For Bike to Work & School Week (May 27-June 2), we are featuring a number of community members who are champions for cycling, whether it be to work, school, or commuting around town.
Today we'll meet Anna Kandola, a Dietitian and Kinesiologist in Mackenzie.
Why do you bike to work and what do you like most about it?
We decided it would be a good option instead of having a second car – better for health, finances and the environment. It wakes me up and gives me more energy through the day to have had a bit of activity in the morning!
What do you think your community needs in order to make it easier for more people to bike to work OR school?
More bike racks available in the winter.
Any biking tips you'd like to share?
I have studded tires for winter riding which seem to help a lot. The chariot makes it so we can transport our daughter easily, so I can't use her as an excuse not to bike.
A big thank you to Anna for sharing some ideas on how to make biking an easier option year-round!
Are you a winter cyclist? Please share your tips and tricks with us for staying safe, warm, and dry on two wheels!

FORT LAUDERDALE — Clusters of adoptive parents, children and friends lined up in front of the Broward County Central Courthouse on a recent Saturday.
They were waiting to make their new family status official on Nov. 21, National Adoption Day.
The day not only included a legal proceeding, but also a celebration with balloons, Christmas décor, gifts and Mrs. Santa Claus smiling at children who were no longer going to be wards of the state.
Broward Circuit Court Judge Barbara McCarthy, one of the four judges officiating adoptions that day, made this point clear.
"Once I sign, you will step into the shoes of the biological parent," McCarthy told the parents. "You have all the rights and obligations, but you also have the joy of these children. You will be the forever mommy."
For new "Forever Mommy" Monique Gray, getting to the finish line of seeing the adoption documents signed marked the end of a long, but rewarding journey.
"The hardest part was the wait!" Gray said.
With five biological children, Gray, 37, of Pompano Beach, said she became interested in adoption after watching a "Forever Families" program on local news channel WFOR-CBS 4. After completing a mandatory adoption class, Gray went on the Heart Gallery of Broward County's website in August 2008, and asked her children to help her look.
The Heart Gallery features a host of children who are in need of adoption.
Gray and her children were drawn to brothers Eric, 6, and Latravis, 7, who reminded them of family members.
"So I contact Lanecia Radcliff (ChildNet adoption home finder), but she said that they (Eric and Latravis) were already going to be adopted. So I said, 'If it falls through, call me back,' " Gray said.
ChildNet is a non-profit that manages the services and support systems for foster children in Broward.
Radcliff ended up calling her back, and Gray was able to start the adoption process. Fifteen months later, the children are officially hers.
Eric and Latravis were two of over 30 children who were adopted on Nov. 21, but were the only siblings who had their previous foster parents in attendance.
Former foster parents Stephen Durand and Nicole Durand took care of the siblings for the last four years. They addressed the court and gave Gray their blessing.
"Yes I want to say that I'm very glad…when they came to our house about four years ago, I heard that they were going from foster home to foster home, so my wife and I said, 'We are not going to allow them to go from place to place, we will keep them until they find a permanent home for them,' " Stephen Durand said.
"This is a glorious day for us. Ms. Monique, I can see the work that you have been doing, please keep on doing it!" he added.
The photograph of Eric and Latravis in the Heart Gallery that caught Gray's eye was presented to her.
Matthew Straeb, co-founder of the Broward Heart Gallery, received a governor's award for his efforts, and adoption rates have risen 25 percent since the photo gallery displaying adoptable children went on the Internet.
"It really is a privilege,'' Straeb said. "There's a lot of people involved at the heart gallery, but most importantly, it is the courageous adoptive parents.''
Gray said she looks forward to the future, and is happy that her new sons will legally share her last name, though it never made a difference to Eric and Latravis.
"The children have been calling me 'Mommy' since I got them in June," she said.
For more information about becoming a foster or adoptive parent, please call ChildNet's Recruitment Hotline at 954-414-6001.

It was Thanksgiving day back in 2002. I was only 23 years old and my life forever changed on that day. I had a placental abruption and Brendan was born at 33 weeks. He lost oxygen during delivery due to incompetent care but was a fighter and turned 17 this year. My journey in life over the past 17 years took many turns I was not expecting but I try to stay strong and have my husband by my side even when I am not.

I did it! Look to your right :)
I am struggling with some awful family news I received recently but I am trying to just deal with it the best that I can. I am an emotional person and I don't handle illness well. Hard to believe I raise a disabled child!! I have a huge heart but sometimes it impairs me. I just get so emotional that it effects my entire day. I can't get into it publicly due to their wishes but just keep my family in your thoughts and prayers. We need them!! :'(
Brendan is doing great and I am so proud of him. Casts come off in about 8 days...woohoo! He has almost taken all of the stuffing out from around the edges of the cast so his legs aren't looking so pretty! He is doing great with his letters. ADHD medication is working. Either that or his school totally rocks! He has struggled with letter recognition for years due to his vision issues. However, he has now gotten c,m,s,t, and a down pat!!! He can spell his name and recognize all of those letters as well but for some reason he really struggles naming the letters. We are heading in the right direction. I am so proud of him. He is also learning site words....the, my, I, and A. He has trouble with the but otherwise doing awesome!!

Woo hoo! WTG, Brendan! This is so amazing! I can't wait to see how well he does with the casts off. I'm glad to hear he's doing so well in school too! Isn't funny how our kids struggle with different things? Malayna cannot learn one color and no one seems to know why. Her eye doctor feels she's not colorblind but I don't know what else it could be. I just try to keep the faith that she'll get it when she's ready.
I'm really sorry to hear about the family news. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers! I'm emotional like you too. But I know you are amazingly strong too!

