Abia APC Guber Candidate Backs Indirect Primaries
A frontline All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Abia State, Chief Ikechi Emenike, has announced his intention to turn Abia into a first class state in Nigeria, if given the opportunity to actualise his dream by the people. This is even as the gubernatorial aspirant insisted on indirect primaries for the selection of the party's candidates in the state.
While speaking to the press in Abuja after submitting his expression of interest and nomination forms at the APC Secretariat, he said his vision for Abia, which is anchored on an unshakable belief and trust in God, was for the building of a state where the provision of critical infrastructure and welfare of the people will take centre stage.
Chief Emenike who described the APC as a strong and formidable platform on which to pursue his aspiration, said the fear of the party was the reason for the opposition's resort to electoral manipulations but was confident that the people will resist any attempt to subvert their will in 2019.
Responding to a question on his party's contentious mode of primary elections, he expressed preference for Indirect Primaries as the best way to go in the absence of a comprehensive and credible membership register.
He however pointed out that as a loyal party man, he would, of course be guided by the decision of the stakeholders on the matter.
After the brief but colourful ceremony featuring the submission of the completed forms to the APC Director of Organisation, Alhaji Abubakar Kari, Chief Emenike came downstairs to a tumultuous reception by supporters and admirers from Abia and other parts of the country.

While it's known for geothermal spas and striking scenery, Iceland's reputation as a foodie destination is on the up as Dill Restaurant in Reykjavik recently received the country's first Michelin star, and five more restaurants were added to the Scandinavian Michelin Guide for 2017.
This is the SUITCASE guide to the best restaurants in Iceland.
Prir Frakkar
This cosy restaurant is as honest as they get. An old-fashioned bar and simple dining setting is little to giveaway the food on offer – unlike the crowds of locals who flock here. The menu is full of Icelandic fare such as puffin and fermented shark (an acquired taste) in their most classic get up, as well as more modern sashimi-style iterations. Other options such as monkfish will please the less adventurous, but don't miss the skyr brûlée for pudding – gloriously indulgent but surprisingly light, it's the perfect ending to a proper Icelandic meal.

While we take TripAdvisor reviews with a pinch of salt, Matarkjallarinn (meaning "food cellar") takes the number one spot in Iceland and we're inclined to agree. The live piano may feel a bit La La Land (the pianist actually played from the Oscar-winning film's soundtrack while we dined) but combined with the setting in a 160-year-old building in the city centre, it sets the scene for a truly memorable dining experience. Go all out and opt for the chef's choice menu, a six-course journey through the restaurant's best dishes based on local ingredients, washed down with some killer cocktails. Visit at the weekend when the bar takes on more of a moody, lounge feel.

This turquoise, family-run restaurant is perched on the edge of the harbour away from the main hustle of the city and is a must-visit while in Reyjavik. Ask to sit near the window upstairs so you can watch the happenings of the port below while tucking into the restaurant's modern take on classic Icelandic dishes. Order the four-course set menu which features the likes of cured reindeer fillet followed by Icelandic lamb (gamier tasting than usual thanks to the animal's diet of berries and wild grasses), rounded off by a chocolate lava cake with liquorice ice cream – an updated take on a classic which will delight aniseed lovers.

As the holder of the island's first ever Michelin star, we don't need to tell you that Dill is worth a trip – if you can bag a table, that is (the waiting list currently stands at four months long). Under chef Ragnar Eiriksson, Dill is committed to preserving and furthering traditional Icelandic cuisine, channelling contemporary-cool vibes with low-hung lighting, gun-metal greys and mismatched wood reflecting equally artfully put-together plates. In short, it's what Instagram dreams are made of – so beg, steal and borrow for a seat.

This chef-owned "it" restaurant prides itself on a close relationship with local farmers in-keeping with a focus on seasonality and sustainability. Dishes are cooked on log fires and coal, with much-lauded chefs Hrefna Rósa Sætran and Guðlaugur Frímannsson sending out plate after plate of perfectly crisp, smoky fare. We recommend visiting for a special occasion and going for either the tasting menu or the "trip to the countryside" to experience as much of Iceland's best bits as possible in one sitting.

This chic, family-owned bakery first opened in 1920 and is now run by its fifth generation of master bakers, headed up by Asgeir Sandholt, who has won a number of awards with The Icelandic National Team of Chefs. It's the perfect place for a pitstop in a day of exploring, so hole yourself up in a corner and take cosy a break over artisan cinnamon buns and some strong coffee.

Matur og Drykkur
Matur og Drykkur is a new entry into the Nordic Michelin Guide 2017 (alongside Grillio, Gallery and VOX), named after a famous Icelandic cookbook which forms the basis for many of its dishes. In the name of modernity, they spruce up these classic recipes while still staying true to traditional preparation methods. Chef and part-owner Gisli Matthias Auounsson wants to make Icelanders proud of their native cuisine and certainly does so with this simple but highly praised restaurant.

