Malaysia, which accounts for about 60 per cent of the global output of rubber gloves, now targets to increase the market share by five per cent in three years. The National Key Economic Areas roadmap aims to boost Malaysia's market share of rubber gloves to 65 per cent by 2020.
According to a report published in the Web Portal Rubber Journal Asia, export of rubber gloves jumped 25 per cent to RM 7.95 billion against RM 5.28 billion in the first half of 2017 over the same period last year.
Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong, Minister of the Plantation Industries and Commodities said that the sector is expected to clinch a fullyear export sales value of RM 16 billion, or a 20 per cent increase, compared to RM 13.28 billion posted for the full year of 2016.
In September, Malaysia reportedly exported RM 19.1 billion of rubber during the first seven months of 2017. The rubber exports could potentially cross RM27 billion this year on account of a fireball global demand.
In August, Malaysia exported to more than 195 countries; and rubber gloves accounted for 73 per cent to RM 13.3 billion of the RM 18.2 billion value of rubber product exports for the year, said the report by Rubber Journal Asia.
Companies on an Investment spree
Shah Alam-headquartered Top Glove, the world's largest rubber glove manufacturer, has targeted the opening of three factories in Klang by end of 2018, to serve an anticipated increase in global demand between six to eight per cent annually. Top Glove also entering the sexual wellness business with an investment of RM 75 million for the first phase of its condom production beginning August 2018. The move is meant to increase the company's market share to 30 per cent in 2020 from 25 per cent.
Hartalega, a major player in nitrile gloves, is completing its RM 2.2 billion-Integrated Glove Manufacturing Complex (NGC) in Sepang. The facility will comprise six factories installed with 72 production lines that can produce more than 28 billion gloves/year. Hartalega expects an increased production capacity by 27 billion pieces in the first quarter of 2018.
Supermax, which exports to more than 155 countries worldwide and accounts for 12 per cent of the global requirement for latex examination gloves, has expanded its product offerings to include the manufacture of contact lenses. The company has earmarked an estimated RM 2.4 billion on capital expenditure over the next 15 years for its glove and contact lens manufacturing operations. It also expects to increase its glove manufacturing capacity to 45 billion pieces from the current 24 billion pieces.
Klang-based Kossan Rubber Industries, which currently produces some 22 billion gloves/year, has pumped up its R&D activities.
Unexpected challenges
Late last year, the Malaysian glove industry forecast a bullish domestic and global market at the beginning of 2017, which it had anticipated would favour the local-based glove makers. However, during the early months of 2017, events took a turn for the worse, and the sector found itself pressed with tight materials supply and price hikes of raw materials, such as nitrile (NBR) and natural rubber (NR).
The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers Association (Margma) confirmed that the prices of rubber went up by more than 55 per cent. Therefore, glove prices had to be adjusted to as much as 15 per cent to buffer profit margins.

Organo Gold leader, Craig Hill, is no stranger to success! He is tremendously valuable in both the public and private sector.
Craig was raised primarily by a single mom. His Mom dabbled in Networking Marking in the 70's, probably not even knowing it was Networking Marketing. She ran a successful business in Home Interior and Tupperware. Craig considers himself a second generation Network Marketer.
With his background in athletics it taught him not only about being disciplined but also about leadership!
Craig has a 10 year background in Corporate America, working as a City Manger for a well-known Telecommunications Company. He is an expert in Business Development and one of the top executives with the project he is going to discuss. In this industry he has over 8 years experience. He is sought out both as a National and International Speaker, Trainer and Business Strategist. He is the Co-Founder of 212 Marketing Group which now in less than 3 years grosses over 5 million in annual revenue.
He is a Family Man, being married over 16 years and is the father of a 10 year old daughter.
Craig mentions several books that have helped him achieve the success he has. The number one book of course is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Another book he highly recommends is Wallace D. Wattles 'The Science of Getting Rich'. He also mentioned a book that Zig Ziglar mentions frequently 'What To Say When You Talk To Yourself' by Shad Helmstetter. Make sure you purchase and read those books. They will change your life.
Craig earned his $250,000 earner ring from Organo Gold and a very short time after received his $500,000 earner ring. Make sure you listen to this interview with this amazing man.
OG and The Napoleon Hill Foundation have formed a unique and historic Partnership that will generate a Billion dollar coffee company and become the greatest financial contributor to the Foundation by far and forever.
The Napoleon Hill Foundation get approached often by companies looking to partner with them. Until recently they turned them all down. The combination of the delicious, gourmet, healthy coffee and tea and the significant financial commitment to the Foundation, made it clear that OG is a company worthy of partnering with. At every event at The Napoleon Hill World Learning Center in Hammond, IN they serve their healthy coffee and tea. On the home page of their website they have their OG website link. Read about the possible health benefits of the coffee and tea by clicking on the link below. If you would like to receive samples please let me know and give me your address so I can send them to you.
The Co-Founder, Shane Morand, and I sold Napoleon Hill's book Law of Success together 25+ years ago. Today he has found the perfect product, the perfect delivery agent and the perfect company to partner with. Shane's name is on the Collectors edition, OG branded Think and Grow Rich leather bound book and CD set. ALL the proceeds from this collector's edition go to The Napoleon Hill Foundation. That means all the money, not just the profit part. That is a serious commitment.
The ingredient that makes OG coffee more healthy than coffee shop coffee is Ganoderma Lucidum, also known as Reishi and Linghzi. It has been called the King of Herbs in Chinese medicine for thousands of years and is given to every cancer patient in Japan. It is the highest rated herb in Chinese medicine.
There have been many third party studies done on the affects of Ganoderma Lucidum. You can search them online.
One of the primary health benefits of our coffee is that it has a higher ph level than other coffees. All other coffees have a corrosive acid affect in the body, often causing heartburn and other stomach problems. You might not get that with OG coffee.