YAY Brendan! Great job with those strides. Thanks Steph for putting this up there. He is doing awesome--even with the cast on and looks great. That is amazing!
I think it is fantastic to hear about his letter recognition since that can be so hard for some kids with cortical visual issues.
It's funny how CP affects all our kids so differently, isn't it?
I will be praying for you and your family. I hate that you have heard bad news. I am also very emotional and can cry at the drop of a hat, so I totally understand.
Please thank Brendan for us! I personally really appreciate seeing him walking. He is pretty darn handsome too!

thanks for posting the video of him walking I am so excited i get to see it. Glad he is doing so well after surgery and that the casts will be off soon.
also glad to hear he is doing so well in school with letter and word recognition.

Rada extends moratorium on business checks until Dec 31, 2017
Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada has extended a moratorium on scheduled business checks until December 31, 2017.
A total of 235 lawmakers approved at second reading bill No. 3153 on the specifics of oversight in economic activities on Thursday.
Chairman of the parliamentary committee for industrial policy and entrepreneurship Viktor Halasiuk said that the temporary moratorium on checks is introduced to help business to take breath after 'dragon control' and the state is able to draw up the relevant criteria and risk-oriented tools for oversight based on new public oversight principles approved in bill No. 2418.
The document bans most oversight agencies from conducting scheduled checks, but it does not restrict off-schedule checks. Off-schedule checks have four grounds: under a court ruling, under an application of a company, in case of an accident and under a grounded application of an individual after agreeing it with the authorized agency of the State Regulatory Service. Halasiuk said that it takes five days to agree it.
The bill does not apply to relations appeared during checks by regulatory agencies in the spheres of energy and utilities, securities market, security and some quality indicators of food, supervision over observation of legislation on protecting consumers' rights, tax policy, customs, financial control, exports control, nuclear energy security, civil aviation and airspace use, public architectural and construction supervision, environment protection, rational use and preserve of natural resources, checks by the National Council of Ukraine for Television and Radio Broadcasting, National Bank of Ukraine and Antimonopoly Committee.

Reds 6 – Mets 0
The excitement of the six-game winning streak was replaced with frustration for the 42,724 at Shea last night.
The weather was misty and cool and so were the Mets' bats. The new-look Mets were beaten by the oldest adage in baseball.
Momentum didn't matter to the Reds' Scott Williamson. He was the Cincinnati starter last night and he teased the Mets in his 6-0 win.
He allowed them to put runners in scoring position in each of the first five innings, but the Mets were like the cast on Gilligan's Island – they could never make it home.
"He obviously kept us off balance," Mike Piazza said of Williamson, who – rare for a starter – throws only two pitches, a fastball and slider. "He made some good pitches when he had to. He obviously took advantage of the conditions. The ball wasn't traveling well. … It's very frustrating."
The Mets' momentum didn't matter much for Glendon Rusch, either. Ken Griffey Jr. and Dante Bichette made Rusch look more like the Kansas City Rusch who came to the Mets in September of last year with a 5.78 ERA, not the New York Rusch who entered last night with a 4.03 ERA.
Rusch (7-8) didn't throw horribly, but was doomed by a three-run first inning. After giving up another run in the third, Rusch settled down and retired 10 in a row. But it was too late for the Mets on this overcast night.
"It was gloomy, but it's been gloomy the whole homestand, but we've been winning," Rusch said.
Williamson, who left after six shutout innings with a left hamstring spasm, recognized the team he defeated was hot. He realizes the Mets are contenders looking to overtake the Braves.
"New York, I think they're better than the Braves," said Williamson, last season's NL Rookie of the Year as reliever.
"To beat a team like that, a team on a hot streak, is a big lift to our confidence."
The loss dropped the Mets 5 ½ games behind the idle Braves in the NL East, and their lead in the wild-card race dropped to 1 ½ games with the Giants' win.
Williamson (4-7) didn't do it alone. Larry Luebbers relieved the hurt Williamson and, appropriately, put men two men in scoring position before striking out Benny Agbayani to end the game. Luebbers picked up his first save for his three shutout innings.
Red pitchers got all the production they needed in the first. With one-out and leadoff hitter Chris Stynes on first, Griffey singled in the second-base hole, just past a diving Edgardo Alfonzo.
Bichette – who had three RBIs on the night – followed by pounding a hanging curve straight over the head of Derek Bell, who shifted to center last night to give Jay Payton a rest. It wouldn't have mattered who was manning center, though, because a young Willie Mays couldn't have caught this drive.
While Stynes, who led off the game with a ground single to right, scored easily, Griffey, from first, raced around and beat the relay throw from Mike Bordick. Griffey slid in feet-first into home, just before the ball arrived and spit out of the glove of Mike Piazza.
Bichette moved to third on the throw and scored a batter later on a routine grounder to Alfonzo at second. Rusch and the Mets trailed 3-0.
"It was just mistakes," Rusch said. "I didn't make the pitches I needed to make."
Thanks to Williamson, the Shea crowd, which has matched the electricity found in the clubhouse after the Mets' new acquisitions, was quieter than it's been on this homestand. The only time it seemed to really get super into it was to boo Griffey and Barry Larkin – who both declined to play for the Mets after being traded here.
"This crowd takes their team personally," manager Bobby Valentine said. "They felt a little personally attacked there. But they know he is a terrific player and respect him for that."