Smakk Barinn has all of the hallmarks of a traditional tapas bar – tightly packed high tables, a long wooden bar and all a bit hectic. It's also a nod towards the hipster side of the city, serving all of it's dishes in petite jars from shark and Icelandic meat soup to langoustines in Reyka Vodka batter. With a regularly changing menu, it's a great spot to kick back and experience a young, buzzy Reykjavik.
Salka Valka
Iceland is not a cheap destination, but that doesn't mean you can't eat on a budget. Salka Valka ("fish and more") is a simple eatery channelling East London vibes thanks to cactuses, succulents and hanging lightbulbs, while the food is more home-style cooking. The menu features only two main courses (alongside more casual sandwiches and breakfast plates); go for the plokkfiskur, a fish dish which is an authentic slice of what locals would cook for themselves.

When driving the famous Golden Circle route be sure to stop off at Fridheimar, a geothermal energy-run tomato farm with an on-site restaurant, where you dine in the same greenhouses that the tomato-based menu is borne from. While tomato soup at home may not be considered a luxury, this farm's version certainly is. Sweet, smooth and served with a dollop of sour cream, it blows Heinz out of the water. Toast to a stellar day of sight seeing with one of their famous bloody Mary's – surely some of the best in the world.

Café Loki
This café's location next to the quirky Hallgrimskirkja church makes it the perfect breakfast spot before a day of exploring the capital. Fill up on homemade Icelandic rye bread and Skyr-filled crepes among friendly locals – and you won't be left wincing at the bill.

Tommi's Burger Joint restaurants in London are actually from Iceland, first popping up back in 1981. Credited with bringing hamburgers to the country, owner Tommi Tomasson's Reykjavik restaurant is endearingly haphazard and dolls out some of the tastiest patties in town.

Silfra Restaurant
Take off from Reykjavik and into the wild to discover the Silfra restaurant in the architectural delight that is the ION Adventure Hotel. The building originally housed the employees of Nesjavellir power station and sits within the Golden Circle. While the hotel restaurant serves some of the finest Nordic cuisine in the region, it's the Northern Lights Bar that you visit for. As the name suggests, it's the perfect place to plonk yourself with a drink and wait for the best light show on earth to commence.

Information from a poll by the Ethics Resource Center has revealed that levels of business ethics are nearing pre-Enron levels.
Another poll by Junior Achievement and Deloitte reports that 41 percent of U.S. teens think that unethical behavior is necessary to advance while only 22 percent of teens held that point of view in 2005.
HR POINTER: When all the Annual Reports have been handed out and the speeches about the company are finished, the factor that drives the culture and subsequently ethical behavior of a firm is the personal example set by each member of senior management.
If executives verbally "trash" customers, employees will feel that they have implied permission to do the same about clients and even other employees.
If the leaders "pad" client invoices, employees will feel that they have tacit approval to "pad" other things including expense reports.
Despite what is said or what is put in writing, it is personal examples that everyone follows. Set a good one!

The presidential prelims are essentially over. Now as the general election begins, it is time to define the stakes. What is this election about?
We know what John McCain thinks. He thinks it is about "winning" in Iraq, which he describes as sustaining our course there until at least 2013, and then keeping bases there for decades. This is McCain's passion, his purpose. The rest is, at best, a distraction.
What does Barack Obama think? We know he thinks the election is about change. He's spent much of the last few weeks arguing with McCain about Iraq. But for Obama, Iraq is an obstacle, not an obsession.
Now it is time for Obama to lay out the stakes, to describe what he will carry in the wagon that he wants Americans to push. That begins not in Baghdad but at home.
The first priority must be to rebuild an economy that works for working people. Stop squandering resources in Iraq and start rebuilding America. Invest in conservation and renewable energy and end our dependence on foreign oil. Create a new strategy in the global economy that works for Main Street, not Wall Street. Empower workers and hold corporations and the shadow banking system accountable. Crack down on predatory lending, on usurious interest rates, on hidden mortgage and credit card charges. If we don't get the economy working and ensure that prosperity is widely shared, our security will continue to erode.
Second, we've got to build a basic foundation for middle-class families, so they can navigate the increasing risks and upheavals of the new economy. That begins with affordable, high-quality health care for all. Obama's health-care plan is a good start. Then we need guaranteed paid sick days, minimal paid vacations and enforcement of labor standards, including the 40-hour week.
Third, we must invest in people and in equal opportunity from the start. The first priority is to provide every child with a world-class public education: pre-kindergarten, small classes in early grades, skilled teachers, organized after-school activities and the guarantee that they will be able to afford the advanced education or training they earn. America has built its prosperity by having the best-educated workers in the world. Now we must invest in its future by extending that promise to every child.
Fourth, we need to make America safe. We lose more people to guns at home than in Iraq. It's time to ban assault weapons and track down those who are selling guns wholesale to gangs and criminals. We need to stop the cuts that are about to take place that would reduce police, firefighters and teachers in states across the country. And then we need to challenge the harsh discrimination of our criminal justice system -- the disparities in arrest, school discipline, juvenile sentencing, drug sentencing and the like that have created a prison-industrial complex, wasting billions warehousing nonviolent offenders, while destroying the lives of much of a generation of young African-American and Latino men.
Fifth, we need to revive idealism and hope. Summon young Americans to national service; they will respond. Abroad, we need food-boat diplomacy, not gunboat diplomacy, helping nations now wracked by food riots and stalked by silent hunger. We will win more converts in the struggle against terrorism with wise compassion than with smart bombs.
This list could go on. It is time to define the stakes. This election isn't really about Iraq. It is about America. Our overriding challenge is to make America strong again from the inside out. McCain wants to rebuild Iraq; Obama should make it clear his priority is to rebuild America.