I've never met Indiana angler Bob Daly face to face, but he serves as a constant reminder of an angling life well-lived. As I've transferred from being a tournament angler to someone who prefers to put his time, money and energy into far-flung travel, I've learned that there is a small cadre of anglers both nationwide and worldwide who do the same – just at a much more advanced and frequent level than I do – and Bob is deeply enmeshed in their subculture. Every time I look at his Facebook account, it seems, he's returning from a trip to Alaska or Tanzania or New Guinea. Every time I find a new place that I'm interested in visiting, I need only go into his photo galleries and I'm sure to find evidence of his trip or trips to that location.
Of course I'm envious of his travels, but I realize that there's plenty more time for me to add stamps to my passport, scars to my fish-holding hands and replicas to my walls. At 47 years old, and with retirement planning on firm footing, there's almost no trip that's out of my range if I decide that I want it badly enough. Of course resources and time are not limitless, so I'll need to prioritize which ones I want to tackle first. With exotic locations there's the additional concern that they'll be found out and exploited, or despoiled by some sort of industry or misuse, so that comes into the planning as well. I don't want to miss out on any opportunities that might not be there in a few years. Fortunately, as I've also learned by cyber-stalking Bob's Facebook timeline, there are likely more cool fishing destinations left for me than I could manage in multiple lifetimes.
I've also taken inspiration in the pictures of his home, which seems to be held up by dozens of mounts, replicas, photos, and other reminders of his travels. Unless I get run over by a bus or killed by a jealous husband, there will likely come a time in my 80s or 90s when I'm no longer able to engage in even somewhat adventurous travel. I hope that by then my house resembles Bob's, with the finned memories of a lifetime chasing dreams visible on every surface. I just hope that I meet him before then – preferably not in his house or mine, but rather on the water.

A woman who worked at a Geneseo 7-11 is accused of being TOO good to certain customers. 29 year old Tiffany Brown is charged with giving away food and cigaretteswhile on the jobto people she knew who stopped in the store. Brown is already in trouble with the law. Last week, police charged herand another personwith stealing electronics from the Geneseo wal-mart. She's due in court on both of those pettit larceny charges
A Canandaigua man is accused of attacking a woman with an electric saw. Canandaigua police say they arrested Anthony Tears after he attacked a woman with a reciprocating saw. The woman was sent to the hospital for injuries to her head, leg and arm. Tears was jailed in Ontario County.
A Wyoming County man accused of driving a doorless car with an axe in the roof while on drugs is facing new charges. Yesterday it was reported that Jared Price of Java bent the backseat of a deputy's cruiser and intentionally damaged wires connected to the airbags. The damage is estimated at three-thousand-dollars. Price is still behind bars and is due back in court later this month.
With the new school year just around the corner, SUNY Geneseo has made a list of the best 382 colleges in the country. The Annual Princeton Review says the school offers a good mix of academics and student lifeand is well though of by students who go there. School officials say being on that list shows that the school is on the right track.

It's currently approximately 03:00. I have an exam at 14:00. I am so not as well prepared for it as I could be. I doubt I'll do particularly well, but on the other hand, I'm not expecting to do spectacularly badly either. And the plus side is that as this part of the courase is 50% coursework, and I've averaged slighly over 90% in my coursework, I need somewhere around 30% on the exam to get the overall grade of 60% that I'm looking for in order to be able to do the course I want next year. I think i can manage that. I hope that I can manage that. And now, I go to bed.
And yes, it was vitally important that I take time out between revision and bed to write this entry, why do you ask?

Tag Archives: Anxiety
Mankind tends to focus on what's happening, and I am guilty of the same, but there's something higher than what's happening—God's purposes.
The heart sends out clues to signal us, like red flags of distress. These waving banners are sent up like flares to warn and attract our attention.
There is only one answer to anxiety, stress, hypertension, fear, and trepidation about life.
When I refuse God's ownership, the only way I can be a Christian is by haranguing self into order. This is anxiety!
Stress is the indicator that we own something we can't control. Inevitably, we will fret over what we own because it owns us. Ownership is the issue!
A little ring, strategically placed right in the soft, tender flesh of the nose, is more than enough to stop a bull.
Disease and health, like circumstances, are rooted in thought. Sickly thoughts will express themselves through a sickly body.
If I make my fear a Custer's Last Stand of anxiety against God, then yes, I'm setting myself up for the inevitable fall. It reveals my bitterness with Him.
So, if anxiety is unbelief in God's ability to live my life, what do I believe in?
"Hey, I am going to remodel my house while I am preparing for my daughter's wedding!" Yes, anxiety is a focus problem.
Anxiety is fear but also control. And when we can't get control, the result is anger.
To "lean" is to go completely empty, looking for His filling. Coming with NO opinions, no thoughts and no strength.

Alternative medicine is predicated on natural therapy practices without the use of surgery or medication. While each Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine have moved on to advanced varieties, western herbal medication remains a part of folk therapies. By amassing the outcomes of sufferers who obtained various medication as an alternative of chemotherapy, surgery, and/or radiation, they discovered a higher danger of death. One of the most exciting points of going again to highschool to review various drugs is the individuals you will meet. However, the Commission on Massage Therapy Accreditation signs off on massage therapist degree packages.
Naturopathy colleges that provide different medicine courses are commonly comprised of complete studies in naturopathy, phytotherapy, botanical and herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and different Chinese medicine topics. If you (or someone you recognize) are interested in enrolling in considered one of a number of different drugs colleges to help find your dream job, let education within quick -rising industries like massage remedy, cosmetology, acupuncture, oriental medication, Reiki, and others get you started! Founded on the Yin and Yang principle, the five components and Zang Fu, Chinese drugs is an evolutional remedy in modern Western civilization.
Alternative therapies have been practiced for thousand of years particularly in the east generally generally known as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. When you start seeing the true prices of Western drugs, at that time, different drugs may start to look actually good. Whereas complementary medication is used together with typical medicine, different medicine is used rather than typical medicine. Unfortunately, nearly all of different medication therapies are tough to check and to show.
Those who are concerned with historical Chinese medication will delve into acupuncture, and a therapeutic massage therapist naturally treats the aches and pains of their clients. Alternative medication assessment of most medicines depict that the choice therapy are effectual and should not have unfavorable negative effects. It shouldn't be confused with complementary medicine, which is the usage of various remedies along with typical treatments. Alternative medicine has been noticed lengthy earlier than the advent of orthodox drugs and so will probably be an enormous dis-service to the committed believers of the practice who has been working exhausting to enchancment it, to look down on its efficacy.
In many circumstances, alternative drugs programs on this line of labor can result in careers as Doctors of Naturopathy, Naturopathic Health Practitioners and/or Natural health advisors. Some cancer patients also need assurance that they are partaking in something more than what the physician prescribed to find a treatment. The historic Chinese, in much the identical means as different drugs is used right now, based mostly their therapeutic on the significance of the body and spirit being in balance. Another instance is using acupuncture to minimize unintended effects of most cancers remedies in sufferers.