An Administration Police officer accused of killing his lover in Navakholo last week has been charged with murder.
Mr Patrick Nyapara, who was arraigned in a Kakamega court on Monday, will however, remain in police custody for the next seven days to enable the investigating officers to avail the Ceska Pistol Number KEAPG 1411 in Nairobi for ballistic examination.
Investigating officer Leonard Kurgat said the suspect will undergo a mental assessment to ascertain whether he is fit to stand trial.
"We will conduct psychiatric assessment on the accused to ascertain whether he is fit to stand trial," said Mr Kurgat in an affidavit read to the court by Court Prosecutor Lydia Ombega.
Mr Nyapara is accused of killing his lover Ms Christine Maonga on March 14 at a rental house in Navakholo sub-county, Kakamega County.
Until her death, Ms Maonga was a teacher at Navakholo Secondary School. The police constable who fled after the incident, was arrested on March 16.
He was arrested at a hideout in Nasira village in Nambale, Busia County, while trying to flee to Uganda.
The court was also told that the accused seemed insecure following demonstrations that rocked Navakholo after the shooting incident.
Mr Nyapara who appeared before Principal Magistrate Bildad Ochieng' accepted the request to adjourn the commencement of his case.
There was tension at the court precincts that had heavy presence of anti-riot police. Escorted by two police vehicles, the suspect was taken to court at around 10.30am.
He was held at the court cells until 12.48pm when he was presented before court.
Mr Nyapara, who wore a grey jacket, had his eyes fixed on the floor until he was asked to respond to the application to adjourn the commencement of the case.
He will be held in remand at the Kakamega Police Station. The case will be heard on March 25.

September 24, 2018 - Nike honors Croatian midfielder Luka Modric with a celebratory boot, the Mercurial Vapor PE "Modric," after his 2018 Best Player distinction.
The boot's full multi-chrome upper shines with an iridescent finish. Characteristic of the Mercurial Vapor, lightweight plates under the forefoot and heel are contoured for comfort and control.
August 15, 2019 - Evolving LeBron James' journey from Warrior to King, the latest LeBron 16 Low x Titan "Agimat" was inspired by Filipino folklore. Two new badges — a shield and a lightning bolt — are featured on the heels. The shield was inspired by the Bagobo tribe's traditional armor, while the lightning bolt symbolizes power.
The shoe is built to harness the athlete's power during play through a combined cushioning system that allows for impact absorption while providing a responsive energy return. A stretch collar and custom lacing also allows for ease of entry and security.
The Nike LeBron 16 Low x Titan "Agimat" will be available August 31 at Titan Stores, the Titan App, TITAN22.com and nike.com in Southeast Asia and North America.
August 14, 2019 - For Flushing Meadows, tennis player Sloane Stephens will rock a NikeCourt Zoom Zero fitted with a White Aqua upper from the Air Jordan VIII — the same Air Jordan that was created in 1993, her birth year. The midsole and outsole are drawn from the Zoom Zero, which features a full-length Zoom Air unit articulated for step-to-step transitions specific to tennis. The high-top upper sports colorblocking from the women's-specific White Aqua colorway and includes a chenille fabric patch and crossover midfoot straps.
The NikeCourt Air Zoom Zero Aqua releases on nike.com during Stephens' play at Flushing Meadows.
August 13, 2019 - The Nike Blazer Cactus Plant Flea Market Sponge By You begins with Nike's iconic 1972 basketball shoe. The project filters the shoe through its contemporary skate heritage with deconstructed edges, an ode to the DIY customization of skate footwear and a patchwork of fabrics: loose knit, quilted, fleece and synthetic suede. The general vibe channels the type of patchwork or crocheted blankets one might find at a flea market.
Other elements of the Nike Blazer CPFM Sponge By You are, naturally, up to you.
On the multi-textured tan base color, selections for the eye-stay, lace and Swoosh can be made independently on the right and left shoes. This means one could stay the course and keep both the same, or identify a different personality for each. Either way, CPFM's unique upper articulation grants a subtle asymmetry.
The Nike Blazer CPFM Sponge By You launches on the Nike by You builder August 27.

August 12, 2019 - Rooted in a collaborative relationship that stretches back to 2006, the Nike SB Blazer Low "Salvator Michael" is inspired by the character of a marquee piece in artist Michael Lau's COLLECT THEM ALL! exhibition in Shanghai.
The canvas base fabric is cut at different angles to create unique print variations of the character. Other features are clear references within the world of art auctions. For example, staples are applied around the midsole to mimic the staples that mount a painting canvas to its frame.
The shoe releases August 18.
August 12, 2019 - Using upcycled denim, the Converse Renew Denim Chuck 70 serves as the first example of Converse's capacity to reimagine used textiles, which are diverted from landfills, into new Converse silhouettes.
Individual pairs of jeans are separated into three washes — light, medium and dark — and butterfly cut to create the Chuck 70 shoe panels.
The Converse Renew Denim Chuck 70 collection is available August 22 at converse.com and retailers globally.
August 07, 2019 - The All Star Pro BB Archive Pack applies two archival print colorways, one leopard and one camouflage, along with black laces and outsoles to Converse's minimal new basketball shoe.
Converse first applied a graphic print — camouflage — to the Chuck Taylor All Star in 1983. Glow-in-the-dark animal prints followed in '88, and since then prints and colors have become a constant application to the brand's classic silhouettes. Delivering on the expressive energy of basketball, the Archive Pack marks the first time Converse heritage graphics have been applied to a performance silhouette.