At the start of 2018, the outlook for emerging markets seemed extremely positive. A strong global growth environment and continued risk appetite from investors was good news for these economies.
This was also encouraging for South Africa. It seemed that the country's change in political leadership and the potential for improved business and consumer confidence could see it benefit from the continued appetite for emerging markets.
However, when president Donald Trump announced at the start of March that the US would be imposing tariffs on steel and aluminium imports, this picture began to change. When Trump added to these earlier this month with his announcement that the US would be placing a 25% tariff on $50 billion of Chinese goods, things grew even gloomier.
From what had been a positive global backdrop, the environment was suddenly far less supportive. Uncertainty about where the US stance would lead and the potential for a trade war made investors far less keen to take on risk, and therefore much less bullish on emerging markets.
Read: US trade attack sparks emerging market sell-off
Speaking at the CoreShares 'Think Index Investing' Convention last week, Mike Schüssler, the founder of economists.co.za, said that South Africa can't ignore these impacts, even if it's still unclear just how far the US will go.
The unpredictable Trump
"A lot of people think it won't lead to a full trade war," said Schüssler. "What we have at the moment is a skirmish. The $50 billion of trade that they have put tariffs on already is a very small amount in the global picture."
Even though China and the EU are imposing retaliatory tariffs, these are significantly smaller than those the US has already approved. In an announcement on Friday, the two imposed tariffs on $3.3 billion of American products.
The unpredictable factor, however, is Trump. It is extremely difficult to judge what he will do. As he has shown with his approach to North Korea, highly antagonistic rhetoric can very quickly lead to conciliation.
"We cannot read people's minds," said Schüssler. "We don't know how far Trump is willing to take this. At the moment it looks like a lot of noise and warning shots."
Gina Schoeman, South Africa economist for the Citibank Global Economics team, agreed.
"It's impossible to know how this all ends up," she said. "We don't know who is going to do what over the long run."
It may be that Trump's threats of much greater tariffs is simply his way of forcing other countries to compromise, however one can't discount that they could be genuine intentions. If they are the latter, then there really will be trouble.
"If this escalates to tariffs on $200 billion worth of trade from the US side, then it becomes a real issue," Schüssler said. "Then the retaliation is going be so much bigger from everyone else, and that will be a problem."
The impact on growth
Already it seems that the uncertainty is impacting global trade. Judged by the world container index, trade is still growing, but it has slowed from 4% to 1%.
"I think there are some nerves there, so the economic growth that everyone expected this year might be slightly lower," said Schüssler. "Instead of the world growing at 3.7% or 3.8%, it might be 3.5%. And if things escalate from here, growth could slow meaningfully."
As the effects take a long time to work through, it would also have a significant impact on global growth for next year.
This is not good news for South Africa, which is trying to work itself out of years of poor economic performance. A strong global growth environment would be supportive, but weakness in the global economy would make it even more difficult for the country to accelerate its fortunes.
South Africa is also highly dependent on foreign investment inflows. However the uncertainty being created in the global environment has already shifted investor perceptions, with risk appetites diminishing significantly and emerging markets falling out of favour.
This is bad news for a country that relies on portfolio inflows to balance its current account deficit. The rapid weakening of the rand since the middle of May from R12.25 to the dollar to around R13.50 to the dollar is an indication of this.
"If you're an open economy like South Africa, you are extremely vulnerable," Schoeman explained. "We massively rely on risk."
A falling rand also inevitably leads to higher inflation. This too is negative for the local economy.
Around 60% of South Africa's GDP is consumer spending, and rising prices depress consumer activity. If inflation climbs higher, that therefore takes away from GDP growth.
The implications for South Africa are therefore likely to be largely negative. There is however one potential silver lining.
"Maybe we could benefit in the long run if we took exports away from other countries," said Schoeman. "But we would have to prove ourselves."

H/T to Joseito!
Letter to the Editor at the Miami Herald:
In March 2007 I resigned as Special Assistant to President Bush. I did so a week before press reports disclosed that I had been involved in the theft of funds while employed at the Center for a Free Cuba. After months of cooperating, first with the Center, and then with the federal government, I pleaded guilty to one count of theft concerning programs receiving federal funds. For months now, rumors have circulated regarding the nature of the theft. I would like to clear things up.
While I worked at the Center, my assignment was to procure shortwave radios and other equipment to be shipped to Cuba in support of USAID's programs to strengthen civil society on the island. Without the knowledge of the Center's staff or its directors, I bought bulk shipments of radios from the cheapest vendor through two companies that I created and controlled. I then resold the equipment to the Center at a higher price than I paid for it, making my self a de facto middle man and keeping the profits, which I used for personal expenditures.
Though the Center always received the radios and other equipment it ordered at a price and quality equal to previous purchases, it was my obligation to get the best price I could for the equipment and pass it along to the center without making any personal profit.
I breached that duty, violated the trust of an old friend, damaged the reputation and operation of the Center and humiliated my family. My family has been subjected to criticism, speculation and investigation. Furthermore, I violated my own standards of integrity and the sense of honor that my family instilled in me. I committed this betrayal for selfish reasons.
Granma, the Cuban government's daily newspaper, alleged that this theft was a part of a conspiracy orchestrated by Frank Calzon, executive director of the Center, Adolfo Franco, former assistant administrator at USAID, and other USAID officials. Granma also alleged that the funds were used for domestic propaganda, political campaigns and other schemes. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Calzon is an honest Cuban patriot who has dedicated his life to the cause of freedom in Cuba. He was nothing more than a victim of my actions. I regret that they have destroyed our friendship and damaged the organization he worked so diligently to establish. Furthermore, Franco and all officials from USAID with whom I dealt while at the Center and the White House were professionals who worked tirelessly to promote democracy abroad.
I have repaid all the profit I made, with interest, to the Center and I accept full responsibility for my actions. I would like to say that I have made full restitution, but that is not the case. The Center has suffered suspension of its contracts and decreases in funding that I hope will be restored but that I cannot remedy. No matter how many times I say I am sorry, it would not be enough; not enough to restore the honor lost by my family, the Center's reputation and that of its directors, the trust of former colleagues and the delay in freedom for the people of Cuba.
Nevertheless, I regret my actions and am sorry.
FELIPE E. SIXTO, Miami