Music Of Ghosts: A Novel Of Suspense (Mary Crow #5) by Sallie Bissell
April 8, 2013
Midnight Ink
Reviewed by Tori
Favorite Quote: "Sometimes you have to go away. Then you can come back new."
When Mary Crow promised her longtime lover that she would no longer handle criminal cases, she never expected a murder to land at her front door. When the daughter of a prominent politician is found fatally victimized and her boss is charged with the crime, Mary is placed in the intractable position of proving his defense even though she knows it could cause her to lose everything that matters to her.
As Mary divulges deeper into the crime, she finds herself embroiled in a centuries old mystery that stems from a similar murder that occurred 1958 and a ghost story that still haunts the Appalachians surrounding her town. She is also having to deal with personal issues when her lover and his nine year old daughter return from a court ordered visit with her grandparents changed and suddenly acting cold towards her. With the help of the local sheriff's fiancée and friends from her time as a prosecutor, Mary will learn the hard way that blood is thicker than water and often times the ghosts of our pasts are never truly laid to rest.

This thesis deals with the modeling, analysis and control of a novel brushlessgenerator for wind power application. The generator is named as rotatingpower electronic brushless doubly-fed induction machine/generator (RPEBDFIM/G).
A great advantage of the RPE-BDFIG is that the slip power recoveryis realized in a brushless manner. This is achieved by introducing an additionalmachine termed as exciter together with the rotating power electronicconverters, which are mounted on the shaft of a DFIG. It is shown that theexciter recovers the slip power in a mechanical manner, and delivers it backto the grid. As a result, slip rings and carbon brushes can be eliminated,increasing the robustness of the system, and reducing the maintenance costsand down-time of the turbine.
To begin with, the dynamic model of the RPE-BDFIG is developed andanalyzed. Using the dynamic model, the working principle of the generatoris understood and its operation explained. The analysis is carried out atspeeds, ±20% around the synchronous speed of the generator. Moreover, thedynamics of the generator due to external load-torque disturbances are investigated.Additionally, the steady-state model is also derived and analyzed forthe machine, when operating in motor mode.
As a next step, the closed-loop control of the generator is considered indetail. The power and speed control of the two machines of the generator andthe dc-link voltage control is designed using internal model control (IMC)principles. It is found that it is possible to maintain the stability of thegenerator against load-torque disturbances from the turbine and the exciter,at the same time maintain a constant dc-link voltage of the rotor converter.The closed-loop control is also implemented and the operation of the generatorwith the control theory is confirmed through experiments.In the third part of the thesis, the impact of grid faults on the behaviourof the generator is investigated. The operation of the generator and its responseis studied during symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. An approachto successful ride through of the symmetrical faults is presented, using passiveresistive network (PRN). Moreover, in order to limit the electrical and mechanicaloscillations in the generator during unsymmetrical faults, the dualvector control (DVC) is implemented. It is found that DVC to a certain extentcan be used to safeguard the converter against large oscillations in rotorcurrents.
Finally, for completeness of the thesis, a preliminary physical design ofthe rotating power electronic converter has been done in a finite elementsoftware called ANSYS. The thermal footprint and the cooling capability,with estimates of the heatsink and fan sizes, are presented.
Besides, another variant of a rotating electronic induction machine whichis based on the Lindmark concept and operating in a single-fed mode is also investigated. It's steady-state model is developed and verified through experiments.
This paper investigates through experiments a differenttopology of a brushless doubly-fed induction generatorwith a rotating power electronic converter: the rotatingpower electronic brushless doubly-fed induction generator (RPEBDFIG),operated with variable speed and torque. The theorybehind the operation of the generator is presented, its dynamicmodel and control aspects are discussed, and closed-loop controlof the generator is implemented and verified through experimentson an 11-kW prototype. The measurement results show stableoperation for variable speed and torque regions. Moreover, itis shown that the integrated rotating exciter is sufficient torecover slip power and deliver to the grid, hence, verifyingsuccessful brushless operation. Besides, it is verified that thegenerator operates well in both regions of operation, i.e., the subsynchronousand super-synchronous modes, and is stable undertorque transients added by the rotating exciter.
A different configuration of brushless doubly-fed induction generator is presented. The power electronic converters are mounted on the rotor rotating with it. The slip rings and carbon brushes are replaced by a rotating exciter which serves as a slip recovery device as well as a means of providing excitation to the rotor of the induction generator. The dynamic model of the brushless topology is derived and analyzed. Furthermore, feedback control of the topology is also implemented and analyzed. It is shown that the generator shows stable operation in steady state as well as in dynamic state at variable speeds.
This paper presents the synchronous operation of a novel generator termed as the rotating power electronic brushless doubly-fed induction generator (RPE-BDFIG). It is shown that the generator operates well at the synchronous speed of the main machine, delivering the desired power to the grid. Furthermore, it is illustrated that the RPE-BDFIG behaves similar to a synchronous generator in the synchronous mode. The closed-loop control of the generator is implemented in real-time, and the current and voltage waveforms of the stator and rotor of the RPE-BDFIG are experimentally analyzed. The paper highlights the stable operation and full control of the generator during synchronous mode.
This paper introduces, simulates and analyzes a new topology of a brushless doubly-fed induction machine with rotating power electronic converter for wind power applications. Topology consists of two machines, one is the main machine which is directly connected to the grid while the second machine is the auxiliary machine which handles the slip power. The rotor of the two machines are connected via a power electronic converter which is mounted on the shaft and rotates with it. The steady state equivalent circuit of the two machine configuration is developed and analyzed. It is shown through simulations that the stator terminals of the machine can be operated at a unity power factor for variable speed range. Furthermore, it is shown that the presented system operates at a high efficiency at rated load and unity power factor.
This paper considers reactive power control of anew topology of a brushless doubly-fed generator—the rotatingpower electronic brushless doubly-fed induction generator (RPEBDFIG).It consists of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG),on whose rotor two power electronic converters and a rotatingexciter are mounted and rotating with its shaft. The rotatingexciter and power electronic converters supply reactive powerfrom the rotor of the DFIG, thus manipulating the powerfactor at the stator terminals. Theory for variable-reactive-poweroperation is developed and verified through experiments on an11-kW prototype.
Impact of the different magnitudes of symmetrical voltage dip on the performance of a Rotating Power Electronic Brushless Doubly-Fed Induction Generator is presented. This type of topology consists of a doubly-fed induction generator with power electronic converter and an integrated exciter mounted on the shaft and rotating with it. The transient simulation study is carried out in order to investigate the magnitude of the voltage dip the rotor converters can withstand before a protection scheme is needed for Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT) of the generator. Furthermore, successful LVRT under severe voltage dips is also performed using passive resistive network strategy.
This paper presents results for unsymmetrical lowvoltageride-through (LVRT) of a 2-MW brushless doubly-fedinduction generator with rotating power electronic converters.The behavior of the generator during various voltage dips isexamined and explained. The dual vector control of the generator,which assists the generator in riding through unsymmetricalfaults, and minimizes electrical and mechanical oscillations, ispresented. Furthermore, studies of the impact of phase-anglejumps and various magnitudes of voltage dips on the operationof the generator are presented.
This paper presents the implementation of the extended vector control on a new type of brushless doubly-fed generator when subjected to unsymmetrical voltage dips. This new type of generator has partially rated power electronic converter and exciter mounted on the shaft and rotating with it. The unbalanced voltages introduce positive and negative sequence components in the generator. The negative sequence components gives rise to torque oscillations and extra heating in the generator and power electronics which could affect the life time of the shaft, gearbox and electronic equipment. Two separate synchronous reference frames are defined and standard PI controllers are implemented in the reference frames in order to control the positive and negative sequence currents independently. Through these means the effect of the negative sequence currents is mitigated and it is shown that the oscillations in the behavior of this new type of generator are considerably reduced.
This paper deals with a 3-dimensional developmentof a thermal model of a power electronic converter mountedon the generator shaft and rotating with it. The dimensions ofthe heat sink are determined and the temperature gradients ofthe converter, its heat sink, and shaft during natural and forcedconvection are analyzed for variable rotor speeds. It is shown thatthe chosen sizes of the IGBT and heat sink offers compact designof the rotating converter, which is sufficient for its mounting inthe limited space, offered by the generator shaft. Furthermore,transient temperature profile is also presented. Additionally,transient thermal profile of the converter and dimensions of thecooling fan are also calculated. Besides analysis of the coolingrequirements of the converter during over-currents due to gridfaults is also investigated.