Jordan Brand Celebrates International Basketball With New Footwear Collection

August 07, 2019 - Releasing for the summer's premier global basketball tournament in China, Jordan Brand is launching a footwear pack that includes four silhouettes: the new Jordan Jumpman Diamond, the Air Jordan XXXIII SE, the Air Jordan IV and the Air Jordan XII.
Jordan Jumpman Diamond
The Jordan Jumpman Diamond, the brand's latest performance shoe and a collaborative effort between Tinker Hatfield and the Jordan Brand design team, carries a white, red and gold color palette and features an upper revealing the flag markings of the participating nations. Embodied on the inside of the tongue is the phrase "For the Love of the Game" in English.
"In designing the shoe, we were talking with Tinker about how you offer something with a certain attitude that still carries purposefulness," says David Cin, Senior Design Director for Jordan Brand Performance Footwear. "Tinker was looking for density in the frame where you need it most during gameplay."
The Jordan Jumpman Diamond releases August 8 in Greater China.
Air Jordan XXXIII SE
The collection's Air Jordan XXXIII SE pairs white and gold colors with flag markings on the upper. Chinese characters spell "Love The Game" on the inside of the tongue.
"The FastFit technology of the Air Jordan XXXIII took us to a new place in how we could contain, and at the same time, how we could simplify," says Cin.
The Air Jordan XXXIII SE releases August 22 in Greater China.
Air Jordan IV
The silhouette is covered in a dominate hue of crimson and contrasting details in navy blue. The original mesh-filled cutouts of the Air Jordan IV are replaced with graphics inspired by the national flags from the participants of the tournament.
"The 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan IV is happening this year, and we wanted to celebrate that moment in the collection," says Cin.
The Air Jordan IV releases September 1 in Greater China.
Air Jordan XII
The Air Jordan XII is treated with the collection's color scheme, while the national flag element is embossed on the lateral side panel of the shoe. The five Chinese characters meaning "Love The Game" read below the heel strap.
"The silhouette stands out in the pack as it was the first Jordan Brand game shoe to release in Greater China," says Cin. "The gold ties to the idea of playing for medals and trophies — achieving the same things that MJ achieved."
The Air Jordan XII releases August 24 in Greater China.
August 05, 2019 - Arriving in time for pro golf's playoffs, the all-white Air Jordan XI Low Golf features glossy patent leather on the mudguard and a leather-toned outsole plate.
The Air Jordan XI Low Golf releases August 8 on nike.com and at select retailers.

Woman, mother, wife, lover, confidant… there are so many roles a woman should be able to pull off, sometimes even simultaneously, that naturally often she feels overwhelmed and exhausted. I often feel that way and i wonder why we enforce all those roles onto us?! Do we all need to fulfill the idea of a superwoman imposed by the society and mostly men?! The romantic idea of the perfect woman in the 1950s was a housewife, who cleans, cooks, does the dishes and take care of the children all in all wearing an elegant dress, pearls, and heels with make-up on and a hairdo.
Nowadays, added to all that we are supposed to work and contribute equally to the home budget… Frustrating, isn't it?! Being lost in all those roles , I often feel the inner rebel in me screaming – "Where the hell are you, girl?!". "Where is the free, careless, and fun-loving girl you once were?". "Where are all those spontaneous trips, the smiles, the laughter, the cheeky attitude and the flirtatious relationship with your life?". "Where is the free-spirited girl, who would dance all night long, go skinny dipping under the moonlight, make new friends everywhere she goes and charm her way out of any trouble?" I miss her, I miss her when I get up, prepare breakfast, lunch, supper, clean the house, do the dishes, take the kid out to the park, do the shopping, plan the family events, doctor's appointments, and on top of that be a high-level manager at work, who is expected to always take one step further to meet the clients' expectations and engage her team.
Often I lay down at night in bed so exhausted and do trying to go to sleep with my mind restlessly going through the list of the things that need to be done, the people that need to be called, the tasks that need to be managed. I lay down and dream that I have one day when I can wake up when I am fully rested and slept soundly through the whole night. I dream that I wake up and just lay in bed, enjoying the rays of the sun dancing on my curtains. I dream that I go and take a long shower, make coffee for myself and drink in slowly, reading my favorite magazine, I dream that… "Mommy… mooommyyy" – a sweet voice calls me and i feel the tender arms and sweet smell of my baby boy's breath on my face. I open my eyes and smile… I am happy, and it's all worthwhile!
I love my inner me, I know you are there and want to be set free from time to time and I will make sure you truly are, I promise! Now let me get some cuddle time and go make breakfast.

If you are selling a home, your agent is supposed to represent your best interests — right? I thought so too! This morning I made some phone calls on behalf of a buyer who is looking for an investment-type condominium. We were off to a great start, the agent answered her phone, I explained that I needed to know if the condominium association (Association) would allow rentals….she then proceeded to tell me that the seller was difficult to understand — and we don't have access to e-mail or texting? I think her point was that she didn't know, and didn't care.
So, I asked if the seller might know about restrictions on rentals; the agents' response this time was "I don't know". Next, I asked the agent if she had a contact for the Association; the response this time? "I'm only a limited service agent, so I get don't get into those details." Seems to me there is a serious lack of service here. How would you feel if you were the seller, and the bigger question — how would you know?
If you are selling, make sure that you and your agent agree on the tasks to be done by both parties, and how you're going to communicate. Expectations should be clear and as always, communication is key!

