went both ways and it was a memorable experience! Thank you Robin Singer and Shauna Horvath for arranging this opportunity!
Summer Student Report 2016
We hope you all had a great summer! A number of our students traveled far and wide and we have the following reports from Nathan, Abby and Oak. We are sure to get updates from other students as well!
First, here is the report from Europe submitted by Nathan's mom:
While we were catching a train in Venice, there was a piano in the train station and Nathan started playing all the songs he knows (a few he was a little rusty on) & people from all over the station stopped and watched him play. He had quite a large crowd around him taking video and pictures. They came up to him after and wanted to shake his hand and tell him what a great job he did. It was pretty cool. His dad told him, "Never forget at the age of 16 you played on a piano from Czechoslovakia in a train station in Venice".
Next is the report from Abby's mom:
We're in Florida and the breakfast place has a 200 year old piano that Abby played on. She played Arabesque. The piano didn't sound so good but she had fun.
Oak came to see us in between his MANY music activities this summer! After an Organ Camp in Oregon, he made his way to Spain and Portugal with the Georgia Boy's Choir and performed with them on the organ. Then back to the states to attend another music camp at the Cincinnati Conservatory. At this writing, he is now at the renowned Interlochen Music Camp in Michigan for the top young artists around the country (and world)! He is studying piano and organ. He is having a piano lesson and organ lesson everyday. Then he has to practice to be ready for the next day! Hopefully, we will get some more photos from his experiences.
Spring Break and Makeup Lesson Week
We hope you are all enjoying your Spring Break! Dr. Silva will be making up missed lessons from the Spring Term. Please coordinate with him if you need a make up lesson and you have not heard from him. Regular lessons will resume on Saturday, April 16th.
Selected intermediate and advanced students will be performing at the Fernbank Museum this coming weekend. There is a neat exhibit about music and our students have been invited to perform at this wonderful venue. Thank you Dr. Sheikh for arranging this!
Wishing safe travels to all that are going out of town.

Tab Content


text:
Nodes are a way to organize your users into distinct groupings, similar to organizational units in Active Directory. The administrator can create nodes based on location, department, division or any other structure. By default, the top-level node, or Root Node is set to the organization name, and all Nodes can be created underneath the Root Node.
Smaller organizations might choose to administer keeper as single level, meaning no additional nodes are created by the Keeper Administrator. In this scenario, all provisioned users, roles, and teams are accessed from the default Root Node. The advantage to this configuration is there is no additional navigation required to find objects as they are listed under the default root level and easily accessed by navigating to the appropriate tab (user, role, teams). Larger organizations may find benefit in organizing locations or departments into multiple nodes. Users can then be provisioned under their respective node and have roles configured to match the specific needs of the business. One of the advantages in defining multiple nodes is to help support the concept of delegated administration. A delegated administrator can be granted some or all of the Administrative permissions but only on their respective node (or sub nodes) to help reduce the administration load on the primary Keeper Administrators. When the Keeper Bridge is installed for Active Directory synchronization, AD Organizational Units are identified as Nodes. Users and security groups, within specific organizational units in Active Directory, will be placed in the corresponding Node within the Keeper Admin Console.
To manually create Nodes and Sub Nodes, select the + button. The Add Node window will appear. Type the name of the Node in the Name field and select the node where you want the new node to be added in the tree structure.
At any time, you can change which node you are viewing by navigating to or selecting the nodes on far left Node pane. To navigate to the root-node or top level, select on the business name (e.g. The Company) in the navigation tree or in the breadcrumb along the top.
Teams are only visible by users in the tree path above ("parent") and below ("child") the node structure that the team is contained in, not via adjacent ("sibling") nodes. To make a team that everyone can see and share to, we recommend setting up your teams in the Root Node or a node at a higher level above the sub-nodes which will be visible to everyone. The visibility of users and teams is important in regards to Shared Folders.
Within a Node, the "Role" is defined that can enable administrative permissions.
If nodes are enabled either via Active Directory integration or configured manually from the Admin Console, the placement of the Role within the Node Tree is important with regards to where the administration permissions begin. Placement of the role at the top level will allow the Admin permissions to flow down to any of the sub-nodes if the Cascade Node Permissions attribute is checked within the "Administrative Permissions" setting of the role. If the role is placed in a sub-node with the Cascade Node Permissions attribute checked then the permissions apply to that node and its sub-nodes only. If the Cascade Node Permissions attribute was not checked then the role permissions is only applied the the specific node to which the role belongs.