Furthermore,transient temperature profile is also presented.
This paper presents the theoretical model and analysis of a novel topology of the self-excited induction machine using rotating power electronic converters. The power electronic converters are connected to the rotor of the induction machine and it is shown that the machine operates at unity power factor at variable load conditions including rated load. Special control strategy of the two converters helps in magnetization of the induction machine from the rotor. The experimental analysis is conducted in the industry using 11kW induction machine and close agreement is found between the theoretical model and the experimental results. Besides, the rotor resistance is varied and its effect on the power factor and performance of the machine is studied and analyzed.
A new configuration for the self-excitation of the induction machine invented by Magnus Lindmark is presented. The power electronic converter using solid state switches is connected to the rotor while the stator is directly connected to the grid. Using appropriate control, the reactive power consumed by the motor can be generated in the rotor resulting in unity power factor operation. The rotor connected power electronic converter is also used for constant speed operation of the induction machine at variable torque.

5 Ways drinking coffee can lead to better health
Coffee doesn't just boost your energy, but your health, too!
Many of us can't start our day without a cup of coffee. And we can become so dependent on it that we crave it throughout the day, especially when we're in need of an energy boost. So it's natural to wonder, since we consume it on a regular basis, is coffee healthy?
Thought it can cause certain problems like palpitations, blood pressure, insomnia, and incontinence, it also has a lot of benefits.
Is coffee healthy? Here are 5 of its best health benefits
1. A cup of coffee a day could help lessen type 2 Diabetes
Whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, drinking coffee may help protect you from developing diabetes.
According to a 2009 study published in JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) claimed that for every cup of coffee you drink in a day, you could reduce your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
But if you already have diabetes or want to lessen your sugar intake, reducing coffee consumption is still encouraged.
2. Drinking coffee can help improve heart health
A number of studies have claimed that coffee can have a positive effect on heart health. One of the most recent is research done by the American Heart Association.
According to their findings, coffee can help reduce the risk of heart disease. For every 8 ounces of coffee per day, researchers found that it can help reduce the risk of heart disease by up to 7%.
3. Coffee can help minimise your risk for Alzheimer's and Dementia
If you drink coffee regularly, researchers believe it can help make you less likely to suffer brain-related conditions in the future, such as dementia and Alzheimer's. It can also boost brain health by preventing a decline in brain activity.
4. It can help protect you from depression
Not only can your daily cup of joe help you improve your mood, it can also help deeper mental issues, like depression.
A study, which had 50,000 female participants found that those who drank two to three cups of coffee per day reduced their risk of developing depression by 15%.
This was further supported by another study that found those who drank coffee regularly—about two to three cups a day—were less predisposed to committing suicide.
5. Drinking coffee can help reduce your risk for cancer
There are quite a number of lifestyle changes you can adopt to help protect yourself from cancer. And according to several studies, you can add drinking coffee to this list.
The British Medical Journal, for instance, found that drinking at least 3 cups a day could help lessen one's cancer risk by 18%.
Other studies also claim keeping coffee on your daily diet helps reduce the risk of developing specific cancers like endometrial, oral/pharyngeal, and prostate cancer.