What goes on when the cost failures? " sofar, several POS devices presents free conversion of fiat, relieving some worry, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, many people will be resistant to put up any. We must find a way to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to operate or to cease operation. The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the various nodes of the network is currently the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the right place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these companies determine how it works, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is happening to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current built-in problems to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.

Since one of the oldest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it really is a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you are demanded fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. It is possible to visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical outlook for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a reasonable investment strategy. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation is not to suggest that markets usually are not exposed to price exploitation, yet there is certainly no requirement for substantial sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on the planet market can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more immune to wild inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be realized by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it isn't a good idea because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally. When searching online forSell Ethereum Classic Dublin, there are many things to consider.
Sell Ethereum Classic Dublin – The Affluence Network: Your Digital Needs Done Right….
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Sell Ethereum Classic Dublin. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater potential for solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, based on the number of "shares" won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable flow of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to totally block the benefit. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might perhaps be exchanged as being a commodity. Promoters of cryptocurrencies say this form of online cash isn't controlled by a main bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a restricted amount of goods, this cashis value is based on market forces, enabling homeowners to deal over cryptocurrency deals. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers argue that there's "real" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some type of benefit in order to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be among the appealing aspects of the coin. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason behind this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible that the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the process where it's transacted. All purchases on the crypto currency blockchain are permanent. When youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything shortterm wherever your web visitors may challenge or demand a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. Used, most dealers would be a good idea to make use of a cost processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto currency purchases, you have to ensure that protection is difficult. With any type of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your personal keys and therefore grab your money. Sadly, you most likely can never get it back. It's vitally important for you yourself to follow some very good safe and secure methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. Doing so may protect you from all of these adverse events. If you are looking for Sell Ethereum Classic Dublin, look no further than TAN.

PFAS concerns rejected
A Federation University professor says there is no evidence to suggest exposure to PFAS located at Hazelwood Power Station and cooling pond would lead to long-term health problems.
Earlier this week a Fairfax Media investigation revealed 16 sites across the state where elevated levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals – known as PFAS – had been detected.
Sites in Gippsland included CFA Fulham, the RAAF base at East Sale, Esso Longford and Hazelwood pondage, which was closed earlier in the month due to structural concerns with the dam's walls.
According to the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee, PFAS is a group of manufactured chemicals used since the 1950s in a range of common household products, some industrial processes and in some types of firefighting foam.
Site owner ENGIE has maintained the pondage was not closed due to PFAS concentrations located at the site and said there was no risk to the community following tests which detected low levels of PFAS at the site.
Federation University Carbon Technology Research Centre associate Professor Vince Verheyen said while the "absolute value" of contamination was unknown, there was no "conclusive or consistent evidence" to show exposure led to health problems.
In a statement, ENGIE said concentrations found in the station and cooling pond were below human health guidance values and there was no risk to the community from "normal activities" around the station or pond.
"We don't know the absolute values but it's good news as they are measured at below very conservative guidelines," associate professor Verheyen told The Express.
"The test methods are extremely sensitive and can detect sub-parts per trillion of these chemicals. There is no conclusive or consistent evidence that exposure to PFAS – let alone at these levels – leads to long term health problems.
"This is an active research topic around the world. Much is being done to work out how to immobilise and eliminate them as well as how they affect humans."
ENGIE said concentrations of PFAS found in soil on the power station site were below soil criteria guidelines for industrial land uses, while concentrations in the cooling pond were reported below drinking water and recreational water guideline values.
Associate professor Verheyen said while the chemicals had been banned or heavily restricted due to their toxicity, the chance of exposure was unlikely.
"You are more likely to get exposed to PFAS from inside your home and car than from any local industry source," he said.
"Here in the Valley the organic structure of brown coal may actually be very good at immobilising PFAS due to its high moisture, surface area and porosity."
Monash University School of Chemistry Emeritus Professor Glen Deacon said information provided by station owner ENGIE indicated there should be no risk to health.
"One is taking their [statement] at face value and there's no reason not to, normally one would have to accept these criteria and assume that the information provided is accurate," Emeritus Professor Deacon said.
"If it is below the permitted level I would've said that's the end of the story unless you want to challenge the view that any level of anything that demonstrates some of level toxicity is harmful."