The Ecological Economics of Consumption
Edited by Lucia A. Reisch and Inge Røpke
Chapter 1: The Place of Consumption in Ecological Economics
Inge Røpke and Lucia A. Reisch
Inge Røpke and Lucia A. Reisch Research concerning consumption in an environmental perspective has become very dynamic in recent years. Throughout the 1990s contributions have emerged from several different disciplines and approaches, and the research now covers a wide variety of topics. As ecological economics is open for considering all aspects of the interactions between humans and the environment, and simultaneously has the ambition of promoting transdisciplinary work, it is not surprising to see an increasing number of contributions on consumption and environment emerge at ecological economics conferences and in journals related to the field. This anthology can be seen as part of this wave of interest. As a background for presenting the contributions of this volume, this introduction outlines the history behind the present wave of interest in consumption and environment. Without aiming at completeness, the intention of the following is to give an idea of the disciplinary and methodological breadth and variety of research concerning consumption and environment, and to place ecological economic contributions in perspective. 1.1 THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RESEARCH AREA Studies on consumption date back to the turn of the 20th century, a first milestone being Thorstein Veblen's (1899) splendid sociological analysis of the 'leisure class'. Another landmark was economist Harvey Leibenstein's (1950) article on bandwagon, snob and Veblen effects, which inspired a whole strain of research on demonstration and status effects and, later, positional goods, and was about the first to explicitly thematize social external effects of private consumption. Until the early 1970s,...

Kevin English
Senior Director, Knowledge Management
In high school I purchased my first car, a 1969 Plymouth roadrunner bright orange with a 383 V8. This fueled my love for doing hands-on activities. As I worked on my car, I thought that being a mechanic was in my future. I also loved to cook and studied Culinary Arts in high school, running a student run restaurant on campus. I was also high involved in Future Farmers of America and competed in public speaking. Upon high school graduation I had two scholarship offers, one to study to be a chef, the other to be a teacher. I took the teacher scholarship and graduated from of the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's in Agricultural Education in 1986 and a Master's of Science in 1991. I worked as an agricultural educator, construction trades instructor and engineering instructor in the Peoria Unified School district in Arizona for 30 years before joining NAF in 2013, where I continue to support the growth of young people.

School and family events 2019/20
Summer shows in and around Kintyre
August 2019 sees our Education Officers taking stands at three different family events as part of agricultural shows in Kintyre, Islay and Mid-Argyll - an annual summer highlight for these areas.
- Kintyre Show (2nd August)
- Islay Show (8th August)
- Mid-Argyll Show (10th August)
Young people, their parents, carers and other family members are very welcome to spend some time with Katie and Michael participating in fun, free and interactive activities related to STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Visitors can also find out about career and training opportunities that are available for young people in the area as well as learn more about how ALIenergy is working to support the uptake of these.
Everyone has the chance to investigate and interact with resources and signposting information, as well as to take part in more structured activities featuring hands-on activities.The dyno-bike also makes a welcome return! Connected up to charge a range of household appliances, this popular attraction from previous ALIenergy events helps those with the energy to try it feel how much hard work is needed to power up the radio or CD player for a song or two, light up a desk lamp or even charge a mobile phone. Working with families and other groups, Katie and Michael are happy to adapt to people's different interests and the time they have available whether visitors of any age want to stay for a while, or come back a few times during the day. In any case, younger people attedning the stand get a chance to enter the competitions which run over the three events. For more on this and updates from the days of the three shows find ALIenergy on social media using the links at the bottom of this page.
Working with schools
From April 2019 onwards both primary and secondary schools in our target area of Kintyre and Mid Argyll worked closely with us to give ALIenergy another chance to play a part in the success of the transition weeks for the new secondary pupils at high schools in Campbeltown, Lochgilphead and Tarbert. Workshops delivered in both primary and secondary school settings gave pupils a real sense of continuity, as did pupils use of their STEM workbooks which have been created to give pupils a resource they can use and reflect on at different stages of the project. The activities included this year centred on the importance of STEM, how important this is in developing renewable technologies and how we approach energy issues at local, regional, national and international levels. Challenging activities to come up with a working design for a model wind turbine were engaging, interactive and fun, with positive feedback from the young people who attended, as well as from teaching staff who took part or visited the sessions.
Overviews and outcomes from previous years