Gum Lagoon Conservation Park (formerly the Gum Lagoon National Park) is an 8765 ha protected area about 40 km south-west of Keith in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. It lies about 20 km inland from the southern end of the Coorong. It contains an isolated block of mallee woodland important for malleefowl conservation.
Some 2700 ha formed the core of the reserve when it was originally proclaimed as Gum Lagoon National Park in August 1970. It became the Gum Lagoon Conservation Park in 1972 upon the proclamation of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. It gradually expanded in area through subsequent ad hoc and opportunistic land acquisitions.[4]
The conservation park is located on land in the gazetted localities of Laffer, Petherick and Tilley Swamp.[5]
It contains ranges of calcarenite dunes and interdunal flats, with slow-moving surface water drainage systems and blocks of remnant vegetation. The vegetation includes tea-tree scrub, wet heathland and mallee woodland. The main feature of the conservation park is the Duck Island Watercourse which runs along a wide interdunal flat studded with ephemeral swamps and isolated sandhills.[4] The average annual rainfall is 500 mm.[6]
The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[1]
Flora and fauna[edit]
The conservation park's vegetation includes Banksia ornata shrubland, Melaleuca brevifolia low shrubland, Eucalyptus arenacea open woodland and Eucalyptus diversifolia open mallee, while the wetter areas are characterised by red gum woodland and aquatic herblands.[4]
Eleven floristic communities have been identified, containing 375 indigenous plants, including four which are nationally threatened or rare. Native animal species include 12 mammals, 19 reptiles, five amphibians and 141 birds. Also recorded are 62 exotic plants, eight feral mammals and five introduced birds.[6]
The conservation park has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area, principally because it supports an apparently sustainable population of the vulnerable malleefowl, with an estimated population of 13–14 nesting mounds. The biome-restricted purple-gaped honeyeater has also been recorded.[6]

The City promotes and encourages Low Impact Development (LID) or Best Management Practices (BMPs) in the design and construction of stormwater management systems both for new development and in municipal infrastructure projects. LID practices incorporate "green infrastructure" such as infiltration basins, green roofs, bioretention swales, engineered wetlands, and rain gardens to support the functions of traditional "grey infrastructure" such as storm sewer pipes and outfalls.
In stormwater management, LID systems generally increase infiltration of rainwater runoff to minimize the overland flow volumes, recharge groundwater systems, and improve the water quality before it reaches a SWM facility or open watercourse. Implementation of LIDs are evaluated on a case-by-case basis since the selected practice will depend on geotechnical and other site specific conditions. As of 2016 the City has been incorporating LIDs into design and construction projects which will increase in future to optimize the water resources system as well as to increase the resiliency of infrastructure to climate change.
To learn more about leading Stormwater Management LIDs in Ontario, please see the resources of the Credit Valley Conservation Authority or the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Stormwater Management Planning and Design Manual.

by UCLG ASPAC Team –
Way Forward for Local Governments
Asia Pacific Leaders Forum 2017 was held in Jakarta on December 14, 2017. A meeting to inspire each other on the pursuance of transparent, accountable, and responsive government successfully brought a considerable number of distinguished delegates and key representatives within the region. Authorities (local and national level), international organizations, CSOs, private sectors, and media (national and international) gathered together and intensely contributed in the discussion to advance open government practices in the Asia Pacific.
Co‐hosting the Asia Pacific forum, UCLG ASPAC, a local government association in the region, saw a huge involvement of local governments in the sessions. Intense discussions, debates, and knowledge sharing during the event reflected local governments' enthusiasm in reaching closer to the future aspiration. As the event ended, UCLG ASPAC took notes on points of commitment to be used as way forward for local governments to accelerate the implementation of open government:
- Open government requires active participation of not only officials; but also non-government actors such as local communities, CSOs, private sectors, and other related stakeholders to achieve transparent, accountable and responsive government. To be successful, the shift from the existing good government (which typically applies one-‐side initiative) to open government (that involves non-government actors in the development process) requires commitment of leaders and multi-‐level officials to continuously embrace the inclusion principles apart from challenges that emerge resulting from the implementation of the new approach. Challenges that arise may vary, from locals and apparatus that are not (yet) ready to legislative platform that is not (yet) supporting.
- As the open government relies heavily on data, the commitment is also required to continuously embrace and explore the use of ICT. The goal is to ensure that valid data is acquired and thus provides insights. To assist local government apparatus on working efficiently and effectively, the commitment needs to be brought further to create integrated data system.
- Practical step to be taken is to actively involve in peer-‐learning and knowledge exchange activities to identify potencies of smart practices to be replicated in local areas. This approach is particularly useful and practical especially for areas that face similar challenges and in similar environments.
From Commitment to Action
Once a commitment is set by local leaders, the way to the realization of open, accountable, and inclusive development is wide open. While it is a good start to go, local governments still need to make good use of opportunities that lie ahead:
- Capacity Enhancement
Local government needs to continuously invest on capacity building of its apparatus. Skilled personnel are definitely more productive in bringing ideas to the table and thus accelerate the implementation of open government's visions. Joining local government association that focuses on local government capacity building, particularly relating to local development in particular topic could be a solution.
- Open Doors for Collaboration
Given its unique and complex nature, Asia-‐Pacific requires collaboration in managing its development. Local people, private sectors, and CSOs should be seen as an asset that possesses potencies and if well treated will positively contribute to the local development.
- Expand the Network
Inclusive development could be achieved through partnership and collaboration from across development actors in across regions/countries. Networks enable local governments to explore any forms of bilateral or international cooperation to solve the similar issues faced by other regions/cities and hence to improve public service deliveries at a local level. Through networks, the process of knowledge and experience transfer among local governments at national or global level could be facilitated.
Perfect Fit for Asia-‐Pacific
Asia-‐Pacific region covers immense physical expanse. Besides, it also presents a great historical, cultural, and ethnic diversity as well as various stages of political evolution and economic development. It all determines what the region is now and also its inhabitants (their relationship towards each other which later on determines their needs and supplies). As human nature, the complexities will continuously increase; especially in the year 2030, where 60% of the world population is predicted to inhabit urban areas. Local government's role is getting more essential than ever. It will need to meet the expectation of better public services delivery of the vast range of people.
To accommodate the needs of local governments towards the open government concept, we, at UCLG ASPAC, align our regional agenda with UCLG, our global connection, by taking part in the Hangzhou Statement (renewing commitment to foster transparency, accountability and open government, and fight corruption); and translate it further to our regional needs (conducting SDGs trainings, creating concept for city diplomacy, and project implementations).
UCLG ASPAC calls for collaborations of local governments in Asia Pacific to implement the open government concept. Commitment and actions taken today will determine what it will be in the next years.