It may be repetitive, but let us say it again, our mission at the ARCC is to help local companies succeed, grow, and thrive. Recently we received an email from ARCC member and local independent book store, Red Fox Books, that seemed tailor made to suit our mission. It is with local pride that we post these tips from Red Fox.
Spend it here, keep it here!
Here's what you do when you shop at an locally-owned business:
1. Keep dollars in our economy:
For every $100 dollars you spend at one of our local businesses, $68.00 will stay in the community. What happens when you spend it at a chain? $57.00 of that hundred will go to corporate headquarters instead.
2. Embrace what makes us unique
You wouldn't want your house to look like everyone else's in the US . So why would you want your community to look that way?
3. Create local jobs
Local businesses are better at creating higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
4. Help the environment
Buying from a local business conserves energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation, less packaging, and products that you know are safe and well made because we stand behind them.
5. Nurture community
We know you, you know us. Studies have shown that local businesses donate to community causes at more than twice the rate of chains. Who would you rather ask?
6. Conserve your tax dollars
Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money available to beautify our community. Also, spending locally instead of online makes
sure your sales taxes are reinvested where they belong. Right here!
7. Create more choices
We pick the stuff we sell based on what we know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because we can buy for our individual market.
8. Take advantage of our expertise
You are our neighbors, and we have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. We're passionate about what we do. Why not take advantage of it?
9. Invest in entrepreneurship
Creativity and entrepreneurship are what the American economy is
founded upon. Nurturing local business ensures a strong community.
10. Make us a destination
The more interesting and unique we are as a community, the more we will attract new neighbors, visitors, and guests. This benefits everyone.

Many people regularly visit the doctor to take care of their health. Unless vision problems are apparent, people can go for years without realizing they need an eye exam. The American Optometric Association recommends that every person has an eye exam at least every two years, if not more often. These exams ensure that your health is in check and that you are not developing any eye diseases, as some diseases don't have pain or symptoms until their later stages. An eye exam includes a number of tests and procedures to examine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. Find out why they are so important and how you can benefit from an eye exam today!
Some of the most common vision problems have to do with refractive errors of the eyes. These refractive errors include nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Nearsightedness is the most common refractive error and affects around 42% of people, as reported by the National Eye Institute. Objects up close are clear, while objects farther away are blurry. It is also known as "myopia" and is when light from an object forms an image before it reaches the retina, where images are processed in the eye.
Farsightedness is the exact opposite condition and is when objects farther away are clear and objects up close appear blurry. It also goes by the name of "presbyopia" and becomes more common after age 40 and especially after age 60 in many people. Farsightedness is when light forms an image behind the retina instead of before it in the eye, making close objects blurry. Astigmatism is another refractive error that causes blurry vision because there are two points of focus in the eye instead of one. Generally, the eyeball is more of a rugby shape instead of round, which causes this blurred vision. All of these eye problems can be detected during an eye exam and all are treatable with glasses, contact lenses or LASIK eye surgery.
The American Optometric Association recommends that patients see their eye doctor at least every 2 years for an eye exam. Between birth and 24 months, an infant should see the eye doctor around 6 months. They should also receive an eye exam around age 3 and before first grade. After this time, we would love to see each patient every 2 years so that their eyes stay healthy. Those who have vision problems or are at-risk for vision problems should receive an exam every year. We test your eyes for refractive errors, signs of disease, swelling or other abnormal symptoms. We can also do specialized tests, such as for colorblindness.
Depending on the reason for your visit, your comprehensive exam may include the use of dilating drops. These medicated drops enlarge your pupil so your doctor can get a better view of the internal structures in the back of your eye. We put the drops in your eyes and wait up to 20 minutes for the medicine to take effect. We dilate your eyes so that they open more for us to see inside your eye. You will be more sensitive to light because more light is getting into your eye. However, you benefit from this dilation because we can see all the structures inside your eye, allowing us to detect signs of disease.
There are over 100 different ways we can test your eyes depending on your unique needs and symptoms you have. We most commonly see refractive errors of the eyes in our office, but we also deal with many eye emergencies and diseases as well. Some of our tests and equipment include:
Every patient should see their eye doctor for an eye exam at least every 2 years. Patients with refractive errors or other eye health condition should see their eye doctor every year. An eye exam can catch diseases before they become severe and can help you keep your eyes healthy so you can enjoy your vision all your life. To schedule your eye exam, call Peepers Optical today at (303) 333-2800!