Don't shortchange our students
Your advocacy is needed. The impact of the governor's school funding proposal is far below what is necessary to finance Iowa's schools. The governor is proposing to increase per pupil spending by 1.25 percent or $80 per student for the 2015-16 school year and a 2.45 percent increase or $158 per pupil for the 2016-17 school year. On average Iowa schools' general fund budgets increase by 3-3.5 percent a year.
The state of Iowa must end the current trend of under funding our schools. Over the last 14 years school funding has been reduced by 17 percent due to across the board cuts, eliminated funding for technology, and reduced dropout prevention funds. Currently the state of Iowa's per pupil spending ranks 35th in the nation spending $1,612 less per pupil than the rest of the nation. This is not acceptable. How will Iowa's schools be able to provide a world class education with third-world funding?
The potential negative impact from under funding will force schools to make deeper cuts in staff and programs. Areas that are likely to get cut first are counseling, student support programs, and the fine arts programs. By eliminating counselors, PBIS and other programs that help student's social and emotional growth, we are likely to see a rise in:
Bullying behaviors
Student absenteeism
Dropout rates
Class sizes
I thought the governor wanted to reduce bullying in schools? His new funding plan is likely to do the opposite by forcing schools to decrease staff sizes and people trained to help students with these tendencies.
Education accounts for 55 percent of the states budget but schools are handcuffed in how they can spend the money. Schools do not have the authority to spend it in ways that will most effectively impact our children. The $50 million to support the Teacher Leadership and Compensation (TLC) Plan is commendable but our children are more likely to benefit more from this money being spent elsewhere. I ask our elected officials what is more important; spending money for TLC, which is an organizational systems plan that will not have the same direct impact on students? Or providing the funding that will allow schools to maintain programs and personnel that will directly support our student's social, emotional, and educational needs? Won't the students benefit more by having smaller class sizes, more teachers, more classroom associates, not having to eliminate valuable educational programs, keeping up with the rapid changes in technology, and being able to provide the proper educational materials? Please take the time to contact the Governor and our legislators and tell them to properly funds Iowa's schools (6 PERCENT increase in per pupil funding) because our children deserve better!
Bob Cue is superintendent for the North Tama County Community School District.

A story at Inman News caught my eye because after 31 years of homeownership, I'm once again a renter.
The May 18 story (click here to read), by Inman News columnist Jack Guttentag, calls renters "NOHOs" and suggests that renters are living for the moment — paycheck-to-paycheck folks who lack the long-term perspective of homeowners.
Guttentag starts off being provocative and gets more so throughout the story:

Egypt Economic Outlook
Macroeconomic performance
Real GDP growth was an estimated 5.3% in 2018, the highest rate in a decade. The growth was associated with a decrease in unemployment to around 10% from 12% in 2017. On the supply side, recoveries in tourism and in natural gas production sustained growth. On the demand side, net exports and investment rebounded, while private household consumption weakened due to inflation. With the ongoing broad fiscal consolidation effort, the fiscal deficit declined to 9.0% in 2018, and the fiscal balance excluding interest payments (primary balance) reached a modest surplus. The debt-to-GDP ratio decreased to 92.5% in 2018 from 103% in 2017. Following the 2016 devaluation, the nominal and real effective exchange rates dropped substantially, benefiting exports due to increasing price competitiveness and improving terms of trade.
Tailwinds and headwinds
Real GDP is projected to reach 5.8% in 2020. An improved business climate is leading to a major recovery in foreign direct investment, while better security conditions benefit tourism. Moreover, the natural gas production of the Zohr field should keep rising, allowing the country to reach self-sufficiency and become a net gas exporter.
Egypt undertook impressive structural reforms in 2017–18. Landmark policies eased starting a business, strengthened legal rights, improved the bankruptcy law, and enhanced access to credit. The energy sector has become more sustainable and competitive, with improved governance. A large public investment in power generation turned the country's power supply from shortage to surplus, and the government is planning to establish the country as a regional energy hub. Egypt's grid, currently being expanded, should absorb the new generation capacity and serve the growing number of consumers. Bold energy tariff reforms aim to remove subsidies over 3–4 years. Moreover, the new energy sector law should enable higher private investment and stronger competitiveness.
However, the country faces headwinds. Debt, above 90% of GDP, remains high though sustainable. Servicing the debt accounts for about 30% of fiscal spending almost 10% of GDP. Increased foreign currency denominated debt, the opening of the capital account, and rising foreign investment in the local currency sovereign debt market increase Egypt's sensitivity to international capital market volatility. Nevertheless, a flexible exchange rate and rising net international reserves (currently 8.5 months of imports) provide buffers. Egypt would also be adversely affected by a sharp increase in oil prices or security risks.
Water and sanitation remain key challenges for Egypt, especially given the rapidly rising population of 96.7 million. Renewable water resources average 59.3 billion cubic meters a year, while water use is 100 billion cubic meters a year. Egypt fills the gap with desalinized seawater, reuse of drainage water, shallow ground water, and treated wastewater. The government has made considerable achievements in monitoring, controlling, and minimizing water pollution on the Nile. Moreover, over four years, 80 sanitation projects have been completed, covering 414 villages, at a cost of 9 billion Egyptian pounds. Expanding and upgrading mega-urban wastewater treatment remain a top government priority.
Poverty remains a key challenge exacerbated by high inflation. The government has beefed up its poverty eradication efforts, notably through improved targeting and cash transfers. But ongoing population growth precludes Egypt from benefiting from a demographic dividend over the medium term. Thus, private sector–led inclusive growth remains paramount.

It is an important thing to remember that carpet cleaning Santa Barbara is a chore that should be done. There is no way that you are going to skip out on it because if you do it will turn out into a bigger problem later. So, if you want to make sure that you are able to preserve the life of a carpet you should do some serious cleaning.
Carpets are a great addition to the house, you can have carpets even if you have pets, you just need to make an effort. Either way, whether you decide to hire a carpet cleaning professional for the deep cleaning you still need to know the daily maintenance that you have to do.