Five Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure
We continually aim to invest for a smarter future and understand how important it is to engage in sustainable practices to help our future. This is why, before any investment is made, and throughout the investment cycle, we evaluate and score the investment against a number of predetermined criteria. This criteria forms our Five Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure.
To complete this assessment, we use a variety of Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) due diligence tools. These can range from questionnaires, which are given to key project counterparties to complete as part of the transaction process, to expanding our adviser engagement, allowing us to report in greater detail on the social and community impacts.
Foresight's Five Principles for Sustainable Infrastructure
Sustainable Development Contribution
For our infrastructure investments, our long term vision has been driven by the opportunities which have resulted from the shift towards an increasingly decarbonised economy.
Using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we have focused our investment approach and established specific sustainable infrastructure strategies that are aligned to make a direct positive contribution.
Our Investment Team consider the following factors to determine the score:
Affordable and Clean Energy
Does the project promote the development of clean and sustainable energy?
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Does the project invest into resilient and sustainable infrastructure, such as energy, transport and water resources? Does the project increase resource and energy efficiency?
Climate Action
Does the project positively contribute to reductions in greenhouse gases (GHGs)? Does the project contribute to national and international climate change targets? What is the direct contribution to carbon emissions from the project's activities?
Environmental Footprint
We believe it is necessary to consider the environmental impact of an investment. This includes: emissions to air, land and water, effects on biodiversity, noise and light pollution, and analysis of the long‐term climate resilience of a project.
Our Investment Team use the following factors to determine the score:
Life on Land
Does the project protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of ecosystems, promote biodiversity and halt and reverse land degradation?
Species Protection or Promotion
What is the project's impact on native / migrating species to the site? Does the project have high rates of species mortality? Does the project promote or support wildlife at the site?
Feedstock Sustainability
Is the feedstock (if applicable) processed by the project in line with the sustainability criteria set out by the associated incentive scheme?
Waste Management
Does the project take steps to minimise waste production and maximise recycling? Does it make a positive contribution to landfill diversion?
Emissions, Effluents and Wastes from Both Normal and Abnormal (E.G. Accidental) Conditions
What are the outputs of the project, and how can any undesired outputs be mitigated or minimised?
Social Engagement
We are conscious of our role in both the local communities in which our assets operate and our role as an employer and good corporate citizen.
Our Investment Team takes the following factors into consideration:
Health and Wellbeing
Does the project help to protect the health and safety of its employees and any third party? Is it compliant with all relevant Health & Safety legislation? Is there a risk of fines, penalties or regulatory intervention?
Local Economic Impact
How much of the project's inputs and supplies are sourced locally? How much of the labour force comes from the local area?
Local Social Impact
Is the project well screened from key vantage points? Does the project operate within noise restrictions? Does the project cause shadow flicker or interrupt TV signals? How are these problems mitigated?
Community Engagement
Does the project take steps to manage impacts on the local population or to create positive effects through engagement with the local community? Are educational visits carried out to the project to promote the benefit of the assets?
Community Benefits
How does the project contribute to the local community through investment in infrastructure / service provision?
How long will the project last for? Will the site be returned to its existing state when the project completes? Does the project have a decommissioning plan in place already? Does this plan promote the recycling of materials recovered from the decommissioning of the project?
While infrastructure project companies often do not have employees, it is important to evaluate their wider governance framework. Key considerations for the Investment Team include:
Compliance with Laws
Is the project compliant with relevant local, national and international laws and regulations? Are any prosecutions pending or threatened?
Employment and Human Rights
Does the project comply with relevant employment legislation? Does the project ensure that the human rights of its employees are considered and protected?
Anti‐Bribery and Corruption
Does the project have an Anti‐Bribery policy?
Management Structure
Are the project's decision‐making processes and legal documents appropriate, robust and supportive of shareholders' rights? Is there sufficient accountability, favourable indemnities and warranties in project documentation?
Is the composition of the Board and the quality and experience of its members suitable? Is the Board free from conflicts of interest? Does the Board contain independent directors?
Third Party Interactions
We analyse the key counterparties in a project's supply chain and seek to evaluate and score them in line with the above criteria. Our Investment Team will look at the following factors to derive the score:
Compliance with Laws
Are the key counterparties compliant with local and international laws, including environmental, health and safety and employment laws?
Key Counterparty Supply Chain
Are steps taken to provide reasonable assurance that there are no labour standards, health and safety or human rights issues in the supply chain? Does any part of a key counterparty's supply chain come from conflict affected or high‐risk areas?
Reputational Risk
Is there risk of reputational damage or litigation? Do the project's key subcontractors comply generally with our sustainable investing criteria?
Key Counterparty Policies
Have the following policies regarding a Modern Slavery Statement, CSR policy, Code of Ethics, anti-bribery / corruption policy, diversity policy, health & safety statement and GDPR policies been requested and received (to the extent relevant?)