BOY a film featuring "The Pringle" London's Velopark Cycling Velodrome
London Velopark comprises a new cycling velodrome and BMX park. The velodrome has become known as "The Pringle" because of it's distinctive shape and was first used in competition for the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics in February 2012. Yet first to test out the track was actor Timothy Spall, starring in a film titled "Boy", written by Prasanna Puwanarajah.
This creative view of the London Velopark velodrome takes us on a journey about cycling, featuring the new venue from a very different perspective.
Actor Richard E. Grant was on the panel of judges for the BA Great Britons programme and also mentored Puwanarajah on the film project. Puwanarajah was chosen for the project for his original and moving script. Grant said "Prasanna is a gifted writer who has combined his passion for sport and drama in this moving and celebratory script......It's a story everyone can relate to, taking you on a miniature journey with it."
The London Velopark velodrome is located in Leyton east London. Construction began in 2009 and was overseen by Hopkins Architects, Expedition Engineering, BDSP, and Grant Associates. Designed by Ron Webb the 250-metre track was made with 56 km of Siberian Pine and 350,000 nails. Webb also designed the Sydney and Athens velodromes. Estimated cost is £105 million. When the track was completed in February 2011 it was intended to be a permanent sports venue.
The value of velodromes in the bygone era of American six day racing of the 1920's and 30's was different, then tracks were erected in record time. In just a few days crack teams of carpenters would build velodromes in regional centres, intended for one time use only. A race meeting would be held then the next day the track would be cut up and sold for firewood.

24 Jan Stress-free(ish) Holiday Season
Balanced blood sugar is the driving force behind optimal energy levels, mood and mental clarity. For new moms with a million "new" things to tend to (paired with a few hours of interrupted sleep) keeping your blood sugar balanced is probably the LAST thing on your mind. Instead, you may find yourself skipping meals and relying on quick fuel (think: processed food) because you're too busy to cook or too overwhelmed to sit down for a proper meal. And when you're skipping – or at least skimping – on food, your brain goes into survival mode. You may begin to feel heightened anxiety, question your abilities as a mother (you can do this!), and you're more likely to reach for the carbs, sugar or just about anything in sight.
Glucose is the body's main source of energy, and it comes from food. The presence of glucose in the blood stimulates your pancreas to produce the hormone insulin, which enables your body to use glucose for energy. Low blood sugar can happen when you skip a meal or go too long without eating. It causes your body to release the hormone epinephrine, which is responsible for some of those survival warning signs: hunger and shakiness. Low blood sugar levels also start to affect your central nervous system – you may feel anxious, irritable or develop a headache after going too long without eating.
Sound familiar? Avoiding the blood sugar crash is important all the time, but especially in those early weeks after giving birth. You're more likely during this time to not eat properly or to not make nutritious, balanced foods a priority. If you're breastfeeding the risk is even higher as breastfeeding uses extra calories and glucose. So how to avoid the bottom of the blood sugar barrel? Here are our top 3 tips:
1. Eat a quality breakfast
The best way to keep your blood sugar balanced is eating within an hour of waking up. But what if you're up, like, every 2 hours? See tip #3. Aim for a high-quality protein, like eggs or Greek yogurt, paired with high quality fats (avocado, nut butter). Plain oats for oatmeal is great, too, topped with some nuts and berries. If you're having coffee, be sure to drink it while you're eating, not before or instead of breakfast. And keep the added table sugar to a minimum; you may actually be craving the sugar in your coffee and not the caffeine.
2. Plan meals/snacks ahead of time
Having meals and snacks portioned and pre-prepared is optimal to eating healthily postpartum. Take a trip (or two or three) to the grocery store and stock up before the baby arrives. Vegetable or meat patties, soups and chili, casseroles and stews are all freezer-friendly meals that can be cooked, portioned out into Tupperware and frozen. Opt for items that are easy to thaw and can be eaten with one hand if mid-breastfeeding. Put snack packs together, like raw, unsalted nuts, whole grain crackers and roasted chickpeas that you can keep on your nightstand or coffee table, or quickly throw in your bag if rushing out the door to make a doctor's appointment. But no matter how much you organize meals ahead of time, fresh fruits and vegetables, given their shelf life, are hard to pre-purchase and have on hand. So when friends and family ask how they can help feed you post-baby, consider asking for some in-season fruit or a bowl of fresh salad greens.
3. Graze, graze, graze!
Grazing helps to keep your blood sugar steady. It also helps with weight loss postpartum; when you eat more consistently throughout the day you're less likely to binge on high carbohydrate / sugar foods. Keep healthy, high quality foods in a variety of places – your purse, backpack, desk drawer, car – even stashed in different easy-access areas around your home. When you begin to feel those initial hunger pains, you'll be ready. Eat a small portion of something nutritious to tide you over for the next 1-2 hours.