This is something that you can totally do, so you shouldn't worry too much about it. These methods and tips are all user-friendly, so you won't have to worry about damaging your carpets too much.
You can use baking soda for an alternative for cleaning your carpet instead of using a carpet cleaning powder. Either product would do you good, it is a pretty easy product to use too. You just sprinkle liberally the product on the carpet. You leave it there for 30 minutes or overnight for better results.
What this does is that the powder will soak up the odor from the carpet, it will also soften the stains as well as help you get rid of the grime in the carpet. When you have soaked it for 30 minutes or overnight, you can then vacuum the powder away. Remember to not leave it too long that it will settle into the carpet and make it even more crusty.
When you like having parties in the home or you have pets in the home, you should prepare an emergency kit for carpets when the need arises. When it comes to carpet care, time is of the essence afterall you'll have to deal with grimes and dirt settling on the carpet. If you don't want that then you can definitely make the whole thing a whole lot easier.
You need to also remember that there are other accidents that you might need your quick thinking to be the first thing. You see, when it comes to gum on the carpet, you can use ice to harden the gum so, it is easier to lift off from the carpet.
You may want to consider this, this trick is an easy one to follow, all you have to do is to hire a company carpet cleaner to do your annual job, deep cleaning your carpet. The recommended times of making sure that you have a pretty carpet once every six months.

Tyler Bleyendaal to make first start in four months for Munster against Glasgow
Tyler Bleyendaal makes his first start in four months for Munster against Glasgow in Cork on Friday night
NEW Zealand out-half Tyler Bleyendaal will make his first start for Munster since October in Friday night's Guinness Pro14 clash with Glasgow at Musgrave Park, 7pm.
Twenty seven-year-old Bleyendaal has recovered from a neck injury and played the final 20 minutes of Munster's disappointing Pro14 defeat to Cardiff Blues at the Arms Park last weekend.
Bleyendaal's partner at half-back for Friday night's Conference A top-of-the-table clash with Glasgow will be James Hart who will make his third start of the season at scrum-half
Billy Holland captains the Munster side on his 180th appearance for the province as Head Coach Johann van Graan makes 12 changes to the team beaten in Cardiff last week.
Simon Zebo starts at full-back in his final game for the province in Cork before his summer move to Racing 92.
Andrew Conway returns from Ireland camp to start on the right wing with Alex Wootton, Munster's top try-scorer so far this season, on the opposite flank.
Sammy Arnold and Dan Goggin are the centres with out-half Tyler Bleyendaal and scrum-half James Hart completing the backline.
A new front row sees hooker Niall Scannell return from international duty with James Cronin and Stephen Archer the two props.
Jean Kleyn partners Holland in the second row. Flanker Dave O'Callaghan makes his first start since returning from a long-term knee injury as Chris Cloete and no.8 Robin Copeland keep their places in the back row.
Rhys Marshall, Dave Kilcoyne and Brian Scott provide the front row cover as Gerbrandt Grobler and Jack O'Donoghue complete the forward replacements.
Duncan Williams, Ian Keatley and Greencore Munster Rugby Academy winger Calvin Nash are the backline substitutes.
MUNSTER: Simon Zebo; Andrew Conway, Sammy Arnold, Dan Goggin, Alex Wootton; Tyler Bleyendaal, James Hart; James Cronin, Niall Scannell, Stephen Archer; Jean Kleyn, Billy Holland (C); Dave O'Callaghan, Chris Cloete, Robin Copeland. Replacements: Rhys Marshall, Dave Kilcoyne, Brian Scott, Gerbrandt Grobler, Jack O'Donoghue, Duncan Williams, Ian Keatley, Calvin Nash.

This recipe is sponsored by EZ Tofu Press. All opinions are 100% my own.
Balsamic Tofu Bacon is sweet, smoky, salty, and delicious anywhere that you'd use bacon. Serve it up as slices alongside a tofu scramble, stuffed into a breakfast sandwich, or diced up over a salad.
Balsamic Tofu Bacon – Baked or Air Fried
This recipe is super duper easy. Get your tofu pressing in your EZ Tofu Press, then slice it into thin pieces.
While the tofu is pressing, whip up that super easy, 6-ingredient marinade. Marinate, bake (or air fry), and devour!
More Vegan Bacon Goodness: 15 DELICIOUS WAYS TO MAKE THE BEST VEGAN BACON
There are really three keys to this recipe:
- Slice your tofu nice and thin. I'm talking about 1/4″ slices. Thicker slices will still work, but you may need to cook your bacon for longer to get it nice and firm.
- Press your tofu. Pressing the water out helps you get a more toothsome tofu bacon. It also makes room for that tasty marinade to soak in. I like to press my tofu in my EZ Tofu Press because it's quick, easy, and even. The better you press, the better your results will be.
Speaking of marinating…
- Marinate! Don't skimp on the marinating time. That full 30 minutes will yield the most flavorful results.
Once the tofu is marinated, just throw it into the oven or the air fryer, and you'll be munching on Balsamic Tofu Bacon before you know it!
Actually, don't just throw it in. Remove it from the marinade, and either spread it on a baking sheet or put it gently into your air fryer basket.
Where to Use Your Vegan Bacon
You can really use this anywhere that you want to add the smoky-sweet, salty power of bacon.
I love it piled onto a vegan BLT with vegan mayo, like in the photo above. You can also add it to other sandwiches and wraps for a flavor and protein boost.
Dice up your tofu bacon and sprinkle it over salads or onto creamy soups.
You can also serve this on up its own. Maybe next to a good old tofu scramble or cheesy grits casserole?
Balsamic Tofu Bacon
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon liquid smoke
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil – (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 block tofu – pressed and sliced into 1/4″ thick pieces
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, liquid smoke, olive oil, and garlic powder.
- Arrange the tofu in a shallow dish with a lid. Pour on the marinade, and marinate for 30 minutes.
Oven Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Arrange the tofu in a single layer on a non-stick or oiled baking sheet. Make sure that before you put the tofu on the baking sheet, you let the excess marinade drip off. Extra marinade in the pan will give you soggy bacon. Bake 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway. Your tofu bacon is ready when it's mostly crispy – thicker pieces will take longer to cook. Some soft spots are OK.
Air Fryer Directions
- Transfer the tofu to your air fryer basket. Air fry for 18-22 minutes at 400F minutes, shaking gently every 5 minutes or so. Your tofu bacon is ready when it's mostly crispy. Some soft spots are OK.
- Cooking time is estimated – it's right in between the minimum air fry time and minimum baking time.
- The calorie calculation includes the optional olive oil.