Americans, Wherever They Are, Can Vote: Here's How
Peter Dahlen
As we enter the final stages of the election season, we want to ensure our members are aware of these key voting tools:
- The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), is a nonpartisan voter assistance and education program established by the Department of Defense to ensure members of the military, their family, and Americans abroad are aware of their right to vote and have the tools and resources to successfully do so - from anywhere.
- Overseas Vote, is an initiative of U.S. Vote Foundation, and also provides nonpartisan voter services for U.S. citizens overseas and uniformed services members.
An estimated 2.6 million voting-eligible American citizens live outside the United States. In the last general election in 2014, only four percent of these Americans exercised their right to vote. To help these citizens vote in the November 8th General Election, the FVAP and Overseas Vote provide absentee voting information which you can use and distribute.
Both of these sites have all the information you need to register to vote, request a ballot, learn your State's deadlines and requirements, and even check the status of your ballot after voting.
In addition, FVAP has created an absentee voting information toolkit (PDF) that your company can download, customize and distribute to eligible employees. Please contact FVAP directly at email@example.com or 1-800-438-VOTE if you are interested in leveraging these resources or have any questions about the upcoming election and how vote absentee.

YOUNGSTOWN, OH – The first USHL hat trick for Eric Esposito helped spark a come-from-behind victory in the final game of the 2017-2018 season as the Youngstown Phantoms (33-20-5-2, 73 points) downed the Muskegon Lumberjacks 5-3 at the Covelli Centre Saturday night.
"It feels great," said Esposito of scoring his first hat trick in the league. "Especially with the timing of it."
Muskegon jumped out to a 1-0 lead just 1:45 in the game. Anthony Del Gaizo fired home a one-timer from the right dot that beat Ivan Prosvetov through the five-hole to put the 'Jacks ahead 1-0. It was Del Gaizo's 40th goal of the year and 72nd point, clinching both the scoring title and goal-scoring title for the forward out of Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Cam Knuble doubled the Muskegon lead at 10:03. Knuble pulled the trigger from below the dot in the left circle. The shot was partially blocked but had enough steam on it to bounce through Prosvetov's five-hole and give Muskegon a 2-0 lead.
Esposito put the Phantoms on the comeback trail starting early in the second period. After a clear by the Phantoms on the penalty kill, Muskegon netminder Zach Borgiel mishandled the puck, turning it over to Esposito to deposit into an empty cage and get Youngstown on the board at 1:10. Esposito tied the game just over a minute later at 2:22, blasting a shot from the left circle past Borgiel to knot the game at 2-2. "(Parrottino) made a nice read, drew the defenseman in, and hit me in some open ice," recalled Esposito. "I just picked a corner where it was open."
Youngstown jumped in front at the 4:00 mark. The rebound of a Mike Regush shot sat loose in the crease and Liam Dennison slipped it past Borgiel and gave the Phantoms their first lead of the game at 3-2. Muskegon tied it just before the end of the period; Vincent de May scored a power play goal at 18:56 to knot things up at 3-3 at the second intermission.
The Phantoms took the lead for good at 12:46 of the third. After Parrottino and Max Ellis couldn't convert on a 2-on-1 rush, the puck bounced to Regush. Regush walked down the slot, deked backhand-to-forehand, and tucked the puck around Borgiel's outstretched left leg for his 19th goal of the year, putting the Phantoms ahead 4-3. Youngstown had to kill a penalty in the waning minutes to preserve the lead, and Esposito scored on the empty net at 19:53 to complete the hat trick and secure the victory.
Youngstown wrapped up the regular season with a 33-20-5-2 record, the sixth time in team history that the Phantoms have topped the 30-win and 70-point plateaus. Matt Barry led the team in scoring with 54 points (17G-37) and Chase Gresock topped the team with 26 goals. Youngstown will have to wait to learn who they will face in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, which can begin as early as next Friday night at the Covelli Centre.