Temperatures are reaching the 90s and everyone is heading to the beach. Who wants to turn the oven on in this sticky heat? Summer is all about simple salads made with the freshest, seasonal ingredients.
Here are my top three recommendations for foods to keep you cool during the long summer months:
What would summer be without watermelon? This fruit has a high water content, is low in sugar but high in vitamins A and C. It's slimming, refreshing and makes a low-calorie snack. It's also delicious combined in a summer watermelon and tomato salad.
Stay cool as a cucumber by adding this water packed vegetable to any chopped salad or making cucumber sticks to go with your favorite dips or combining diced cucumber with plain yogurt to make Greek tzatziki.
Mint is very cooling and refreshing and is perfect in any salad or summer cocktail. Why not combine it with watermelon and cucumber to make the ultimate cooling salad?
Fill your summer with refreshing summer ingredients to help you stay cool all season long! Don't forget to also stay hydrated with lots of filtered water or green juices.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — The bank robbery suspects accused of leading police on a chase through three communities faced a judge on Tuesday.
James Bennet-Werra, 18, and Deurique Mendes, 31, were arraigned on armed robbery charges. Both pleaded not guilty.
Police said Mendes will also face a long list of traffic charges related to the chase.
Police were called to the Rockland Trust Bank on Route 123 in Attleboro around 2 p.m. Monday for reports of a bank robbery.
In court Tuesday, prosecutors said Bennet-Werra handed the teller a note demanding money. According to court documents, the partially-misspelled noted read:
A dye pack is something used to mark stolen cash during a bank robbery. The teller's drawer actually had no cash in it, according to the police affidavit. She then pressed an emergency button as the suspect left the bank and got into a car with Mendes.
According to Attleboro Police Chief Kyle Heagney, the suspects took off from the bank in a dark blue sedan with Connecticut plates.
Heagney said he heard the description of the car broadcast over his radio, then saw the vehicle and tried to pull the suspects over. However, he said the driver did not stop – beginning the pursuit that would go through Attleboro, Norton and Taunton.
"He willfully tried to elude the police," Heagney recalled. "He took numerous lefts and rights through the streets of Norton, didn't obey one stop sign, one red light."
The chase covered about 15 miles with speeds reaching over 100 mph as the vehicle sped along various side streets and Route 495. Heagney said the vehicle eventually took Exit 9, where Taunton Police Chief Edward Walsh deployed two stop sticks. With two flat tires, the car slowed.
"It's extremely rare. I think all the planets had to line up to have this happen," Heagney said. "When you have a Chief pursuing a bank robbery suspect, and another Chief deploying stop sticks to stop the bank robbery suspects."
Heaney says he used a maneuver to ram into the car and stop it for good, as it was driving on two rims toward a school bus with children.
He said he hasn't ever had to use the maneuver before–except for in the Police Academy.
"I don't usually like to damage my cruiser," he said.
Heagney said officers found evidence of the bank robbery inside the vehicle. Police took the two men into custody.
In court Tuesday, Mendes' public defender said he saw the police lights and "panicked," which is why he didn't pull over.
In a police affidavit, Bennet-Werra told police he had been held hostage by Mendes for the past three months. Police stated that was impossible, since Mendes had just been released from incarceration.
Mendes' bail was set at $100,000 and Bennet-Werra's was set at $50,000, but neither will be released after the judge revoked their bail for two separate, unrelated pending criminal cases.

Is there one rule for judges, another for MPs?3 min read . Updated: 08 Aug 2009, 12:52 AM IST
Is there one rule for judges, another for MPs?
Is there one rule for judges, another for MPs?
New Delhi: Earlier this week, the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance was forced to defer the introduction of the judges' assets Bill in the Rajya Sabha after rival parties, even some Congressmen, opposed it because it entitles judges to keep information about their wealth out of the public realm.
It emerges that information on the net worth or wealth of the country's elected representatives is also termed "confidential" according to Indian law. This, despite a sunshine law that requires everyone contesting an election to declare their wealth.
Rules on the declaration of assets and liabilities by members of the Lok Sabha (framed by the Speaker in exercise of the powers conferred upon him by sub-section (3) of section 75 A of the Representation of the People Act, 1951), clearly state that while every elected candidate shall furnish details of his assets and liabilities within 90 days of taking oath, and would be maintained in a register, the "information contained in the register shall be treated as confidential and it shall not be made available to any person except with the written permission of the Speaker."
"What is the secrecy that you are trying to maintain by giving the power to the Speaker? There certainly is justification for making this information public," Krishnamurthy said.
The judges' assets Bill was opposed by members of Parliament (or MPs) because it effectively exempts judges from disclosing their wealth.
"There is a distinction between information of assets and liabilities of candidates contesting elections and that of MPs. As far as the former is concerned, it is in the public domain. But for MPs, the rules continue to apply. At present, till the matter is taken up by the CIC (Central Information Commission) and it rules otherwise, the Speaker has the discretion to decide whether the information should be made public," said Subhash Kashyap, former secretary general of the Lok Sabha and constitutional adviser to the government of India.
There's also the possibility of MPs' wealth increasing significantly while they are in office and the current laws make no effort to disclose it in the public domain.
Interestingly, while it is a 2002 ruling by the Supreme Court that paved the way for publicizing assets of candidates contesting elections, it was only in 2004 that the rules made the disclosure of wealth by MPs compulsory and adjudged it confidential.
The enactment of the Right to Information or RTI Act in October 2005—this gives citizens of India the right to secure access to information under the control of public authorities—made the situation more complex. The CIC, meanwhile, referred one such RTI application to former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee (speaker between 2004 and May 2009), acknowledging Lok Sabha rules that say information on MPs' wealth can be made public only after the Speaker's nod.
Chatterjee issued an order asking the designated staff to make the information public.
While that sets a precedent, the decision in each case is "entirely up to the Speaker," said Kashyap. "He can decide not to allow it (the sharing of information.)."
The rules for Rajya Sabha MPs, meanwhile, are slightly different. The rules (Declaration of Assets and Liabilities Rules, 2004) state that MPs should declare their assets and liabilities to the Speaker within 90 days of taking oath and this information "shall be made available to any person with written permission of the chairman". Unlike the Lok Sabha, rules for the upper house do not classify this information as "confidential".
"The word confidential does make a difference because when it is used, it means the information would be disclosed only if there is an absolute need," said Krishnamurthy. Some activists, however, believe that the precedent set by the previous Speaker is enough to ensure future transparency as well.
"Because of the precedent, the Speaker now would be hard-pressed to explain why the information cannot be disclosed. RTI does not apply to any information which violates the privileges of the House. It was believed that disclosure of this information would violate that privilege and hence the rule was inserted saying only the Speaker could allow it. But in light of the previous order (Chatterjee's decision to make it public), it can be said that it does not violate Parliament's privilege," said RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal. "But theoretically, yes, even now it is up to the Speaker."
While the Bharatiya Janata Party's Arun Jaitley said the "observation that the details of the MPs are kept secret is pointless" because candidates declare their wealth during the polls, Communist Party of India (Marxist) leader Sitaram Yechury said the rule that treats the information on MPs' wealth as confidential is "tantamount to creating two classes of citizens, which is against the Constitution".