Highway 380- Safety Changes
0 have signed. Let's get to 10,000!
Highway 380 is deadly. Due to the lack of street lights, police monitoring, turn lanes and frontage roads people are dying. Within a week alone on a small stretch of 380, two young adults lost their lives and in another accident the residents and businesses along with 380 corridor lost their electricity for hours. The lack of a police presence along the highway along with sparse stoplights promotes unsafe driving and street racing.
The more than 2,000 residents of Savannah do not have access to a street light to pull onto Highway 380. They are required to pull into oncoming traffic where the speed limit is 60-70 miles per hour and wait in the "suicide lane" to merge into the traffic.
The children who live in Union Park and the surrounding areas are required to cross 4 lanes of traffic with only a cross-light on Highway 380 to attend Braswell High School or Navo Middle School.
To visit the businesses along the Highway 380 corridor, specifically on the Denton County side, you are required to pull onto the small shoulder to pull into the businesses which is unsafe for all motorists.
The hundreds of residents of the Mansions on 380 do not have access to a street light to pull in or out of their residences.
The thousands of residents of Artestia do not have access to a street light to pull in or out of their neighborhood safely onto 380.
The lack of retaining walls along 380 causes cars to drift over into oncoming traffic, people use these median lanes to drive unsafely and cut through traffic and multiple head-on collisions in the "suicide lane".
These issues are not only causing multiple accidents including fatality accidents along Highway 380 but it is affecting the residents mental well being, values of their homes, the inability to sell their residences and area businesses profits are suffering.
We are requesting the following:
1) More local city/community police and Texas State Highway Patrol presence along Highway 380.
2) Retaining walls put up along areas of 380 that stop traffic from drifting into oncoming traffic.
3) Traffic studies done along area of Savannah, area apartment complexes and Artesia to implement traffic lights in these areas.
4) Repaint street lines to make lanes and dividers more clear to drivers.
5) Build frontage roads along 380 especially in residential areas and around local business so that people can pull in and out safely.
Complete your signature

Use money to buy back your time.
Spending money to get my time back has been one of the best uses of my capital.
I run a lot of projects:
Work up to 50-60+ hours a week as a management consultant (not including travel)
Work on my side businesses
Participate on several public policy committees
Conduct pro-bono projects for local nonprofits
Attempt to read a book every week
Write books (in progress)
Spend quality time with friends at least weekly and fly often to visit family
Work on my advanced degrees
...and sleep 7-8 hours a night, walk/run 5-10 miles a day, and live a healthy lifestyle.
This wouldn't be possible if I insisted on doing every single errand and task myself. Furthermore, although these things probably sound like work, they're actually my hobbies. I love them. They make me happy. So I was thrilled to be able to spend more time on these things but outsourcing what I call "life maintenance" -- especially the things that I absolutely hated.
These can easily suck up the entire weekend, leaving me with little time and energy to spend on MEANINGFUL work and activities that actually progress and fulfill me. I am intentional about spending my time, money and resources in areas that make me happy.
My time is limited and valuable, and I believe it should be spent doing things that only I can do. If someone else can, I delegate. Here's a list of how I've gotten at least 30 hours a week back, just by outsourcing:
Housekeeping (Weekly)
Laundry (Monthly)
Grocery Shopping (Weekly)
Meal Preparation/Cooking (Weekly)
Budgeting and Investing through Automation Systems (Daily)
Appointment-Only Beauty Services (Weekly)
Time Currently Saved Per Week: ~35/hrs. With 35+ hours a week, you could reasonably get back 140 hours per month, without skipping out on any of your guilty pleasures. What could you do in that time?
Work on your own business
Advance your education
Work on a side hustle/craft
Spend quality time with family and loved ones
Furthermore, if you're spending a mere ten hours of that time on a revenue-generating activity, you'll make your money spent back and then some.
To be clear, I'm not mandating that you outsource these things -- only suggesting that you can consider outsourcing things that you hate, in order to free up resources. Some people LOVE cleaning (can't relate) -- for them, it wouldn't make sense to outsource it.
Determine what will most dramatically impact your quality of life, what absolute makes you miserable that you would pay to never have to do again, and work from there.
Once you've done that, think about it: what can you accomplish, create or even earn with that newly-freed up time?
Almost done…
We just sent you an email. Please click the link in the email to confirm your subscription!