The Cambridge .There is still a plaque on the wall bearing this name,and the post office website does list 13 Mare Street as being the address of The Cambridge,even though the pub is closed .It seems that the old name lives on ,and that is how it has been listed here.It is unreviewed ,so a historic note from you may well be worthwhile.Hope this helps.
"Good people drink good beer" Hunter S Thompson
It was renamed the Cambridge in 1998. There were a group of Young's pubs in East London that they leased from Whitbread at some point prior to the mid 1970s. This was one of them and I assume it became the Cambridge when the lease expired. I only knew it as the Rose and Crown (from the mid 1970s).
Apparently Enterprise got their oar in before it closed (which probably explains it).
I heard a story that Young's swapped the Prince(ss) of Wales from Whitbread for the Black Horse at Gomshall. The last time I passed by the Black Horse it was a glorified Fish and Chip shop! It is now closed, good work Whitbread!!
Regarding Youngs East London pubs,i have a small guide from about 1984 which lists all 149 Youngs houses
Here are the one with E post codes
Coburn Arms: 8 coburn road, Bow E3
Prince of Wales:146 lea bridge road,Hackney E5
Rose and Crown:13 mare street,Hackney E8
Royal standard:161-165 Kingsland road,Hackney E2
Tiger:245 wick road,Hommerton E9
Queens Head:8 flamborough street,Stepney E14
Britannia:1 church road,Barking
I will add a short review and hopefully add my photo of it when it was up and running at some point in the future.
Thanks for looking into this,Cheers Alan

A vigil to pay respect to the victims of the Manchester terrorist attack took place in Wrexham town centre this evening.
People congregated around the band stand on Llwyn Isaf outside the Guildhall from 5:30pm earlier this evening.
One of the organisers, Rhys Griffiths, said afterwards: "I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came and supported Manchester tonight at Wrexham Vigil – including all the people who showed up with flowers, candles and teddies, the performers and to all who helped organise the Vigil.
"Many of the flowers, teddies, candles and beautiful notes have now been moved to St. Giles' church on display as a memorial that anybody can go to and pay there respects. Many of the flowers, teddies and handwritten notes are also making there way to Manchester."
"Thank you for all the donations they are for a good cause. Thank you Wrexham for coming together and showing your support."
We have created this short film of the event:
John Gallanders from AVOW referred to the number of people who were at the event in Wrexham this evening who had also been in Manchester for the concert on Monday, and were understandably very upset.
John passed us the below leaflet initially issued by the Health Board yesterday, noting there are an unknown number of young people and their families who have affected, and that the information could help. People are also reminded to speak with their school or college to ensure the appropriate emotional support can be accessed.
Sadly we have to note that one 49 year old moron was swiftly arrested by an off duty police officer for attempting to disrupt the event.

A WOMAN has been threatened with jail for the shocking state of her garden.
A shipping container, building debris and abandoned van and trailers litter Helen Abbott's garden.
Despite beng repeatedly asked to clean it up by landlord New Charter, Mrs Abbott has not done so and has failed to attend court hearings.
Last week a judge issued a two-week prison sentence for contempt of court - only for it to be rescinded days later and a new hearing date set.
Mrs Abbott, of Elms Road Stalybridge who has lived at the property for 18 years, now has until 8 April to clean up her garden.
Landlord New Charter has said that while Mrs Abbott has been spared jail this time, it is determined to pursue the matter through the courts.
Mrs Abbott has vowed to both clean up her garden and turn up in court for the hearing.
"The letter does not tell me if I have to be in court next month but I will be there this time. I do not know what will happen mind," she said.
Her husband Andrew said they would remove the shipping container and other debris the next. Mrs Abbott, 46, had a warrant for her arrest issued for failure to attend two hearing and was ordered to pay £2,593 court costs for the legal battle with New Charter.
However, one neighbour, Christine Phillips said: "I don't know anyone who's complained about it. No one was expecting her to clean it up because she been so ill."
New Charter's director of tenancy services, Tony Powell, warned that Mrs Abbott could face eviction. He said: "Our neighbourhood is still blighted by the mess. We will be looking to take further action which will resolve this once and for all."