On January 29, actress, comedian, writer and producer Lily Tomlin will receive the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award, an honor bestowed upon actors since 1962 for "outstanding achievement in fostering the finest ideals of the profession." She will be presented the prize by her "9 to 5" co-stars Jane Fonda and Dolly Parton.
Tomlin, who is also up for a competitive prize that evening — Best Comedy Actress for Netflix's "Grace and Frankie" (against Fonda, among others) — is hardly a stranger to the entertainment awards circuit. Having scored victories at the Primetime Emmy, Grammy and Tony Awards, she is an Oscar away from that coveted EGOT status that a mere dozen artists have to date accomplished.

with experts' latest predictions and breaking news
The Primetime Emmys marked the first awards at which Tomlin made an appearance. Since 1971, when Tomlin received her first Emmy nomination, for her performance on the variety series "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In," the actress has garnered 23 Primetime Emmy bids, including half a dozen victories. Tomlin earned three nominations for "Laugh-In"; nine nominations for writing, producing and performing in the variety specials "The Lily Tomlin Show" (1973), "Lily" (1973), "The Lily Tomlin Special" (1975), "Lily" (1975), "The Paul Simon Special" (1977), "Lily: Sold Out" (1981), "Live…and in Person" (1983) and "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" (1991); a bid for producing the HBO documentary "The Celluloid Closet" (1995); and an additional seven Emmy nominations for performances in "And the Band Played On" (1993), "Growing Up Funny" (1994), "Homicide: Life on the Street" (1996), "Damages" (2010), "An Apology to Elephants" (2013) and "Grace and Frankie" (2015 and 2016).
Her six Primetime Emmy wins came for writing and producing "Lily" (1973); writing "The Lily Tomlin Special" and "The Paul Simon Special"; producing "Lily: Sold Out"; and Best Voiceover Performance for "An Apology to Elephants."
The Golden Globes also took notice of Tomlin early on with a Best TV Supporting Actress nomination for "Laugh-In" in 1972. Subsequent bids came for the films "Nashville" (1975); "The Late Show" (1977); "All of Me" (1984); and Grandma" (2015). Tomlin was also nominated for her 2015 work on "Grace and Frankie." She has not, however, scored a Golden Globe victory to date, sans a special award honoring the enormous cast of Robert Altman's "Short Cuts" (1993), of which Tomlin was a part.
"Nashville," also directed by Altman, marks the motion picture for which Tomlin garnered the most awards attention. It is the only film to date for which she was Oscar-nominated, ultimately losing that race to Lee Grant in "Shampoo" (1975). Beyond the Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, Tomlin's turn as gospel singer Linnea Reese also won her a BAFTA bid (for Most Promising Newcomer, a prize she lost to fellow Oscar-nominee Valerie Perrine in "Lenny") and Best Supporting Actress honors from the Kansas City Film Critics Circle, National Society of Film Critics and New York Film Critics Circle.
Dish the SAG Awards with Hollywood insiders in our notorious forums
Having released comedy albums since the "Laugh-In" days, Tomlin has garnered five Grammy Award nominations, with four in the category of Best Comedy Recording – for "This Is a Recording" (1972); "And That's the Truth" (1974); "Modern Scream" (1976); and "On Stage" (1979). Tomlin also shared a nomination, alongside fellow Emmy and Tony-winners Tyne Daly and John Lithgow, in Best Spoken Word Album for "The World According to Mr. Rogers" (2005). Her sole Grammy win came on the first nomination, for "This Is a Recording," which holds the distinction of being the highest-charting solo comedy record by a woman to grace the Billboard Hot 200.
The Tonys awarded her the Best Actress in the Play Tony for her one-woman Broadway show "The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe" (1986), written by longtime partner and collaborator Jane Wagner. She also garnered that year's Drama Desk Award and in 2001, was nominated by both the Tonys and Drama Desk for producing a revival of the production.
Tomlin enters this year's SAG Awards with three past nominations under her belt, all for her turn as Deborah Fiderer, Executive President to the President, on "The West Wing" – in 2003, for both Best Drama Actress and as part of the Drama Ensemble and again in 2005 as part of the nominated cast. First competitive SAG win this year or not, Tomlin is guaranteed to grace the stage on January 29, more than 45 years since that first Primetime Emmy nomination.