Now Public Protector goes after Gordhan
Publish date: 08 November 2018
Issue Number: 4583
Diary: Legalbrief Today
Category: A Matter of Justice
A complaint against Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan – lodged two years ago by a member of former President Jacob Zuma's team – is being investigated by Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane, who has subpoenaed Gordhan to appear before her next Wednesday, notes Legalbrief. A Business Day report says the investigation relates to the early retirement package offered to former SARS Deputy Commissioner Ivan Pillay in 2010. Gordhan has informed Justice Raymond Zondo, chair of the state capture Commission of Inquiry, about the Public Protector's investigation saying this was part of the 'misuse and abuse of public powers for suspicious objectives'. According to Gordhan's statement, the complaint against him was lodged on 18 November 2016 by Lebogang Hoveka, then a speechwriter in Zuma's office. This was a month after Thuli Madonsela's term as Public Protector ended and Mkhwebane took office. It was also three weeks after former National Director of Public Prosecutions Shaun Abrahams withdrew fraud charges against Gordhan, Pillay and former SARS Commissioner Oupa Magashula regarding the retirement package, observes Business Day. It notes it is not clear why Mkhwebane is set to interview Gordhan only at this point. 'Yes, the Public Protector subpoenaed and is investigating allegations of impropriety against Minister Gordhan. It has been alleged that the Minister approved Mr Pillay's retirement and bought off his pension balance irregularly and later allowed him to be re-employed by SARS,' spokesperson Oupa Segalwe reportedly told the newspaper. Segalwe added he was not at liberty to disclose the identity of the complainant. Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko confirmed that Hoveka was still employed in the Presidency but said he was now attached to the office of the Deputy President.
In his statement to the inquiry, Gordhan expressed concern about intimidation, harassment and racist abuse against those appearing before the Zondo Commission, notes the Business Day report. 'People, including myself, who are appearing before the commission continue to be subjected to harassment and racist abuse in frivolous and vexatious litigation, in the media and on social media,' Gordhan said. Regarding the Public Protector's subpoena, Gordhan said this was the same issue for which he was charged criminally in 2016. NPA spokesperson Luvuo Mfaku said there was no criminal case pending against Gordhan relating to Pillay's retirement package. Gordhan said in his statement he believed the Public Protector's investigation was an abuse of public powers. 'I believe that the fight back is aimed at countering the work done this year by public servants and political office bearers to "recapture" the state and deliver on the constitutional mandate,' he said. He added the commission should consider releasing interim reports or measures that could expose and help put a stop to ongoing malfeasance.

Tag Archives: Jay Gruden
No complaints here.
I got nothing. Not right now.
Is Andy Dalton a bag of suck? Oh sure, you bet; but now's not the time. Have I said that Buster Skrine plays good positionally and my greivance is with his size? Yeah* sure, but who cares… cover your ass posts are boring in general and particularly self-centered if done after such a glorious weekend. Squeeze in just a smidgeon of juxtaposition between Dolan's off-season and Haslam's…? Oh HELL NO!
No, no, no. Not now.
Because it's lovely lovely lovely to have a solid Buckeye win at home over a top team; a Browns domination of a perennial playoff team; and the Indians blowing everyone's mind and getting into the playoffs.
Let's offer some comment on all three.
1. The Buckeyes.
I sure have some solid memories of national spotlight games in Columbus not going according to plan. That wasn't the case Saturday. Braxton Miller looks poised running an offense who just won their line of scrimmage battle all night. On defense, who knew Joel Stave had that game in him? The Badgers were just good enough to provide a lot of coachable moments for Coach Meyer and none to soon with the at Northwestern game coming up. The Bucks look good — but not great — and certainly shouldn't be overconfident going to Evanston.
2. The Browns.
First off, I have to say that watching in a bar is sub-optimal. But my vibe from the game was that it never felt like the Browns weren't dominating.
Err.. I can't not write SOMETHING about Jay Gruden's odd non-use of Gio Bernard and bizarre fixation on five yard under patterns for AJ Green. How a team can have Gresham, Eifert, Green, Sanu matched up against the shortest secondary and not go up top is .. it's a poser, I'll tell ya. If I do the Bengals' blame pie, I'm settling in of equal parts Gruden weak OC, Dalton-bag-o-suck, and Browns defense that good.
Wait a sec, let me kick up the Browns' defense credit from 33% to 50%. Because Joe Haden's performance on AJ Green a COUPLED WITH just the right amount of smack talk was so money. I can't think of a cornerback I'd rather have. Revis? Peterson? Sherman? Nope, I'm good with Haden thanks.
And Hoyer, yes you can be quarterback. You executed the best (only?) screen pass by the Browns in the last 20 years. I actually don't think that's an exaggeration. Hoyer is proof that 'good' QB is meaningless in the face of 'smart' QB or at least 'competent enough to remember he has a tall tight end who can win jump balls' QB. Jordan Cameron… didn't see that one coming either.
3. The Indians.
Like many of you, I lost interest after that Tigers series in August and in particular after that brutal blown
save shutout in the first game. (Cripes, it's painful even to look at that boxscore.) The responsible blogger/journo in me wants to remind you of some stat on how the Tribe does against good teams. But the fan in me won't even google it and says in boldface: NINETY-TWO WINS. 15-2 to close the season. Yessir, good things can happen when try to win now and that's nuf 'ced on that for now too.
Salazar is a revelation. In fact, the rotation looks like a real rotation with Ubaldo-Kazmir-Kluber-Salazar and what's up with Masterson? Is he our closer now? See? I really haven't been paying attention closely enough. The games are on in the background and my ears perk when personal fave Michael Brantley does something awesome.