National Institute of Informatics - Digital Silk Road Project
|Archaeological Researches in Sinkiang : vol.1
The Chinese archaeologist HUANG WEN-PI, also a member of. Dr. HEDIN'S expedition, in 1930 found graves in three places near the northern part of the Qumdarya delta, and some of them he apparently examined. Judging from his written report to Dr. HEDIN, there ought to be an autochthonous tomb about 6 km. WSW' of the ruin T'u-ken (in the same region he found bronze arrow-heads, pottery and stone implements). About io li W of this place there are several graves, and about 6o li WSW from there another grave (mass-grave?), the last-mentioned being situated 8 li NW( !) of the river. His locations are far too brief and uncertain to allow of any identification with known sites, and his distances are much exaggerated. In one instance 70 li of his must correspond to about 12 km. instead of 3o —4o km.
When HÖRNER and CHEN surveyed the new lake Lop-nor and the Qum-darya delta, they located graves on two mesas, all more or less destroyed by age, but they did not undertake any excavations.
HÖRNER'S first burial place is situated 5 km. N 3o° E of his camp 79 in the delta, i. e. about 29 km. NNE of L. A. and 9 km. WNW of L. E. A leg of a pottery Ting tripod was found there (K. 13392). On the map Fig. 37 it bears the number 392.
1 This transcription is more correct in English than the Russian form Noin-ula.
2 This position is according to my own deductions.
found by HUNTINGTON is identical with STEIN'S L. T. The collections brought together from STEIN'S graves are rich and varied; in particular, the extraordinarily fine textiles with their marvellous colours and patterns have aroused great interest among students of textiles as well as among those interested in Chinese and Central Asian art in general. Their fundamental importance has only been increased by the discoveries of contemporaneous textiles in other places in Inner Asia, notably at Noyan-ola.' Altogether STEIN found eight cemeteries containing over fifty single graves and ten mass-graves, with many individuals in the latter. There will be occasion to make frequent reference to STEIN'S graves in the following chapters.
In 1931, Dr. ERIK NORIN of our expedition made a rapid search of STEIN'S cemetery L. H. and recovered two complete pottery jars. Unfortunately they were lost during the transport through Siberia together with a large amount of my own maps from Sinkiang. On a mesa in the neighbourhood of his camp 485 NORIN saw a tomb with a skeleton and rags of a coarse garment. It had probably been opened already. There were no traces of any coffin. If this is not identical with one of STEIN'S graves, which has been marked in the map Fig. 37 2.8 km. WSW of L. J., it must be very close to it.
A few kilometres to the west of the same camp NORIN's servants collected for fuel a donkey's burden of thick branches from some dead fruit trees.

Hi all,
I recently bought a second hand Gaggia classic and have pulled some alright shots from it already.
I took a look inside at the boiler and saw quite a bit of scale buildup around the sides (Brisbane has really hard water)
I want to take the thing apart and descale the boiler and replace all the seals.
Is there a list of all the seals I can buy before I do this?
Apart from pulling it apart first and looking at all the seals.