Genius Brands Launching New Nancy Drew Series
FinancialPress Staff Education, Featured
Teaching children coding is a hot issue for games and shows today. It's not that every child is going to move on to a career in programming, but learning coding teaches a litany of problem solving and thinking skills that translate into nearly every profession. Apps such as Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) Swift Playground start out by teaching children the basics of coding before moving on to design their own creations, effectively teaching unique skills in an entertaining manner. The educational philosophy is part of the popular STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) learning practices that have become commonplace today to make learning more fun and engagement for children.
Content and brand management company Genius Brands International (OTCQB: GNUS) on Wednesday said that it has partnered with HeR Interactive to launch Genius Brands' first branded channel, called Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues, based on the new eponymous mobile game of HeR Interactive designed for kids with any coding experience. HeR Interactive has been published more than 32 interactive games based on the iconic teen girl sleuth since 1998 that have sold over nine million copies, while winning 30 Parents' Choice awards in the process.
Since debuting 86 years ago, more than 100 million print copies of Nancy Drew detective stories have been published in 22 languages and still remain popular today. HeR Interactive has licensed the Nancy Drew trademark from Simon & Schuster.
Genius Brands is adding Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues as a new animated series available October 1 through its Kid Genius Network, an on demand service available on Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA) Xfinity on Demand platform. The new show is aimed at girls 6 – 11 years old, introducing them to a tween version of Nancy Drew and her friends Bess and George and robot puppy to solve the mystery of the missing technology fair project. According to Genius Brands, the detective (or "de-TECH-tive as they put it) team needs to utilize coding basics and critical thinking, such as pattern recognition, to put the clues to together to find the solution to the conundrum.
The new show will join the free, ad-supported on demand Kid Genius Network that includes other Genius Brands shows SpacePOP, Thomas Edison's Secret Lab, Stan Lee's Mighty 7 and Warren Buffett's Secret Millionaires Club (which was created and stars the investing icon). Overall, the company has a stable of over 40 products distributed through Netflix, on demand and public broadcast stations.
Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues will also be a sponsor of Genius Brands tween YouTube series SpacePOP. SpacePOP, which was developed in part by Sponge Bob Square Pants head writer and story editor Steve Banks, is an animated series of adventures following five teenage princesses who disguise themselves as musicians and form a band while secretly working to vanquish an evil Empress seeking to take over the galaxy. The YouTube series was launched in June and has amassed over seven million channel views to date.
"In keeping in line with our mission of providing 'content with a purpose,' Nancy Drew: Codes & Clues is the perfect complement to our ever-growing Kid Genius Network, and we look forward to collaborating with HeR Interactive to create this compelling destination for young girls," stated Deb Pierson, General Manager, Kid Genius Channel, in a news release this morning.
Share of GNUS started 2016 at $1.10 per share, printed a 52-week high at $2.45 in June and are trading currently at $2.00 today.

This town sits at the foot of a small relief at the confluence of streams Villarroya Orcajo and at the foot of a small reñieve called the Castle where there are remains of stone blocks of the first settlement. And is that the first settlers were the Celts who, around the V century BC, a town placed on the top and flat relief, as they did in many other places in the Field of Romans and the region Jiloca. This would be a set of small mud buildings surrounded by a defensive wall made of large stones roughly worked. To isolate the settlement and increase the defensive nature of the relief the Celts dug a large pit in the rock. P>
It extends into the plain in the shadow of a hill on which stands the chapel of St. Bartholomew s. XII, which was built in the same era aproximadamentand that the foundation of the town. This is a simple mud and brick building, which include a powerful stone buttresses. Inside the chapel was a valuable XV century Gothic altarpiece, which was recently moved to the church of the Virgin of the Rosary. P>

Care Working Group
This group is made up of Elders from the Kirk Session along with others interested or involved in the care work of the Church. They work to a Budget given by the Kirk Session and they report to the Kirk Session.
The Minister and Elders make a weekly visit to the Aberdeen and Inverurie Hospitals and will visit anyone from the Parish (members and non members). For more information please click here
Elderly and Housebound
There is a regular programme of elderly and housebound visitation by the Minister (and also through Care Visitors) to members of the congregation who are over 80 years of age or housebound for some reason. Names are usually passed on by the Elder but the Minister would be happy to hear about people who should be visited.
Elder's care areas
The Parish is divided into CARE AREAS each with two or three Elders who have the responsibility of Pastoral care. An Elder will visit from time to time and provide support for the family.
'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.'
Philippians 4:6-7
For more information please click here
Occasional Services of healing are held with the opportunity for prayers to be said for healing and for the ministry of laying on of hands and the anointing of oil. A leaflet is available explaining what we understand about healing from the Biblical Teaching and our approach to this ministry in Kemnay. Click here to Contact the Minister
Ministry of Healing and Laying On of Hands
A small group of people are available to visit and pray with those who request this.

The North East Local Enterprise Partnership working with the Leadership Board of the seven North East councils (the LA7) that will early next year form a Combined Authority, have launched a consultation for allocating £460m of European funding over six years.
LEPs were tasked by government to lead on European Structural and Investment Strategies for 2014-2020 and the NELEP's £460m allocation is one or the largest in the country. It will attract match funding and be invested in driving economic growth and the creation of new jobs through supporting businesses and communities.
Through their consultation, NELEP and the councils want our views on how and where the money should be spent. I would urge all readers to let their views be known – the consultation can be found online at www.nelep.co.uk/european-funding . You have until November 29, to do so.
The thrust of the strategy is the creation of growth by seeking to boost key areas of the economy. This includes research and development, the commercialisation of innovation with a focus on smart specialisation, entrepreneurship and start-up companies, the low-carbon economy and energy generation sector and employability.
Under-represented groups and places with high deprivation will be targeted, alongside high value and strategically important businesses and sectors. It will enhance the North East as a place in which to invest. The conundrum for the region has been how to achieve development and to supply employment space (offices and factories) when most projects suffer from development costs exceeding development value, that is where a negative gap is created.
In the longer-term, through the supply and demand factors in the open market, creating demand will help to increase values. But we have a challenge to ensure that employment space is provided where this gap exists until the open market adjustment is achieved. Otherwise that growth plan will be frustrated by the lack of supply in suitable accommodation.
The European Strategy proposes a North East Fund or Urban Development Fund to provide a bespoke solution for local markets to deliver development. This will operate in a similar way to the JESSICA Fund but under this the North East did not do well. Essentially we needed grant aid to plug the gap in development viability but the JESSICA fund is for loan funding. A delivery plan is essential and the fund must be used to structure a pattern of growth that will ensure we arrive at a viable development scenario in the provision of employment space to attract investment.