Starting Lineup:
GK Tim Howard will be making his 24th regular season appearance of 2017 after missing the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas due to international duty. In his first full season with the Rapids, Howard has registered 74 saves and four clean sheets. The 2017 MLS All-Star starting goalkeeper is two starts away from reaching 125 in his MLS career.
DEF Marlon Hairston went the full distance during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas, taking his season tally to 2,432 minutes, best for second on the team (Azira - 2,569). Hairston is just 38 minutes shy of reaching the 5,000-mark in his MLS career. The 23-year-old will be making his 33rd appearance and 28th start of the year.
DEF Kortne Ford's first professional start at Dick's Sporting Goods Park came during the 2-1 loss against Real Salt Lake on April 15. Ford has now gone the distance in the last seven consecutive matches, and eight of the last nine. In his first season in MLS, Ford has made 18 appearances, with all but one coming from the start.
DEF Axel Sjöberg played all 90 minutes of the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. Along the backline, Sjöberg ranks first in shots (11) and passing accuracy (82.6%). The former Rapids' 2015 first round pick has started every single game (62) he's appeared in for the club, going the distance in all but three.
DEF Eric Miller made his 75th start in MLS during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. Miller is currently 64 minutes from reaching 2,500 minutes in a season for the first time in his career. This year, Miller has made 28 appearances and starts, including both previous meetings against Real Salt Lake.
MID Nana Boateng will be making consecutive starts for the third time this year and first since the club's two home matches in July. Boateng's only assist of the season came in the 2-1 loss against Real Salt Lake on April 15. The Ghanaian midfielder had to be replaced in the 32nd minute due to a back injury that kept him sidelined the following 10 games.
MID Mohammed Saeid made his 80th appearance and 70th start in MLS during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. Saeid's first game for the Rapids came during the 2-1 loss against Real Sale Lake, replacing Boateng in the first half. This year, Saeid has played in 27 games (25 starts) for the Rapids after appearing in the first three games of the season for Minnesota United FC.
MID Joshua Gatt registered his third assist of the season during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. After arriving via trade from Minnesota United FC on March 31, Gatt has appeared in 18 games (10 starts) for the Rapids. His first and only goal thus far in MLS came in the 4-1 loss at Real Sale Lake on August 26.
MID Stefan Aigner scored his second goal of the season during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. After coming off the bench in his first four games for the club, Aigner has now started the last three. The German attacker traveled with the team to Salt Lake in August but did not make the gameday roster as he was still gaining match fitness.
MID Dominique Badji will start on the wing for the second game in a row and second against Real Salt Lake this season. In his third campaign with the club, Badji leads the team in goals (9), assists (6), shots (54), and shots on goal (28). This will be his 32nd appearance and 28th start of the season.
FWD Alan Gordon had two shots on goal in 71 minutes during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas last week. The 36-year-old forward will be making his 25th appearance of the season, best for third in his career (29 in 2015 and 26 in 2008 with LA). Gordon is now 77 minutes shy of reaching 13,000 in his career.
On the Bench:
GK Zac MacMath's six saves during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas tied his career-high set on June 28, 2014 while with the Philadelphia Union. Since arriving in Colorado prior to the 2015 campaign, MacMath has appeared in 29 games, posting a 12-10-7 record along the way.
DEF Mike da Fonte replaced Gordon in the 71st minute of the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. Da Fonte has yet to feature against Real Salt Lake after sitting out the first two meetings of the season. In his first campaign in MLS, da Fonte has played in 15 games, with 13 of those coming from the start.
DEF Bobby Burling remained on the bench for the second consecutive game. The 33-year-old centerback has only appeared in one of the last 20 regular season matches. In 11 campaigns in Major League Soccer, Burling has played in 167 games (151 starts) for Chivas USA, San Jose Earthquakes and the Rapids.
MID Luis Gil was an unused sub during the 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. This season, Gil has played in both contests against his former club. The 23-year-old was subbed on in the 72nd minute of Orlando City's 1-0 win on June 30, before playing the first 68 minutes of the Rapids' 4-1 loss on August 26.
MID Ricardo Perez will be available for selection for the second game in a row, and first since the 3-1 win over Houston Dynamo on July 1. Perez remains the only Rapids field player that has yet to feature in a regular season game this year. The Homegrown player played all 90 minutes in both of Colorado's U.S. Open Cup matches.
MID Dillon Serna has yet to feature against Real Salt Lake this season after being an unused sub in the first two meetings of the year. In five MLS seasons, the Rapids Homegrown player has eight goals and six assists in 69 appearances (37 starts).

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has accredited the Padayon Pilipino's party-list arm called Ako Padayon Pilipino.
In a seven-page resolution, the poll body granted the registration and accreditation of Ako Padayon Pilipino as a sectoral party under the party-list system.
Jun Pacamalan, national political consultant of the Philippine Rural Electric Cooperatives Association Inc. (Philreca), said Ako Padayon Pilipino aims to represent electric consumers and ensure their rights and welfare are protected.
The mover of Ako Padayon Pilipino are electric cooperatives in Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga. At present, it has around 150,000 member consumers from the different electric cooperatives.
Pacamalan said the group wants to amend the anti-consumer and anti-people provisions of the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (Epira) once they get a slot in the House of Representatives.
"Gusto nato ma-ensure nga ang mga electric cooperatives nga sila ang nanag-iya dili ma-take over sa mga Oligarchs," Pacamalan said.
"Sa una, dili pa interesado ang mga private corporations kay lagyo ug dili moginansya. Karon nga nadumala na pag-ayo ang mga rural electric coop unya daghan na consumer, gusto na dayon i-take over sa mga private corporation," he added.
Pacamalan also said the party-list representatives would also fight in Congress all moves that seek to raise prices of electricity and the likes.
Pacamalan said Governor Yevgeny Emano, vice chairman of Padayon Pilipino Party, has vowed to support the advocacy of the leaders of various electric cooperatives, thus the birth of the Ako Padayon Pilipino party-list.
Among their advocacies are reliable supply and reasonable price of electricity.
"The leaders of electric coops had a very good discussion with Governor Bambi last year. They need allies in local government nga molaban sa interest sa rural electric coop mao tong nag-commit si Governor Bambi nga motabang sa ilang advocacy," Pacamalan said.

Transporting larger groups of people from one spot to another can be tough. Fortunately, you'll find that there are services specifically catered towards this need.
Hire your coach from a reliable provider
The good news is that there are several excellent coaches for hire in Sydney, so you actually have many points of comparison. Ideally, your provider should have a good reputation in the area so that you can be sure that there's a solid fallback in case of problems.
Look for a provider that can give you several choices for a coach and can offer on-site troubleshooting should you encounter problems.
Keep size and compartments in mind
How many people would be using the coach and what kind of space does it provide? Ideally, there should be lots of room for people to move — especially if it's going to be a long drive. If the trip is going to take more than half a day, one should be able to recline the seats for comfort. For long trips, it is usually better to hire a bigger coach.
Think of the driver qualifications
Of course, don't forget to check with the driver. Ask if the company's drivers are used to long road trips and how long they've been driving with various clients. Coaches are not like small cars — they require more concentration and expertise on the part of the driver. If it's a long drive, ask if the driver has someone to swap with if he gets tired.
Ask about insurance coverage
The company offering the coach service should have insurance to guarantee that you'll have a fallback in the event of problems. While no one wants to think about the worst case scenario, it is often best to prepare for one. It also goes without saying that the company should have all the necessary permits and licences.
Want to guarantee smooth transport? Follow the tips above when hiring a coach.