Enclose notes that we wrote to how to use the machine and clean
Gaggia Classic manual with new logo.pdf
Simple, basic, kitchen grade, citric acid powder.
Cheap, simple and works.
Don't use citric acid, particularly in the case of heavy scale build up.
As WBN suggested Cafetto restore is an excellent descaler. https://www.coffeeparts.com.au/acces...store-descaler
Agree with Yelta, I wouldn't use citric acid for a full descale. However as part of a monthly or frequent routine dilute citric acid works a treat. Best option of the lot is to do a descale with caffeto and look at water softening or filtration to eliminate the need for either option.
As I said don't use citric acid.
This quote from Chris at Talk Coffee.
"If you do have to descale, we recommend you use a proprietory descaler such as Clean Machine Activated Descaler. One batch will normally do 2 descales for mild to moderate scale. Its cheap and effective. For bad scale, use the lot (100g). Do not use Citric acid or supermarket descalers such as CLR. Citric acid can move plaques of scale and these cause problems elsewhere in your machine. CLR is poisonous."
True, citric acid isn't perfect. But this is a Gaggia Classic, not a Rocket Giotto. The only location that can potentially get blocked is the Solenoid valve which is easy access and a simple fix. That's assuming the machine wasn't opened up, but the OP also indicated they were replacing the seals on everything, had the boiler already opened, so it is all stripped down and in pieces. I'll stick with my citric acid advice.

5 Tips for Hosting this Holiday Season
Feeling in the holiday spirit? Want to share your good cheer? It's not too late to pull together a holiday party! This is the best time of year to gather with family and friends to enjoy some good food and great times. Holiday hosting doesn't have to be a huge undertaking! Here are 5 tips for hosting a party this holiday season.
Consider choosing a theme for your party
Serve food and drink from a certain region or maybe choose a color-theme…it doesn't matter, just keep it cohesive and fun. An ugly Christmas sweater party or perhaps a "Swedish Christmas" gathering, complete with meatballs, pickled herring and glogg (hot mulled wine). A holiday party doesn't have to be a formal sit-down affair – try keeping your party as an open-house, where people can come and go as their schedule allows, or a buffet menu, so less planning is needed for a formal sit-down affair.
Make a list and check it twice
Write down everything you need…grocery lists, ice, paper products, serving utensils, etc. Try to be ahead of the game, but also recognize you WILL forget something! It's okay if you need to call a dear friend and ask them to pick up apple cider on their way – people are willing to help!
Appeal to the senses
Be sure you have some great holiday music planned – with a mix of artists from across the generations (oldies are goodies!). People love the scent of pine and Christmas trees, so bring in the greenery and light the candles – your home will smell wonderful and feel welcoming and festive.
Keep the beverages accessible
As a host, it's very difficult to make sure all your guests have been properly served. Try having a separate beverage station where people can help themselves to a drink, or ask a friend who is extra social to help you out by pouring wine and making sure the coolers are full. Also, use place-cards to let your guests know what's being served (both food and drink) in case people have dietary restrictions or allergies. These place-cards can be festive and easy – and fit into your theme if you put a little thought into it.
Safety first
If you have lots of people coming and going, be sure to clear your walkway and steps of snow and ice and have proper outdoor lighting. Also make sure throw rugs aren't a tripping hazard and candles aren't near anything flammable. A sure-fire way to ruin a party is to have a guest injured!
Finally, recognize that your home doesn't have to look perfect. The point of the party is to get people together and create memories. If you can let go of the idea everything has to be perfect, you'll actually be a happier host and have a better time with your guests. Start planning, bring on the holiday cheer and enjoy!

Only on Salt Spring...
It's been cold... this is the view of the ferry terminal in front of us just after the ferry pulled out and disappeared into the fog ... doesn't that look cold?
leggings that the gal has asked me to turn into socks, basically. The colors she chose are light blue, navy and chocolate brown, and I'm on the mid-section already (knitting from the top down):
Speaking of knitting, we just had Gibson here for the weekend (too busy to take pics!) and he says to me, "Grandma, can you knit me a hat?" "Well of course I can! What do you want it to look like?" "I'll draw you a picture." So he drew me a picture as best any 6-year-old can, and of course, it told me nothing. So I asked a lot of questions... it's worn by a character in one of his favorite TV shows, apparently, and his friend at school showed up with this hat knitted by his mom, so now Gibson wants one, too.
Armed with just enough information, I did a little internet sleuthing ... et voila! Here is the hat he wants me to knit ... it's called the 'Brobee' hat, from the TV show "Yo Gamma Gamma". Apparently.
All I know is .... when any of my grandchildren wants me to me knit something for them, I'm all over that! :-)
